Health that you can eat: The natural supplement MSM is odorless, water-soluble, free from side effects – and yet more effective than some prescription medications. You will be amazed at what an organic sulfur compound can achieve in terms of pain, inflammation, and allergies.
Our usual thought patterns have little sympathy for sulfur; we associate the mineral much more with a devilish stench than with heavenly health. We only hear good things about calcium and magnesium, and the blessings of fluoride and iodine are praised in all media to the skies.But sulfur? Shouldn't something like that best belong on the head of a match?
On the contrary: Apart from fundamental building blocks of life such as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, sulfur is the third most abundant element in the human body after calcium and phosphorus; a respectable 140 to 150 grams can be found distributed across connective tissue, the immune system, skin, and hair – at least it should be that way, because a deficiency in sulfur poses a whole range of acute and chronic diseases.
However, in animals and plants, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is sulfur in a form that can be optimally utilized by the body, is found in abundance. Unfortunately, when food is heated (also through refining or drying), the volatile compound literally evaporates into thin air. For example, raw milk contains between 2 and 5 milligrams of MSM per kilogram, while pasteurized UHT milk contains less than 0.25 mg/kg.Only through the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables do we supply ourselves with the important mineral in significant amounts.
One way is through dietary supplements. As such, MSM can often work wonders, as the deficiencies that occur more frequently with increasing age can manifest in functional disorders of every organ, tissue, and individual cell in the body. MSM not only enhances the effect of most vitamins and nutrients such as vitamin C, all B vitamins, selenium, and magnesium, but also improves their cellular absorption.
The communication network in the body
Due to its chemical structure and biological activity, MSM has unique properties. When ingested with food, the released sulfur forms, among other things, collagen and keratin, the main components of hair and nails.Collagen is furthermore the basic substance of our connective tissue. The latter not only holds the cells together but also plays a significant role in the transmission of bioinformation.
The presence of this communication network also explains the vital effect of MSM on the entire body: sulfur bonds form flexible structures between the cells and the surrounding connective tissue – with a sulfur deficiency, the elasticity of the cells and their membranes is lost.
Less oxygen and nutrients then reach the cells, and less waste is expelled. Reduced vitality and diseases are the natural consequences. Conversely, it is now also understandable why many therapists consider MSM to be the strongest detoxifying agent of all. Once, a young painter ended up in a psychiatric hospital due to serious mental issues.His condition worsened due to the administered antidepressants until a blood test finally showed that it was a poisoning from heavy metals in the paint. Various therapies with homeopathic and orthomolecular detoxification agents brought little improvement. Only after three months with a combination of high-dose MSM and an Ayurvedic sweat treatment did the artist's condition truly improve..
What had happened?
By restoring the permeability of the cell membranes, the nerve cells were finally able to excrete the heavy metals. Because this also applies to cellular waste products, many people feel more alert and less depressed after taking MSM. However, during the first 10 treatment days, one in five patients will experience detoxification symptoms such as diarrhea, rashes, fatigue, or headaches.It can take a while for the body to completely rid itself of released toxins.
Help with allergies and pain
MSM can bind to the mucous membrane, creating a natural protective layer between the body and allergens. This not only alleviates symptoms of food, contact, and inhalation allergies, but also prevents new allergens or parasites such as trichinae and intestinal worms from settling on the mucous membrane. MSM inhibits histamine release at least as effectively as conventional antihistamines, but without their side effects.
It has been known for centuries that sulfur can provide relief for pain, arthritis, and rheumatism – who has never heard of sulfur-containing healing springs? Therefore, if you have never heard of MSM, it does not mean that its properties have not been thoroughly researched.Here at home, science may have been somewhat reserved so far, but in America, there are over 40 studies on the subject from the last 20 years alone. The publication by Prof. Stanley W.Jacob, the director of the pain clinic in Portland, in 1999 was nothing short of sensational. Over a period of 20 years, he administered MSM to around 18,000 pain patients regularly. Result: On average, 70% of the patients became significantly or even completely pain-free.
Application and Dosage
The intake of about 1000mg daily helps with chronic pain (which affects no less than 11 million people in Germany), chronic fatigue, fungal diseases, urinary tract infections, lung diseases, rheumatism, migraines, obesity, diabetes, P.M.S. (Post Menopausal Syndrome), liver dysfunction, tuberculosis, hay fever, morning fatigue, hormonal fluctuations, and radiation.
When applied externally, MSM is effective for acne, bruises, skin problems (such as eczema), varicose veins, bursitis and tendonitis, muscle pain, burns, athlete's foot, and sunburn. The studies conducted by the mentioned Dr. Jacob have shown that a dosage of up to 9000 mg per day remains without side effects. Excess amounts are held by the body in the bloodstream for about 12 hours and are then simply excreted through stool and urine. Depending on the individual's health condition (if it is already optimal, MSM has no positive or negative effect), immune function, and body weight, it may be acceptable to take a bit more. In general, it is advisable to keep the starting dose low and to gradually increase the daily amount. Higher doses should be distributed throughout the day (for example, 3 x 2000 mg), as otherwise, uncomfortable bloating may occur. Additionally, try to take the last dose before 6 PM, as MSM boosts your energy levels and may delay falling asleep. It is particularly important that MSM is taken very regularly over a longer period, with the simultaneous intake of Vitamin C or a multivitamin supplement further enhancing the positive effects of this brilliant dietary supplement. The first results are expected after about three weeks.
