What Is Your Body's Secret Weapon?
Do you know which mineral:
-resists bacteria and protects the protoplasm of the cells?*
-is required to make methionine, cysteine, taurine, and glutathione?*
-disinfects the blood?*
-aids in oxidation reactions, stimulates bile secretions in the liver and protects against toxic substances?*
-protects against the harmful effects of radiation and pollution, slows down the aging process and extends life span?*
-found in hemoglobin and all body tissues needed for the synthesis of collagen, which prevents dryness and maintains elastin in the skin ?* ( Prescription for Nutritional Healing by James & Phyllis Balch pages 22-23)
The Answer is:
Biological Sulfur aka Methyl Sulfonyl Methane
Why do we need MSM?
MSM is the 3rd largest ingredient found in the body. Vitamins and amino acids work with MSM to build new, healthy cells. If there is a shortage of MSM, the body cannot replace cells as rapidly as they die off. This leads to illness and chronic health problems.
Since MSM is present in all fresh foods, a diet of freshly picked fruits and vegetables, raw meat, and whole-raw milk will provide the MSM your body needs.
However, MSM is very volatile, meaning that it escapes from the food very rapidly once the food has been picked, stored, cooked or processed. To be sure your body has the proper level of MSM, you need to take it every day!
Muscle Soreness and Lactic Acid
MSM prevents the buildup and crystallization of lactic acid in muscle tissue. MSM makes the cellular walls more permeable, allowing the lactic acid and other toxins to be flushed out of your system. Taking large doses of MSM allows even more toxins to be flushed out, thereby speeding recovery from injuries, muscle fatigue, chemical exposure and other damage.
Pain and Inflammation
Think of every cell in your body as a balloon full of water, but rather than being made of rubber, they are made of protein.
If the protein is impermeable and inflexible, the pressure builds up causing pain and inflammation. Aspirin will "block" the pain by shutting off the nerve, but the damage is not repaired. MSM softens the protein and makes the cellular walls more permeable, allowing the pressure to flow through the walls of the cell and relieving the pain and inflammation. This also allows the toxins to be flushed out of the cell, while oxygen and nutrition are able to get into the cell, speeding recovery and healing. This is why people with Emphysema or Asthma often experience such rapid relief from their symptoms.
Allergies
An allergic reaction is simply your body's reaction to something foreign in your body. Foreign proteins and free radicals invade your body, causing adverse reactions. Your body responds with a sneeze, wheeze, puffy eyes, headache, etc. MSM softens the cells and makes them more permeable, allowing your body to rapidly flush these foreign particles from your body. The body is designed to flush your cells every 12 hours, but if the cells are not receiving enough MSM, they can't keep up with the toxins, especially in today's polluted environment. By taking large doses of MSM, even severe cases of allergies have shown rapid
improvement.
P.M.S.
MSM helps all the glands in the body maintain normal production levels. When your glands are in balance, the body can go in and out of the monthly cycles without the cramps, headaches and nausea often experienced during the menstrual cycle.
Chronic Headaches
MSM helps soften the cell walls and increases the circulation. There is less pressure build-up, reducing the pain.
Often the effect is as rapid as aspirin, but sometimes it takes a few days to overcome chronic conditions. Many people have found MSM to be the only long-term relief from migraine headaches that works consistently.
Is MSM safe?
Yes, it is safer than common table salt!(1) Acording to the book MSM: On Our Way To Health, no toxic results were observed at "intake levels up to 1 gm/kg of body weight per day for 30 days."
According to The MSM Miracle, "Its profile is similar to that of water! Within limits, you cannot overdose with MSM because the body will take and use whatever it needs and, after a 12-hour period, will flush any excess amounts from the body."(2)
Remember that breast milk is the single best source of MSM. Since babies are building new cells at an incredible rate, MSM is needed for the development of healthy cells. That is why breast-fed babies are almost always healthier than formula-fed babies.
I personally recommend taking 4 to 6 tablets per day for the first week or two. MSM must be taken with Vitamin C to be used by the body.
Nearly everyone that has tried this product has seen results within a week to 10 days. Since there is virtually no toxicity level with this product, you can speed your results by taking more.
When one man recently injured his back, he took 16 tablets per day for 2 days and the pain was gone. The doctor told him he would be sore and stiff for a week or two, but he didn't miss a single day of work.
Scar Tissue
The body makes scar tissue because it either lacks the energy or the nutrition to re-make healthy tissue. MSM gives your body both.
