Free radicals are unstable molecules and atoms with unpaired electrons, which, by force of nature, attract electrons from their surrounding environment. Free radicals are not all harmful. Actually, life without free radicals is impossible. They are needed for te cellular energy production. The liver produces free radicals during the breakdown of harmful substances. And the body's immune system uses free radicals to kill viruses and bacteria. The body houses antioxidants which bind and deactivate free radicals. The normal productions of free radicals in a healthy human therefore are harmless. However, the overproduction of free radicals can be very harmful. They can begin a chain reaction which eventually can cause great harm to cell membranes and chromosomes. Overproduction of free radicals is caused by physical and mental stress, malnutrition, air pollution, heavy metals and organic contaminants in drinking water and food, radiation and cigarette smoke. In such cases the body needs extra antioxidants from our food. MSM is such an antioxidant. > > As a major sulfur donor, MSM is essential for the proper functioning of the body's anti oxidation system. When neutralizing free radicals, the body uses a variety of antioxidant enzymes that contain sulfur amino acids, and derive their structure and biological activity from sulfur bonds (S-S). Besides, MSM provides the sulfur for the amino sulfur acids methionine, cysteine and taurine, that are considered powerful antioxidants. When split off, the thiol (-SH) groups of these amino acids are capable of neutralizing free radicals (17). Sulfur is also necessary for the formation of what is considered the most powerful nutritional antioxidant, glutathion (5). And as stated before, MSM potentiates the effect of well known nutritional antioxidants as the vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10, selenium etc. (5, 7). MSM itself also appears to act as an antioxidant (7). The mucosa contains a carbon-sulfur bond cleaving enzyme, termed C-S lyase. Studies suggest that when bound to the mucosa, cleavage of MSM provides an electron deficient group CH3SO2 which can neutralize free radicals (4). > > Re: [ ] Re: MMS-LITE is here > > > > > > > > I feel that person responsible for investigating & making available the MMS-lite should be commended for his research & efforts. > > > > Having read the information very thoroughly a number of times it is my belief that it is well worth looking into. Nowhere can I find that he is selling the product. It does appear however that he is producing an eBook regarding MMS-lite which he will sell for $19.95 when it is completed & donate some of the proceeds to charity. > > > > I've downloaded the 6 pages describing the process of manufacture & I really can't see why the need for an eBook as it is quite complete in & of itself! > > I've also made some general editing of the article to make it easier to read...no changes to the words or text.
