Methylsulfonymethane, i.e. MSM, is a naturally occurring
sulfur compound. MSM comes from plankton which releases
dimethylsulfonium into the water. It is then oxidized into
MSM as it reaches the surface of the water due to the
presence of ozone and ultraviolet light. MSM then dissolves
into the atmosphere moisture and returns to the earth in
the form of rain and snow. Plants then absorb MSM into
their structure. In the plant MSM and other minerals are
bonded with carbon making them into a compound that animals
and humans can absorb. MSM is essential for our nutrition.
It is found in every cell in our bodies and is a vitally
important for the structure and function of other compounds
such as hormones, enzymes, antibodies, antioxidants,
collagen and immunoglobulin. MSM maintains cell membrane
flexibility and permeability helping to make the exchanges
of nutrients and waste products function effeciently.
People have sought out hot springs containing large amounts
of natural sulphur to soothe muscle aches and pains. In
addition, we have obtained MSM from the food that we eat.
However, now in an age of fast and processed foods, our
foods no longer contain enough MSM for our bodies to use to
repair connective tissue and muscle wear and tear that
results in joint, back and muscles pain. Health authorities
and doctors have recognized the benefit of MSM supplements
in the treatment of pain. We are often able to lower the
dosage of prescription pain medication with its possible
harmful side effects, with the addition of MSM supplements
to our diet. Prescription pain medications block our
brains from perceiving pain, whereas, MSM repairs the
tissue injury that originally caused the pain. Since MSM is
essential for connective tissue health, it is very
effective in treating the inflammation of arthritis and
joint injury with it's accompanying pain. MSM helps improve
joint flexibility, reduce stiffness and swelling, improves
circulation, reduces scar tissue, dissolves calcium
deposits, and prevents cartilage degeneration. MSM also
appears to inhibit pain impulses along nerves.
In addition to pain relief and tissue repair, MSM provides
raw materials to create new cells to repair organ tissue.
MSM helps with energy as a componenet of insulin and a
prerequisite for normal carbohydrate metabolism. As plants
absorb MSM from the soil they change them into amino acids
such as methionine, cysteine and taurine that protect
against radiation and chelate heavy metals for elimination
from our bodies. MSM also contains keratin which is a
protein that is the primary component of skin, nails, hair
and teeth. Collagen, found in MSM, is a protein that
forms bones, tendons and connective tissue and is the
building block for tendons ligaments, heart valves,
membranes, eyes and skin. MSM is also helpful in
preventing nail and hair breakage and splitting as well as
promoting the growth of hair and nails. MSM has been used
to treat systemic lupus erythematosus, to prevent the onset
of breast and colon cancer and to lessen or cure parasitic,
microbial and fungal infections. MSM has been used to
treat asthma because it regulates the fluid that covers the
airway surface of the lungs, prevents an inflammatory
response and helps to regulate the exchange of oxygen and
carbon dioxide. MSM helps alleviate allergies by
detoxifying cells and eliminating free radicals. MSM is a
natural and effective source of organic sulfur found in
keratin and collagen which helps slow down the effect of
aging on our skin and repairs skin damage.
For those of us who experience pain associated with joints
and muscles due to aging or to strenuous work and activity,
MSM provides us with an effective way to keep our
connective tissue repaired and pain free. MSM also
provides safe way to prevent and treat pain as studies has
shown that no toxic effects due to MSM have been found in
human use of MSM supplements. It seems like a natural
occurring substance that repairs the tissue damage that is
the original source of pain is a more wise choice than
synthetic prescription pain medication that only masks the
pain and does not address the original source of pain. MSM
can be taken internally in capsule form or applied directly
to a painful area with topical formulas containing MSM.
