MSM appears to be another natural substance promising substantial benefits, such as relief from pain, inflammation, and allergies, for those who take it as a nutritional supplement.
As a medical oncologist and gerontologist, I am always skeptical of the value of a nontoxic drug, but many vitamins and food supplements have a place in medicine as substances offering therapeutic effects without major clinical toxicity.The use of agents such as melatonin and MSM is giving health professionals new, safer options with which to help combat the debility of chronic disease…
How do you spell pain relief?
These days, more and more people are spelling it M-S-M.
MSM is a nutritional supplement rapidly establishing a reputation as a safe, natural and effective solution for many types of pain and inflammatory conditions, including:
| - | Degenerative wear-and-tear arthritis |
| - | Rheumatoid arthritis |
| - | Chronic back pain |
| - | Chronic headaches |
| - | Muscle pain |
| - | Fibromyalgia |
| - | Tendinitis and bursitis |
| - | Carpal tunnel syndrome |
| - | TMJ |
| - | Post-traumatic pain and inflammation |
| - | Heartburn |
You may be wondering that if MSM is so good why haven’t you heard about it before? Until now, there has been little written about it except for a few booklets and articles in nutritional and veterinarian publications. This book is the first comprehensive report on MSM. (published Feb. 1999)
Although much of the scientific fine print relating to MSM’s precise healing mechanisms in the body still needs to be determined, we know from clinical experience that it provides major pain relief through the following actions:
| - | The inhibition of pain impulses along nerve fibers |
| - | Lessening of inflammation |
| - | Increasing of blood supply |
| - | Reduction of muscle spasm |
| - | Softening of scar tissue |
MSM is a surprising supplement. When you start taking it, you may notice a number of good things happening in your life in addition to pain and allergy relief:more energy, cosmetic benefits such as softer skin, thicker hair, stronger nails; decreased scar tissue; and relief of constipation.
In the coming years, with wider and wider usage, more of the healing potential of MSM will be revealed.At this point, based on our clinical experience, we believe that such healing potential may be as great, if not greater, than any other nutritional supplement, and we feel we are only beginning to scratch the surface of its multiple uses.
