Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Hi Jerry, Thank you very much for taking to time to explain the science to me, I appreciate it. I have very low levels of cysteine in my blood. Can this be taken to suggest that I don’t have a problem with sulfoxidation? Presumably, if the opposite were true cysteine levels would tend to rise. Supplementing MSM by mouth has a similar effect to mag sulfate injections. This directed me into looking at the sulfate component. Cheney recommends MSM as an effective detoxification agent. I do not know how MSM works on a biochemical level. I would be interested to learn this. Now I know the subjective impact I have started to take my injections at night. I thought that the knots may bother me but they don’t. Thanks again for the biochem lesson. Regards, Bob >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jerry wrote: The terms 'reduced' and 'oxidized' refer to how many oxygen atoms are directly bound to the sulfur atom. Glutathione and cysteine both have no oxygen bound directly to the sulfur, so are 'reduced'. DMSO has one oxygen bound to the sulfur; MSM has two; both are 'oxidized.' ......
