MSM Study in Humans and Animals
The effects of MSM on rheumatoid arthritis almost mimic that of cortisone and it’s more effective for allergies than antihistamines - with out the side affects. MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) is a pure, organic, non-toxic, non-metallic element that occurs widely in nature. MSM has been shown to be completely non-toxic in study after study, even in high dosages. Storehouses of MSM in mammals decreases with age, which may be caused by changing diet or body metabolism. This should not be allowed to occur. Your body uses MSM to continually create new healthy cells to replace old ones. If your body is not receiving the proper nutrition including MSM, the body may produce weak dysfunctional cells.
MSM detoxifies the body and increases blood circulation. It is also a free radical scavenger, prevents overreaction
to other medicines, controls acidity, coats the intestinal tract so parasites lose the ability to hang on, helps to utilize vitamins and minerals, thereby providing the means to derive the maximum benefit from what we and our animals eat.
MSMs long list of benefits include help with arthritis, joint and ligament problems, lactic acid buildup, gastrointestinal
disorders, and hair, hooves and skin improvement. MSM is an important dietary supplement for people and animals. MSM, a natural form of organic sulphur found in all living organisms, is present in body fluids and tissues. It is part of the amino acid chain. Without the presence of the proper amount of MSM in the body, the amino acids will continue to build the glands but fail to produce the correct enzymes, so animals and people are then prone to unnecessary illnesses.
Stanley W. Jacob MD - “In a double-blind study of MSMs impact on degenerative arthritis, he found that human
patients who ingested 2,250mg of MSM a day for six weeks felt an improvement in their pain reduction by 82%, on average.” Ronald M. Lawrence MD - “I’ve been practicing medicine for 50 years, and in all those years I’ve never seen a substance like this” Lawrence says in The Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published Lawrence’s preliminary study results last July. Arthritic cartilage has only one-third the level of sulfur concentration of normal cartilage - perhaps that is why MSM has been so effective in treating arthritis. But researchers don’t know for sure if MSM is beneficial for arthritis because of its sulfur content or because of its antiinflammatory and analgesic properties.
Unlike aspirin, which offers immediate pain relief “MSM takes three to four weeks before you have noticable changes Lawrence says, “except in rheumatioid patients - they have felt differences in just one day, and certainly bythree or four days.” According to Jacob, Lawrence and Zucker’s forthcoming book, MSM can be a natural remedy for: osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis and bursitis, muscular soreness and athletic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, post - traumatic inflammation and pain, heartburn and hyperacidity, headaches and back pain, allergies.”
Consumers worried about oral MSMs toxicity can be assured it’s safe, according to Lawrence. “It’s safer than water” he says. Patients at the Oregon Health Sciences University who have received oral MSM as part of their treatment show no toxic build-up, even after years of ingesting more than 2,000mg of MSM each day. The body may actually use what it needs, then flush out the excess sulfur within 12hours.
Excerpts from the Holistic chat member:
• “I’ve had acute ulcerative colitus for 6 years. A few years ago the disease got really bad and the combination
of compromised intestine and prednisone (yuck) caused me to get a secondary disease, leaky gut, which is essentially a floating inflammation looking for a home. Within 7 days I went from normal to being so swollen with rheumatoid arthritis that my husband had to sit me up in bed, carry me to the bathroom, and I even got a handicapped thing for my car. I heard about MSM a few times; one college track star was taking it for shin splints, and some post office workers were taking it for repetitive stress syndrome. My understanding of it is that it’s a substance that’s in your bone marrow, part of regrowth, and as you get older, you produce less of it. It’s odorless, no side effects, no contraindications, and your body will urinate out what it doesn’t use, so it’s hard to take an overdose. I started taking it and I’m positive it’s 90% of the cure of my arthritis. I have ZERO symptoms of arthritis now. I recommend MSM to anyone in a state of bone or joint reparation.”
• “MSM is awesome stuff. I am going to start using it again. Even though I am on AIDS drugs and they make my hair thin out, while I was on MSM for a few months my hair grew in quite thick. When I stopped using it my hair started falling out like crazy again. So, that is why I’m going to start up on it again. My girlfriend uses it for her year round environmental allergies and finds that it works better for her than allergy shots. This is good stuff for sure. Not to mention how nice it makes one’s skin look!!”

Stanley W. Jacob MD - “MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is the first safe, natural, side-effect-free remedy for many types of pain and inflammatory conditions. In this authoritative look at MSM, Drs. Stanley Jacob and Ronald Lawrence reveal how to tap into the benefits of this amazing “miracle” compound. Experienced in the successful treatment of thousands of patients for pain, they explain how to take MSM--how much, when, with what foods, and in what form--to relieve pain in its many varieties, including:
- Degenerative arthritis
- Chronic back pain
- Chronic headache
- Muscle pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Tendintis and bursitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- TMJ
- Post-traumatic pain and inflammation
- Allergies and more
