MSM stands for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane. It is not a drug. It is food.
OUR BODY ~and that of our pets~ utilizes it daily, but neither our bodies nor theirs can store it; and so, MSM must be replenished. There must be a very good reason why the mastermind behind nature created MSM, and gave us its benefits.
...but there is much more.
MSM is part of Collagen Synthesis, and it is vital component in the bones and skin-cells. As a direct result, MSM knits them together ~so to speak~ and gives them flexibility. It is not surprising that MSM is regarded as a pain reliever as well as a meaningful treatment in swelling and inflammation of joints and connective tissues. It is one of many reasons why MSM has been successfully used to treat horses' muscle pain after a race.
Researchers at the American Institute Biosocial And Medical Research discovered that MSM shows low toxicity, and it is well tolerated. Risks of side effects from pain relievers such as Ibuprofen, Tylenol ~and other brands~ are defeated with MSM. Discomforts and pains in knees, elbows, hips, and other joints in the body disappear.
MSM is a significant component of insulin which is the protein hormone secreted by the Pancreas. A lack of MSM in the diet may lead to low insulin production. However, a diet with an adequate amount of MSM will likely increase the body's ability to produce insulin for itself to the point where insulin injections may not be necessary; or may be reduced.
Allergies are a reaction to an invasive foreign compound. Our body responds sneezing, wheezing, swollen eyes, etc. However, when MSM is flowing in healthful quantities ~and it flows for extended periods of time~ the cells become permeable. Permeability permits water to flow, and consequently, to wash the foreign compounds away. When MSM is NOT present, the walls of cells become hard and stiff; and that hinders the flow of water preventing foreign compounds from being readily carried away.
Since MSM promotes flexible and permeable walls, it efficiently reduces those symptoms associated with allergies, respiratory congestion, itching AS WELL AS a highly desirable action of facilitating nutrients flowing in the cells.
the book prescription for nutritional healing describes msm as follows:
msm disinfects the blood; helps the body to resist bacteria;
protects the protoplasm of the cells; aids in all necessary
reactions to oxidation; stimulates the secretion of bile;
and protects against toxic substances. because of its
ability to protect against the so harmful effects of
radiation and pollution, msm slows aging process.
it is found in all body tissues, and it is used for
the synthesis of collagen which is a principal
protein for the skin's health and look.
About Author Mr. George Josserme
This author discovered that people are not totally aware of MSM immense benefits, and also, that most products do not provide good quality. His research lead him to OptiMSM. It is made in the U.S.A. [rather than China] and it promises the highest quality. It is the reason why a reliable laboratory like Schiff exclusively use OptiMSM in their products.
