MSM ( Methylsuflonylmethane )

MSM has shown to be helpful in treating skin disorders and effective against acne, Rosaceae and dry, scaly or itching skin skin disorders including acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, scabies, diaper rash and certain fungal infections, scars resulting from operations and from burns also respond well to topical application. New scars can heal perfectly so that they are almost invisible. Old scars, too, can improve markedly.

The types of pain which has been treated successfully with MSM include: Personal injury due to accidents, burns, etc. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis Fibromyalgia Lower back pains Headaches, migraines Muscle aches Bursitis Tennis elbows and other local sports injuries Carpal Syndrome Sclerosis; Whiplash RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury); Scars due to burns, operations, accidents, etc. The way MSM impacts pain is currently explained by the following mechanisms: MSM is a natural analgetic: it blocks the transfer of pain impulses through nerve fibers (C-fibers). MSM blocks inflammations and inflammatory processes. MSM enhances the activity of cortisol, a natural anti-inflammatory hormone produced by the body. MSM improves the permeability of cell membranes.  This improves the uptake of nutrients and many vitamins and the elimination of waste products and excess cellular fluids. MSM dilates bloood vessels, enhancing the blood circulation.  This, too, helps to eliminate waste products from the body, which speeds up healing. MSM is a muscle relaxant. This is an important and often overlooked benefit of MSM. Many chronic pains are aggrevated by chronic muscle tension in the body. MSM aids the natural defense mechanisms in the body by regulating the prostaglandin metabolism, and regulates the formation of anitbodies and immune complexes.    MSM slows down and restores crosslinking in collagen.  Crosslinking in collagen is a natural process in scar formation, causing hard and often painful scar tissues. Particularly in the case of burn scars, in which large surface areas may be affected, this may lead to chronic pain. MSM heals scar tissue which makes the skin more flexible. Dramatic examples are known of people who have treated burn scars with a MSM ointment and have seen their scars almost disappear and have eliminated associated pains.
