Re: What do you think about MSM?

December 15, 2008

I read about using DMSO for migrains due to my Mother having them so

bad that she would have to pull the shades and go to bed for the

rest of the day...and sometimes stay there for another day or 2

I about and got her some DMS and told her how and when to apply it

to the back of her neck. She did it...and within 1 & 1/2 months she

never got another migrain again

That was about 6 years ago.

I was told on the DMSO group that MSM gets rid of ganglion cysts even

faster than DMSO. Just now I'm experiencing incredibly clear sinuses

for this time of year, clearer head, doing better at waste-of-time

computer games than ever, and crackling in my neck where lyme gave me

arthritis. I thought I was recovered from lyme and hadn't had much

problem in the neck for years but it was still a little stiff (felt I

couldn't turn it as far as I used to be able to) so maybe I had some

calcifications there that the DMSO is loosening - I've read it does

get rid of calcifications. Neat.

BTW, the clear head thing is very similar to what I experienced while

fasting and now I wonder if the hydroxyl radicals were the cause of

the " not clear head " - that both fasting and DMSO were clearing them.

I've also found that GABA can be transmitted across the blood-brain

barrier when mixed with DMSO, which is neat. DS is having sleep

problems and I've made him a mix of it to get before bedtime. Since

DMSO acts as a solvent on cellulose, you can put tablets of

supplements in a dropper bottle of DMSO solution and in about 2 days

they will be dissolved and the supplement will be in solution with

the DMSO, ready to be absorbed through the skin.

OK so I'm finally hooked. What is MSM? DMSO? Too many things to follow

so didn't read. Sorry. A link?

Garnet talks about CMO for arthritis - Cetyl Myristoleate - she is SO

interesting!

It is an awesome thing. I've used it to dissolve a Morton's Neuroma

on the bottom of my foot - it takes the pain away and shrinks the

swelling. We also have a bottle of it with B12 dissolved into it. We

use it for backaches and it does double duty.

Recently I've been reading about how it can cure/help with COPD when

used in a nebulizer. I've had asthma my entire life - raw milk helped

tremendously, but even if I swig a teaspoon of DMSO with 6oz. of beet

kvass, my lungs seem to clear for several days. Applying directly to

the chest helps too, but I'm a little squeamish about inhaling it.

Very cool indeed! I'm so doing that one.

MSM and DMSO are chemically related compounds that both have effects

to lessen pain, increase bloodflow, decrease blood clotting, increase

tissue health. MSM is Methylsulfonylmethane and DMSO is dimethyl

sulfoxide. Some say MSM is naturally made in healthy bodies by the

liver, and both are available in small quantities from a variety of

plants. DMSO neutralizes hydroxyl and other free radicals allowing

them to be excreted by the kidneys. It also increases cell wall

permeability, allowing the cells to better excrete their toxins and

function better.

When combined with nutritional supplements, DMSO can transport them,

through the skin (without causing damage to it) into the tissues and

even crosses the blood/brain barrier. So, for instance, it can carry

GABA directly into the brain to calm hyperactivity or anxiety.

DMSO has also been shown to prevent radiation injuries during

radiation treatment. It is applied to the surrounding area where it

is absorbed into the tissues. In trials, very few of the test

subjects treated with DMSO then given radiation from cancer got

radiation burns or tissue damage from the radiation while controls

did.

There are also reports of people with non-healing sores, like from

diabetes or bedsores that have lasted for years, responding to DMSO

and their sores healing within a month of daily applications of DMSO

and vitamin E. And reports of people with phantom pain and other

types of pain reporting an end of the pain after 3 days of IV DMSO

treatments.

And I think I shared here the article I came across about DMSO

possibly being a cure for crohns and colitis?

http://www.newtreatments.org/dmso.php

They have too many " cures " to be believed by some experts, but a lot

of them are actually well-documented. One of the coolest is that if

given in IV to someone with a spinal cord injury within 90 min. of

the injury, the person is likely to not be paralyzed - in an injury

that normally would create paralysis.

There is a lot of evidence they help with arthritis, migraines,

burns, and things like stiff back from old injuries. Some doctors

even claimed it helped infants with Down's Syndrome become smarter

and grow facial features that don't look like Down's Syndrome.

Still, very little information is available in general on the

internet, most of it has to be from specific searches like " DMSO

autism " or " MSM fibromyalgia " .
