I never had this happen to me, you poor thing you! It sounds so discusting! And painful. Would make sense is that most of your symptoms started after this barbaric action to your breasts, I am sure it did indeed cause an immediate shedding of infectious agents, and/or silicone particles, and who knows what else! God, I couldnt image! And I have had needle biopsy tests on my neck, and I thought that was bad. The thought of my breasts being squeezed until I hear a "pop" is horrifying. The things we have went through to feel "complete" to look "the right way" according to most standards is surely very sad. I finally know what true acceptance is. I think God has me on this journey as I am finally forced to accept myself in order to stay alive, or I can simply die trying to be the person I am not. And I clearly was on that way. I have slow metablism right now, because of my thyroid problems due to the auto immune disease, and for the 1st time in my life, I am okay with not being perfect. With being 15 pounds overweight, despite rigid workouts and dieting. I just have to give my body time to heal. I have small b cup breasts that have scars under them, and I can actually hear myself saying " I am glad you are back: I missed you so much!" I can finally appreciate the natural beauty of my breasts, flawed and all.No they are not big, nor are they "perfect" by standards by any means, but I love them, because they belong to me. That feels so good! Good Luck to you , you certainly can to the right place! All the girls on the site are great each in their own way- you will get so much info here! Welcome.

What is MSM?

MSM is present in most green plant food and certain algae, but is destroyed

with dehydration and heat. Simply stated, if you cook your food, you're

eliminating important nutritional benefits, including MSM.

MSM is the transport molecule for elemental sulfur which is required for

proper assimilation of the amino acids methiorine and cysteine. In addition,

the peptide hormone, insulin, requires sulfur in its molecular structure,

and numerous other proteins, catalysts, and enzymes incorporate sulfur into

their molecular framework.

Proteins are essential for proper cellular metabolism and soft tissue

synthesis. Proper protein synthesis can only be achieved with amino acid

monomers which maintain the correct molecular framework for soft and

connective tissue throughout the human body.

Because protein is the main ingredient in most soft tissue, beneficial

effects from regular usage of MSM have been reported for alleviating

arthritis, improved flexibility, smoother skin, healthier hair and nails,

and faster and better healing from surgical procedures or traumatic events.

MSM, Methylsulfonylmethane is a naturally occurring dietary derivation of

DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide). It serves as an important source of bioavailable

dietary sulfur and when administered orally, is effective in ameliorating

symptoms of physiological response to stress including gastrointestinal

upset, inflammation of the mucous membranes, pain associated with

musculoskeletal system disorders, and infectant allergens. MSM has proved

useful as a dietary supplement for both children and adults, including

geriatric patients. MSM is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing compound

with multiple functions in the body. MSM is naturally present in body fluids

and tissues and is found in milk and a variety of fruits, vegetables, and

grains in small amounts. At low levels of ingestion, it functions as a

normal dietary ingredient and assimilable source of essential dietary

sulfur. At higher levels, it functions as a pharmaceutically active agent

which can be used safely and effectively for a variety of purposes.

The development of MSM as a dietary supplement stemmed from research on

DMSO. As a stable, odorless dietary metabolite of DMSO, MSM possesses

certain biomedical properties similar to DMSO, together with additional

biological activity not possessed by DMSO. MSM, unlike DMSO, is a dietary

factor and is free of the unpleasant odor found with the use of DMSO. MSM,

like DMSO, enhances urinary taurine secretion produced by aromatic

hydrocarbons in man and neutralizes the toxicity of anticholinesterases,

thereby providing protection against insecticide exposure or ingestion.

MSM and many precursor compounds which are readily converted to MSM in the

body, are found in most natural, unprocessed foods. However, because of its

volatility, it is readily lost when fresh food is processed and/or stored.

Unless the diet consists largely of raw, unprocessed, foods it is unlikely

that sufficient MSM will be ingested to contribute significantly to the

daily nutritional requirements, thus furthering the high incidence of sulfur

deficient diets which exist globally.

Sulfur plays an indispensable role in human nutrition which is often

overlooked. It is responsible for the conformation of body proteins through

the formation of disulfide bonds, thereby holding connective tissue

together. Thiol (ie. sulfhydryl) groups are vital for the catalytic function

of several body enzymes. To perform these roles, constant intake of

assimilable sulfur is needed by the body.

Although MSM has not yet been established to be a vitamin, it does have a

vitamin-like moderating or normalizing activity for various body functions,

as there appears to be high correlation between abnormal physiological

symptoms and low MSM blood levels in human beings. Although MSM is found as

a natural constituent of food stuffs, like vitamin D, the principle supply

is believed to be synthesized by the body using one of its naturally

occurring precursor compounds. Also, excretion data shows that MSM occurs in

lower concentrations with increasing age. Too low a body concentration of

MSM may potentially result in adverse physical and psychological stress,

tissue and organ malfunction, fatigue, and increased susceptibility to

disease.

MSM is necessary for collagen synthesis: skin, hair, nails -- keeps cells

from becoming rigid, softens tissue (the beauty mineral) offers relief from

stress, asthma, arthritis, inflammation, constipation, candida detoxifies

the body, increases blood circulation reduces muscle cramps, leg cramps,

back pain removes inflammation, permits muscles to heal increases energy,

alertness, mental calmness, ability to concentrate is a free radical

scavenger, relieves allergies to foods and pollens helps liver produce

choline controls acidity in stomach and ulcers coats intestinal tract so

parasites lose ability to hang on helps with hypersensitivity to drugs

increases body's ability to produce insulin and is important for

carbohydrate metabolism speeds wound healing is a food supplement/nutrient.
