My current source of MSM

<http://cgi.ebay.com/MSM-Bulk-Powder-1-JUG-2-2-lb-COUNTRY-HEALTH-PRODUCTS-/35037\

As I posted here and elsewhere previously with regard to MSM quality:

An online supplier of MSM for horses told me about taking MSM in

quantity He actually sold it by the rail car load, but broke out some

for me.The man had a very extensive web site in the days of dial up when

it took ages to navigate through just a page or two; but I read every

word and we exchanged many emails beyond that. Unfortunately, I never

thanks him after I became healed.

I was at my wits end then. My sports doctor, Dr. Marvel, told me that I

would be knee replacement surgery in less than two years and that my

playing tennis would help it along. He wiggled my knee back and forth,

and said, yup, two years maximum... and with that he added that was

going to need knee replacement also. I had watched the operation on TV,

it reminded me of some sort of brutal carpentry work with lots of sawing

and hammering all of which was entirely unfit for a live human being. I

was not going to have any of that, but Dr. Marvel actually got his

operation.

No question, the guy that told me about MSM saved my knee, plus, I

probably dodged hip replacement surgery and a long lost of other

problems since. I now know that I was in much worse shape then than I

actually realized at the time. Think about it, when your joints start to

go, it is a global kinda thing. Of course, it all makes perfect sense,

Why would just one isolated joint fail? Sure, I injured it in a ski

accident, but the muscles had taken over and it had done well for ten

years.. The point is that my body was starved of the necessary

nutrients to hold my joints in place properly.

This man that initially told me about it gave me the entire protocol...

a heaping tablespoonful, swish it around for a good while & swallow. He

also told me that his entire family was on the same stuff that they gave

the horses and added that I should not to be overly concerned with

quality. Thus, I was not for many years.. However, I have read since

that MSM can absorb toxins from anything in its proximity. That would

make sense, since it does that in our body. For that reason, I no

longer buy it from animal product suppliers... That is, I expect to

outlive most horses, so maybe I need to be more careful. Now, since I

no longer have to worry about joint pain, I even look forward to a long

life.

By the way, my good friend Duncan Crowe has pointed out that his

undenatured whey protein isolate protocol actually provides a fair

amount of organic sulfur, so maybe after we have chased away the initial

problems, we don't even need to supplement with MSM anymore as long as

we use whey. That remains to be seen, but I am not going to test the

devil on this issue. This stuff is way too easy and cheap to take to do

that. Plus, I got past the taste almost immediately.

Please let us know how your Mom progresses. As I said, we all need to

hear from you on this. So far, I have never seen a problem so bad that

this MSM protocol did not turn things around, but, actually, my own

case was probably almost as bad as it gets.

>Do you recommend any particular brand of MSM? I've used

www.msm-msm.com before and it seems very high quality but would be kind

of expensive for Mega-dosing. A great post you made, it may save my

Mom's existence.<

I had an MRI too after THR...on the thigh, longest bone in the body and it took

too long, my replacement heated up and I nearly pulled the plug on the test.

Is it the CLEANSER step that is supposed to be mixed with DMSO to carry into the

skin? Or is it the Olive Oil and stuff that should get DMSO? Or is it both?

Also, I cannot find Naturlift or Naturelines on texasnaturalsupply.com. I don't

know how to interpret their website. I put each word in a search and get a whole

page of different products that do not have that name, so far as I can tell.

Lyn,

The DMSO is used in the Bradley CLEANSER FORMULA which i already gave

you.

The Olive oil is used for the moisturizer just add 2% each of liquid naturlift

and liquid naturelines. Go to www.texasnaturalsupply.com on left panel click on

" cosmeceuticals " you'll find them there. Add also a bit of beeswax for it to be

a little bid solid. Beeswax is also sold there under waxes. Use a stick blender

to get a nice texture when blending them. NO DMSO IS USED IN THIS CREAM (for

emphasis only).

Norm, I had a hip and two knees that needed replacing. Right knee gave me

the

most pain. My OS said he would do my hip first because you can rehab a hip

with

a bad knee easier than rehab a knee with a bad hip........my hip was

replaced....now

I have 90% less pain in both knees with the corrected hip. And the left

hurts worse

than the right now.......so you never know what is the main

culprit.........BARB in Florida

QUESTION

I have artheritis in both hips and knees. The right hip is the worst. Lately

however my right knee is more painful(suspect from favoring hip). I see the

Orthopedic Dr Wednesday for a scheduled date for hip replacement. The

question is,WILL MY KNEE PROBLEM DELAY MY HIP REPLACEMENT? I am beginning to

stress a little more than I probably should , but thats me. I cannot afford

to be without working forever. I don't want to lose my house.

Because I have some spinal damage as well, I thought much of my pain HAD

to be coming from there. Nope..the injection into my right hip caused

instant relief from almost all the pain. I'd forgotten how it felt NOT to be

in so much pain all the time, even lying down.

Hip problems can cause pain all over - as you are experiencing.

In general - even if one needs a knee replacement - surgeons will do the hip

first - and then the knee if still necessary. It seems to be easier to recover

from hip surgery with a painful knee than recover from knee surgery and do the

necessary rehab with a bad hip.

She needs to drink in very small portions her stomach needs to healBut she will eventually feel better. It takes time to learn drink and eat at a slow pace since most of us are used to eating quickly and large amounts. please make sure she stays hydrated or she can run into other health problems.

She is dehydrated and have put her in the hospital. They are now saying the opening to her tummy is way too small. I don't know if they know what they are looking at because we don't have anyone here that does VSG. They took her off Nexium but I think she should be on Prevacid or something else.

Please call Dr. Aceves and talk to him about it and have him possibly talk to

her doctors in the hospital.

I have simular problems. In fact a recent Dr told me most of my problems are

muscle. I do have some joint pain. Lately I had what feels like sprained

fingers and toes. My achilles tendon is bothering me which I've had no pain in

for years. I've read where ReA bothers people at the point where the tendon

attaches to the bone. This is certainly a problem for me. Lately I've had

soreness from my big toe over my arch to the inside of heal. I'm not sure if

this is plantar facitisis or not. Also the knob by my wrist, opposite my thumb,

hurts so bad I can't rest my hands on a table. This time of year has always

been bad for me (the football preseason is how I remember it) Its fun being

sick for so long that I can tell the time of year its going to be bad. I've

recently been dx with uveitis, after 23 years with my eyes bothering me. The dr

didn't give me anything for it however. I'm starting to realize that dr are so

very different. Its almost to the point that if your sick they are going to say

their is nothing wrong just to get rid of you. When I first got sick Drs seemed

to care, now its get the hell out of here. I saw a urologist today and he

walked out of the room on me!!! If I turned up dead I don't think he would

care one bit.

I'm also waiting for my hearing for disability. Boy, if I don't get that.....

Wow, we sound like twins, except I've gotten pretty good care from my docs in

Menasha. I'm so afraid the doc will call my symptoms fibromyalgia since that

has such a stigma to it. I've not had symptoms this bad in years. Not sure

what is different now. I had the uveitis as my first diagnosed symptom and it

took awhile to get me to the right specialist to get it taken care of. But they

did. I still have some damage from it. But still can see faily well with

corrective lenses.

Hopefully this will settle down once I get my daughter back to college in

another couple of weeks.

Prayers going up for you Dan that you get the care you deserve. Thanks for the

info.

Hi Dan and Kathy,

 

I feel your pain. A lot of it has to do with daily stress in our lives. I hope

things settle down soon. Also, I have one or two missed doses and the pain in

the neck comes back. I dread to think what will happen if for some reason I am

not able to take my meds. Good luck,

Hi Dan,

This whole thing with me being diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis started after a

lengthy and painful bout of plantar fasciitis, which two different podiatrists

could not fix. I even had surgery to try and correct it. Which did not help. So

AFTER the surgery, the podiatrist says, " did I ever mention arthritis to you? "

Well, no...

The only thing I can say about bombing myself with all these ReA medicines is

that my plantar fascia doesn't hurt anymore. But other things do from time to

time.

I didn't get that memo!!I would imagine that the popcorn kernels would be hard to digest and maybe can get stuck in your new staple line. Those things get stuck everywhere in your mouth and so I imagine that may be a reason since you now have areas that may not be as "smooth" with scar tissue.As for butter/mayo, besides them being high in calories, I kinda consider these "slider food" for me. It makes whatever I eat go down nice and doesn't seem to keep me full as long. Not sure if that is why Dr. A says to avoid, but it has been my experience with them!Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 26, 2011, at 11:13 PM, "" <movie_mommy@...> wrote:

He believes in the low fat theory.  I totally disagree with him here, we did not get fat from dietary fat, we got fat from white carbs.  I've been at goal for over 4 years and I still eat a full fat, low white carb diet.  Dietary fat actually keeps you full longer.

Popcorn, that I don't know.  I wasn't aware of that one.On Fri, Aug 26, 2011 at 8:13 PM, <movie_mommy@...> wrote:

I never heard this from Dr. A or Nina, so you'll you'll have to see what

others have to report. Popcorn, well, my husband who use to have bouts

with diverticulitis (when he was heavier) was told NEVER to eat seeds of

any kind because they can get caught in the intestinal wall and cause an

infection. So perhaps that's why Dr. A says stay away from popcorn

because of the little husks in it, IDK, just speculating. I have eaten

all of the forbidden foods - butter, mayo and popcorn with no issues.

Obviously butter and mayo have FAT in them, so common sense would tell

you to steer clear of those on regular basis. Once in awhile I don't see

the big deal, but as I say, see what the others have to say.

JMHO but I believe its because he wants us to stop our old bad habits of eating

unhealthy fattening foods. Not sure about the popcorn. I bet Suzanne or Bipley

know...
