Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Truthfully Liz, I don't think is was the MSM causing the headache... but still you should start slow. A few on the list recommend heaping tablespoons full, but the book, talks in terms of 1, 2, or 3 teaspoons a day, but does continually point out that its hard to overdose on it and there are no bad side effects. I suspect that is true at the lower doses, but higher and you have the detox effect. I have settled in at 20 grams [5 teaspoons] a day so I get the detox effect. Today makes 3 weeks. I got the DMSO and the DMSO book today so I am going to start reading on it and try a little of that see if it helps with the joint pain faster than the MSM on its own. Good luck with your Dad, but to take it easy on him... maybe a 1/4 teaspoon to start once or twice a day. With the supplements your giving him have you considered splitting the lot in two and going on an every other day schedule with him? Just a thought.

So is it best to slowly increase dosage then? thanks, and I hope it keeps helping and your symptoms improve. Liz > > > > I intend to use the DMSO sparingly. I am up to 20 grams of MSM daily.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks...I'm going to look at my dad's regimen this weekend and see how I can add the MSM. Most things must be taken every day and usually 2-4 times a day. Howver, there are probably a few things that we can either cut out or do the every other day thing w/. Problem is we have helpers (4 of them), so it's hard to train them and change stuff all the time, if it ws just me doing it all it would be fine since nutrition and this kind of thing is my passion and interest. Anyway, found this forum link on headaches from MSM, thought you might find interesting. main thing they say is you have to be sure to drink TONs of water. http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=27080 Liz > > > > > > I intend to use the DMSO sparingly.
