Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 From Dr. Stanley Research suggests MSM produces many-but not all-of the DMSO effects. The following are considered MSM's most significant actions: It is an analgesic. It relieves pain. It reduces inflammation. It passes through cellular membranes of the body, including the skin. It dilates blood vessels (vasodilation) and increases blood flow. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Cholinsterase is an enzyme that stops excessive passage of nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another. Dr has seen MSM provide swift relief of constipation. By blocking the action of cholinesterase, MSM helps restore normal bowel activity (peristalsis). It reduces muscle spasm. Injury or inflammation commonly cause spasm in a muscle or group of muscles. Spasm involves a sudden contraction, which is followed by pain and interference with function. Spasm can be felt by a physician's touch or measured with electromyography. If you apply MSM gel or cream to an affected area and then feel the muscle again later, or measure it electrically, the muscle is looser, the area less tender. MSM taken orally produces a muscle-relaxing effect. It alters the crosslinking process in collagen, thus reducing scar tissue. Crosslinking is the process in which new structural proteins are knitted to existing healthy tissue at the ites of surgical incisions or traumatic damage in the body. It has antiparasitic properties, particularly for giardia and trichomonas, protozoan parasites that causes diarrhea. It has an immune normalizing effect, as observed in some autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma. Suzi What is a weed?
