Re: MSM for burning feet?

[Guest guest]

MSM's a great antinflammatory, closely related to DMSO. Either would be worth a

try.

Also, and assuming that you're already taking some decent B complex vitamins,

you may want to consider higher

doses of B6 for a few weeks to see if that helps. Also get some extra B12 by

injection.

Use MSM regularly. As a precursor sulfur,

it greatly enables glucosamine and chondroitin sulphates for joint repair.

Crushed both knees 20 odd years ago and those three things have kept me walking

without canes or crutches.

for burning feet?

Would this help burning feet? I occasionally get parts

of my skin that burn but not feet. This may work if it inhibits nerve

impulses. Anyone try it?

MSM

Methylsulfonylmethane is a newly popular sulfur compound that appears to

inhibit pain impulses along nerve fibers, acting as an analgesic and

anti-inflammatory. Although few controlled studies have been done in humans,

MSM has eased the pain associated with osteoarthritis in many people who use it

regularly.

Is

MSM safe? Few studies on the supplement have been done. We asked M.

ce, M.D., Ph.D., assistant clinical professor at UCLA School of Medicine

and author of a book on MSM (The Miracle of

MSM, Putnam's, 1999). " In the thousands of patients I have

treated who took 2,000 mg and more of MSM daily for many months and years, I

haven't heard of any serious complaints to date, " Dr. ce says.

" In fact, I feel comfortable telling people that MSM is safer than water.

Remember, though, MSM is a biologically active substance and can sometimes

produce side effects, such as skin rash or minor gastrointestinal upset, in

some people. If you're on anticoagulants, you should check with your doctor

before taking MSM, because it can occasionally have a blood-thinning

effect. "

Are

some forms of MSM more effective than others? Dr. ce replies: " Many

of my arthritic patients have found that they experienced less pain when they

took MSM in combination with glucosamine, and a number of companies are now

adding MSM to their glucosamine formulations. I recommend taking a combination

of 500 mg of MSM and 500 mg of glucosamine three times a day. Using MSM cream

in addition to the oral supplement also works well for some people. Rub MSM

cream on the arthritic area four or five times a day for best results. I

suggest adding 1 teaspoon of MSM powder to the cream to make it even more

potent. "

Suggested

dose: 750 mg 3 times a day, Take with food to minimize digestive upset. If

using it with glucosamine, look for a combination MSM/glucosamine product

containing 500 mg of each.

Kiki,

I've been using a very good quality MSM for years 8,000mg to 10,000mg per day

with 5,000mg ester C and it doesn't stop the burning feet.
