The Spider Research Project

Two different forms of MSM are being investigated in this Research Project.  One of these, the first one to be tested, is "regular MSM."  This is pure MSM -- 99.5% pure MSM, with an additional 0.5% moisture. The purity is established by the world's largest independent testing laboratory -- SGS.

The other form of MSM is "activated" by a proprietary process, with characteristics that make it specific for treating spider bites.  The first is referred to, simply, as MSM, while the "activated MSM" is referred to as "MSM-SP."  MSM-SP is not intended for insect bites, only spider bites.  However, it will work on any type of spider bite.

The protocol for both of these forms of MSM is similar.

Both MSM and MSM-SP should be administered both internally and externally.

The MSM-SP will be many times faster than MSM.  MSM-SP will impart immunity for the patient for a period of about a month (or longer)  even after the cure and stoppage of the intake.  MSM has to be in the body's system daily to impart this immunity.

If the bite is very recent, as within minutes or hours, the results can be extremely quick as the toxins will be removed before they have much chance to cause damage.  MSM or MSM-SP taken prior to a bite will act as a preventive of the most severe symptoms, but after such a bite, this protocol should still be followed.

If you are not sure of what type of spider, or even whether it WAS a spider, this protocol will NOT be inappropriate -- in most cases this protocol will work for any type of spider bite.  While traditional treatment urges you to spend time trying to catch or kill the spider, so a doctor can know what type of spider it was, that is not at all critical with this protocol --- it would be far more important to administer this MSM treatment than to spend time trying to catch the spider.

However, the protocol also works even months after a bite, even with open ulcers, blisters and even with satellite break-outs of ulcers.

The protocol is the same in all these cases, except that results will come more quickly the closer the treatment is used to the time of the bite.  Also, results are expected to be much quicker with the MSM-SP form.

For animals, or children, the only change in the protocol is based on body weight -- lesser weights mean lower amounts of MSM.

Place of bite does not have  any bearing on the toxicity.  Everything gets into the blood after all...!!!  But the ulcers appear first close to the bite.  Treatment is the same for all locations of the bite.

Internal Usage

The regular MSM should be mixed with boiled, or distilled, water, cooled to room temperature.  In a tumbler holding about 100 ml, dissolve one tablespoon (about 15 grams) of the MSM.  The amount which will dissolve is partly dependent on the temperature of the water.  Water will hold as much as 30% to 35% of its own weight in dissolved MSM, but it will start to crystallize if you get too much for the temperature of the water.

Regular MSM can be mixed and dissolved with warm water while MSM-SP must be mixed and dissolved in cool water.

For regular MSM we use room temperature water.  You could dissolve MORE MSM in hot water, but as it cools, the extra MSM is likely to crystallize and not be used.  [One liter is close to an American "quart" and thus 100 ml is about 10% of a quart, or a "small tumbler."]  You do not drink all of this water at any one time -- this is just a convenient quantity for mixing.

When you are drinking the regular MSM, in water, you will normally have a warm or room temperature liquid.  Then you are drinking MSM-SP, it need not be cold, but should be cool.

In either case you can put as much MSM into the liquid as it will dissolve.  A bit too much is not a problem, just a possible waste to crystallization.  Too little would not be a problem, but you start getting less results with less MSM.

There would be no level of MSM which would be "too high" other than because of any excess crystallizing.  MSM is non toxic.  If you were to take it in a dry powder form, you could safely take 50 or more grams per day.  As long as the amount of MSM is "close" to the above, you will have results.  An exact dosage is not critical.

While most people find that MSM does NOT have a pleasant taste, nonetheless, this MSM-Water or MSM-SP Water mixture should be sipped slowly so that the liquid has a chance to be absorbed through the tissues of the mouth.  Most people describe the MSM taste as "metallic" or "puckering."  Generally the taste disappears within a few seconds after taking it. 

You can sip this mixture slowly, and when done drinking, after a few minutes take plain water to rinse out the mouth if you wish.

For Plain MSM, the taste can be altered to make it more pleasant.  However, the only way to change that taste is with an additive.  For most purposes the additive would not detract from the effectiveness of the MSM.  However, when it comes to treating spider bites we think no additives should be involved -- just plain MSM.  So, beware a form of MSM that "tastes good."

The MSM-SP, however, CANNOT have any additives.  The special form and processes involved with MSM-SP rule out any additive -- or the entire nature of the MSM-SP would be altered to a form of plain MSM.

As far as drinking the water with MSM or MSM-SP in it, the plain MSM will require drinking about twice as much as the water with MSM-SP.

Sip the water slowly tasting it, without gulping the water down the throat. This process should be repeated between 3 to 9 times in a day (depending upon the severity of the symptoms) during the crisis period, i.e.. immediately after the bite, for a day or two.  Once the detoxification is evident (see below for evidence of change), the dosage can be reduced to 2 times a day for a week and then stopped altogether.   

At the highest dosage, a person would be drinking (sipping) as much as a full quart, in 9 times, and thus with a total of as much as 135 grams of MSM that day.  MSM is a water soluble substance and does not "store" in the body -- it needs to be taken spread out all through the day, and daily.  Each dose (each "sipping") should be at least 10 grams and not more than 20 grams of MSM, and half that amount for MSM-SP.

Another way of looking at this is that you should take the MSM for all bites, whether very recent, or years ago, and expect to experience signs of detoxification.  Continue taking the MSM-Water combination until detoxification has been achieved.

Topically applied

The protocol for MSM and MSM-SP are the same for external application.

For topical application, take boiled and cooled water and add 50% by weight of pure Ethyl alcohol (Ethanol) and then add as much of MSM or MSM-SP as possible and dissolve to the saturation level.  If you have liquid (water and alcohol mixture) weighing 300 grams, you would want to add, probably, about 50 grams of dry-weight MSM.  Saturation will probably be achieved at about this 20% level.  Beyond that it will not dissolve more.

MSM will not dissolve in alcohol -- only in the water portion of the liquid.  So, only about half as much MSM can be dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and water as in an all-water situation.

In an emergency situation, if Ethyl alcohol is not available, use whiskey or brandy with the least amount of flavoring.

Then soak the cotton in that water-alcohol mixture and apply it directly on and over ulcers and blisters, or areas of inflammation as a bandage. Change this bandage twice a day. The ulcer should also be exposed to the air for about two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. This is needed for oxygenation for cure with minimum scar.

If immediately administered... MSM-SP will act within minutes and reverse the process.  If administered within hours .. it will act in days...if administered within days it will act in weeks...and so on....

By comparison the MSM will be very slow.  But will definitely slow down or arrest the worsening of the condition.

No difference with or without the ulcers.  Ulcers or more patient specific than poison specific.  Some victims (rarely) may not develop ulcers at all, but may have more acute other symptoms....mental or physical.

Alcohol can irritate the eye though may not damage.  It needs care in application.  Near the eye,  no bandage...just apply....but repeatedly several times a day.

MSM is good for the eye...no problem.  It is the alcohol you have to watch.

What to look for: signs of change?

All the symptoms exhibited at the time of the bite and subsequently developed later will start slowly receding, both mentally and physically. The patient will exhibit a lot less fear and agony.  He will be peaceful and clear in his mind and will attend to his work normally.  These are the results to be expected with MSM-SP.  With "plain" MSM, the results should be similar, but slower and less consistent from patient to patient.  The MSM-SP has proven to be 100% effective in clinical trials.

There are many different types of manifestations of detoxification leading to healing.  Throw-up is only one of them.  Rash is another of them.  Boils, carbuncles etc. is another of them.  Vomiting and purging are others of them.  Pus pouring out of one or more  apertures is another of them.  General aggravation of all the disease symptoms is one form.

Detoxification is very individual to the patient  It all depend upon the extent to which a person is affected.  Some suffer acute conditions and then get cured.  But some carry it forward and get chronic with symptoms.... that do not look similar to that of venom ... but different.  This needs a careful observer (qualified or knowledgeable) to diagnose and detect and treat.

But there is one form in which all the diseased conditions and sufferance simply subside, slowly withdraw and finally vanish....luckily for some ....permanently never to return.  They grow immune for life and will not require any more medical help for that condition and cause.  This last form of healing is very common with MSM-SP, but not common with plain MSM.

MSM as a Preventive

MSM and MSM-SP are very useful as a preventive to the harmful effects of spider bite.  If you are using MSM, then you would need to take that every day -- taking about 10 to 20 grams, dissolved in water, before going to bed at night.

If you are using MSM-SP you will need to take it only twice a week, at night before going to bed, and at least two hours after the last meal.  Also, there should be no smoking or brushing of the teeth for at least two hours prior to taking MSM-SP.
