MSM appears to be another natural substance promising substantial benefits, such as relief from pain, inflammation and allergies, for those who take it as a nutritional supplement. William Regelson MD, Professor of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia

MSM (methylsulphonylmethane) is naturally present in food and the human body. It is a source of biologically active sulphur, a mineral element critical to the normal function and structure of the body.

Sulphur is a raw material for protein and connective tissues that make up body mass, enzymes that conduct countless
chemical reactions and powerful natural compounds that protect us against toxicity and harmful oxidative stress.

MSM is the oxidized form of DMSO, which has been approved by the FDA since 1978 for use with interstitial cystitis, a painful inflammatory condition of the bladder.

Pain and Inflammation

The actions and benefits of MSM were presented at the New York Academy of Science in 1982. With the explosion of interest in alternative medicine and natural remedies and the recent publication of the book The Miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain, MSM is rapidly establishing a reputation for providing natural assistance for many conditions.

MSM may:

- Inhibit pain impulses along nerve fibre

- Modulate factors that may promote inflammation

- Increase blood flow

- Reduce muscle spasm

- Soften scar tissue

- Help normalise general functions as observed in some auto-immune diseases where the body's immune system becomes deranged and starts to attack its own tissue (such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis).

The effectiveness of MSM in pain relief for some people may allow the dosage of prescribed medication to be reduced.

About Asthma, Allergies and Sinusitis

Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the bronchial tubes. The airways become inflamed and spasm, excessive amounts of mucous develop and muscles surrounding the airways become constricted.

Many chronic cases of sinus infections are allergic in nature. Food, dust,
moulds, pollen and chemicals can inflame the sinus tissue.

MSM may provide relief from allergic symptoms and reduce the requirement for bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory drugs.

I have been recommending MSM to my customers for many years after reading the book The Miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain.

I have been suggesting the use MSM to people who could not tolerate the side effects of anti-inflammatories or afford anti-inflammatories that are available but not funded. Over the years the feedback has been amazing and that is one of the reasons I keep recommending MSM.

MSM is not something you take when you have a headache, it is something that you take regularly to help reduce pain. For some it can take several weeks to get relieve, but for others they comment that they feel some relief within days. The dose used to get pain relieve varies between people and the severity of their pain.

I start by recommending 2 capsules  twice daily and increase the dose every 2 to 3 days until relief is reached and then maintain on the lowest dose possible to maintain relief. The dose can be increased to a maximum of 10 capsules twice daily.

Stomach irritation is rare, but if sensitive then take after food.

Do not take MSM with warfarin.
