MSM
Patent Situation
A search in the US Patent Office, for any patents in which the phrase "methylsulfonylmethane" occurs showed up several patents, all by the same person. Linked to this page are all of the patents relative to MSM to be found..
All of these patents are in the name of:
Inventor: Herschler; Robert J. (3080 NW. 8th Ave., Camas, WA 98607). Click here to see a page where "any" "Herschler" name was connected with a patent.
None of these patents cover the "process" or "technology" by which MSM is manufactured. They cover what is usually called a "usage claim," such as the claim that MSM, when used in a certain way, reduces pain. In general it would be very hard for this patent holder to prevent anyone from voicing a similar claim, but the patent allows this inventor to not only make that claim but to put the word "patented" next to the products for which he makes that claim. Someone else could make a similar claim, but could not call his product "patented" without getting permission of the holder of the patent.

Methylsulfonylmethane (CH(3) SO(2) CH(3)) administered orally is effective in ameliorating the symptoms of gastrointestinal upset, e.g., produced by the ingestion of aspirin and other pharmaceuticals, and of allergic reactions. Oral compositions containing a mixture of such a pharmaceutical and methylsulfonylmethane are useful in avoiding the gastrointestinal upset which otherwise occurs when ingesting the former. |
|
| 4,296,104 | The use of urea and/or ethanol with pharmaceutical compositions containing DMSO is disclosed. The result is a reduction in the undesirable side-effects normally associated with the application of DMSO compositions, enhancement of the desired physiological effects produced by DMSO compositions, and other benefits.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is useful as a tableting and granulating aid for pharmaceutically active agents, especially those which are unstable in the presence of moisture, mixtures therewith being or formable into free-flowing powders or granules which are readily compressible into tablets of improved properties. A preferred method of forming such powders or granules involves mixing the pharmaceutically active agent under substantially anhydrous conditions with molten MSM or with particulate solid MSM at its softening point, cooling the resultant mixture and, when the MSM was molten, forming the solidified melt into granules or a free flowing powder and thereafter, if desired, compressing the powder or granules into tablets. |

A method of pharmaceutically managing snoring is provided by the instillation intranasally of a solution containing 1-20% methylsulfonylmethane by weight dissolved in water so as to saturate the nasal mucous membranes. Preferably, the solution has between 10%-16% by weight methysulfonylmethane. The solution may be buffered, and/or a mild analgesic may be included. The method prefers that instillation occur as close to the sleep event as possible, and it should be at least within one hour before a person retires for sleep. The solution may be introduced by spray or drop-wise, and a product packaging the solution in a suitable container is described. |
