MSM, an odorless essentially tasteless, white crystalline chemical demonstrates usefulness
as a dietary supplement in men and lower animals. Our research suggests that a minimum
concentration in the body may be critical to both normal function and structure. Limited
studies suggest that the systemic concentration of MSM drops in mammals with increasing
age. This may be due to dietary habits where one ingests foods with lower MSM potential
with maturity or possibly there is a change in the renal threshold. Healthy juvenile
rabbits maintain a level at or above 1 PPM body weight, with milk being the dominant food
and source. Cow's milk normally contains between 2 and 6 PPM MSM, dependent on source and
freshness. In an adult man, the circulating concentration varies but may average about 0.2
- 0.25 PPM. We have no estimate of total body concentration as yet, but suspect that MSM
is banked in some of the organs, other than the adrenals. Based on radiolabel (35 S)
studies, the residence time of a single challenge in mammals may be several weeks with
gradual dumping via the renal system. Daily output of urine contains several milligrams of
MSM. This possibly is not the dominant excretory route. The following abnormal conditions
seen in the clinic have responded to oral MSM generally administered at dosage levels of
250-270 mg/day.
- Response to allergy. Oral MSM moderates
diverse allergic responses as to pollen and foods. Antiallergy
medication and dissemination methods may be sharply reduced.
- Control of hyperacidity. Subjects that
are chronic users of various antacids and histamine H 2 receptor
antagonists prefer
- Hypersensitivity to drugs. Subjects
demonstrating drug hypersensitivity to aspirin, several
nonsterioid antiarthritic agents (Naprosy, Indocin, Motria), and
oral antibiotics, were drug tolerant when MSM was given within an
hour before or concurrent with the sensitizing drug
- Control of constipation. Particularly in
the older population seen in our clinic, chronic constipation can
be a medical problem of concern. To date, over 50 subjects
presenting chronic constipation have gained prompt and continuing
relief by supplementing the diet with 100 to 500 mg of MSM per
day.
- We have seen some individuals with
severely restricted lung function. Of these, only a few cooperated
in vital function assessments. All cooperated in endurance
measurements. Limited objective and strong subjective evidence
suggests that MSM is a useful dietary supplement to reduce lung
dysfunction.
- Antiparacitic action. In vitro and in vivo tests suggest MSM has an
activity against a variety of medically important parasitic tracts, MSM, for example, is
active against Giardia, Trichomondads, and round worms. MSM surface, presenting a blocking
interface between host and parasite. We are at present evaluating the action of MSM with a
variety of abnormal or medical problems to determine whether any are responsive to a diet
supplemented by MSM.
We are intrigued the fact that MSM is a contestant factor in all normal dies of
vertebrates and somewhat mystified by the seeming need of the body of adults for a
concentration level above that available from a diet presumed as normal. We hope soon to
have data defining any specific interacting role that MSM may have with the water-soluble
vitamins, particularly Vitamin C, which like MSM is reportedly banked in the adrenals. It
is not possible to directly compare DMSO and derivative MSM, though of the same chemical
family. Each is unique unto itself. MSM is a dietary factor derivable from most natural
food. It is conveniently taken alone or in foods. Taken by mouth, there is no afterbreath.
DMSO has certain unpleasant attributes not possessed by MSM. While MSM is a dietary
factor, DMSO is not. DMSO readily penetrates the dermas and less complicated membrane
systems while MSM does not. Each contribution to the well-being of mankind, but in
differing ways. Both have important implications.
