<<Also, putting MSM in their food or water bowl

daily, will stop them from itching and help get rid of allergies, >>

 

Hi, Russ!

 

Can you tell me how much MSM to try for an itchy golden retriever -- a

six-year-old male about 63 pounds? He has had chronic, low-grade itching

almost all his life that is kept under control by a raw diet, but we can't

completely get rid of it. (Have tried Chinese herbs; Western herbs;

acupuncture; chiropractic; homeopathy; various diet changes; supplements

like probiotics, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, kelp, alfalfa, yucca, etc,

etc!)

 

Thanks,

Ellen

Ellen and all

I'm a big fan of MSM but my cats stopped itching after they started also

getting fish oil caps....

This is just flat out wrong. Look, I think MSM is great stuff - but

it's not the cure-all be-all for EVERY ailment under the sun of EVERY

species. This information you have presented is false and very

misleading.

 

Cats and Dogs DO NOT eat grass for MSM - if this were the case, horses

and cows would be full of MSM, and there wouldn't be such a huge

market for equine MSM products. I'd like to see a grass anyalsis - If

grass is so full of MSM, couldn't one just skip buying it from you and

eat grass?

 

Cats and dogs eat grass for a variety of reasons. Some times animals

resort to eating dirt and rocks - which is pica, and can be linked to

defficieny of an ESSENTIAL nutrient(s), which, (great though it is,)

MSM ain't.

 

Birds also feather pluck for a variety of reasons including stress,

bacterial infection, parasites etc. There is NO evidence that lack of

MSM is a cause. If you have a study that specifically states that

lack of MSM in birds is the ONLY reason they pluck, bring it on.

 

Same thing with cats - there are MANY reasons a cat may scratch. To

say it's an MSM deficiency is WRONG. If a cat is scratching because

it has fleas, do you then think that it has fleas because of an MSM

deficiency?!?!? Come on!!

 

Finally, you say you have _cured_? Interesting...

 

> > I have cured many people with carpal tunnel, TMJ, joint/muscle pains,

> simply buy using pure MSM daily.<<

 

I also like the freudian slip here. Buy indeed.

 

MSM is a great product - great enough that people don't need to be

misinformed to buy it for every freakin ailment they have - it should

stand on it's own merits, and be used for what it CAN help.

 

Let's also remember that everything, EVERY SINGLE THING we put in our

bodies, including food and herbs etc. affects us chemically.

Everything is a challange to our physical self, not to mention our

liver. There is no magic bullet.

Jen,

 

Good post!

 

>>MSM is a great product - great enough that people don't need to be

This is an important statement -- I hope that people can look into what MSM

does (that goes for many things) rather than hoping that it will do

everything. I am not even touching the cure part...

 

>>There is no magic bullet.<<

 

That is 110% accurate. I usually use the term " a little pink magic pill " ,

like the bullet though. Pink magic bullet -- nah does not sound too good,

LOL! :)

Blah blah blah...

 

Your website, that's where you SELL your MSM from, right? I'll get to

your excellent website later.

 

Funny. Between college, vet tech school and massage school, I have

taken about 6 years of A & P, I never heard crap about MSM being the

third most necessary nutrient after water and air, how convenient that

there is no patent on water or air, or we'd be forced to buy them from

you too.

 

I never put MSM down. I questioned the fact that you seem to think

that deficiency of MSM is the cause of every ailment under the sun,

and that MSM is the " cure " for every said ailment. I think MSM has

been a great help to arthritic dogs, cats and an aide to sport horses

- I have nothing against MSM, except it being held up as a universal

panecea.

 

I object to your marketing techniques. I object to the fact that you

sell the stuff, and come on here and tell everyone that everything

wrong with them is lack of MSM, then direct them to your website,

where you sell it, for more information.

 

I looked at your website and I REALLYREALLYREALLY object to you

stating FLAT OUT, that there are no incurable diseases, and ask for

people to write to you with their symptoms, that you have an

" incurable solution formula. " I think the FDA would be mighty curious

about this... and the AMA would be mighty curious about you. God is

curious too, he wants his powers back.

 

I encourage everyone to go look at the website - right now before it

gets changed: http://colloidalsilversolutions.com/ or

http://www.naturalhealingsolutions.com

 

You are as bad a crook and fake Dr. as Gary Young or any YL'er. And

you ought to be ashamed. People do not deserved to be given false

hope and bilked out of money. Save your client testimonies - I really

don't give a rat's ass. I'm too busy writing the FDA about you.

Hi Jen:

I've been following the responses of you and Janine, and I have nothing to

add, mostly because you two have said it so eloquently. The alarm went up

for me when I read he said his MSM was the only good MSM available. Anytime

anyone makes a claim like that, it's a sure sign they're a quack.

 

I do have to correct something. The FTC -Federal Trade Commission -- is the

government agency that handles false claims, whether its for a supplement

or an exercise machine or whatever. You can go to their website and file a

complaint.

The FDA regulates pills and potions -- think the ephedra ban. They have no

problem with MSM, just this guy russ's claims, which they would also

forwrad to the FTC. For that, go to http://ftc.gov At the bottom of the

page, there is a place to 'file a complaint.'

 

You can also contact the Attorney General of his state, Arizona.

 

In the meantime, you can save his webpage to your harddrive, and if you're

ambitious, use http://www.webreaper.net/ Download the webreaper program,

and let it scroll through both his sites, and it will save it all to your

harddrive. Then you just have to forward the results to the governing body

if he changes the pages.http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady
