       AI ON DMSO/MSM SCIENCE
       _A study on monkeys of 2-week, high-dose, oral DMSO found that
       76% was excreted (60% as DMSO, 16% as MSM). That leaves 24% that
       was not excreted, but some of that was likely exhaled. The rest
       would apparently perhaps have converted mostly to MSM, which is
       2 methyl groups and one sulfur dioxide and there is evidence
       that both are used nutritionally.
       _Methylation is when the body adds a methyl group, CH3, to
       another molecule. It helps control which genes are active, make
       and process brain chemicals, build cell membranes, make DNA
       components, and process certain hormones and chemicals.
       _The strongest hint that MSM helps methylation is a human
       liver-cell study using deuterium-labeled MSM. Researchers found
       that labeled methyl groups from MSM appeared in newly methylated
       DNA products, showing that MSM’s methyl groups can enter
       cellular methylation chemistry under laboratory conditions.1,2
  HTML https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36469606/
  HTML https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10239780/
       That is meaningful biochemical evidence, but it is not yet proof
       in people taking MSM supplements. The next evidence needed would
       be a human trial showing that oral MSM changes SAMe-related
       methylation activity or specific methylation outcomes in blood
       or tissues.
       _The best-supported specific use of sulfur from MSM is that it
       can enter the body’s inorganic sulfate pool. From there, the
       body activates sulfate into PAPS and uses it to attach sulfate
       groups to important molecules. Animal radiolabel studies also
       show that some MSM-derived sulfur can be incorporated into body
       proteins, but exactly how much reaches each pathway in humans is
       not well measured.3,4

       _The study found only about 1% of the labeled MSM sulfur in
       protein methionine/cysteine, so it showed that this happened a
       little.5,6

       SLOANE ON DMSO & MSM
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1442125
       _DMSO can be a good thing if used carefully and properly. Though
       I generally do not recommend it due to the hassles and safety
       issues. My biggest concern is people not cleaning the
       application site properly. Because DMSO crosses the skin so
       rapidly it will also take pretty much anything it contacts
       through the skin with it in to the bloodstream. This includes
       soap scum. So the area needs to be cleaned really well with soap
       and water, then again with rubbing alcohol to remove the soap
       scum before applying the DMSO.
       _My other big concern is the possible reaction of the
       hypochlorite, improperly being referred to as chlorine dioxide
       (a very toxic gas), with the DMSO. This is based on the Ramirez
       case a while back in which there was a conversion of the DMSO a
       cancer patient was using in to toxic DMSO4.
       _Anyway, hypochlorites are oxidizers, and there is not enough
       known about interactions between DMSO and oxidizers. We do know
       that we can oxidize DMSO with heat in to DMSO2, also known as
       methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), but not with stronger oxidizers.
       _Hypochlorites make me nervous anyway. Again very little is
       known about their action in the body or interactions with other
       compounds. Chlorine is needed by the body, but it also forms
       some of the most toxic compounds known to man such as nerve
       agents.
       _MSM is good, but I still prefer to get my sulfur from natural
       sources as much as possible. Commercial MSM is not natural.
       Again it is synthesized from the industrial solvent DMSO.
       DMSO DANGER
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1448951
       _You need to be careful with mixing chemicals. Remember the
       Ramirez case? The lady was using DMSO, which researchers believe
       was oxidized in the powerful toxin DMSO4 (dimethylsulfate),
       which ended up hospitalizing a lot of people. Point is that the
       chemical reaction between DMSO and MMS, an oxidizer, is unknown.
       And there is at least one case where it looks like the oxidation
       of DMSO has lead to the formation of a poison in a human. Here
       is a link to the story:
  HTML https://www.discovermagazine.com/analysis-of-a-toxic-death-14125
       _Commercial MSM is produced by the heating of DMSO, which adds
       an oxygen atom creating DMSO2, otherwise known as MSM. Over all
       DMSO is great for pain and swelling, but due to the instant
       garlicky smell and the hassles of trying to use it safely I will
       pass myself.
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1836747#i
       _As far as DMSO goes I really DO NOT recommend people playing
       with it due to safety reasons. The biggest problem with DMSO is
       that it travels through the skin at such a fast rate that it
       actually carries other compounds on the skin with it in to the
       bloodstream. This includes things such as dirt, bacteria, soap
       scum, etc.
       _If someone does decide to still use it they should NEVER use it
       in combination with ozone. I posted about the Ramirez case a few
       times that explains why:

       READER USED DMSO ON A BAD BURN
       _A reader said she accidentally poured boiling water over the
       back of her hand. The pain from the burn masked the sting of the
       DMSO that she literally poured straight over her hand. {I guess
       some people are more sensitive. I don't notice any sting myself
       when I apply DMSO to my skin. The most I sense is a small
       tickle.} She used DMSO twice that day and there was no more pain
       or redness. In the morning she used it once more just to be
       sure. No redness, no pain, no blisters. About a week later,
       small amounts of skin on the hand peeled away. It was gentle and
       hardly noticed. Skin was replaced. That was it. The hand healed
       completely with no noticeable anything wrong. The skin on the
       back of the burnt hand was then smoother than that on the
       unburnt hand. Her son took DMSO and his kidney issues healed
       quickly.
       READER USED DMSO ON TWITCHING
       _A reader was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis (narrowing
       of the spinal canal in the neck vertebrae) and was scheduled for
       surgery, but after having misgivings, canceled the operation two
       days before it was scheduled. For a decade afterward, the reader
       remained surgery-free and felt confident in the decision. Ten
       years later, while reading in bed, the reader developed
       persistent twitching in the left arm that worsened over two
       days. Remembering prior personal success using DMSO for joint
       and tendon issues, the reader mixed DMSO with aloe vera and
       applied it to the back of the neck about three times daily. By
       the following day, the twitching was much less noticeable, and
       after roughly three days it stopped. The reader sees this as a
       strong personal endorsement of DMSO. {For twitches I generally
       suspect need for more magnesium.}

       I rarely recommend MSM because sulfur is so abundant in the diet
       that deficiencies are extremely rare.
       MSM FOR KNEE PAIN

       (Re
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1473556#i)
       _There are quite a few supplements that can help, but the main
       ones I would focus on would be gelatin, MSM (methylsulfonyl
       methane), and seaweeds. Nettle leaf, alfalfa and gotu kola are
       also good choices. These will supply the nutrition to rebuild
       the cartilage, and the gotu kola will help speed the
       regeneration.
       I would skip the DMSO unless you really know what you are doing.
       Anything on the skin when you apply it, including soap residue,
       will be carried right in to the bloodstream. I would stick to
       the MSM, which is actually DMSO2.
       MSM PAIN KILLER
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1528442
       _(Quoting a defunct website:) MSM ... is a powerful painkiller
       with anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and analgesic properties,
       and it inhibits the transmission of pain impulses. In a
       double-blind study conducted at the UCLA School of Medicine in
       America, researchers showed that 80 per cent pain control was
       achieved within six weeks in degenerative arthritis patients
       receiving MSM, but only a negligible improvement was observed in
       the control group. It is available both as a dietary supplement
       and as a cream for topical application.
       MSM & HERBS FOR ARTHRITIS
       _"I have been given some msm powder, glutamine powder (mixed
       with soluble fibre) and lots of ginseng teas (siberian, panax,
       kudzu, knotweed)."
       _As far as the rheumatoid arthritis goes the only herbs that are
       really going to help are the Siberian ginseng and the Panax
       ginsengs. Although high quality Panax ginsengs can be
       stimulatory and if you are a female they are not good long term
       since they raise testosterone.
       _Kudzu and knotweed are not real or pseudoginsengs. They are
       good herbs though. Kudzu is especially good for muscle tension
       and to help prevent migraines. I primarily use knotweed for
       hormone balance. This is the commercial source for resveratrol.
       HERBS WITH MSM FOR INFECTION
       _For infection, pau d' arco is quite safe. Even with extremely
       high doses the side effects are only diarrhea and some thinning
       of the blood.
       _I don't know how much your friend is taking, but I generally
       recommend 3 capsules 3 to 4 times daily and on an empty stomach
       at least 20 minutes before meals. Taking it with a little sulfur
       will increase its effectiveness. I prefer chaparral, or a little
       MSM, watercress, onion, or garlic will also work.
       _And depending on what kind of infection there may be better
       herb choices.
       MSM INFERIOR FOR INFLAMMATION
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1713836
       _"I thought MSM would take away any inflammation." Yucca root
       and licorice root are better anti-inflammatories. And both build
       up the adrenals, which produce the body's own steroidal
       anti-inflammatories. One other thing you could try to elevate
       ATP levels is the amino acid carnitine. It should be taken on an
       empty stomach at least 30 minutes before meals.

       MSM FOR HAIR & NAILS
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1454326
       _MSM is a synthetic sulfur source containing 34% sulfur by
       weight. It breaks down in to elemental sulfur in the body. From
       there the sulfur is used for various purposes including the
       formation of the protein keratin, which is composed of double
       sulfur bonds. So yes, it helps with growth. Same applies to
       hair.
       _The reason it has not really been mentioned is because sulfur
       deficiencies are very uncommon. So many of the foods we eat
       contain sulfur, and some common ones such as onions and garlic
       are high in sulfur.
       _Silica is common in insoluble fibers, but unlike sulfur the
       body's ability to absorb silica declines with age. So
       supplementing or restoring stomach acidity to allow for its
       proper absorption becomes very important.
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1455842
       _Deficiencies are rare, but extra sulfur does promote growth. It
       would be like saying water deficiencies are rare, but we still
       benefit by the ingestion of more water.
       _Sulfur is used for many purposes in the body, such as insulin
       formation and detoxification. Production of hair and nails is
       not a major priority for the body. So we get plenty of sulfur in
       the diet for the really important functions of the body. What is
       left over goes to hair and nail growth. Taking the MSM just
       provides additional sulfur for the less important functions.
  HTML https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1571761
       _A couple of supplements that can help regrow hair are the herb
       fo ti (he shou wu), and the supplements MSM (a sulfur source)
       and tyrosine (an amino acid).

       MSM FOR STRETCH MARKS

       sources are more important since sulfur is common in the diet.
       Collagen and elastin stimulators such as gotu kola also help.
