Here is more of my personal experience with MSM.
In any event, the pains in the back started going away. I got bold and took 10 capsules just before going to sleep. I was amazed to have a more restful sleep than in years, and to awaken with no pain or stiffness of any kind in my back or neck.
Jean Ross and I both take MSM now, and expect to keep our cells healthy enough to absorb all the other stuff we swallow, and to help those cells get rid of the waste products they accumulate during the day.
We marvel, from time to time, at how people spend their money. We spend a lot on vitamins every month. But, then we see other people spending on cigarettes or whatever. We’re quite satisfied with our financial decisions. I speak to many people about vitamins and health subjects. They often ask me about whether or not they should take this or that. It’s amazing that the answer often comes down to money! Good health is not cheap, but it’s better AND CHEAPER than poor health!
We all live within some limitations on our budget, and we all make decisions on where to spend the cash. I can assure you that when you convert the cost of your monthly cable TV bill to using it on vitamins you will be doubly blessed. The TV is a negative influence on your health, for sure, and the vitamins will be a good one.
But, each of us makes our own decision in these areas.
If you want to improve your health, take MSM on a regular basis. I’ll leave to you where you get the money to take all these wonderful things.

Sulfur
Sulfur is one of the most basic building blocks of the structure of the body. Without the proper amount of sulfur or MSM in our system, we cannot produce good, healthy cells.
We can get this essential nutritional sulfur from some of our foods: milk, fruits, vegetables, meat and fish, but we lose most of this absolutely important mineral by heating, drying and processing our food.
When our system is deficient in MSM, our bodies cannot make enough good cells to overcome the effects of the sick cells.
We then are subject to various illnesses, aches, pains and allergies until we correct the problem with good healthy cells. The body wants to heal itself, if it can get the proper nourishment. We all need a little extra MSM each day for good health!
The body uses up the equivalent of about one capsule (750 mg) of MSM each day during resting time alone.
Active bodies or ailing bodies need more.
MSM
Most people have heard of DMSO, and how hundreds of thousands of people have been helped by using DMSO.
A few years ago, the world's leading DMSO researcher, the eminent Dr. Stanley Jacob of the Oregon Health Sciences University, was able to isolate an extremely important and beneficial part of DMSO. It is referred to as Methyl Sulfonyl Methane, and is simply known as MSM.
It was determined that it was the MSM part of DMSO that brings so many health benefits to those that suffer from various ailments and diseases. MSM provides the health-giving benefits of DMSO without any nuisance side effects.
You Use It Up Every Day
The human body would use up as much as 750 mg of MSM each day, if it were available! Good health practices involve replacing essential substances that our bodies naturally use up or lose through illness or abuse. MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms, and is present in low concentrations in our body fluids and tissues.
Found In Fresh Foods Only
It is found in a variety of fresh foods, including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, and milk. Unless your diet is composed primarily of raw foods, it is unlikely that you are receiving enough MSM for proper health management.
When we process our foods with heat or drying, we lose most of the MSM that is vital to our well-being. MSM helps our bodies utilize the vitamins that we take, providing the means to derive the maximum benefit from them.
The question might arise as to whether the MSM, taken as a supplement, will be as effective as the MSM contained in fresh foods. Fortunately, a study was done on just that, and it showed that MSM does get absorbed by the body tissues when taken as a supplement. (Footnote #17)
Without the proper amount of MSM in our bodies, the amino acids will continue to build the glands, but fail to produce the correct enzymes, making us prone to unnecessary illness.
MSM is the flexible bond between proteins. When a cell dies, a new cell takes its place. Without the needed amount of MSM, it attaches but becomes rigid.
When tissues lose their flexibility, problems develop with the lungs and other parts of the body.
MSM detoxifies the body and increases blood circulation.
Because there are few nerves in the bones, our pain comes from the soft tissue. MSM takes out the inflammation, permits the muscles to heal and prevents them from becoming sore. If you play sports or work-out in a gym and normally get sore muscles the next day, take 4 capsules of 750 mg each of MSM before exercise and you will notice a difference. If taken after exercise, the soreness will go away faster.
MSM Gets Rid Of Those Pesky Free Radicals
MSM is a free radical scavenger, so allergies to food and pollens will go away.
MSM also prevents overreaction to other medicines, so it does not work against any medications.
MSM controls acidity in the stomach, so it can help ulcers. MSM coats the intestinal tract so parasites lose their ability to hang on. They are then flushed away. This could prevent colon problems.
MSM is no more toxic than water. It can never hurt anyone. (Footnote #18)
If you overdose, the extra MSM becomes inert and just passes through your system. MSM has one side effect...your fingernails and hair will grow faster and become stronger. This is because there is more MSM in hair and nail cells than in any other part of the body. You need a little extra MSM every day to promote good health.
Sulfur is a mineral found in rather high concentrations in our body tissues. About half of the body's total sulfur is concentrated in the muscles, while the other half is found in the brain, hair, skin and bones. Sulfur comprises 0.25 percent of our body weight.
Sulfur – The Protein Building Block
Sulfur has a vital relationship with protein, since sulfur is found in the amino acids methionine, cystine, and cysteine. Thus, these amino acids are known as the sulfur bearing amino acids which are considered the building blocks of protein.
The sulfur-bearing amino acid methionine is absolutely essential to health! This means it must be supplied by live food, or the food supplement MSM. My oral chelation formula, of course, contains both cysteine and methionine. When you are deficient in these amino acids, your muscles and body will weaken. If you take "enough" you get a strong body. If you take "too much," the extra cysteine, for instance, will be used to get rid of toxic metals in the body. So, it’s rather hard to take "too much" of these sulfur amino acids.
The MSM won’t do the same thing as cysteine, but your body can manufacture cysteine for cell building out of the MSM that you give it. (Footnote #19)
So, MSM is a vital nutrient that you should have in your daily intake.
A lack of proper protein in our diet, therefore means a lack of the vital organic sulfur necessary for good health. Proteins contain sulfur, while carbohydrates and fats do not.
Sulfur is necessary for collagen synthesis. Collagen is an insoluble fibrous protein found in vertebrates. It is the dominant component of connective tissue and bones. Sulfur operates as a synthesizer and activator with the B vitamins, thiamin, vitamin C, biotin, and pantothenic acid, all of which are needed for metabolism and healthy nerves.
Sulfur plays an important part in tissue breathing, the process whereby oxygen and other substances are used to build cells and release energy.
Sulfur also helps to maintain overall body balance between acidity and alkalinity, and works importantly with the liver to excrete bile.
Research indicates that perhaps sulfur's most important health role is in carbohydrate metabolism, which is significant for hypoglycemics and diabetics. (Footnote #20)
Sulfur is a significant component of insulin, the protein hormone secreted by the pancreas that is essential to the metabolism of carbohydrates. A lack of nutritional sulfur in the diet can result in low insulin production.
On the other hand, a diet that contains adequate amounts of sulfur might increase the body's ability to produce insulin to the point where insulin injections can be reduced.
Because nutritional sulfur helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy, it has been referred to as "Nature's Beauty Mineral."
My name is Lisa and I have bad problems with allergies. Whenever pollen is in the air, I will sneeze and wheeze uncontrollably. I started taking the MSM twice daily and in a few days my allergies were under control. I still take the MSM and my allergies just don't seem to bother me anymore.
Here's how it works:
An allergic reaction is simply your body's reaction to something foreign in your system. These foreign proteins and free radicals invade your body and cause reactions and problems. Your body responds with a sneeze, wheeze, swollen, puffy eyes, etc.
When you take MSM, your cells become more permeable, enabling your body to quickly wash out any foreign particles in your system. Every twelve hours your body is designed to flush each cell of any unwanted debris. When your diet is deficient, the cell walls become hard and stiff and this hinders fluid flow through the cell walls.
MSM softens the cell walls, allowing foreign proteins and free radicals to be washed out of your system. If enough MSM is taken, all of the foreign particles can be flushed from your system and your allergies will no longer occur.
