Guest guest Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Good for a lot of things. I was taking it for back pain and noticed the patches of psoriasis on my elbows disappeared. Chuck I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I am hoping for pain relief and reduction of inflammation. Anything else will be a bonus. Already gave up the gluten and dairy, so lets hope MSM helps. laura ________________________________ From: lizz7711 <lizz7711@...> Coconut Oil Sent: Mon, September 19, 2011 10:36:14 PM Subject: Why MSM? I've noticed a lot of talk about MSM here...I was wondering what people are generally taking it for? Is it mainly for arthritis/pain? Is there any reason someone w/out arthritis or pain should take it? I used to have lots of joint pains and headaches before I cut out dairy (casein) and gluten...since then, none at all unless I eat something I shouldn't...for me the joint pain stopped w/ cutting out dairy (I cheat w/ dairy, never w/ gluten - and I feel the punishment if I overdo it!), but I have a friend who cut out gluten and got rid of her severe arthritis in her hands.

I'd say yes, I'd still take it even if I had no current symptoms - remember, 'symptom free' doesn't automatically mean you are the epitome of health. But, if you have no symptoms you are treating, then you probably don't need the extremely high therapeutic doses we are talking about either... I'd say 5-10 grams per day would be a good 'maintenance' dose for general health, and just ramp it up if you ever need to. Another good time to ramp up would be pre-surgery, pre-triathlon, etc - ie, prior to anything that you know will be stressful to your body, especially your joints.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi All: Again, I'd say that Tans is right on, but who is counting? There is no such thing as " the body having too much organic sulfur " by all current information (and Dr. Seneff concurs, so far, on the Mercola interview). One thing for certain, t we know that there is definitely such a thing as a deficiency. Since no one that I know of has ever done theraputic amounts of MSM over a long period other than the guy who turned me onto it, his family, and myself, it is still to early to say for certain if there is an upper limit, but I do know that neither my wife nor myself has ever encountered it. But give me feedback like some here have done. I want to know. One thing that I can see is that separating the toxin release problem from a reaction problem will always be difficult. I find that if I skip it for more than three or four days, however, all hell begins to break loose. And some of those who suffer from joint pain and arthritis know exactly what I mean. By the way, my health wizard/ radionics guru/ friend and I are working on a supercharged version of MSM, as we speak and expect to start trials within a month or so. Of course, I will be one of my first subjects. I eventually plan to market it, but have far too many projects to say for certain. It should be good. I'll keep you informed.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks for the info everyone! I may wait till I have had a chance to chelate mercury w/ DMSA before taking it, but will certainly look into MSM in the future!
