HEALTHY FOOD CONSUMED OFTEN for extended periods of time likely provides enough MSM; but as we and our pets grow older, it is wise to supplement with MSM. Food of low nutritious value consumed often does not provide enough MSM, and those people will inevitably pay for it.
MSM stands for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane. The following is an utterly short list of benefits:
» MSM is part of Collagen Synthesis. What that means is that ~literally speaking~ MSM knits together cells in joints, ligaments, connective tissues; and that is how those areas become stronger and flexible.
» MSM is a pain reliever. For decades, it was used to relieve horses' muscle-pain after a race. It was so until scientists realized that MSM kills pains in humans as well, but without side effects expected of man-made pain relievers.
» MSM is a component of Insulin which is secreted by the Pancreas. Low level or lack of MSM leads to low Insulin production which is a barn door to Diabetes Type 2. However, when MSM circulates through the blood stream in good quantity, the Pancreas produces enough Insulin without overworking.
» Our bodies respond to allergies by wheezing, sneezing, and swollen eyes. When MSM circulates through the blood stream in healthful quantities, cells' membrane become flexible; and two conditions take place. Firstly, water flows in and out washing away invasive compounds. Secondly, nutrients from healthy food enter cells to do their job. When MSM in healthful quantity does NOT reach cells, their walls remain stiff hindering the flow of water and nutrients.
The book titled prescription for nutritional healing describes MSM as follows: "MSM disinfects the blood; helps tissues combat bacteria; protects cells' protoplasm and makes their membrane flexible; aids to prevent cell oxidation; protects cells against toxic substances; stimulates secretion of bile; slows the Aging Process by shielding us from harmful effects of radiation and pollution."
