Re: Re: Injectable MSM etc

[Guest guest]

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

cysteine both have

oxygen bound directly to the sulfur, so are 'reduced'.

DMSO has one

bound to the sulfur; MSM has two; both are 'oxidized.'
