MSM

What is it? and what does it do?

A search of the net will show you that most agree with the information on this page:

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is not a medicine, drug or a food additive. It is a nutritional food supplement found in all foods – milk, fruits, meats and vegetables. MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms. MSM is the 3rd largest ingredient found in your body. Your body is made up of water, salt and MSM

The body uses MSM to create new, good healthy cells. Vitamins and amino acids work with MSM during this process. Without proper levels of MSM, our bodies are unable to build good healthy cells, and this leads to illness. Our bodies are producing new cells 24 hours per day. If your body doesn’t receive the proper nutrition and building materials it needs, it will produce bad, dysfunctional cells, deficient of the basic ingredients that constitute a healthy cell. If we want a good flexible cell, capable of maintaining good health, we need to supplement our diets with MSM, to enable the body to heal itself. Your body knows what it needs better than any doctor. It will use MSM wherever it is needed in your system. Give your body the MSM it needs so it can provide more nutrition and heal itself.

Because of its volatile nature, MSM is quickly lost from food when it is processed, cooked and/or stored. The second you pick fruit or vegetables from the tree or vine it begins rapidly losing MSM. Even in meat, MSM is not as abundant as it used to be. Today, animals are being fed with dried, stored grasses, hay and grains, deficient in MSM. When your body uses the MSM molecule to produce a new cell, the MSM is lost forever. We need to continuously replace the bodies needed supply of MSM to produce new, good healthy cells. A conventional diet does not supply the minimum requirement of MSM. It is absent in synthetic food additives, dietary mineral compositions, food substitutes and most fillers used to dilute or modify foods. With today’s modern diet of cooked and otherwise processed and diluted foods, most – if not all – diets of civilized man are deficient in this critically important ingredient.

 

How safe is MSM?

MSM is as safe as drinking pure water. Because of its inert nature, MSM is non-allergenic, non-pyretic, and has no interfering or undesirable pharmacological effects. You cannot overdose with MSM. The body will use what it needs. And after 12 hours, will flush any excess amounts out of the body. MSM will flush what the body does not retain semi-permanently every 12 hours, and because it is a free radical and foreign protein scavenger, MSM cleans the blood stream, so allergies to food and pollens go away in about 3 to 4 days. To maintain good healthy cells, take MSM in the morning and the evening.

 

An Essential Dietary Sulfur!

MSM was isolated by Robert Herschler and Dr. Stanley Jacob of the Oregon Health Sciences University. MSM, or methyl sulfonyl methane, is a natural organic compound, found in all living things. In his research, Dr. Jacob determined that the sulfur in MSM called sulfonyl, is as safe and as important as vitamin C in our diet, unlike the bad sulfurs: sulfa, sulfate, sulfite and sulfide.

 

Sulfur A Major Key To Health:

MSM comes from the ocean and is a prime source of bio-available sulfur, which is lost from our food by processing, drying, cooking and preserving. MSM is an important food (not a drug or medicine) and plays many roles in the body, including the stimulation of the growth of healthy skin, hair and nails. It is needed by the body for healthy connective tissues and joint function, proper enzyme activity and hormone balance, along with the proper function of the immune system.

 

What MSM Does

Many years of clinical use at Oregon Health Sciences University have demonstrated that MSM delivers the following pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits without serious side effects: *Inhibition of pain impulses along nerve fibers *Lessening of inflammation *Increase blood supply *Reduction of muscle spasm *Softening of scar tissue. MSM makes cell walls permeable, allowing water and nutrients to freely flow into cells and allowing wastes and toxins to properly flow out. The building blocks of the body, amino acids, are all sulfur bounders and play a major role in the production of hormones and enzymes which regulate the body’s activities. MSM provides the flexible bond between the cells. Some cells are prone to lose their flexibility, like scar tissue, wrinkles, vericose veins, hardened arteries and damaged lung tissues.
