Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 The only trouble I'm having is that it sounds too good to be true. Look at this page, for instance, and notice the messianic tone: http://www.worldimage.com/products/info/msm/msmfacts.html On Saturday, January 17, 2004, at 04:48 PM, (AT) (DOT) com wrote: > Message: 1 > Fri, 16 Jan 2004 17:46:16 -0800 (PST) > " artichoke72x " <artichoke72x > Re: Re: MSM > > hi shawn, > i recently bought a bottle of 1000mg msm containing > 100 pills for $13.14. that's about a 2 - 3 month > supply for me (i take 1000 to 2000 mg a day). i think > that's a great price. that was for opti-msm, which is > a very pure, good quality msm. > > i worked at hfs for years and never heard a single bad > thing about msm. i did hear dozens of amazing msm > stories from my customers. the only negative side > effects that i have ever read about were headaches and > diarrhea. my theory is that would be caused by the > detoxification of the body and would subside in a few > days. when i do fasts or cleanses, i get headaches > for the first day or so. also, msm shouldn't be taken > by pregnant or nursing women because of the > detoxification...don't want baby to ingest the toxins > your body is eliminating. > > msm is non-toxic and is about as safe as pure (not > tap) water. it is not related to sulfa, sulfites, or > sulfates (the last two are preservatives found in deli > meats, sausages, hot dogs, some dried fruits, and > wines...among other things). humans are not allergic > to msm because it is in our bodies (4th most abundant > element). > > i think it's amazing stuff. i can't believe more > people don't know about it. > > hope this info is helpful, > susie It is an odd day when several Cobra gunships do not pass by. --Dan Waltimire, Prisoner Number Five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I think the part of Sulfur being essential to collagen; skin, hair, nails- is pretty well established. However, that site even admits that most of the billion other things people take it for are only " believed " to happen. Please keep in mind that many people also believe that horoscopes give great advice and that personal anecdotes should not be taken as scientific evidence of the effectiveness of any remedy. They could well be experiencing the placebo effect or it could just be that since things like pain, cramps, and stress are usually temporary anyway, that they are simply connecting the dissappearance of their symptoms with the MSM they started taking. The site also claims that cooking or any other form of process completely eradicates all sulfur from the many sulfur rich foods. Isn't that just a tad convenient for the manufacturer of MSM? From what I've read, sulfur isn't especially senstive to heat and is depleted only slightly by cooking, as is the case with most nutrients. And you could eliminate the problem by eating raw radishes, or any of the other sulfur rich foods. I'd also be extremely wary of any testimonials coming from health magazines, because unlike professional medical science journals, they make their money by advertising supplements. But no one ever listens to me, so I'll just go sit in a corner eating cigarette butts. , The Stewarts <stews9@c...> wrote: > The only trouble I'm having is that it sounds too good to be true. > > Look at this page, for instance, and notice the messianic tone: > > http://www.worldimage.com/products/info/msm/msmfacts.html > > On Saturday, January 17, 2004, at 04:48 PM, (AT) (DOT) > com wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
