MSM
Powder: Arthritis, PMS and other Benefits of MSM-Page 3
1. MSM helps our bodies absorb more nutrients (vitamins and
minerals).
Co-enzyme Q10 locks with MSM, which means that in order for
the body to fully utilize this nutrient, it must have MSM(sulfur)
with it. Pantothenic acid, Vitamins A, D, and E, inter-enzymes,
amino acids, selenium, calcium, germanium, collagnol and dismuzyme
are just some of the things we know the body does not utilize
properly unless it has MSM to lock with. A lot of the vitamins
we take go through the body without being fully used. With
more MSM in the body, vitamins can be utilized more effectively
and therefore become much more beneficial.
There is a joke that Americans have the most expensive urine
in the world because of all the vitamins that go down the
drain. Vitamin C does a lot of healing by itself, but without
MSM to lock with, it doesn't toughen capillary walls. When
MSM is added to the diet and taken with Vitamin C, chronic
nosebleeds, easy bruising and varicose veins may be relieved.
Vitamin C and MSM work synergistically together. Every body
is different, so you would need to find what works for you,
but it is important when taking Vitamin C to make certain
it has the bioflavinoids with it because it is then a complete
food. Nature's vitamins (from fresh food) are the best because
they contain the whole complexes without which the body can't
do its job, which is to maintain and repair the bodily systems.
Without enough MSM, the body can't do its job properly.
2. MSM increases oxygen availability to the body.
There are people who have had emphysema, who used an atomizer
for breathing and could hardly get out of the chair to walk
across the room, who, after about a week of taking MSM, walked
a half mile, rested and then walked another half mile. Now
that is not because emphysema had been reversed, but because
the MSM detoxifies and increases the blood's circulation of
oxygen. MSM helps get oxygen into the blood a lot more efficiently
with the same amount of work.
3. MSM helps increase energy.
Energy levels increase with MSM because it helps make the
cell walls more permeable. Our cell walls get thicker and
more rigid with age; this tends to create a lessening of the
amount of nutrients and oxygen that can enter the cell through
the cell wall. Also, toxins which get stored in the cell get
trapped within the cells because of the lower permeability
of the cell wall. When MSM goes into the body the permeability
of the cell walls greatly increases, enhancing the absorbtion
of nutrients and oxygen and helping release the toxins which
were stuck in cells. When these toxins leave the body, it
helps to increase our energy.
A good example of this at work shows up in diabetics. When
their blood carries sugar to their cells, the sugar cannot
be absorbed due to the impermeability of the cell wall. Studies
show that when MSM goes into the body it causes the cell wall
to be more permeable again. The pancreas (which requires sulfur
to make insulin) normalizes because it doesn't work so hard--blood
sugar can now be absorbed through the cell walls, helping
to balance the blood sugar level. Because sulfur is a component
of insulin (the protein hormone secreted by the pancreas that
is essential to carbohydrate metabolism), a lack of nutritional
sulfur in the diet can result in low insulin production by
the pancreas. Thus, for the diabetic individual, MSM is extremely
helpful in improving their overall energy levels.
There have been reports of long term diabetics injecting insulin
daily for years, who have in five weeks to two months become
self-regulating and stopped having mood swings. The blood
sugar had stabilized. Studies suggest, in those with diabetes,
that the cell wall may be more leathery and thus the absorption
of sugar by the cells is greatly reduced.
4. MSM helps the body eliminate toxins including lactic
acid build-up from strenuous exercise.
Drinking plenty of water is very important for anyone wishing
to have good health. The fact that MSM detoxifies means that
you need to keep water moving into the body so that the toxins
can be eliminated without stressing other organs of the body,
such as the kidneys.
5. MSM helps to dramatically reduces recuperation time
from strenuous exercise and long hours of work.
6. MSM helps relieve muscular aches and pains.
7. MSM helps reduce inflammation due to injury or inflammatory
diseases such as arthritis.
When the water pressure inside a cell is greater than the
water pressure on the outside of the cell, there is inflammation
and swelling. (The outer and intercellular fluid pressures
are not equal.) MSM enhances the permeability of the cell
walls, therefore allowing the pressure on both sides of the
wall to equalize, thus relieving the inflammation. MSM takes
inflammation out of soft tissue and since pain comes from
nerves in inflamed soft tissue, there is often relief from
the pain of such inflammatory ailments as arthritis, bursitis,
rheumatism and hip dysplasia. MSM can help get the flexibility
back into the tissues very rapidly. Some people have experienced
relief in only 20 minutes! For others, it takes longer.
8. MSM, together with Vitamin C (a free radical scavenger)
helps the body build healthy new cells.
9. MSM, along with Vitamin C, helps reduce scar tissue
and wrinkles, and helps keep the skin more elastic.
10. MSM, along with Vitamin C, helps the hair and nails
grow stronger and faster.
11. MSM has been shown to improve mental alertness.
12. MSM has been proven to help in the reduction and even
the total elimination of allergies.
When MSM is added to the diet, anti-allergy medication may
be sharply reduced or eliminated.
13. MSM reduces headaches, cramps and muscle pain caused
by hormonal imbalances, for example, PMS.
Women who have had monthly menstruation problems often no
longer experience the headaches, cramps or muscle plain associated
with their periods. Many women have these problems because
their hormones are out of balance. The monthly cycle can be
a shock to the system. When the hormones are brought into
balance, the body functions normally and these painful problems
can be vastly reduced or eliminated.
14. MSM helps relieve constipation.
MSM can help control chronic constipation. Many older people
seem to have this problem and it can be a real medical concern.
Reportedly many people suffering from constipation have had
prompt and continuing relief by supplementing their diet with
MSM. A good amount of Vitamin C along with the MSM has proven
to be helpful for this condition.
15. MSM has been shown to help reduce and even eliminate snoring.
16. MSM helps reduces eye membrane irritation (when MSM
in a water solution is applied).
MSM is the 4th most plentiful mineral in the body, and so
essential to life that it is found in every cell of virtually
every animal and plant.
