ARTHRITIS
As of 2021, arthritis affects sixty-three-and-a-half million people in the USA and over three-hundred-fifteen million people in the world, and women are more affected than men.
Arthritis is referred to as an inflammation of a joint that can cause pain, redness, and swelling. There are several types of arthritis and the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis involves wear-and-tear damage to your joint's cartilage, which is the hard, slick coating on the ends of bones where they form a joint. Cartilage cushions the ends of the bones and allows nearly frictionless joint motion, but enough damage can result in bone grinding directly on bone, which causes pain and restricted movement. This wear and tear can occur over many years, or it can be hastened by a joint injury or infection.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. MSM's immune normalizing effect observed in over thirty years of medical clinical experience does miracles in just a few days in some arthritis cases. It might take much longer if you have been dealing with the condition for many years. Just keep increasing the dosage slowly, taking the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement until you feel some improvement and stop increasing the dosage if you feel any discomfort.
The suggested dosage is 2,000 to 8,000 mg of MSM daily in the form of crystals or capsules to help give more flexibility to the muscles and reduce the pain in the joints. Dr. Jacob recommends starting with a smaller dose and increasing gradually by taking the daily MSM dose with your daily fluid input. I take 20,000-25,000 mg daily. Because MSM is known to increase energy level, try not to take it near bedtime, Dr. Jacob recommends two to three hours before.
An MSM therapeutic massaging gel or lotion increases blood flow, relieves tight muscles, increases joint fluid, reduces inflammation, and makes it easier to move with less and even without pain. Dr. Jacob highly recommended using MSM both orally and topically.
The swelling, which contributes to the pain, is also reduced with exercise.
I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT IF MY DREAM EVER REALISES, AND ALL WHO ARE LIVING TAKE THE MSM SULFUR NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT, ARTHRITIS SUFFERING IN THE WORLD WILL BE CONSIDERABLY REDUCED.
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.
Before citing some testimonials reported in the book "The Miracle of MSM", let me tell you two of my experiences, the first one when I was eighty years old. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis that I inherited from my mother and osteoarthritis from sixty-five years of skiing, playing racket sports, and construction injuries. I have been using MSM for over twenty-five years and I started using MSM before the arthritis started afflicting my life (see NECK INJURY).
Even with the MSM, I always have pain in my fingers and toes, but it is bearable. At eighty, due to a mishap, I took too much MSM one day and ended up with diarrhea. This is before I started drinking my MSM all day with my fluid intake. I stopped taking MSM for a couple of days to make sure the diarrhea would go away before starting back on my normal dose. I work a lot on the computer every day and I am mostly always standing at a standup desk. I suddenly started feeling a lot of pain right in the flat portion of my feet just in the back of my toes.
I thought that it may be because I was standing too much and decided to sit more on a high stool during the day. It did not help, and I ended up barely being able to walk because it felt like I was walking on broken glass.
I researched a couple of medical books I own and some internet medical websites to see if there was any explanation for this kind of localized pain. To my surprise, there were many websites talking about Plantar Fasciitis, mostly caused by arthritis and injuries exactly where my pain was.
It also said that the pain affected the heel of the foot, which I had not realized, but after reading about it I realized that I also had pain in my heels.
I got back on my MSM normal regimen of 15g - 20g/day and the pain disappeared right away, I mean it is bearable without having to take medication. I still cannot walk without a soft sole under my foot.
Except from there on, I started taking my daily MSM dose mixed with my daily fluid intake so this would not happen again.
The same feeling happened to me in 2021 when I visited one daughter in France after over twenty-four hours between my home and hers. I unfortunately did not think of taking my normal dose of MSM for all this flight time. Once I got to her home, I could barely walk, and it did not take me long to realize that it was because of my lack of MSM. Once I got back on my MSM regimen, I felt good again.
What I mean is there is still some pain, but it is bearable without the need for medication. This is the same condition American actor James Coburn had to deal with for some twenty years before he found out about MSM, as reported below. However, unlike the medication, MSM not only alleviated the pain, but it gave him more flexibility in his feet and hands.
The book "The Miracle of MSM" reports the following testimonials:
1.- A medical doctor from Lauderhill, Florida reports that many of his patients with rheumatoid arthritis report back to him that their pain is 50% better or more within a few weeks after starting MSM.
2.- A chiropractor from Wheeling, Illinois has been recommending MSM to his wear-and-tear arthritis 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-six-year-old Pennsylvania rural town priest, an avid jogger, had two sports injuries on knee and shoulder over the years that ended up giving him pain. After receiving MSM from a friend, he was back on the jogging, for up to thirty miles a week without any pain providing he takes the MSM and massage his old injury areas with the MSM therapeutic massaging gel.
4.- After starting to use MSM, the priest's mother with knee arthritis experienced the same results.
5.- So did a post-mistress, a parishioner of this priest, who had arthritis in her hands.
6.- A forty-year-old lady from Agoura Hills, CA, who suffered a nearly fatal crash fourteen years earlier giving her back, knees and hip arthritis together with carpal Tunnel Syndrome was taking Vicodin on a regular basis just to survive. She could barely sleep at night. Two weeks after starting to take one teaspoon of MSM three times a day (15g/day), she now can take care of her daughter, do her work, and sleep a full night without pain. If some pain starts to come back, she takes a little more MSM to get the pain away.
7.- A nutritional oriented chiropractor from Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania, has been recommending MSM to his patients with arthritis for many years. His patients get initial relief and slow and steady progress thereafter.
8.- A lady mail carrier from Littleton, CO, with knee osteoarthritis, with the advice of her orthopedist, started wearing a brace and using 600 mg ibuprofen daily. However, her surgeon said that she should have surgery on both knees.
A few months later when delivering her mail, she encountered a resident who was a salesperson for a nutritional company, and he told her about MSM and even gave her a sample.
She started taking 3,000 mg a day and did not feel any improvement for nearly a month but then it started to improve and was able to stop the medication in less than two months.
9.- A Los Angeles area eighty-year-old lady with generalized arthritis in her hands, fingers, knees, neck, and low back was taking the nutritional supplement glucosamine sulfate and it relieved her pain by 30%. After using MSM, she ended up with extraordinarily little pain.
10.- A seventy-five-year-old Los Angeles lawyer had both knees replaced and arthritis in both shoulders, feet, and low back. His pain is substantially gone with 15,000mg a day.
11.- A sixty-nine-year-old gardener from Los Angeles was managing arthritis in his knees and lower back with aspirin and Tylenol. He started taking 2,250 mg MSM a day and has no more pain.
12.- In 1978, at fifty-year-old, actor James Coburn started suffering from arthritis in both wrists. Over the next 15 years he tried all what exists as far as offered medical treatments.
Just like me, he also had plantar fasciitis and could barely walk, his hands were hard to open, fingers bent and his left shoulder always in pain.
At seventy-years-of-age, he was introduced to MSM in 1998 and it was like a miracle, he said, and from there on he had barely any pain until his death in 2002.
13.- A forty-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 a start of carpel tunnel syndrome in her wrists.
She started taking 1,500 mg/day of MSM sulfur 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.
14.- A Brazilian medical doctor from Sao Paulo, reports that ninety out of one hundred arthritis patients, men and women, age from forty to eighty-two were pain free with a small dosage of MSM.
15.- A forty-four-year-old Tucson health-food operator, after trying all other supplements on the market started using MSM in 1997 and he could not believe the reduction of pain in two days.
16.- In 1998, the Tucson health-food operator above introduced MSM to a security guard who needs to walk a lot for his job. He was able to be pain free with only 2,500 mg a day of MSM sulfur nutritional supplement.
17.- An Agoura Hills, California, forty-six-year-old physical therapist had difficulty climbing one flight of steps to his office and in pain when demonstrating exercises throughout the day, due to arthritis in his knee. He started using MSM, and not only does he not have pain anymore, but he is not as tired at night or on Monday mornings after doing a lot of weekend chores around the house.
