Any MSM users here ?

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Any MSM users here ?

Post by Busman »

Any of you old farts use MSM ? That's methylsulfonylmethane for the uninitiated.

Had some visitors yesterday who were up for knee replacements as unable to walk, now does jogging to help with weight control !

Seems worth investigating at the every least. They did specify that must be crystal form, the powder can be cut with fillers (sounds like good old aussie drug dealers). Am going to give it a go, but wondered if anyone here has tried it first ?

Think I'd be rather cautious about asking for a bag of crystal meth for the relief of joint pain ...... cause there is another crowd claiming a few joints are good for all sorts of ailments ..... didn't you get the lecture about a slippy path from soft drugs to the hard stuff when you was a youngster ;)

Interesting that you've had friends with good results from MSM.
I'd certainly be interested in giving it a try after a bit more research.
Just a quick read leads me to believe noticable results can be achieved in 2-3 weeks.

Are you looking at a particular brand William ?

Dietary change does wonder for knees, hips, arthritis, diabetes 2 cancer and just about every ailment humans get. These are lifestyle diseases and nothing else. Know a number of people who have changed their lives and avoided surgery and death, including myself.

Hello Lance,
The recommended is from mismo.com.au, they have both crystal and distilled, which is an extremely pure form, that is what we have purchased.
Not expensive when you compare it with a knee replacement, which horrifies me, and seems no side effects apart from a more youthful appearance to your skin !
The visitors have put quite a few people onto it and very few have had no improvement, for me word of mouth is good advertising.

Not a lifestyle change, basically just replacing something we lose as we get older.

I have read one study that says it is active within 45 minutes. But most say results in a couple of weeks.
Cheers

Stuff arrived, says between 2 and 6 grams a day so took a single hit of 5 grams, will split that from tomorrow into 2, with food.
Pretty tasteless, just stir into water.

Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium ...Elmiron 100mg

What is ELMIRON® (pentosan polysulfate sodium)?
ELMIRON® is a prescription medication used to treat the bladder pain or discomfort associated with interstitial cystitis (IC). It is not known exactly how ELMIRON® works, but it is not a pain medication like aspirin or acetaminophen and therefore must be taken continuously for relief as prescribed by your doctor.

I don't think it's anywhere near MSM , which is a collagen supplement.
Which is what the lining of your bone joints is made of ( except for ribs, they're joined by muscles )

I knew a lady kick boxing instructor many years ago and she took max MSM for leg joints pain, according to her she was able to get back into it almost like the young'uns, then retired from that and became a Real Estate Agent ( another form of kicking you around :lol: )
