MUSCLE PAIN

MUSCLE PAIN

Muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage, joints, and all other associated tissues that move the body and maintain its form are called the musculoskeletal system.

It is estimated that the human body contains some 650 different muscles.

Myositis is an inflammation of the muscles on each side of the body, close to the trunk that move your body.

For all kinds of reasons, the inevitable happens and one feels pain in some parts of the musculoskeletal system.

Muscle spasm usually brings inflammation and MSM has demonstrated a muscle-relaxing effect that reduces spasm.

In people over sixty-five, polymyalgia rheumatica, an inflammatory disorder can cause muscle pain and stiffness, especially in the neck and shoulders. Or at the hips or buttock, where there are a lot of muscles, with pain especially in the morning or after being inactive for a while.

Fibromyositis is a disease of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue characterized by chronic inflammation and widespread pain in the muscles with an overgrowth of the connective tissue.

Fibromyositis causes the patients to experience pain even with a small amount of pressure in the neck, shoulders, lower back, elbows, hips, shins, and knees.

MSM’s pain reducing, anti-inflammatory, immune normalizing effect, and its increased blood-supply properties were observed in over thirty years of clinical experience. This natural nutritional supplement relieves these pains better than anything else, in a fully nontoxic natural process without medicines side effects and their excessive cost.

Myasthenia Gravis, a rare disease, is an autoimmune disease which results from antibodies that block or destroy nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the junction between the nerve and muscle.

It is characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of any of the muscles under your voluntary control. It is caused by a breakdown in the normal communication between nerves and muscles.

The book “The Miracle of MSM” does not address this condition. I have not seen any reported information or testimonial on the benefits of MSM for myasthenia gravis. However, because it is an autoimmune disease and MSM has an over thirty-year proven immune normalizing effect on some of the most debilitating autoimmune diseases, it sure does not cost much to try MSM.

MSM taken orally accompanied by a generous application of the MSM therapeutic massaging gel should reduce muscle inflammation mostly overnight and the pain in a few days.

In similar autoimmune diseases, it is suggested to take 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. Once you reach a level you are comfortable with, just keep taking this dose daily. Because MSM is known to increase energy level, try not to take it near bedtime.

The MSM therapeutic massaging gel applied several times a day to the injured or pain area will help relieve both the inflammation and the pain. Dr. Jacob, MD, always recommended using both the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement and the topical application.

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.

You can see my own testimonial about muscle pain in NECK INJURY.

The book "The Miracle of MSM" reports the following testimonials:

1. A medical doctor from a pain clinic in Lauderhill, Florida reports that some of his patients with polymyalgia rheumatica and fibromyositis report back to him that their pain is 50% better or more within a week after taking MSM sulfur nutritional supplement.

2. A chiropractor from Wheeling, Illinois has been recommending MSM to his musculoskeletal patients for over twenty years. His patients get relief within five days to two weeks, and he never got one individual who is not getting a positive effect.

3. A forty-five-year-old professional massage therapist from Malibu, CA, suffered chronic muscle strain right below his right shoulder blade due to the repetitive movements of his profession. He was taking high doses of Motrin mostly daily, seeing an acupuncturist, and receiving deep tissue massages with no significant relief of his pain. He started taking MSM and within a month the pain started to diminish. Three months later his pain level was 20% of what it used to be. He had to stop playing tennis but after starting to take the MSM he was able to get back to playing tennis.

4. A dietary oriented chiropractor from Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania, has been recommending MSM to his patients with muscle pain for many years. His patients get initial relief and slow and steady progress thereafter.

5. In a preventive medicine clinic in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a physician used to treat his muscle injury patients with DMSO but realized that MSM gives as good results without the injections and the bad odor of the DMSO.

6. A former football quarterback and head coach of an NFL club takes MSM sulfur nutritional supplement to relieve all the aches and pains in the fingers, hands, elbow, and shoulders from old football injuries.

7. A twenty-nine-year-old Portland, Oregon attorney, a marathon and triathlon runner with this condition takes 8,000 mg a day of MSM orally and soaks his feet two to three times a week in a hot foot bath with 60,000 mg or 60 gr of MSM crystals for fifteen to twenty minutes.
