Acid Reflux is
stomach acid coming back up the throat, causing pain, and sometimes
causing tissue damage.
Acne is an
inflammatory skin condition of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles
in which breakouts of reddened " pustules" occur generally on
the face, neck and shoulders.
Allergies is a
sensitivity to a substance which does not normally cause people any
problems. The
immune system protects the body from foreign substances - known as
antigens - by producing antibodies and other chemicals to fight
against them. Usually, the immune system ignores benign substances,
such as food, and fights only dangerous ones, such as bacteria.
A person develops an allergic reaction when the immune system cannot
tell the good from the bad and releases a type of chemical called
histamine to attack the harmless substance as if it were a threat.
Histamine produces many of the symptoms associated with allergies.
Substances that may trigger allergic reactions, known as allergens,
range from pollen to pet feces to penicillin.
Alzheimer's disease
is a disorder in which there is a progressive decaying of brain
tissue. It is characterized by a decline in mental and emotional
capabilities. 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 send 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. A hot bath with chlorine bleach makes the body
sweat and release the aluminum, thus leeching it off of your body.
People who take MSM on a daily basis reported increased alertness,
that it enhanced their ability to concentrate, msm reduced their mood
changes, depressed people observed that MSM relieved depression within
hours rather than days.

Arthritis
is an
inflammation of the joints and it’s causes are varied.
Asthma is
a condition that is caused by inflammation and narrowing of the
airways. This results from the contraction of the muscles lining them
and causes breathing difficulties particularly in breathing out.
Bones, Joints, and Ligaments -
sulfur is necessary for the formation of all healthy body tissues
including bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.
Calcium
Calcium
is the mineral in your body that makes up your bones and keeps
them strong. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in your body is
stored in your bones and teeth. The remaining 1% is in your blood
and soft tissues and is essential for life and health. Without
this tiny 1% of calcium, your muscles wouldn’t contract
correctly, your blood wouldn’t clot and your nerves wouldn’t
carry messages.
Candida
- yeast infections-
is a fungal disease which affects many parts of the body, but is
particularly likely to affect warm, damp areas.
Carbohydrate Metabolism - sulfur is
needed to produce insulin and other vital components that
contribute to healthy carbohydrate metabolism.
Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome is
a condition that can cause pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in
your fingers and thumbs. CTS results from pressure on the median nerve
in your wrist.
Cholesterol
is a crystalline fatty alcohol found especially in animal fats, blood and
nerve tissue and bile.
Chronic
pain
is
considered chronic if it last over 6 months. The condition may
include weakness, numbness, tingling, or other sensations, along with
sleeping difficulties, a lack of energy, and depression. The state of your mind
has a lot to do with your perception of pain. And your state of mind is
influenced by the surroundings you find yourself in and your attitudes as
well. The psychological effect pain can have on us is substantial.
Persistent severe pain can erode our natural threshold to pain and cause
our personality to alter as a result. We can tend to perceive the pain as
worse than it actually is or that it is becoming worse and worse. The
immune system may also become affected adversely from persistent pain.
Chondroitin is a
naturally occurring nutrient found in the connective tissue of all
mammals, draws fluid into the cartilage tissues that lubricate, cushion
and support joints. This fluid plays two important roles: it attracts
essential nutrients to the area, and it makes the cartilage more elastic
and better able to absorb shocks. Chondroitin also performs roles in joint
health that glucosamine cannot do, such as maintaining healthy levels of
enzymes that remodel cartilage. Chondroitin is also an important part of
the structure of blood vessels, and helps support cardiovascular health.
Benefits from chondroitin become evident after four to eight weeks of use.
Circulatory
Problems This
is problems to do with circulation. Is the closed network of blood
vessels in the body.
Collagen
The protein that is the main component of your body's connective
tissues. This remarkable substance has greater tensile strength than a
comparable strand of steel.
Common
cold The common cold is a respiratory infection which is very
contagious usually caused by a virus. It is characterized by a slight
fever, streaming nasal passage, sore throat and aching joints.
Constipation
refers to hard, inadequate, incomplete, or infrequent bowel movements.
Crohn's
Disease is
a severe inflammation of the lower bowel.
Diabetes
is a condition where
there is an abnormally high level of sugar in the blood. The cells in the
body have become rigid and non-permeable. The insulin carries the blood
sugar to your cells but do not become absorbed because the cell walls are
not permeable and prevent all the blood sugar to penetrate the cell walls.
The pancreas works to hard and fast to compensate for the deficiency, but
becomes injured and stops working correctly. The blood sugars that are not
being used saturate the blood stream, creating a high level of blood
sugar. By taking MSM regularly, your cells become permeable and the
pancreas begins to be repaired. The blood sugars are now being absorbed by
through cell walls and the body becomes healthier. After a few months on
MSM, the pancreas should become self regulating, balancing your sugar
levels.
Dosage
is a prescribed amount of medications or supplements
needed to be taken in order to help the current situation.
DMSO (dimethyl
sulfoxide) is a therapeutic agent derived from trees.
Eczema is a skin
complaint characterized by redness, itch, dryness with pimples or
blisters.
Emphysema is a serious
lung disease where the alveoli and the narrow passages leading to these
air sacs become permanently swollen air. Emphysema is not caused by
smoking. But the smoking burns the tissue in the lungs so that the cells
are dying faster than the body is able to replace them with new cells.
When cells are dying in a hurry and you're not giving your body enough
building materials, you start losing the flexibility in the lungs and they
tear. If this happens too often, and you still don't provide the necessary
building materials, you start to build a type of scar tissue.
Enzyme
is a substance
that speeds chemical reactions, catalyst.
Epilepsy is a chronic
disease of the nervous system characterized by fits or seizures.
Fibromyalgia
is a common form of generalized muscular pain and fatigue. The
name fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles and fibrous
connective tissues (ligaments and tendons). Fibromyalgia is not a
disease; rather it is a clinical invention to describe a chronic pain
syndrome. No biopsy, laboratory test, or any other so-called objective
measure can establish this diagnosis unequivocally.
Free Radical is a negatively
charged molecule (often oxygen) that will attach itself to an electron
from a tissue in your body, damaging it much like metals rust.
Gastrointestinal - msm
promotes proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. MSM
supports healthy metabolism and digestion of starches, fats and
proteins.
Gerd is a disorder
in which there is recurrent return of stomach contents back up into
the esophagus, frequently causing heartburn, a symptom of irritation
of the esophagus by stomach acid.
Gingivitis
is inflammation of the gums of the mouth. Gingivitis associated with bony
changes is referred to as periodontitis. MSM is known to help with
gingivitis.
Glucosamine is a
substance that is needed for the making of the cartilage in our body. It
is manufactured in our body from glucose and an amine. Its main role in
the body is in the joints where it stimulates manufacture of
glycosaminoglycan which is a main structural component of cartilage. Glucosamine,
a natural sugar derivative produced by the body, is processed from the
shells of shellfish as a supplement source. Glucosamine stimulates
the production of collagen and proteoglycans, two essential building
blocks of cartilage. There are three types of commercially available
glucosamine: glucosamine hydrochloride, N-Acetyl D-glucosamine and
glucosamine sulfate. Glucosamine helps keep water in cartilage and joint
fluid to promote joint lubrication. Benefits from glucosamine generally
become evident after four to eight weeks of use. Continued supplementation
is needed in order to maintain benefits.
Gout
is the inflammation
of the joints caused by too much uric acid in the system. Gout is a
form of arthritis in a joint, leading to the sudden development of pain
and inflammation. People with gout either overproduce uric acid or
are less efficient than other people, at eliminating it. The joint of
the big toe is the most common site to accumulate uric acid crystals,
although the joints may be affected.
Hair loss is
made up of a protein called keratin, produced in hair follicles in the
outer layer of skin. As follicles produce new hair cells, old cells
are being pushed out through the surface of the skin. The average
adult head has about 100,000 hairs, and loses up to 100 of them a day;
so finding a few stray hairs on your hairbrush is not necessarily a
problem.
Hair, Skin, and Nails - sulfur is
necessary for the production of collagen and keratin. These are
the primary proteins that make up hair, skin, and nails. MSM
supports tissue pliability and encourages the body's ability to
repair damaged skin.
Headaches
Very common
headaches are tension headaches and they are brought on by an increase
in the tension in the scalp muscle.
Heartburn
is a burning
sensation experienced under your breastbone after you’ve eaten
something that may not have agreed with you.
Hives
is raised, itchy, red, welts on the skin which may take on many shapes and
sizes. Hives can be quite irritating as they are usually itchy and last
from a few minutes to a few days. They are usually caused by allergies or
emotional stress.
Indigestion
is a type of pain and
sick feeling after eating food.
Inflammation
- MSM works on aches and pains associated with systematic inflammatory
disorders.
Insulin
is a hormone secreted by the pancreas to lower blood sugar levels.
Juvenile
Rheumatoid Arthritis is the most common form of
arthritis in children. It may be a mild condition that causes few
problems over time, but it can be much more persistent and cause joint
and tissue damage in other children.
Lichan
Planus is a condition where hardening of the mucous membrane tissue in
the oral cavity. Mix MSM in a glass and use as a mouthwash. You will
see great improvement but it may take up to 2 months so be patient.
Lung Dysfunction -
Emphysema is not always 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 with MSM can reverse it.
Lupus
is a disease of the immune system
in which the body fights part of itself instead of concentrating on the
invaders only. Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), causes a skin rash that
is particularly sensitive to sunlight. The other kind, systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE), is more serious. It
affects the skin and other vital organs, often causing a raised, scaly
butterfly-shaped rash across the bridge of the nose and cheeks that can
leave scars if it goes untreated. This type of lupus may also damage the
connective tissue in the joints, muscles, and skin, as well as the
membranes surrounding the lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain.
MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane MSM is a naturally occurring
sulfur compound found in our bodies as wells as in many common beverages
and foods, including milk, coffee, tea and green vegetables. In its
purified chemical form, it is odorless, white, water soluble crystalline
solid. It is one of the least toxic substances in biology, similar
in toxicity to water.
Methylsulfonylmethane -
MSM, is an organic sulfur compound.
Migraines
are the worst type of headaches. This
headache can usually be preceded by a sick feeling or a blurring of vision
or flashing lights in front of the eyes. A migraine will usually begin
with a fierce, throbbing pain on one side of the head. This pain may
spread and is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. A migraine can
last for hours or days. Migraines are caused by the dilation and
contraction of the blood vessels on one side of the brain.
Muscle
Cramps are spasms or tight muscles. Usually in the legs.
Sometimes occurring when a muscle contracts with
great intensity and stays contracted, refusing to stretch out again. MSM
has the ability to reduce the number of muscle cramps, or get rid of them all
together in muscle cramps, night leg cramps, muscle spasms, leg and back
cramps after long periods of inactivity or in athletes especially runners,
who experience cramps during the participation in their sport. The MSM
disallows the crystallization and build up of lactic acid. The MSM flushes
the 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.
OptiMSM pure and
patented, tested, and licensed MSM. The logo may be found on the front
or the back of the packaging.
Osteoarthritis - a
chronic degenerative joint disease that generally affects older
people. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes
a person’s bones to become thin and weak. Possible problems to watch
for are hip fractures, blood clots or pneumonia. Osteoarthritis usually affects one
joint at a time, gradually destroying the cartilage. Osteoarthritis,
the most common form of arthritis, affects tens of millions of
Americans. This disease is found in many different joints in the body,
but particularly in the knees, neck, back, hips and fingers. It
commonly causes pain, inflammation and decreased range of motion.
Psoriasis
is a skin condition whereby areas are covered in pink or red colored
patches with white scales. The skin cells multiply much faster than
normal, healthy cells and the overproduction of these cells is what causes
the raised patches of skin. Psoriasis tends to run in families. It is not
contagious and is common among people with fair skin. Outbreaks are
triggered by the immune system and can affect other parts of the body,
particularly the joints. This condition is usually not dangerous although
it may be stressful and embarrassing and with appropriate treatment,
symptoms generally subside within weeks. A variety of factors,
ranging from emotional stress to infection, can accelerate an episode of
psoriasis.
Respiratory System- MSM assists
healthy lung function by supporting the cell membranes involved in
oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
Rheumatoid arthritis
- a chronic inflammation of the tissue surrounding the joints.
Side effects of msm
are energy and your hair and nails grow.
Sinusitis
is an infection or
inflammation of the sinuses. The sinuses are the air-filled pockets
in the bones of the face. The four pairs of sinuses are usually hollow and
filled with air and light mucus. The mucus traps dirt brought in by the
air we breathe; then the mucus is pushed out through tiny openings that
serve as drains. These openings, known as ostia, are very small and are
mostly at the bottom of the cavities where mucus can drain out easily.
However there are a few cavities with the openings at the top which makes
draining mucus more difficult. When the small openings, called ostia,
become blocked, the sinuses become inflamed and this is usually the cause
of sinusitis. The mucus can no longer escape, pressure builds up as a
consequence and the infection in the sinuses is trapped. The bacteria
multiply and the symptoms of sinus start.
Sore
Joints and Muscles - Testimonials of many athletes point to the
ability of MSM to increase athletic stamina and eliminate sore muscles.
This is because MSM increases the ability of the body to eliminate wastes
and toxins at the cellular level, where good health begins.
Sulfur is
an important body component. It is essential to life, and a major
component of all living things. Sulfur is in the proteins which
constitute basic hair, nails and skin. The sulfur-containing structural
protein keratin is found throughout the body, from the epidermis to the
hair follicle to the bronchial epithelium of the lungs to the intestinal
mucosa.
Tendonitis
is an inflammation in or around tendons, bands of strong fibrous tissue
that holds muscle to bone. Tendons are strong and can usually take
whatever we do to them but occasionally they can become swollen because of
overexertion, disease, or injuries. The fibers can become damaged and torn
and consequently the pain we feel can be enormous. The more we use a
damaged tendon after it has been damaged, the worse the pain will become
and the longer it will take to heal. Usually tendonitis will take about 2
weeks to resume normal functioning.
Tooth
Whiteness - As we age or teeth begin to become darker. Msm is starting
to appear in toothpaste. Brush your teeth as normal then brush again
using msm powder or crystals or flakes. Allow yourself two weeks for
a noticeable change.
Ulcers - Your amino
acids are all sulfur bonders, without the sulfur they are not complete.
When they build a gland, the gland puts out hormones and enzymes that work
as thermostats for chemical production in your body. Without the sulfur
the glands do not work right and they produce too much stomach acids then
you get ulcers.
- Vitamin C maintains the integrity of capillary walls; is used in wound
healing; allergic responses; has anti-inflammatory action; decreases the
duration and intensity of the common cold; enhances the absorption of non-heme
iron, is involved in cholesterol metabolism, protects vitamin A and of
course, serves as an antioxidant. MSM and vitamin C can be taken together
without any problems.
Wrinkles -
When the body replaces old skin cells, if there is a deficiency of MSM,
the new cells are stiff and contribute to wrinkling. MSM supplementation
helps the body replace bad cells with good, healthy, elastic cells. In
time, wrinkles go away. Brown and black spots and skin tumors can be
arrested and reversed as new cells replace the insufficient cells.
