What is MSM?

[Guest guest]

What is MSM? Is this epsom salts? My daugther has significant night

sweats as well which appears to be coinsiding with chelation. Before we

started bio-med her room smelled and she had a period of time that she

had bad breath. We are now chelating and she has night sweats and last

night I noticed that she had odor in her breath again. I would like to

understand more about night sweating and how it relates to chelating

and what I can do to support her body during this process. Thanks,

Melinda

___,,,^.~.^,,,___ No, it's nothing like epsom salts at all. Epsom salt is

magnesium sulfate (Mg - SO4). MSM is methyl-sulfonyl-methane.

It is used by some people as an anti-inflammatory to reduce the

pain of various forms of arthritis. Like all supplements that can't

be patented to make big profits for the drug companies, there is

little financial incentive to fund detailed double-blind studies of

the chemical's effectiveness for the purposes claimed. Thus there

is great disagreement and controversy. Andy Cutler strongly advises

against using MSM if you suspect mercury toxicity, as it will move

mercury around without actually chelating it. Years before I

discovered my own mercury toxicity, I was given MSM by a doctor

to help with joint pains. I (and the doc) couldn't understand why

the MSM made my joint pain worse when most everyone else

reports improvement. Now I know why.
