HEADACHES
HEADACHES
It has been clinically observed that MSM helps people with headaches caused by tension or muscle spasm – especially in the back of the neck where blood vessels pass to feed the head.
Emotional stress, misalignment of the cervical spine, eye disorders and medication often cause tension that causes headaches.
As crazy as it may sound, experts say that many times headaches and migraines come from the medication that are taken to eliminate them. This is what they call "analgesic rebound".
A teaspoon of MSM twice a day has proven beneficial, but one can start with half a teaspoon twice a day and increase until full relief. If you are elderly, you may have to take even more. Increase the dosage slowly and avoid taking it close to bedtime as MSM increases your energy and it may disturb your sleep.
Rub some MSM therapeutic massaging gel in the back and both sides of the neck several times a day will also give fast relief. Dr. Jacob highly recommended using both oral and topical MSM together.
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 amongst more:
1. A forty-six-year-old office secretary from the Los Angeles area who was suffering from osteoarthritis in her neck, she had migraines once or twice a month and had carpel tunnel syndrome in her wrists.
She started taking 1,500 mg/day MSM nutritional supplement and after two weeks, the pain in her wrists disappeared. She slowly increased her dosage to 4,500 mg/day and she is now completely pain free as long as she keeps using the MSM.
2. A nutritional oriented chiropractor from Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania, has been recommending MSM to his patients with headaches for many years. His patients get initial relief and slow and steady progress thereafter.
3. In 1977, a Portland homemaker, after the menopause aftermath of a hysterectomy, suffered from severe tension headaches, night sweats and hot flashes. In 1978, a friend who was taking MSM for her gastrointestinal discomfort gave her some MSM crystals, so she can see if it would help her condition.
The first night she had absolutely no symptoms at all for the first time since before her surgery. She settled on one tablespoon a day in the morning and will increase to three tablespoons a day if her allergies flare up.
She forgot to take the MSM on occasion but learned to never forget again and always keep a good provision.
4. In 1997, two days before Christmas, a thirty-nine-year-old office administrator lady from Lake Oswego, Oregon, was rear-ended twice while waiting at a crossroad. She managed to drive herself home but ended up with a headache to the back and both sides of the head. Once she got home, she realized that all her muscles were aching, so she went for a medical checkup and was prescribed medication and told to wear a neck brace.
On Christmas day, she met Dr. Jacob at a holiday gathering. He inquired about her situation, and she told him what happened. He suggested she should try MSM. She started the next day with both the MSM nutritional supplement, and a friend applied the MSM massaging gel as she was too sore to do it herself.
In three to five days, the pain was already 40% less. In a matter of ten days most all the pain was gone. Most neck whiplash medical experts say that the pain normally lasts weeks or even months and associated headaches may last for years.
5. A twenty-nine-year-old lady from Gardiner, New York, has been suffering all her life from chemical sensitivities mostly from building materials in new buildings, she gets dizzy and gets headaches.
After being symptom free for a couple of years, she started a new job in a brand-new building. After a half hour in the store, she was immediately feeling the symptoms of her allergies with her eyes puffing and feeling fatigue with headaches.
Around the same time, she started taking 1,000 mg MSM three times a day and finally increased her dosage to 10,000 mg a day. On the second week she felt a little better with less symptoms. In the third week all the symptoms were gone, and they never came back as long as she keeps taking her MSM.
