Guest guest Posted December 30, 1998 Report Share Posted December 30, 1998 , As I wrote in an earlier post, I found some MSM among my husband's supplements, and started taking it. Question: Is MSM the same thing as MSM sulfur? If it is, is MSM just sulfur, or is it also something else?

In the body it is the third most abundant nutrient with only water and sodium in larger amounts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 1998 Report Share Posted December 31, 1998 How do you buy MSM ? in tablets? liquid? and where do they carry it? Vitamin shops or health food stores? I've never seen or heard of it, does anyone have a brand name? thanks, Chris. Does anyone know if it is true that it helps snoring problems? I've read that it is suppose to help with it.

I've read that it is suppose to help with it. >> Hi Chris MSM comes in tablets or chewables (not good as too much heat is used to form them), capsules (the best form), powdered (the easiest if you want to take large amounts. Pretty tasteless if it's diluted enough), drops (to use for eye, ear, and nose drops) and their are even such things as toothpaste and shampoo. Most of the studies using it for snoring have been a 16% solution used as a nasal spray, but that form isn't available yet. My husband is using it with pretty good success. What we do is purchase the drops (10% solution, I'll include the web site), then I purchase a bottle of nasal saline spray and empty it. I take the drops, pour into a little dish, add one emptied capsule till disolved, then squeeze the nasal bottle in it till it fills up. I figure that has to be somewhere near the larger amount. Since you can't overdose it's close enough. He is taking 6,000 mgs a day in capsules and the spray once at night about 1/2 hr. before sleep. The snoring is not gone entirely but so far greatly improved. Some nights it's almost gone. I am also taking about 6,000 mgs a day also for a Candida overgrowth and it is working very well. The research says that what it does is make the intestinal tract somewhat like teflon so that parasites and yeast cannot grab hold. It makes the tract less hospitable to both. It also eliminates constipation for the same reason. It does great things for the skin, hair, and nails as well. To get the full benefit you should take 500 mgs of Vit C for every 1000 mgs of MSM. We are both convinced that this is a supplement we will continue to use indefinitly. There are too many benefits to ignore. This is the web site you can order MSM products from. It most cases I receive their products within two days after I order it. <A HREF= " http://www.intohealth.com/friendly.html " >Intohealth</A> I have also seen MSM is both of my health food stores. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 1998 Report Share Posted December 31, 1998 Hi and Everyone, I didn't mean to confuse people when I was talking about MSM. Sometimes I would use the term MSM sulfur just to make sure that anyone new who was reading the post knew that we were talking about sulfur. Lately I've seen the importance of sulfur in thyroid conditions, and MSM seems to be about the only sulfur supplement out there. All the health food stores have it and there are many brand names. Just ask. Typical tablet sizes are 500 mg and 1000 mg (1 gram). As I indicated recently, I think that 1000-1500 mg is about the right amount for most people. Taking MSM without the B vitamins may cause B-1 depletion and consequent depression (I thank for this experience). Anytime you feel depression, anxiety, or have fear dreams, think of B-1. Also, taking sulfur can deplete copper, so make sure you're taking copper before commencing MSM. I got some MSM crystals. It's cheaper that way. They taste very bitter in water, but yesterday I had some in grapefruit juice and didn't taste it. The crystals are also good to make a paste for topical use on skin problems. I don't know about the snoring problem, but if you find it helps, let us know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHris >> Hi Chris I believe the first one I was using was by Tri-Med that I bought at the health food store. They were 1,000 mg capsules with vit C added. The one I am using now is one that the web site I gave before packages them selves. They buy in bulk wholesale and have it packaged in capsules and jars. It is the cheapest I have found and is 99% just MSM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
