What Is The Best Way To Take MSM?MSM is an incredible product. It is known by the following names:
MSM It is used for a wide, wide array of health issues. It is mainly used as an oxygen transport, a pain killer and something to increase circulation. Like its cousin DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) it can penetrate the skin, but unlike DMSO it will not carry other substances through the skin with it. Also it does not cause any body odor, which DMSO certainly will do. As far as cancer is concerned, it is mainly used for preventing swelling and inflammation (e.g. for brain cancer) and for reducing pain. MSM is perfectly, 100% natural. It is made from DMSO, as a derivative or DMSO, or it can be made directly from nature.
Dosages
U.S. Measures: The number of grams of a substance per TABLEspoon varies, but this article will assume there are 15 grams of MSM crystals in a TABLEspoon. The toxic dose of MSM (e.g. LD50 or LD-50) is about 2,000 grams per day, for a person about 220 pounds. However, it is not advisable for a person to take more than 80 grams per day, for a 200 pound person, just to be on the very safe side. Most people will only take between 5 and 25 grams per day, depending on whether they are in a prevention mode or a treatment mode. For brain cancer, however, a dose of 40 grams per day, for a 200 pound person, are advised. How much MSM per day you take is up to you, but a dose of 20 grams a day is perfectly safe for anyone except small children. But a dose of 40 grams or more would only be for people in treatment mode, such as for arthritis pain or who have cancer with potential swelling. People react differently to the higher doses. Some will get a strange feeling in their head (caused by flooding the brain with oxygen singlets - which is a good thing). It is important to understand that MSM will cause gastrointestinal (GI) issues at doses of 4 grams or more unless they slowly build up to these higher doses. You might start at 4 grams a day (spread out over 4 doses of 1 gram each), and increase that dose by 4 grams a day until you reach your desired dosage. The best way to take it is in granular form mixed with distilled water at room temperature. To make a bottle of "MSM water" do the following:
1) Get a one gallon bottle (i.e. slightly less than 4 liters) of distilled water and pour a little out. It would be BEST for the gallon bottle to be a dark colored GLASS bottle. If you have to order a dark glass gallon container, go ahead and use a water jug from the grocery store until you can transfer it to a dark colored GLASS bottle. The gallon jug contains about 150 grams of MSM (10 tablespoons times 15 grams per tablespoon), which is too much to take in one day because of GI issues. Obviously, keep the bottle away from children or mark it in a way they will know not to drink it without supervision. They will not get sick, but they may throw-up if they take too much. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. This means there are 256 TABLEspoons in a gallon. This means there are 0.6 grams in a TABLEspoon of this MSM water. It also means there are 1.2 grams of MSM in an ounce of the MSM water. Thus, if you take 12.8 ounces of the MSM water a day, you will be taking 15 grams of MSM a day. In prevention mode a person can fill a 12 ounce glass HALF with the "MSM water" discussed above and HALF with distilled water. This moderates the taste a little bit. This is about 7 grams of MSM. They can then add 10-12 drops of a good stabilized oxygen product, such as Prime pH or Aerobic O7 (or they can add 3 drops of Miracle Mineral Supplement instead), and 10-12 drops of Cell Food (a trace mineral supplement). You can forget about ever getting a cold or the flu if you do this. Just rememember that every 6 ounces of MSM water is about 7 grams of MSM. When in treatment mode, when you are taking 20 or more grams a day, it is best to take MSM in several small doses throughout the day, rather than one large dose!! This is mainly for the sake of the GI tract.
WARNING: About 15% of those who take MSM have a harmless reaction to the MSM. If you have a reaction to the MSM, then drop the dosage or stop taking it.
The Highly Endorsed VendorVirtually all MSM products you buy at a health food store are of limited value. This is because chemicals have been added to the MSM in order to put the MSM powder into the pills. These chemicals largely destroy the usefulness of the MSM. They add the chemicals because MSM clumps together and is difficult to put into pills.
I highly recommend one vendor for MSM because they provide MSM in granule form AND they NEVER add any type of additives. I use Lignisul "granular crystals." To order MSM:
