Everything about MSM

****Check Out MSM Products on Diet Helpers Carousel***

As some of you know I have lost over 60 lbs on the HCG Diet Protocol. One of my major worries was what would my skin look like when and if I lost all the weight. I am a single mother and plastic surgery was not in my budget. But walking around with loose skin  ( we all remember those first pictures of Star Jones on the beach, after she first lost a lot of weight, and her arms looked a mess) After all, my main objective other than improving my health, is to look good, and be able to wear cute clothes. I was overjoyed one day when on you tube I found this video on MSM.

Shout out to Loving Raw who introduced me to MSM.

The other day I put on my swimsuit (the one with the skirt to cover my flaws) and I couldn't help but think that I could use a sexier one. I get asked a lot of questions about MSM from other HCG dieters. Here is an article by NHC that explains everything you need to know about MSM

BENEFITS OF MSM SUPPLEMENTS

Research and patents have shown that MSM can be very beneficial to the human body in the following ways:

When combined with vitamin C and bioflavonoids, MSM plays a role in collagen synthesis: skin becomes softer, more resilient and hair and nails grow faster and stronger.

MSM speeds wound healing, reduces scar tissue, skin disorders, wrinkles, spots, skin tumors, lesions, burns and other skin damage.

When combined with alkaline minerals, MSM helps to normalize stomach function and alleviate gastrointestinal complaints such as heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, ulcers caused by too much stomach acid, and helps with diabetic neuropathy of the extremities and gastrointestinal tract.

MSM removes inflammation and eases the pain associated with inflammation disorders such as arthritis, night leg cramps and migraines.

MSM permits muscles and joints to heal more rapidly

MSM increases energy, alertness, mental calmness and the ability to concentrate. Sulfur is required by every cell to produce energy at cellular levels.

MSM reduces muscle cramps and spasms, relieves arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

MSM enhances insulin sensitivity so that the body requires less insulin release.

MSM may provide relief from food, drug and environmental allergies by competing with allergens for mucous membrane receptor sites.

MSM creates an internal environment unfriendly to many types of parasites.

MSM stimulates immune function and also functions as an antioxidant and detoxifying catalyst.

MSM is necessary for the production of proteins, collagen and elastin.

MSM has also shown to be beneficial in reducing sluggish memory, the symptoms of asthma and emphysema, reducing post athletic activity fatigue and improved joint flexibility.

TWO VERY IMPORTANT PROCESSES THAT MSM SUPPLEMENTS SERVE INSIDE THE BODY

1. Excess MSM flushes out of the body pretty quickly, usually within twelve hours. Toxins in the body will attach themselves to the excess MSM and will be flushed out with it. Flushing toxins out of the body will help raise the pH balance of the body. See the Alkalizing pH Drops - For Proper Body pH Balance page for information on how important it is to flush toxins and improve the bodies pH balance.

2. MSM is involved in the cellular makeup of the cell wall of any new cells the body creates. Our bodies are constantly creating new cells to replace old cells. The body replaces the entire soft cell structure (everything in the body except bones and teeth) every twelve months. As new cells are created, the MSM is incorporated into the polypeptide bonds that make up the cell walls. The result is the creation of cell walls that are more permeable to nutrients. This allows the cells to more easily absorb and use vitamins and minerals.

THE EFFECTS OF MSM SUPPLEMENTS ON THE COLON

The colon (large intestine) absorbs nutrients and fluids from the food we eat and converts what is left into stool. The stool is then ejected from the body thru the bowels. The colon is 5 - 8 feet long and twists and turns through out your midsection. Problems arise when stool is lodged in the twists, turns and valleys of the colan, causing it to be compacted into a hard substance that prevents the colon from working properly. Furthermore, not only will this compacted fecal matter prevent the colon from absorbing nutrients properly, the colon will actually start inducing toxins into the body. It is estimated that the average adult has between 5 and 40 pounds of this compacted fecal matter inside their digestive system. Studies have shown that after 8 - 12 weeks of taking MSM supplements, compacted fecal matter has been completely removed from the colon. MSM supplements will leave the colon slick, like Teflon, and able to absorb nutrients and fluids properly.

WHAT MSM SUPPLEMENT SHOULD YOU TAKE?

MSM capsules and MSM powder both provide the same great benefits. In some cases, the capsules are easier to take. However, we recommend MSM powder for people that suffer from acid reflux, heartburn and constipation. Although both MSM supplements will have a miraculous effect on these conditions, we have found that results can be obtained quicker by using the MSM powder. MSM powder is absorbed into the body quicker than MSM capsules and will balance pH in the esophagus quicker. After these digestive problems have been eliminated, if you want, you can start on the MSM capsules. If you do not suffer from those conditions you can start immediately with MSM capsules.
