MSM - Optimal Health - a New Discovery

MSM: An Essential Dietary Sulfur!
MSM was first isolated by Robert Herschler, working for Crown Zellerbach in Portland, Oregon. Both he and Dr. Stanley Jacob of the University of Oregon Medical School, have done extensive research and testing on this exciting substance.

MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is a natural, organic sulfur compound, found in all living things. This form of organic sulfur is the forth most prevalent mineral in the human body. In his research, Dr. Jacob determined that the sulfur in MSM, called sulfonyl, is as safe and as important as vitamin C in our diet, unlike the bad sulfurs: sulfa, sulfate, sulfite and sulfide.
Sulfur a Major Key to Health: MSM comes from the ocean and is a prime source of bio-available sulfur, which is lost from our food because of storage, processing, drying, cooking and preserving. MSM is an important food (not a drug or medicine) and plays many roles in the body, including the stimulation of the growth of healthy skin, hair and nails. It is needed by the body for healthy connective tissues and joint function, proper enzyme activity and hormone balance, along with the proper function of the immune system.

Because bio-nutritional sulfur plays such a major role in these healthy body functions and others, Doctors Herschler and Jacob found that supplementation with MSM can improve many conditions such as: allergies, asthma, emphysema, lung disfunction, arthritis, head aches, skin problems, stomach problems, digestive tract problems, circulation, cell osmosis and absorption.
What MSM Does: MSM makes cell walls permeable, allowing water and nutrients to freely flow into cells and allowing wastes and toxins to properly flow out. The building blocks of the body, amino acids, are all sulfur binders and play a major role in the production of hormones and enzymes which regulate the body's activities.

MSM and vitamin C are used by the body together to build healthy new cells. MSM provides the flexible bond between the cells. Without MSM, the new cell is not permeable, and osmosis is hampered. These cells lose their flexibility, like scar tissue, wrinkles, varicose veins, hardened arteries or the damaged lung tissues of a person with emphysema.

Conditions Aggravated by MSM Deficiency:
1.Allergies 2. Sore Joints and Muscles 3.Chronic Fatigue 4.Elevated Cholesterol 5. Candida ‘Yeast' Infections 6.Soft & Chipping Nails, Hair Loss 7.Wrinkles 8.Scar Tissue 9.Lung Dysfunction 10.Diabetes 11.Ulcers 12.Migraine Headaches 13.Alzheimers 14.Diverticulosis

Scar Tissue:
Burn victim, Bill Rich, discovered MSM for himself when a veterinarian friend had him try MSM. Bill's explains that his skin was flat, purple and leathery, up and down a majority of the right side of his body. After only a few days of taking MSM, Bill noticed an increase of stamina and energy, and over time an astonishing effect on his scarred skin as it started to turn pink and fill in. Now Bill has little more than a small section of skin that is still barely detectable after having more than 60 feet of skin graft scars. After years of using MSM and helping others, Bill Rich lectures in the benefits of MSM.

Wrinkles:
When the body replaces old skin cells, if there is a deficiency of MSM, the new cells can be stiff and contribute to wrinkling. MSM supplementation can help the body replace bad cells with good, healthy, elastic cells. Over time, wrinkles can go away, and brown and black spots and skin tumors can flow away as new cells replace the bad.

Damaged Skin:
It is the MSM in Aloe Vera leaves that soothe and repair skin that has been cut, scraped, burned or damaged. The body then is able to repair the skin with the proper raw materials.

Lung Dysfunction:
Bill Rich says that emphysema is not caused by smoking. Horses and dogs get emphysema, and they don't smoke! It is a deficiency of MSM that causes this condition, and supplementation of MSM can reverse it.

Diabetes:
Even diabetics that have been ‘on the needle' for years can benefit from MSM supplementation. Bill Rich sites several examples of his friends that are now self regulating since they have discovered MSM.

Sore Joints and Muscles:
Testimonials of many athletes attest to the ability of MSM to increase athletic stamina and eliminate sore muscles! MSM increases the ability of the body to eliminate wastes and toxins from the cells.

Ulcers:
Ulcers, caused by too much stomach acids can be reversed by MSM supplementation. Tagament covers up the symptoms, doing nothing to relieve the problem. MSM corrects the problem.

Migraine Headaches:
Women don't have the headaches, hot flashes, cramps and nausea associated with the monthly cycle when they use MSM. Even migraine headaches can melt away.

Alzheimers:
Bill Rich theorizes that Alzheimers is caused by aluminum and lythium salts that are trapped in the brain causing the electrical impulses to be ‘shorted' out, so they aren't going on the right path. Without proper circulation and the detoxification of MSM, this condition robs millions of their golden years. MSM facilitates the body's ability to clean out these toxins.

Allergic Reactions:
MSM is an Anti-Venom that can quickly bind up foreign proteins such as snake bites, flea bites, black widow bites, bee stings and mosquito bites. MSM is also an anti-oxidant that detoxifies the body.

Candida Infections, Chronic Fatigue:
Candida is a yeast that normally lives in the colon. If body pH gets out of whack, Candida can spread to other areas in the body. If the body pH is right, Candida cannot live outside the colon. Women sometimes get Candida yeast infections. When the doctor prescribes an antibiotic, that can send the body pH further off kilter and the Candida can spread. The white coating on the tongue is Candida. It can even get into the brain, where it is called epilepsy. In the blood, Candida will rob the nutrition and energy away from the body, causing a so called ‘incurable' disease called Chronic Fatigue. When the body burns energy it produces toxins, if toxins aren't properly removed, this is the result. Bill Rich explains how MSM can take care of this disease of the 90s.

Cholesterol:
Bill exclaims that if your body is functioning like it should, cholesterol will not be a problem. Your body will regulate it naturally. By taking MSM as a supplement, Bill can eat what he pleases and his cholesterol count is always normal.

Diverticulosis:
Diverticulosis is where the large intestine gets sluggish, clogged, and quits pulsing properly. The feces stop moving properly, and nutrition is not passed through the intestine walls. MSM smooths the coating of the intestine with a Teflon like coating, and the feces start moving properly. Diverticulosis is an MSM and Vitamin C deficiency.

Additional Benefits of MSM:
MSM has been found to improve athletic performance and is a tremendous energy booster. MSM will cause your nails to grow twice as fast, and you will find that your hair will be thicker and healthier. Finger nails have more sulfur in them than any other part of the body!
