MSM'S KNOWN HEALTH BENEFITS

MSM'S KNOWN BENEFITS

In his more than thirty years of clinical experience with the use of MSM, Dr. Jacob, MD, observed that MSM relieved pain and accelerated healing in over 70% of his more than thirty-thousand patients and
•  MSM provides 34% organic sulfur in weight.
• MSM is an analgesic and relieves pain and inflammation (it has anti-inflammatory properties). This is the most important MSM benefit due to the CONSIDERABLE NUMBER of diseases triggered by inflammation including cancer.
Important Note per Harvard Health Publishing:
(THE ALARMING FACT IS THAT THREE OUT OF EVERY FIVE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD DIE FROM A DISEASE THAT HAS BEEN LINKED TO INFLAMMATION).
•  MSM passes through cellular membranes of the body including the skin. This is why the MSM topical use if so important in many health conditions to bring a larger amount of MSM to the affected area.
•  MSM is a cholinesterase inhibitor & stops excessive passage of nerve impulses. By doing so, MSM helps restore the normal bowel activity (peristalsis).
MSM dilates the blood vessels, increases blood flow, and may lower the blood pressure by 8 to 12 mm Hg.
•  MSM reduces muscle spasm by producing a muscle-relaxing effect.
•  MSM alters the collagen crosslinking & reduces the tissue & skin scarring.
•  MSM has antiparasitic properties.
MSM has an immune normalizing effect observed in autoimmune diseases. This is one of the most important MSM benefit due to the SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER of extremely challenging autoimmune diseases that affect us.
•  MSM reduces lactic acid buildup, vital for athletes of all grades that push it to the limit.
•  MSM reduces fatigue and stress.
•  MSM increases hair growth and strength.
•  MSM increases nail growth and strength.
•  MSM may increase the joint lubricating fluid.
•  MSM increases energy.
•  MSM is not a drug, it is a natural constituent of our body, it is present in all areas of our body every second of the day as part of the blood, and it does not interact with any medicine.
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS OF MSM SUPPLEMENTATION AS IT CAN COMPLEMENT EXISTING DRUG TREATMENT WITHOUT FEAR OF DRUG INTERACTION FOR THE PATIENT AND HIS MEDICAL TEAM.
•  MSM has a very mild side effect, diarrhea, and only when taken in extremely high dosage by chronic pain sufferers, which dosage very few people will ever need. Or people already on medication for constipation and have not been informed to stop them before taking MSM, or people who start taking MSM without following the instructions by Dr. Jacob to start with the smaller 2,000 mg per day dosage for at least one week and then increase the dosage slowly by 1,000 mg every week until one feels comfortable. As mentioned further on this website, if diarrhea happens just reduce your daily dose and wait longer before further increase.

Now the following is the most valuable information you need to remember from what you learn on this website.

You do not need to remember all the above benefits, but you should remember MSM’S TEN MAIN BENEFITS: is an analgesic, is antiparasitic, is anti-inflammatory, helps bowel activity, dilates the blood vessels, increases blood flow, reduces tissue and skin scarring, has immune normalizing effect, increases energy, and has no medicine interaction because it is a constituent of our body. And these benefits have been observed and reported on an array of some 20,000 to 30,000 subjects treated for multiple health conditions during a period of twenty years or so, compared to some FDA prescribed drugs approved on samples of 50 to 2,000 subjects treated for six months to one year.

As for the fact that MSM dilates the blood vessels and increases blood flow, I just rub MSM gel on the top of my hands to demonstrate this fact to people. MSM gel immediately dilates my hands blood vessels up to four times their normal diameter and increases blood flow more than twelve times. It is easy to see the effect of MSM on the top of the hands due to their thin skin.

ANYTIME YOU HAVE A MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC, JUST RESEARCH WHAT CAUSES THIS CONDITION. YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT MANY HEALTH CONDITIONS ARE RELATED TO A CONDITION IN THESE MSM’S KNOWN BENEFITS.  

Anytime you hear about a disease that is not mentioned in this website's list of conditions that MSM may help, check what causes the disease and come back to the above paragraphs to see if any of MSM's known benefits can help.

Anytime something shows up on your skin that was not there before, massage the area with the MSM massaging gel to see it disappear in a few days.

Anytime you feel less energy, increase your MSM sulfur nutritional supplement intake a little.

Because of all these MSM observed benefits, is it not an easy decision and advisable to take the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement and use the MSM healing aid when in pain?

First, unlike MSM that is already a constituent of our body, all medicinal drugs do not belong in our body and are mostly used to change the way your body reacts to a deficiency or a trauma condition.

Many deficiencies and ailments can be treated better with an adjustment in your diet and more importantly very often with exercise, and many trauma conditions can be treated better with a massage than with any drug, even the mildest drugs.

We know that all drugs have side effects, without knowing the long-term damage of these side effects as shown in the third paragraph down.

Even the use of "baby aspirin" for the prevention of a first heart attack or stroke for persons over sixty comes with possible serious harms, as recently reported in 2022 by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an influential physician group that helps guide medical best practices. This use increases the risk for bleeding in the brain, stomach, and intestines, which are worse than the benefits of the drug.

However, as mentioned in the report, doctors keep prescribing it.

One can see the published report here:

Do you remember the first six paragraphs of this website?

And there are new guidance and medical studies with similar conclusion about approved drugs or medical practices BEING USED FOR YEARS that come up most every month.

What is important to remember here, is this new guidance involves one of the mildest over the counter drugs, it is not even a prescribed drug. Just imagine the possible long-term harm from all the prescribed drugs above all the side effects already known when they come on the market. People go along with their doctors opinions with their eyes closed without researching other natural ways to increase their knowledge and take care of their health.

I am eighty-six and I stopped taking baby aspirin many years before this 2022 new guidance and my doctors and the heart surgeons I visited were always upset about my decision. It is my body, and I am incredibly careful about what goes in it, everything I eat goes in because it is needed by my body.

In the last fifteen years, I have never met someone who did not think that I was ten to fifteen years younger than I am. My answer is simple, a balanced diet based on the nutrients that my body needs, and daily exercise. I used to swim a mile a day, play tennis and all other racket sports even with a particularly challenging neck handicap. I now just walk three miles a day, but I push myself to break a sweat and do it in one hour or 3 mph compared to the 2.10 to 2.17 mph average adult walking speed for my 80 to 89 age group. I also do six miles a day on the exercise bike in less than thirty minutes when I cannot find time to walk. On top of this, both my knee joints were bone to bone due to arthritis, for over twelve years, until I had total knee replacement on my right knee in June of 2023.

I have friends my age who tell me that they walk every day. At the pace they walk, they will die before it helps their body. Others tell me they have arthritis and cannot walk, if they walked everyday, they would feel less arthritis pain.

What Dr. Jacob's more than thirty years of MSM clinical research observed and mentioned above has been well reasserted and proven in the last twenty-five years. The two peer reviewed studies below show that the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement has tremendous therapeutic properties even as a cancer preventing and fighting substance.

And there are over six hundred more of these MSM peer reviewed medical or biological studies that have been published in the "US National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information" (The world’s largest biomedical library) over the last thirty years, where the two following peer reviewed studies come from.

Here are two of these studies:

1.- A remarkably interesting study by the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine University Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut, USA, published on August 4, 2010.

Study on the effects of MSM on Metastatic Melanoma, one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, was surprising. Melanoma kills more humans than any other form of cancer.

The study's citation is Methyl Sulfone (MSM) induces Loss of Metastatic Properties and Reemergence of Normal Phenotypes in a Metastatic Cloudman S-91 (M3) Murine Melanoma Cell Line.
In plain language, the study’s results show that MSM has therapeutic properties superior to presently used all known chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of Metastatic Melanoma.

The study was made by injecting MSM in laboratory mice infected with Metastatic Melanoma.

MSM not only changed the cancer affected cells into healthy cells but prevented the surrounding cells from becoming cancerous, what no existing chemotherapy drugs can do.
See CANCER.

2.- Another as interesting study, which corroborates MSM's cancer fighting properties from the previous study, by the Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, Institute of Biomedical Science and Technology, Konkuk University Glocal Campus, Seoul, South Korea, published on April 2, 2012.

A study on the effects of MSM on Metastatic Breast Cancer, one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, was also surprising. Breast Cancer kills more women 45 – 55-years-old than any other form of cancer.

The study included tests on animal breast cancer cells and on human breast cancer cells.

The study's citation is: Methylsulfonylmethane Suppresses Breast Cancer Growth by Down-Regulating STAT3 and STAT5b Pathways.

In plain language, the study’s results show that MSM has therapeutic properties superior to all presently known chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer. However, most importantly without the side effects of all presently used chemotherapy drugs and their exorbitant cost.
See CANCER.

In the last twenty-eight years, most doctors treating me have always been surprised by my blood work and urine tests results. I always tell them MSM does it.
