Guest guest Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 This is one reference; I know we've had others, but it's late & I'm tired. Try searching under MSM studies. As far as I know, MSM has not been studied specifically for sarc pain; Tracie could enlighten us further when she's feeling better. There have been two human, double blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trials that have indicated that MSM is effective for osteoarthritis. One of the studies was published by the journal, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (2006 Mar;14(3):286-94). Ramblin' Rose Moderator A merry heart is good medicine.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thank you! I followed the link to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & list_uids=163099\ 28 & dopt=Books and that looks like an interesting paper.. Also, plugging in " methylsulfonylmethane " I got 87 hits back, many of which are about methylsulfonylmethane being used for arthritis and inflammation There is a good monograph on MSM from Alternative Medicine Review http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/8/4/438.pdf There was also an article that evaluated a number of nutrients for their effect on arthritis.. (Many antioxidants and also fish oil reduce inflammation..) Osteoarthritis and nutrition.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 The PUREMSM site also explains a lot about MSM. It is a natural mineral that WAS in our soils and was transmitted to the crops grown in the soil. It was thought to be unnecessary- so when it was depleted, it was not replenished. MSM is needed for collagen health, and has proven to be important in muscle and ligament and joint health. I learned of it from a man that was using it for burns. He'd been in an accident and had most of his body burnt with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. He used the cream on the grafts, and the healing has been incredible. The elasticity of the grafts was amazing. If you've ever seen severe burns- (I worked with a physical therapist that helped kids with burns)-- it is as brutal as it gets. Those kids went thru hell, as the grafts contract and have to be forced via massage to loosen up- even the staff was in tears by the time the kids left... Another friend starting using it for the bruising he gets from being on prednisone and blood thinners. He rubs the cream on- and within a couple of days of using it-- the bruising stopped. I use it for the joint/muscle/bone pain-- and found it to be better than anything else! The hardness of my muscles has significantly decreased, so that I can move more easily. That alone helps the pain issues. MSM is leached from foods by processing-- whether cooked or frozen. Most foods do not even contain any-- since the soils are only replenished with 3 of 85 known minerals and nutrients. If you can't handle the powder, order the tablets. If your skin is thin and you bruise easily, order the skin cream. I havent tried it myself, and I should- as it may very well help with the erythymous nodesum..
