PARKINSON’S DISEASE (PD)
PARKINSON’S DISEASE (PD)
Note: This information is not part of Dr. Jacob’s book.
I address this disease here because of the known benefits of MSM discovered by Dr. Jacob, which may help more than ten million people with PD worldwide.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is movement disorder of the nervous system that gets worse over time. It happens when brain cells that make dopamine, a protein that coordinates movement is weakened or die.
It usually happens after seventy, but some people are diagnosed with the disease around fifty.
Like in many diseases, the cause of PD remains largely unknown. Scientists believe the cause is a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Because of my over ten years research on the importance of Dr. Jacob’s DMSO and MSM research discoveries, and the last twenty years of MSM published peer reviewed studies, I believe that MSM may help these sufferers.
As we see in SULFUR, sulfur is a major ingredient of important amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are the primary constituents of enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and countless biochemical activities continually going on in the body. Proteins also provide the structural raw material of the musculoskeletal system, hair, teeth, blood, brain, skin, and the other organs of the body. If you do not get enough protein, you suffer all over. In children, a sulfur deficiency retards growth. In adults, it shows up as chronic fatigue, mental depression, weakness, poor resistance to infection, and slow healing from wounds or disease.
However, I am even more confident that MSM will protect people before the brain is affected by the disease, just as it has been found in many peer reviewed published studies, for cancer and other diseases.
I doubt that MSM can help restore the portion of the brain of the people already affected by the disease, but I believe it may stop the progression of the disease by protecting the remaining cells from degrading.
Again, like in all other diseases, what is important is that if a person is already affected by PD, the person can take the MSM nutritional supplement and hope that it will stop the disease in its track or at least slow its progress.
As for the rest of us, not diagnosed with this disease, MSM should give us the hope that PD will not affect us.
We know that MSM does not interact with any medication, it is a natural constituent of our body, our body needs it, it is vastly available and inexpensive, and because of its anti-inflammatory and increased blood flow properties, it may bring increased healthy proteins to the brain to keep the brain cells that make dopamine alive.
As we saw in ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE, a similar brain disease, exercise provides greater blood flow to the brain and helps slow the disease’s progress.
It sure does not cost much to try using MSM, a fully nontoxic natural process that does not interact with any medication and without any of the medications side effects and their excessive cost.
Do not stop any of the medications you may be already on, just take the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement as a complement to your existing treatment. You and your doctor may happily be surprised by the results.
It is suggested to take 2,000 to 6,000 mg of MSM daily in the form of crystals or capsules to see if it helps. Start with the lower dose and increase slowly as you go until you reach the level that seems to bring a change without giving you any side effect (diarrhea) .
Dr. Jacob suggested to start with 2,000 mg per day and increase the dosage by 2,000 mg after two weeks. One can start with the capsules but once you get to 4,000 mg per day or eight 500 mg capsules a day, you may want to use the crystals from 6,000 mg per day and mix it in your daily fluid intake as I explained in “What is MSM” earlier.
What is important to understand is that these elderly sufferers already have a long term sulfur deficiency and MSM will also help them with other elderly health conditions they may already experience.
