Sulfur, in its organic forms, is one of
the most important elements to life and vision. It functions as
a critical part of glutathione in Glutathione peroxidase, on the
front line of body�s the antioxidant system. It is a component of
many other enzymes, including the enzyme that pumps excess fluid
out of the crystalline lens, maintaining the clarity of the lens.
This is like the difference between a clear (pure) quartz crystal
and a milky quartz crystal, with the only difference being the presence
of a tiny amount of water or other impurity to disrupt the crystal
lattice structure. Sulfur is crucial in detoxification processes
in the liver and also for elimination of Mercury, a common trigger
of cataracts. This is because mercury binds to sulfur present in
the proteins of the lens. Because the lens is the most dense protein
in the entire body, mercury resides there longer after exposure
than in any other tissue. Sulfur, along with vitamin C, is also
an integral part of all connective tissues, and can thus affect
the structural integrity and healing capacity of every part of the
eye.
Several forms of organic sulfur are extremely
beneficial for supplementation. One very beneficial form of organic
sulfur is N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) which is the preferred form to
supplement cysteine, the sulfur bearing amino acid needed in the
body to make glutathione (a tripeptide made from 3 amino acids).
Glutathione has been linked to lens health since the early 1900�s,
and NAC can dramatically boost the body�s levels. Intravenous injection
of glutathione itself have improved lens clarity in 30 percent of
the study subjects. We recommend a daily dose of 50 mg of pre-formed
glutathione and at least 500-1000 mg of NAC per day. The other amino
acids that are used to make glutathione, L-glutamine and L-glycine,
can each be supplemented at levels of 200 mg or more per day, as
well.
Another form of organic sulfur is Methyl
sulfonyl methane (MSM). This pure crystalline powder can be added
to water or other drinks at a dose of 1/2 tsp per 100 pounds of
body weight twice a day. MSM is nature�s way of completing the sulfur
cycle, as it comes from the ocean and is deposited in rainwater
on land. Plants concentrate it over 100 times from ground water,
and then animals get it from the plants. However, because it is
rapidly lost in cooking, processing and storage, much of our food
supply today is radically depleted in this form of sulfur. Being
a water soluble substance any amount that is not used in the body
immediately is quickly washed out, so it must be supplied on a regular
basis in the diet.
MSM is also called dimethylsulfone, and is
a naturally ocurring organic Sulfur nutrient and dietary derivative
of DMSO which the body needs to enhance cell restoration and its
ability to resist allergies and parasites. It is exceptionally well
tolerated, hypoallergenic, and odor-free.
DMSO is a "folk remedy" which has been around for over
20 years, and has been widely used as an effective treatment for
reduce arthritis pain and improve skin softness. After extensive
testing on both animals and humans, it was awarded Patent rights
(# 4,616,039) in the seventies.
Background
MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in the fluid and tissues
of all living organisms. It is present in a variety of foods, including
most fresh raw fruit and vegetables, milk, meat, seafood and some
grains. However, MSM is easily lost during moderate food processing.
Cooking, drying, smoking pickling and long term storage of can deplete
the MSM content of food. It is unlikely that sufficient MSM is ingested
into the system to contribute to the bodies nutritional sulfur requirement.
If freshly picked or killed food high in MSM were eaten immediately
without undue cooking, our bodies would get the MSM it needs daily
as it is not stored in the body. Because it is not stored, it needs
to be replenished daily. It is impossible to over-dose with this
substance, as what is
not needed by the body is secreted through the skin in an odorless
form. The safety level of MSM is similar to that of water. No toxic
effects were found in human volunteers taking up to 1 gram per kilogram
of body weight for 30 days. Another study at the Oregon Health Sciences
University showed no toxic effects even after 6 months. Over 12,000
patients have been treated with MSM at Oregon Health Sciences University.
No allergic reactions or serious toxicity symptoms have ever been
reported.
How it works
MSM is an important binder of soft tissues in the body - the thread
which gives
strength and texture to the fabric. It is also needed to build enzymes
and immunoglobins. According to the US Patent, too low a concentration
of MSM in the body results in adverse physical and psychological
stress, tissue and organ malfunction, fatigue and increased susceptibility
to diseases. MSM levels start to fall as we age. MSM has been proven
to work better in conjunction with Vitamin C.
Research has shown that, when available to it in sufficient levels,
MSM appears
to coat all the mucus membranes of the body, creating a shield through
which:
Air-borne allergy-causing contaminants such as household dust (mites),
pollens etc. are prevented from entering the tissue of the lungs
and nasal passages, thus reducing the effects of hayfever and asthma.
Industrial contaminants such as exhaust gasses, solvents etc. are
also hindered.
Parasites, such as Cryptosporidium, giaidia, salmonella, even hookworms
are snagged before entering the stomach and intestines. This coating
also provides a hostile living environment for these unwanted low-life!
Who will benefit?
All of us! It is estimated that 80% of the American population plays
unknowing
host to parasites. (Yes! Its no longer a Third World problem any
more! Outbreaks of salmonella and water borne parasitic infestations
are commonplace
in cities big and small!)
Allergies and asthma effect a huge and growing proportion of the
population
notwithstanding the improvement in air quality. Drug stores are
lined with magic allergy "cures" which can do no more
that alleviate the symptoms, and often have side effects as bad
as the allergy itself.
Because of the tissue binding properties, skin is rendered softer,
collagen
increased, injuries heal quicker and the mucus membranes are allowed
to strengthen, as their bombardment by irritants is reduced.
MSM Uses
MSM is an important part of the amino acid chain. Radioisotope studies
using S35 have shown that the sulfur atom in MSM is used by the
body to manufacture the essential sulfur-bearing amino acids cystine
and methionine. Without the presence of the proper amount of MSM
in our body, other amino acids will continue to build up in the
glands, but fail to produce complete enzymes. Consequentially, we
may be prone to unnecessary illness.
As reported in The Journal of the New York Academy of Sciences.
The Department of Surgery, Oregon Health Sciences University reports:
The following abnormal conditions seen in the clinic have responded
to oral MSM generally administered at dosage levels of 250-270 mg/day:
1. Response to allergy: Oral MSM moderates diverse allergic responses
to pollen and foods. Anti-allergy medication and desensitization
methods may be sharply reduced.
2. Control of constipation: Chronic constipation is a very common
problem in America. In one clinic, over 50 subjects presenting with
chronic constipation gained prompt and continuing relief by supplementing
the diet with 100 to 500 mg of MSM per day.
3. We have seen some individuals with severely restricted lung function.
Limited objective and strong subjective evidence suggests that MSM
is a useful dietary supplement to reduce lung dysfunction.
4. Hyperacidity is relieved, allowing many to eliminate the use
of antacids and/or histamine receptor antagonists (anti-histamines).
5. MSM is extremely helpful in Mercury detoxification, as Mercury
has a special affinity to bind to sulfur.
6. Snoring. MSM is actually patented as an effective treatment for
snoring. Significant reduction in snoring was achieved in just one
to four days by 80% of patients studied. Treatment consisted of
a 16% solution of MSM administered to each nostril 15 minutes before
sleep. When saline was substituted for MSM in a group of 8 patients
without their knowledge, 7 out of 8 resumed their loud snoring pattern
within 24 hours, and again experienced relief on restoration of
the MSM therapy.
7. Animal studies show MSM to have a protective effect against Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) both before and after the onset of the
disease. Mice fed 3% MSM in their water from early in life showed
less liver damage and lower death rates. While 30% of the control
group died in 7 months, all of those given MSM were still alive.
When MSM was given to animals already suffering with advanced lupus,
most (62%) survived an additional 9 months, while 86% of those without
MSM died.
8. Oral MSM supplementation is effective against the onset of breast
cancer, according to animal research done at The Ohio State University
(TOSU) College of Medicine. Rats fed MSM for a period of just 8
days prior to exposure to a chemical carcinogen developed their
first tumors 100 days later than controls (equivalent to 10 human
years). Also the tumors first became cancerous 130 days later than
controls (13 years equivalent), showing that even brief supplementation
prior to toxin exposure can greatly slow the resulting degenerative
process that results.
9. TOSU Medical College also studied colon cancer in animals. Supplementation
with 1% MSM in drinking water, beginning a week before exposure
to a carcinogen, again greatly delayed the formation of tumors.
10. In an animal model of Rheumatoid Arthritis, researchers at Oregon
Health Sciences University, a 3% solution of MSM given as drinking
water provided complete protection against degeneration of articular
cartilage. 50% of animals in the control group without MSM suffered
from focal degenerative lesions.
11. Bodybuilders--try taking 1tsp. before working out and 1 tsp.
afterwards. Muscles will not be sore due to MSM's ability to remove
lactic acid build-up. MSM is given to race horses after races to
prevent sore muscles--why not us?
MSM Chemistry
The chemical formula for MSM is (CH3)2SO2. MSM is found in all fresh
foods: fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products. MSM is highly
volatile so we lose most of this absolutely important mineral by
heating, drying, and processing our food.
Water, salt, and sulfur are the three major components in your body.
Unless your diet is composed primarily of raw foods, it is unlikely
that you are receiving enough MSM to maintain optimum health.
Organic sulfur forms the flexible bond between proteins. When the
old cell dies and the new cell forms, the new cell attaches but
becomes rigid if there is not enough MSM in your body. Your body
requires a constant nutritional sulfur supply to build the healthy,
flexible cells needed for proper organ and glandular functioning
and for beautiful, soft skin.
Vitamins and amino acids work with MSM to create good, healthy cells.
Vitamin C is especially essential. When you create a new molecule
of flesh, you destroy Vitamin C. When your body repairs itself,
it needs Vitamin C.
We recommend that you take equal amounts of MSM and Vitamin C to
see immediate results.
Some benefits of using MSM are: reduction of pain by reducing muscle
inflammation and flushing out lactic acid; reduces wrinkles, cracking
skin, scar tissue, hardening of arteries, and emphysema; controls
headaches, cramps and hot flashes; increases blood circulation;
controls allergic responses to pollen and foods; controls stomach
acidity and reduces ulcers; controls hyper-sensitivity to drugs;
alleviates constipation and parasite problems; facilitates carbohydrate
metabolism; controls Candida; reduces arthritis symptoms; relieves
asthma; makes hair and nails grow faster and stronger; and controls
Alzheimer's disease.
MSM Lotion
MSM lotion is made of all natural products including MSM, Vitamins
A, D & E, Grapefruit seed extract, lichen moss, Almonds, Apricots,
Aloe Vera, Calendula, and Melaleuca (tea tree oil). Almonds, Apricots
and Aloe Vera soften and moisten your skin without a greasy film.
Calendula and melaleuca kill fungus around fingernails, as well
as athletes foot and ringworm. MSM lotion eliminates the inflammation
of carpal tunnel, dissolves scar tissue and stretch marks, surface
blemishes, brown spots, skin tumors, and warts; prevents blistering,
and almost immediately takes the sting out of burns.
MSM lotion concentrates natural sulfur in places where the body
needs special attention. It is ideal for skin care maintenance and
brings softness and elasticity to the skin.
MSM Eye Drops
Eye drops soften the membranes, allowing fluids to pass through
the optical tissues. When optical membranes become permeable, nutrition
is able to penetrate through the optical tissues and provide the
nutrients needed for healing.
When the membranes become tough like leather, the fluids are trapped,
and particles start to build up. If the build up continues, it is
as if you are looking through frosted glass, a condition known as
cataracts. This can cause a pressure drop across the membrane. The
inside pressure of the eye causes the eye to inflate, a condition
known as glaucoma. When MSM eye drops are applied, the membrane
becomes permeable and reverses these problems.
The eye should also be flexible so the muscles can change the contour
and focus. When the eye membranes and muscles become tough, the
eye is unable to focus properly and vision becomes blurred.
MSM softens tough, leathery tissue, equalizes pressures, repairs
damaged membranes, clears up red spots and broken blood vessels,
and helps remove floaters and other eye particles.
The Bodys 3rd Largest Ingredient
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is not a medicine, a drug, or a food
additive. It is a food, and comes as a pure white sulfur powder.
It comes from the ocean and is watersoluble. Sulfonyl sulfur is
found in plants, meats, dairy products, and vegetation. Broccoli
shows high concentrations of MSM in its natural raw state. During
normal preparation of food, we lose most of MSM because it goes
with the moisture, such as washing, drying, steaming. It is the
3rd largest ingredient found in your body. Youre made up of
water, salt, and MSM. The vitamin-people missed it, there was so
little in their samples-they never thought it was important. They
found a lot of sulfa; we put in wounds to burn and cauterize, sulfites;
they put in corn flakes so the bugs won't eat them, and sulfates;
they put it in sausages. We may be allergic to sulfa's, sulfides,
and sulfates which are the sulfur family. Sulfonyl is also in the
sulfur family, but it is nutritional, and you can't be allergic
to it, you need it, because the body cant function without
organic sulfur.
One leading atmospheric chemist calculates that MSM and its cousins,
DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) and DMS (dimethylsulfide) provide 85% of
all sulfur in living systems. The sulfur is recycled through the
ocean, where microscopic plankton release dimethylsulfonium salts.
These quickly change into volatile DMS (Dimethylsulfide), which
evaporates and rises to the upper atmosphere. There, ultraviolet
light and ozone convert it into DMSO and MSM. In contrast to DMS,
both DMSO & MSM are water soluble, so they are cycled back to
the earths surface as a component of rain drops. Once in the
ground water, plants quickly soak up these valuable sulfur-bearing
molecules, concentrating them up to 100 times over the levels in
the soil. Plants then use this organic sulfur, incorporating it
into their own structures and enzymes. After passing through the
food chain, MSM that escapes the biological domain once again returns
in runoff to the ocean to begin another cycle in the grand scheme.
The body uses MSM to create new good healthy cells. Vitamins and
amino acids work with MSM during this process. Without proper levels
of MSM, our bodies are unable to build good healthy cells and this
leads to illness. To maintain good health, we need good flexible,
healthy cells. Illness is the result and consequence of a body deficient
of materials needed to repair damaged tissue and organs. We need
to supplement our diets with MSM to provide the body with the proper
building materials to maintain a healthy body.
Our bodies produce new cells 24 hours a day. If our body doesn't
receive the proper nutrition and the building materials it needs,
it will produce bad, disfunctional cells, deficient of the basic
ingredients that constitute a healthy cell. If we want a good flexible
cell, capable of maintaining good health, we need to supplement
our diets with MSM, to enable the body to heal itself.
If you've ever had a canker sore it's because you lack something
in your diet, possibly vitamin A or C. It tries to heal itself,
but with deficient materials, it draws from other resources, and
usually takes what it needs from the inside skin of our mouths.
It takes what it needs and leaves a sore on the inside of the mouth.
If we give the body what it needs to heal itself, it will repair
the sore in the mouth and the skin will become healthy again.
You cannot overdose with MSM. The body will use what it needs, and
after twelve hours, will flush any access amounts out of the body.
If you want to maintain good healthy cells 24 hours a day, it is
suggested you take MSM in the morning and evening. The MSM will
flush what the body doesn't retain semi-permently every twelve hours,
and because it is a free radical and foreign protein scavanger.
MSM cleans the blood stream, so allergies to food and pollens go
away in about 3 or 4 days.
The only side effects are stronger fingernails, toe nails, and your
hair grows faster because you have more sulfur in your finger nails
and hair than any other cells of your body.
The body knows what it needs better than any doctor. It will use
MSM where ever it is needed in the system. What if your body is
experiencing more than one problem? Give the body extra MSM so it
can provide more nutrition and heal itself.
Dust Mites are a major cause of respiratory allergies!
Allergic diseases are a major health problem in the United States
affecting more than 35 million Americans. A recent survey found
that 24% of all allergic individuals between the ages of 6 and 19
skin tested positive for dust mites. These individuals may suffer
diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis.
The relationship between house dust mites and allergy symptoms were
not clear until R. Voorhorst and coworkers (1964) demonstrated that
dust mites were the major cause of asthma, and there was a good
correlation between the allergenicity of house dust and dust mites
levels.
Biology of Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscopic organisms, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mm
in length. Therefore, they are not easily seen with the naked eye.
Unlike insects, dust mites have eight legs without distinct segments.
The head, thorax, and abdomen are all fused into one body. The two
most commonly found house dust mites in the United States are Dermatophagoides
pteronyssinus Trouessart (also known as the European dust mite)
and D. farinae Hughes (also known as the American dust mite).
The genus name Dermatophagoides was derived from "skin-eating";
derma meaning "skin" and phago, "to eat". The
primary food source of these mites appears to be skin scales and/or
fungi growing on skin scales. An average American sheds about 12
grams of skin scales each day. For these reasons, house dust mites
are frequently found in "high use areas"; such as carpets,
mattresses, and overstuffed furniture in domestic housing, and in
carpets, upholstered chairs and fabric panels in office buildings.
These fleecy surfaces are good reservoirs and breeding grounds for
dust mites.
Dust Mite Allergens
Dust mite allergens are proteins which are present in particles
greater than 10 micrometers (µm) in diameter. These particles
are associated with the bodies and feces of dust mites. Particles
of this size can easily settle on carpets and soft furnishings in
homes and offices. They become airborne only when domestic activity
occurs, such as bed-making and vacuuming with a conventional upright
vacuum cleaner. When inhaled, these particles usually deposit on
the mucosa of nose and oralpharynx and can trigger upper respiratory
allergic symptoms.
Office Buildings
Many office buildings contain carpets, upholstered chairs, and fabric
panels which collect dust and provide a good breeding ground for
dust mites. These buildings often have central heating, ventilating,
and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems that directly and indirectly
affect the house dust mite population and its allergens. For example,
HVAC systems maintain building temperatures between 63 F and 78
F, which are suitable for dust mite growth. A reduction in ventilation
for energy conservation increases indoor humidity in some cases,
which enhances dust mite growth. Air-conditioning in office buildings
reduces humidity, which discourages dust mite growth. Air ventilation
redistributes the settled dust reservoirs that may contain dust
mite allergens. A recent study found that moderate to high levels
of dust mite allergens were detected from carpets and upholstered
chairs in office buildings.
Testimonials
Back in 1970, I was in an auto accident. The seat belt would not
release and the engine caught on fire, trapping me in the car and
cooking me for twenty minutes. I was charcoal from my arm pit down
to below my knee. For seventeen years, I cried at night trying to
sleep because the scarred tissue and adhesions hurt so much. The
pain would not allow me walk more than one block a day without hurting
real bad.
Eleven years ago a veterinarian introduced me to the nurtitional
sulfur (MSM). Three days later I could out-march my troops; I'm
a 60 year-old sergeant in the Oregon State Defense Force. Later
I got reports that the apricot lotion with MSM made scar tissue
go away, so I rubbed it into my burn area. That entire portion of
my body was flat, purple in color, and was covered by 65 feet of
grafting marks. By using the lotion, I was able to concentrate the
lotion in the areas that weren't getting enough. The collagen grew
in along with new blood vessels and I turned round in shape, pink
in color, and now I am down to from 65 feet of grafting marks to
about 3 inches, and those have nearly faded out.
...B.R., Portland
Just a couple of minutes after taking MSM for the first time, my
son Ryan ran back to me to say,"Mom, my shoulder pain is gone."
I had been massaging him daily because his right shoulder had been
knotted and overdeveloped from bowling. It's now soft, flexible,
and pain-free.
...N.M., Los Angeles
I had carpal Tunnel in my wrists. I heard that the Apricot Lotion
with MSM possibly could cure it. By rubbing the lotion right on
to my wrists, it gave me the fastest results. In two weeks my carpal
tunnel was gone and I didn't have to have surgery. The MSM saved
me from a lot of pain and trouble.
...R. Bell, St. Petersburg, Florida
"Allergies"
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.
"Alzheimer's Disease"
My name is George Weir and I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife is
72 years old and for the last 6 years I could not communicate with
her. She would get lost going from room to room and would forget
why she was going there. I cooked, washed, bathed and put her to
bed every day for 6 years. I gave her gave her 7 MSM twice a day
for two weeks. I had her soak in a tub with warm water and 3/4 cup
of Clorox for 20 minutes twice a week. It leeched the aluminum out
of her system. In two weeks, she was up cleaning the house, communicating
clearly and going shopping. We are now living again thanks to MSM
- It really works! Here's how itworks: The brain is made up of billions
of nerve cells, intricately connected with each other like electrons
in a electrical circuit. When you think - you send electrical impulses
throughout your brain. Alzheimer's disease is a condition where
the brain is coated with aluminum, causing it to short circuit and
sends brain impulses to the wrong synapse creating confusion. MSM
opens the membrane that contains the aluminum, and allows the unwanted
deposits to be flushed into the blood stream. The hot bath with
Clorox makes the body sweat and release the aluminum. Then
the Clorox leeches it right off your body.
"P.M.S."
Here's how it works: MSM helps the glands maintain a normal level
of production. The normal level ofenzymes, acids, and hormones,
allows the body to go in and out of the cycle smoothly eliminating
thecramps, headaches and nausea that come with the monthly cycle.
"Muscle Soreness and Lactic Acid"
Here's how it works: The MSM disallows the crystallization and build
up of lactic acid. The MSM flushesthe lactic acid out, along with
all the other bad toxins in your system. By taking large amounts
of MSM,more toxins that cause soreness are flushed out of your system.
"Hypoglycemia"
Here's how it works: The cells in the body have become rigid and
non-permeable. Their is too muchinsulin carrying blood sugars to
your cells. The blood sugars do not get used because the cell walls
are notpermeable and the cells do not absorb the blood sugar. Their
is more insulin than blood sugars in the blood stream, so the body
believes it needs more sugars and it does. You then have low blood
sugars andhave a low or bad mood swing. By taking MSM regularly
your cells become permeable. The blood sugarsare now being absorb
by the cells and the body becomes healthier. After a few months
on MSM thepancreas should be producing insulin at a normal rate.
"20 Minute Hangover"
Here's how it works: When you drink alcohol it gets into your cells
and is trapped disallowing oxygen to get in. The cells die of oxygen
starvation, causing you to feel ill. MSM makes the cell walls permeable
so that the alcohol can be flushed out, along with other toxins,
and oxygen can get in. Your body will begin to feel better and the
hangover will be gone in a very short time (approximately 20 minutes).
"Chronic Headaches"
My name is Dr. JoAnn Cain and I live in Santa Monica, California.
Once a week I either had a headacheor was continuously building
up to or recovering from a headache. I started taking MSM twice
daily and have done so for the past six months. I have not had a
headache since I started.
Here's how it works: MSM helps to make the cell walls more permeable
which increases circulation. By increasing circulation there is
less build up of pressure and in effect less pain. Taking the MSM
regularly will help maintain good circulation and low pressure.
MSM for Pets!
MSM helps animals too! Animals who do not eat fresh foods crave
organic sulfur. Rub the lotion on dogs that are losing their hair
and licking and bleeding from skin problems. Sensitivity to fleas
is a natural sulfur deficiency. Flea lotion also helps kill ear
mites. The Flea Flea products are excellent for the control of fleas
on your pets and in your home, and are available in soap, shampoo,
and spray form. The kennel spray can be used to kill fleas, flea
eggs, and larvae in your carpets. Spray it around your house and
on plants to kill aphids, spiders, ants, bugs and cockroaches.
Horses cough blood out of their noses when they race because they
breathe so hard their lungs rupture. With MSM and Vitamin C, they
can breathe freely with stronger lungs and increased oxygen intake,
and their lungs do not rupture.
