Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've been doing a LOT of research for the last two years for my hip and found someone who told me that large amounts of MSM have helped him significantly.

Other studies showed it also worked better with glucosamine...

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Alobar and I started with similar conditions. I was told that within two years my knee would require replacement and that the ACL was snapped, but it is back and better than ever. I could not hold a wrench in cold weather, my knee would collapse without warning, I had terrible sciatica, and my neck was always killing me. Not surprisingly, my experience parallels Alobar's. Since we followed the same protocol we got similar results. Any problems with connective tissue are all distant memories. Dave emailed me off group and we discussed his research. Sometimes you can just be too thorough. I have never paid more to get MSM from any special source and the results have always been truly spectacular. However, I have read that some sources are not so pure and that could be an issue. The bottom line is that I have never suffered any joint problems for about fifteen years now... since finding out that large doses of MSM will do the trick. Like Alobar, I have cut back now, but whenever I get even a slight tinge of joint pain, I scoop up a heaping tablespoonful, put in my mouth with some water, swish it around till the taste is gone, and swallow... and it is quickly forgotten (MSM is absorbed well in the mouth, so you get more that way). Note that arteries and veins are also connective tissue, so expect great side effects when you use MSM. Why not take Glucosamine, Microlactin, Hyaluronic Acid, etc. since they are synergistic? But MSM is " Da Bomb " .

No idea if it is made from petroleum or not. 8 years ago, I could not ie my shoes, or button my shirt. Putting on an oven mitt was painful. I take 2 grams x 3 times a day. I started out at a higher dose and cut down after the pain went away. MSM is not only great for arthritis, but it also helped reverse my diabetic neuropathy in my feet and hands. I take vitamin C to bowel tolerance daily. Currently I take ~15 grams a day. Back 5 years ago, I needed over 30 grams a day. Why do you believe MSM from petroleum is inferior? The MSM molecule is the same, no matter where it comes from.
