Study shows MSM one of three supplements supported by good to moderate evidence
Arthritis Research & Therapy reviewed 2,026 OA nutritional supplement studies and concluded that only
three supplements including MSM are supported by good to moderate evidence.
Researchers from the Nestle Research Center, Lausanne, Switzerland, Laurent G. Ameye
and Winnie S.S. Chee, have concluded that of 2,026 human clinical trials evaluating the effects of
nutritional compounds on osteoarthritis, only 53 studies provided minimum acceptable evidence and
only three nutrients, including methylsulfonylmethane or MSM, showed good to moderate evidence.
The research was published in Arthritis Research & Therapy, July 2006.
The study did not include evidence for glucosamine or chondroitin sulfates, which are known to
have significant research support.
MSM has been shown to greatly reduce chances of someone getting cancer.
Cancer research that was being done on MSM had been discontinued due to lack of funding by the
pharmaceutical companies.
This is due to the fact that there would be no huge profits involved for the major pharmaceutical companies,
It is a well known fact that research costs huge amounts of money and the only real money
available for extensive research and clinical studies comes from these major pharmaceutical companies.
It stands to reason that these large drug companies are not willing to fund cancer research in order to prove that
a natural nutritional sulfur substance will prevent cancer.
MSM is a natural substance that literally "falls from the sky,"
in the form of rain water and has no toxic effects.
Research suggests that MSM has also been shown to be an alternative treatment to chemotherapy and radiation treatment for fighting cancer.
MSM is now widely used around the world for safe and effective natural relief of
pain from arthritis, back pain or muscle pain.
We have created this web site to try and provide accurate information and a better understanding about the health benefits of MSM Nutritional Sulfur Supplements
We will include information about what MSM Sulfur is, where it comes from, how it is made, why our bodies require sulfur and also provide some answers to the most common questions about MSM.
MSM also known as Methylsulfonylmethane is an organic sulfur compound that is derived from DMSO, which has been used for more than 30 years, due to its effectiveness at relieving pain and inflammation. DMSO has several side effects, including a smell similar to that of rotten eggs. The MSM has all of the same pain and inflammation relieving benefits as DMSO, but does not contain any of the harmful side effects that came with the use of the DMSO.
MSM has been used widely in human nutrition for many years, it has often been recommended as a safe and effective way to help with joint pain.
MSM relieves the pain and inflammation for most health conditions.
MSM has shown a remarkable ability to reduce or eliminate muscle soreness or cramps.
People with conditions such as arthritis have reported substantial and long lasting relief from their arthritis pain and stiffness when taking the MSM supplements. When taken with glucosamine, which helps the process of rebuilding cartilage, MSM can relieve pain and aid in repairing worn or damaged cartilage in joints, ligaments and tendons by replacing them with healthy, flexible new cells.
The most promising research on the use of MSM is in the area of joint pain. MSM has been shown to be effective at reducing discomfort and pain that arises from degenerative conditions including osteoarthritis, tendonitis or joint sprains and hyperextension.
There have been several studies looking at the effectiveness of MSM in the fight against joint pain including one recent double-blind trial that was published in a top-tier osteoarthritis journal.
The medical advisor for Bergstrom Nurition is Dr, Stanley Jacob, MD.
Dr. Jacob has been studying the clinical effects of MSM for more than 20 years. He has now documented thousands of case studies and personal testimonials attesting to the benefits of MSM Sulfur. Much of Dr. Jacobs MSM research can be found by doing a online search under the various scientific names of MSM which include DMSO, DMSO2, Methylsulfonylmethane and Dimethylsulfone.
