Re: Regarding MSM [tanstaff]

[Guest guest]

What would you suggest I start out at? And actually if you upped it every 3

days, given no intestinal distress even sooner, it would go up rather

quickly... 1/4 / 1/2 /1 tsp/ 2 tsp/ 1 tbs / 2 tbs/ in at most 18 days....

I await your wisdom....

The other brand I would buy next was flakes.. so I will get that brand next

month. But I know my history with drugs be they natural or from big pharma... I

am just so sensitive. Of course this is one of the things MSM is claiming to

fix. We will see.

That's the brand I use...

Imnsho, this is pointless...

Start out with a lot, and then back off *if* you have problems.

Otherwise, it will take you months, or even *years* to get up to the

therapeutic doses required to do what you want to do.

Sorry, but that's just a plain fact.

Flake is best - powdered generally has some anti-caking agents added to

it to - prevent caking...

Personally, I'd start out at 1 Tablespoon, 3 times per day (taking it

directly in the mouth as described earlier)...

Then, if you have no distress for a few days, up it to 6-8 times per day

This gets you to the max dosage in just a few days...

Also, vitamin c works synergistically with it... so, add in 1/4-1/2

teaspooon of vit c (l-ascorbic acid) powder, 2-3 times per day as well...

I will think on it and I got the Vitamin C coming tomorrow too... need it for

the NAC. So I am all good as Duncan would say....

It is not about gastric distress, It is about not detoxing too quickly.

If you have been taking 1gm/day or more for two weeks and still feel

good, that should not be an issue.

I jumped into to 1/2 cup/day immediately, because I was not aware of

the detox issue. There were no ill effects, though.

However, if you are taking a lot abd start feeling badly, back off for

awhile.
