Guest guest Posted April 14, 2000 Report Share Posted April 14, 2000 Hi, Yes you can take MSM with the antobiotics, since MSM is a natural sulfer product that reduces inflammation and pain. It is best to take it with some food, and you can use from 1,00 to 4,00 mg per day, depending on your need. We have found it to be VERY helpful with JRA. Best wishes, D. --- bondan <bondan@...> wrote: > Hi all > I've just purchased a bottle of msm.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2000 Report Share Posted July 14, 2000 Diane, You may want to talk to the rheumy about your MTX dose. I worked up through various amounts, starting at 5 MG then 7.5, 10, 15 and finally 20MG a week. It took about 6-9 months to get to 20MG. It worked for me. My rheumy and I added Celebrex about 8 months ago and that has done wonders for the tummy and makes the morning wakeup and get out of bed routine much easier. I still have pain, but not the blinding can't move type of pain that I had for years. Fatigue is still a problem, but if I pace myself at least I can do a few things. I have had PA since 1976, and I think I have had every med know to man and beast. We all are different, but you may want to give MTX a longer trial since you have not had any luck with other meds.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Newbie, Jan, here, also tested very allergic to dust mites, also wake up every morning to congestion and uncontrolable runny nose. Putting my pillows throught the dryer before bed helps some, the heat kills off dust mites. I have been on MSM at the suggestion of a naturopath for about a week now, 6,000 mg per day, no noticable improvement yet. I will be receiving immunotherapy from the ear, nose, throat allergy docs, they promise relief, I hope, I pray! Jan > > > Hey-- I'm real curious about MSM.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 I haven't noticed any particular effect from taking MSM, except that my allergies & asthma are much better and I went off my meds within 3 days. I take 5000 mg a day in 1000 mg pills throughout the day. Others may have a different experience. --- Earn a dime every time you receive email!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2000 Report Share Posted November 13, 2000 It didn't do much for my candida, I have to admit, but MSM did wonders for my allergies within a week. I think it depends where your candida is - the Ph. changes will make it harder for candida to live outside the digestive tract, but if your candida isn't systemic it might not help much. Persevere with it - some people say it can take 2 months or so to have a noticeable effect, and even if it doesn't get rid of the candida it does all sorts of other good things, improving the health of your skin, hair etc. Ann ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.willow-web.net Quality Web Design ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Mine too - drives me nuts! I have to file them every 5 or 6 day snow, and my hair's growing like mad as well! Got a rotten cold today, which I think is a good thing. Usually, when people around me have colds, I feel rotten for anything up to 3 weeks without any of the usual cold symptoms, as the virus jsut lurks and my system sits back and lets it be. This time, my immune system is actually fighting it - been feeling icky since Thursday, so in a prverse sort of way, I was delighted to wake up this morning with a runny nose and a sore throat!! :@) Ann ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.willow-web.net Quality Web Design ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 Liz: the white stuff was parasites. it sounds like your doing good. i never heard of the Homozon before. i take a sub-lingual DMG it gives you oxygen also. Mog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 I started taking Colustrum first and experienced Die Off symptoms right away!!!! Then a week later I began taking MSM and I have to tell you that I started getting a mild burning sensation where I used to get pain in my joints, ear, behind eyes. I think I have fybromyalgia but of course that is not diagnosed either. But all my muscle pain went away in 2 weeks time. I was having awful time sleeping. I believe I may have additional bacteria in my system as well as parasites, but I feel so much better in 3 months than I have been in 3 year. MSM helped me to have bowel movements also. Found white stuff stuck to it. It's working. I came across this product called Homozon. Have taken it for 3 days. Incredible energy it has given me and actually gives me a full bowel movement. Not a little bitty one. This has to be added to the program, it sends oxygen to your entire system. You feel it when you get your bowel movements. I take 1 dose in the morning, if taken in the evening I may not sleep. I feel like excersizeing and it feels good. Before my muscles would just fatigue and I would get so out of breath it is useless!!!! It must be taken with distilled water and real lemon juice. The acid the the lemon triggers the oxgen process. LIZ Re: [candidiasis) 5-htp Hi there I was doing research about 5-htp a few months ago. I have been taking it once in a while and it pretty good. I also take it with kava kava. Here is little into link about it. http://www.thehormoneshop.com/5-htplibrary.htm I also read an article about MSM -Methylsulfonylmethane and they say that is helpful for candida. Is anybody using it? As well I have been reading your posts about obsession with the 'perfect diet'. I had a problem with food before being diagnosed with candida (too much binging on crap food) and sometimes the unrealistic goals I place on myself to only eat what is on my 'clean diet' can drive me crazy. I beat myself up if I had some fruit, and once you have one thing, then why not a cookie. what a battle. thanks for all the great info everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have found that MSM exhibits a profoundly positive effect on many " soft-tissue " insults (e.g. bursitis) occuring in the immediate vicinity of articulating joints. In some cases...involving older volunteers (65 and up), we discovered that 15 to 20 grams of MSM, administered over three equally-spaced intervals, during the daylight hours, resulted in---sometimes REMARKABLE---improvement in pain relief and joint mobility. Interestingly, this occurred in some instances which were non-responsive to Gluscosamine and Chondroitin protocols. In ALL cases copious water was ingested. There are differences of opinion---among our staff---as to the exact physiological mechanism responsible.....probably more than one There is small doubt that MSM plays a critical role in the body's water management reactions.....expecially when addressing cases of " systemic drought " . Furthermore, we have determined that the most insidious circumstance encountered relating to general well-being (especially of adults) is the condition of " sub-clinical " dehydration. This is a condition which expresses without any clearly recognizeable symptoms becoming evident. Unfortunately, the body compensates by an automatic instigation of its own version of " drought management " . By the time " headaches " manifest as a clinical condition, dehydration has progressed to serious proportions. Our cross-sectional social/age population evaluations (conducted in 1997) revealed " sub-clinical " dehydration to exist in 85% of ALL populations-----(95%) in the over 65 bracket. One interesting circumstance encountered was that----after the conclusion of our several " hydration " protocol experiments, we administered therapeutic quantities of water (approximately .75 ounces per lb. of body mass) to 25 of the " control " subjects.....who had continued their previous life-style, without interruption. Fifeteen of these individuals favorably reconciled a rather diverse range of chronic afflictions (ranging from both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, to sciatica, migrane headaches, persistant allergies, urinary complications and chronic backaches)----NO OTHER protocol additions wer made. The striking characteristic (to us) was that these type conditions are the LEAST likely to exhibit placebo-like resolution. Our researches indicate that the single most powerful influence on the general health of human beings appears to be the consumption of copious quantities of UNCONTAMINATED drinking water. It saddens me to be unable to visually demonstrate the great importance of this simple " health-support " requirement.............to all of you. However, I must be satisfied with the priviledge of imposing upon your attention......for this time. Sincerely, Bradley. p.s. We found the most effective " maintenance " quantities of water....for adult volunteers, to be in the range of .5 to .6 ounces per lb. of body mass----ingested daily. This will, usually, cause urinary urgency of a greater frequency than the volunteer's historical experience (sometimes every 30 minutes >). As a general rule, the more pronounced the urine color, odor and the urgency.....the more pronounced the dehydration and systemic toxic insult present.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Methylsulfoxide, I believe. MSM by Dr. Morton is a book that should be read if you're going to take it. Ignore quackwatch on this one. Lot's of MD's are suggesting it for pain relief. It has the toxicity of water (unlike other NSAID's) and is usually just as effective. Go to www.dogpile.com and type letters MSM into the blank space and press enter. That should give you more links than you want to follow through on.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 MSM is NOT a 'sulfa' drug. Natural sulfer and SULFA are two different things... MSM is GOOD for everyone. When you see a dog chewing on grass outside? He's chewing off the natural msm coating (natural sulfer) on the grass.... wendy MSM I have not tried MSM...I am allergic to sulfur and sulfa drugs. I talked to several pharmacists about taking MSM. They told me with the reaction I get from the sulfur/sulfa...they recommended that I probably wouldn't do well on it.
