FIBROMYALGIA
FIBROMYALGIA
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic disease characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory loss and mood issues. In clinical experience fibromyalgia seemed to amplify painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.
It often starts after a physical trauma, surgery, infection, or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event.
Women are more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia include pain, burning, soreness and stiffness all over, like the flu, headaches, irritable bowel, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and depression.
MSM will not cure this condition, but because of MSM’s pain reducing, anti-inflammatory, and increased blood-supply properties, seems like this natural nutritional supplement relieves this health disorder in a fully nontoxic natural process without medicine side effects and their excessive cost.
The suggested dosage is 2,000 to 8,000 Mg of MSM daily in the form of crystals or capsules. Start with the smaller dose and increase gradually by taking the MSM dose divided in two to three portions a day. You may need more as some patients have used up to 30,000 mg daily where some were able to settle at 12,000 mg daily. Because MSM is known to increase energy level, try not to take it near bedtime.
Taking more than above mentioned doses may help even more but your own experience will tell you which dose to stop at, so you have the life you want. Just remember that if you take more than you need, it will not affect your health as it will just be released in your urine unless you take more than your body needs and if so, your body will remind you by affecting your bowel movements. Then, you lower the dose.
At the beginning, applying the MSM therapeutic massaging gel to the most painful muscles may accelerate pain relief. Dr. Jacob always recommended using both MSM oral and topical together until the pain is in check and then continue only with the MSM nutritional supplement.
Notice: Every time you use the MSM therapeutic topical gel, make sure your hands and the massaged area are clean because the MSM penetrates the skin, and one does not want to infect the skin with dirt. Also make sure that you rub the MSM gel in until your hands and the massaged area are completely dry to avoid the MSM crystals staying on top of your skin when the gel’s water evaporates. The demineralized water-based gel contains 15% MSM, which is the maximum to avoid crystallization. So, to prevent the MSM from crystallizing in the MSM gel bottle, do not forget to close the MSM gel bottle lid after use.
The book "The Miracle of MSM" reports the following testimonials:
1.- A sixty-two-year-old highly active lady from Fountain Hills, Arizona, had been suffering from fibromyalgia for five years after it hit her out of nowhere. She could not remember where things were in her home or how to get to the bank even if she lived in the same place for more than twenty-five years.
She could not take pain pills as they would upset her stomach but was on anti-depressants. Friends would recommend she take some supplements, but she was reluctant. She knew a friend with candida who had relief from MSM, and the friend suggested she should try MSM.
She decided to try MSM in July of 1998, and changes started to happen right away. First with her rosacea symptoms that disappeared within days on her nose, forehead, and cheeks.
Then her energy started to kick back in, the second week she had only one bad day and the third week she had her energy back. After a month and a half, she was pain free and has been since.
She started with 5,000 a day and now takes 30,000 mg a day.
2.- A fifty-six-year-old Richland, Oregon, businessperson with extreme pollen allergies would go to Hawaii for three months of the year to get away from the allergy season. She started taking 5,000 mg of MSM for her allergies and she found that it relieved her allergy completely.
At the same time, she ended up relieving 50% of her fibromyalgia pain that had been affecting her for a year. She now takes 30,000 mg a day and is completely pain free.
As she says, she got a two-for-one with the MSM, her pain and allergies gone.
3.- A sixty-one-year-old lady from Burlington, Ontario, Canada could barely put on her own clothes, had trouble getting in and out of the car or the bathtub. She was prescribed cortisone which is quite dangerous.
At sixty-eight she started taking MSM up to 10,000 mg a day and is off the cortisone and pain free.
4.- In 1986, a forty-year-old lady from Lewisburg, Tennessee, was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. She was luckier than most as she heard of Dr. Jacob’s clinic and went to see him three months after her diagnostic.
She ended up being pain free with only 5,000 mg of MSM together with muscle therapy, exercise, and a better diet.
