Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 OK, I spoke with the head chemist at the company who makes opti-MSM yesterday. He's been a chemist for thirty years and possibly the foremost authority on MSM in the world. I agree, sometimes you can do too much research but the bottom line is he says it has done wonders for him, he sounded like a very nice guy, it's made in America and I believe is probably the best source. You can order it at msm-msm.com and it's not expensive. I ordered five pounds yesterday for about fifty bucks I think. He said to take up to three tablespoons a day. He also said that he thinks DMSO is good stuff to put on topically and Dr. Jacobs is a good source for that. Use a 70% solution. He said the best source of glucosamine is Regenasure by a company called Cargill, it's vegetarian and his wife that and boswella with good results for what it's worth.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I buy the crystalline MSM and put a little in every beverage I take all day long and I have no arthritis and I am 82. I credit MSM for this, I have a damaged knee bone on bone and although it gives way now and then but still I have no pain. I've done this for many years and I try to never miss taking it. I highly recommend it. , Dave Hermanson <moonphish wrote: > > > OK, I spoke with the head chemist at the company who makes opti-MSM yesterday.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi Dave: Your price for bulk MSM was not that high. I have actually used Opti-MSM in the past I would not think that the area of expertise that we should be considering would be Chemistry. Since this is organic chemistry, it can be daunting, but we really should be looking at things out of your expert's area. Cargill would not be a source that I would be excited about... any more than I would with any other large corporation. Simply dropping that name would set me off a bit and make me question him. His recommendation on dosage is about right, but again, go slowly. The man that turned me onto MSM was just a horse owner who started selling it because he had found a cheap and reliable source. He would sell you a rail car load if you needed it. However, he was extremely knowledgeable about its effects on his horses... and his family. First hand knowledge is hard to beat. I have some trust in Swanson Vitamins as a source for things like Glucosamine and Boswellia, but there surely are better places to buy them if you are not shopping with cost in mind as you don't appear to be. Again, as Alobar suggested with MSM, unless you have an aversion to meat, I would not be concerned about getting my glucosamine from animal sources.. Chicken cartilage should serve you quite well. Homemade soup made from real stock is a great source of organic sulfur... which is the point of all of this. Bowellia, an herb, does not apply. I have had limited success with Boswellia, it seems, but when taking it with MSM, the effects of MSM are so powerful that it is difficult to tell. Duncan Crowe, whom a lot of us have learned to trust along these lines, also has advocated DMSO... as do several others in the Beck'n'stuff () group. I have no personal experience with it, but have read a great deal about it.
