Sharon 2/8/2010 5:26:07 PM | Thanks so much for the feedback, John. I am thinking (imagining?) that I may be seeing an improvement in my symptoms, and that they may be related to MSM. I have increased my intake to 4 grams a day and was worried that I might be overdosing. I am so grateful to see the range you specified is in the normal therapeutic range. I think I will experiment with this for a few days until I get enough feedback from my body to make a decision on how much to take. I also am very curious as to whether the MSM itself or possible detox effects are causing the acid response. Thank you again for replying. :) |

As I see it, Mel implemented some rules on his site to prevent people from coming here and presenting products or ideas that are unproven and/or potentially harmful. It might be argued that MMS is potentially harmful, but at least Mel has tested it on himself (as he has every product in the protocol) and has every reason to believe that it is in the best interest of his site visitors to try it for themselves. Mel's focus is safety first; and before we bring it before this community, let us test it until we are convinced of its merits. After all, he already knows firsthand how well his protocol works. The sulfur (MSM) question is one that currently has me intrigued and somewhat baffled. Some of the claims being made for MSM (especially in regard to biofilms) are being backed with explanations that scientifically leave something to be desired, so the process of trying to separate the wheat from the chaff is taking longer than I had hoped. I can tell you that biofilms are a profound and highly complex aspect of degenerative illnesses like Morgellons, and it is extremely unlikely that they will prove uniformly susceptible to any single silver bullet such as MSM. However, the facts are there for the taking if we put the right research into place. Thankfully, that process has begun. There is no question in my mind that most people are sulfur deficient just as they are magnesium deficient, and I am convinced that MSM offers a wide spectrum of tangible benefits. Furthermore, I am convinced that most people who have tried MSM and found no benefit from it did not take enough. That said, I am concerned that prolonged megadosing with anything rarely works out well in medicine, whether natural or pharmaceutical. The reason is that all biological systems constantly seek balance. so while short term megadosing may be advisable to correct an imbalance, the goal should always be restoring balance. Not that your 2,000 mg dose should be characterized as megadosing (the therapeutic dose of MSM for most people is likely 2 to 6 grams). Why are you testing acid since you started taking it? Is it the MSM or is it a result of the detox end products being generated? Interesting questions; I am looking into it and will report back when we get some clarity. Thanks for sharing your concerns, and please keep us all posted on your progress. Blessings, John |
