Al Ramirez
Subject: Big Dilemma

Dear Karl,

My wife, Betty, and I have been taking a heaping tablespoon of MSM twice a day for almost 3 weeks. It has eliminated our arthritic pains. In her case, the pain in her left knee and the weakness in the joint has stopped, BUT she has developed a rash in her upper thighs. It doesn't bother her, other than a slight itching sometimes, but does worry her.

I told her about your experience with your chest, then your back, and finally your legs. She wanted to go see a skin specialist and I dissuaded her, telling her to stop taking the crystals first to see if the blotches would clear.

What would you suggest, based on your experience?

The five kilos I ordered came yesterday and I am going to keep taking it until I turn cherry red.

Please let me know what to tell Betty.

Many thanks. AL

Dear Betty,

Enjoy the rash!

I suspect that a skin specialist wouldn't have the slightest clue as to what was causing that rash. They are oriented toward drugs. He might offer you a drug to stop the itching, stop the rash. That would be exactly the wrong thing to do, of course.

Really, I'm serious. It itches terribly, I know.

Also, if you stop taking MSM the rash will not disappear quickly -- but more likely take a few weeks to go away.

The rash is undoubtedly toxins leaving your body through the skin.

It is the MSM which does that.

I went through several months of that, personally.

The rash would be much less noticeable if you take smaller amounts of MSM, but you are doing great things for your body.

Also, I found an MSM lotion (MSM mixed with Aloe Vera and a few other items) and found it to be very soothing.

We don't sell any of that lotion -- I would like to, but it is a big deal to get it made.

You can try mixing some of the MSM with any oil that you might be willing to use -- Aloe Vera gel would be the best -- perhaps you can find some?

I get the MSM lotion at about $40 per large bottle. I use it even now because it helps relieve dry skin itch. I don't get rashes now -- I've been using MSM for a few years -- but in California I get dry skin itch and MSM helps there.

Dear Karl,

That's great.

You may give people my address.  I would be intrigued to see if I get any messages.

It's Al Ramirez, at:    ransom@hiline.net .

Thanks,

Al.

The latest, received February 8, 1999, from Betty:

Thank you, Karl.

While I'm not really "enjoying" my rash, it has begun to fade away without any treatment. The best part about the MSM is that anytime my knee begins to hurt I can stop it in 15 minutes with a teaspoon dissolved in water. I'm even getting used to the taste. An unexpected benefit is that before taking the crystals I walked unsteadily. Now, somehow, I'm walking normally. So -- no limp, no pain -- all gain. Thank you very much.

BETTY

Received on February 11, 1999:

Dear Karl,

1. The pain in my left thumb and in the knuckles of my right hand has gone.

2. I walk more briskly, feel more alert, and seem to "think faster."

3. Although never a problem, my elimination has greatly improved. The first few days I noticed that my urine was a bright yellow, but is now normal.

4. Also in the first few nights my dreams were better scripted, included some scenes in color, and I remembered them better than I ever have when I awoke. Those effects seem to have diminished, or perhaps I've gotten used to them.

In regards to dreaming, others who started taking MSM have told me that their dreams were affected -- one had a nightmare about rats and another saw flashing colored lights. Has anyone ever reported similar effects?

Betty continues to be pain-free in the knee that she was told needed to surgically corrected. She also reports that she no longer limps around because of that knee joint.

I'll be reporting more as I hear from people that are taking it daily.

Last week I gave my printer half a pound to try. He'll be letting me know. I'm sending some to a friend in San Diego to see if the pain in her right shoulder and elbow can be eased.

Haven't been on the web in the last few days. I'll be going back to your sites soon.

Dear Al,

It is very interesting to hear people talk about their experiences with MSM.  I think I'm right that I never told you to expect vivid dreams?  Most people DO have that experience and it is so dramatic that they comment about it.  I was personally amazed when it happened for me -- it was the color and the vividness that impressed me.

I think my dreams are still more "real," but as you suggest, once you get used to it you don't experience a difference, from one night to the next.  So, yes, there is quite a change in this respect and most people will have that experience, probably only when they start with MSM, and possibly only when they use fairly large quantities (5 grams per day or more).

Congratulations on being willing to use those 20 grams.  You have done me a very big favor.

When I, personally, started taking MSM I had some very dramatic benefits.  Then, gradually two things happened.  I didn't notice any more changes and I started forgetting to take the MSM.  I finally got to where I would go for days without taking any MSM.  And, my pains returned.  But, even though the pains returned I didn't go back to taking very much MSM.

Now that I have a ton of the stuff sitting here, I sure can't complain about a shortage!

So, I've been taking it more regularly.  I have a jar in my bathroom and every time I remember I go in there and take a teaspoon full.  But, before hearing from you I was still only taking about 2 or 3 spoonfuls per day.

And, my dear wife, Jean Ross, has been suffering with a very painful knee for many months.  She, too, had some excellent relief a couple years ago when she first used MSM, but had been taking it less often, and in smaller amounts.

So, both of us heard your story and Betty's!  We are both now taking more.

I'm noticing that my pains are getting less, and she is too.

So, Al, thanks for giving ME that guidance!

And, keep writing -- you are serving as an example to thousands!
