SKIN
Our skin, the largest organ in the body, contains an average of three hundred million cells, sheds thirty thousand to forty thousand cells a minute, for an average of approximately nine pounds a year. This means our body not only needs sulfur for its good structure and good functioning but also needs a lot of sulfur just to replace all the cells of our body that die every day.
The human skin is renewed every twenty-eight days. It is believed that half of the total dust found in a home is made of dead skin cells.
The skin makes up 15% of the total body weight and is one of the organs that contain the most MSM and suffers the most from our diet lack of sulfur rich food. Which means that the primary cause to look for in any skin disease may be related to a lack of sulfur.
As seen below, many skin conditions have been well mitigated with the use of the MSM nutritional supplement and an MSM topical application.
It is logical because sulfur is used in pharmaceutical skin preparations for the treatment of acne and other conditions. Sulfur acts as a keratolytic agent and kills bacteria, fungi, scabies mites and other parasites.
Here is an article about sulfur soap benefits for skin care that partially supports the above paragraph:
However, there are some cons about using sulfur soap as the yellow sulfur used to make these soaps can create some problems with your clothing and even with your skin.
Most of these soaps use a 10% yellow sulfur composition made from mineral sulfur and do not have the proven characteristic of the organic sulfur in penetrating the skin. We know that the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement has a concentration of 33% organic sulfur and the MSM topical gels or lotions have a MSM concentration of 15% or an organic sulfur concentration of 5% with proven characteristics of penetrating the skin, increasing blood flow, anti-inflammatory properties, and will increase the blood’s function of clearing whatever inflammation exists.
One can see that if these sulfur soaps have any benefits, they certainly have a lot less than all the proven MSM skin benefits that have been proven by extensive clinical research to penetrate the skin.
ACNE
This section about acne is not mentioned in the book "The Miracle of MSM" because young people with acne or their parents will just buy over the counter products without even consulting with their physician. Or they may consult with their physician who will then prescribe chemical creams instead of the therapeutic MSM gel as most doctors do not know about MSM and they do not have time to read about newer discoveries and especially natural treatments.
Acne sufferers surely do not go to a pain clinic like the one that was conducted by Dr. Jacob.
Acne is caused by an inflammation of the sebaceous follicles, most often on the face, neck, and shoulders; the hair follicles become clogged by the sebaceous oil and dead skin cells. It happens because of over production of cells lining the sweat glands.
Four out of five teenagers suffer from some form of acne. One in a hundred men compared to one in twenty women are affected by this condition.
The most important information one needs to remember from this website section if you or a loved one is affected with acne, is that in many cases, doctors prescribe antibiotics to treat this condition.
There is a rare but deadly condition triggered by medications (antibiotics) often used to treat acne, seizures, and gout, which is called DRESS syndrome (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms). It’s subtle at first and then terrifyingly intense, the syndrome isn’t well known. That makes it particularly dangerous.
The syndrome affects people exposed to several commonly prescribed antibiotics and anti-seizure medications, including vancomycin, minocycline, lamotrigine, phenytoin and carbamazepine, as well as allopurinol, used to treat gout.
In the US, it is estimated that more than 7,000 people are affected by this syndrome at any time and ten percent or 700 of those die within six months.
While most DRESS cases are mild, some survivors later develop autoimmune conditions including thyroid disease, lupus or diabetes. There is limited research about these risks, however.
For more information one can go to the following website to get recommendations on how to prevent the worst
www.dresssyndromefoundation.org
As we saw in the third paragraph of this ACNE section above, acne is caused by an inflammation and in the previous second from last paragraph the DRESS syndrome mild cases can develop into autoimmune conditions lupus and diabetes which MSM has shown to help.
So before taking any medication with the risks of severe and even mild reactions, why not try the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement and use a topical natural MSM lotion or gel? Better safe than sorry.
ROSACEA
Rosacea is a skin inflammation condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in the face. It may also produce small, red, pus-filled bumps.
The most popular and trusted medical website on this condition says:
Quote: What are the treatments for rosacea?
- There is no cure for rosacea.
- The primary goal of treatment is to control redness, inflammation, and skin eruptions.
- The biggest key to control rosacea is to avoid triggers or factors that cause the skin to erupt.
- This condition may also present keloid scars.
Suggested care:
- Products include Sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur (Avar, Sulfacet, Clenia, Plexion), and antibiotics.
- Use a moisturizer. It is especially helpful in cold weather, when low temperatures and wind can dry up your skin. Oil-free is best.
- Eating an anti-inflammatory diet, like a Mediterranean diet, seems to help some people who have rosacea.
- Be careful with cosmetics. Use high-quality, oil-free makeup.
End of Quote. Underlines are from me.
As one can see, MSM is a natural sulfur nutritional supplement that will do what the above mentioned expensive suggested drugs may do. The most important therapeutic properties of MSM are anti-inflammation, it alters the collagen crosslinking, it reduces tissue and skin scarring. This indicates that MSM could reduce considerably the effects of the disease. And MSM gel and lotion are demineralized water based and oil free.
My own experience with the use of MSM nutritional supplement and MSM topical gel, together with the information in the following paragraphs, and the testimonials reported at the bottom of this section will show you that there may be no cure for rosacea, but MSM nutritional supplement may remove the effects of the body’s deficiency that cause the disease.
It comes back to the first few paragraphs of this website, most people in the medical field have not heard of MSM.
We see here the main problem affecting the medical field, drug companies try to find a drug that will change your body’s functioning, so you do not have the effect of what is not normal inside your body. These companies are not looking for what is causing the illness.
MSM will not cure your rosacea, but it may remove the symptoms if you keep taking MSM nutritional supplement and keep using the MSM massaging gel. You may be able to live a normal life like everyone else around you.
One does not need to be a rocket scientist to understand that if you have this condition, it is because something is not functioning properly in your body. There is an extremely high possibility that MSM's anti-inflammation and skin restoration properties may provide relief for your condition. It does not cost much to try a fully nontoxic natural process without medicines side effects and their excessive cost.
Please understand that MSM does not cure rosacea but will help you control it, so it does not affect your life. You will have to keep taking the MSM and use the MSM massaging gel even as a makeup base like the women in the testimonials below, if you use makeup. You will be incredibly happy you ever came to this website.
Just remember that MSM is a substance already part of the natural chemical constituents in your body.
MORBIHAN SYNDROME
Morbihan syndrome is a rare entity or clinical variety of Rosacea above and should be helped by taking the MSM supplement and using the massaging MSM gel as well.
PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is considered a skin autoimmune disease that is noncontagious and considered of genetic source.
What happens is that the body of these sufferers produces more skin cells than normal because skin cells of certain affected areas of the body instead of dying every twenty-eight days, they die every three to four days. The body ends up creating more cells to replace the dying cells and it ends up creating an excess of dead skin cells that create inflammation of the skin.
People with psoriasis often have other autoimmune diseases.
Because of MSM’s autoimmune properties, the MSM supplement and an MSM topical application helps in reducing the effects.
I know for myself, my mother had psoriasis and one of my daughter has it. I started to get some of the symptoms in my late seventies, on my elbows, but with the high dosage of MSM supplement that I take and the use of the topical MSM gel as soon as I see some symptoms. I end up mitigating the disease very well.
BOILS, INGROWN HAIRS, AND PIMPLES
A boil is a painful, pus-filled bump that forms under your skin when bacteria infect and inflame one or more of your hair follicles in hair-bearing areas where you are most likely to experience friction.
Ingrown hairs are hairs that have curled around and grown back into your skin. Pimples are the results of excess sebum and dead skin cells getting trapped in the pores of the skin. Both generate inflammation of the skin and should not be broken open in any way unless by a professional aesthetician or dermatologist.
Taking MSM works great at fighting inflammation. MSM will soften your skin and give it more elasticity which may help both conditions. Clinical experience has demonstrated that hair grows faster and gets stronger when you take MSM. MSM will also close the pores of the skin.
One can use a 15% MSM therapeutic massaging gel to accelerate the elimination of inflammation. Rub the area around the inflamed area several times a day.
This is what I do, and it does the trick in a four to five days maximum.
KELOID SCARS - SCAR TISSUE - SKIN GRAFTS
It was found years ago, in laboratory experiments and observed on many post-surgery patients, MSM alters the collagen crosslinking and by so reduces the tissue & skin scarring. That is because body tissue including the skin contain the highest concentration of sulfur in our body.
Scar tissue is the normal reaction of the body, after trauma to tissue or the skin after an accident or surgery, to reconnect back whatever has been separated. It always leaves a scar, but the scar does not have to show.
Some plastic surgeons apply DMSO to the areas of incision before and after surgery to minimize the scars.
In (2.-) below is a testimonial showing the therapeutic powers of MSM in skin graft cases and keloid scars.
CARCINOMA
Since I started taking MSM nutritional supplement and using the MSM topical gel more than twenty-five years ago, I had at least four hernia surgeries and two knee surgeries. I had at least twenty cuts (basal-cell cancer or Carcinoma), from one to four inches long, where the center part that was removed was up to half an inch wide. They were on my face, head, neck, shoulders, upper torso, back, thighs, legs, and feet, due to years of being in the ocean and sun almost every day. Many of these cuts were visible a few months after surgery but today after ten years, they are mostly invisible except for one visible scar on my shoulder, right where I had a scar and a joint displacement from a previous accident.
SKIN CARE – MAKEUP BASE
Skin care is one of the benefits of MSM since the skin is a tissue and organ that contains a high amount of sulfur like the hair and nails. MSM nutritional supplement and using the MSM massaging gel rejuvenates your skin like nothing else.
MSM’s over thirty years of clinical experience show that it is an anti-inflammatory, it increases blood flow, it rapidly reduces inflammation, and it accelerates the healing period. Sulfur works great at fighting bacteria, clarifying the skin, minimizing pores, as well as preventing and healing damage caused by blemishes. Hence, it is the body’s need for those who have acne or scar tissue. It will also keep the skin looking better once the disease is at bay.
The suggested dosage is 2,000 to 6,000 mg of MSM daily in the form of crystals or capsules. Start slowly and increase the daily dose until you see some results.
I always use the 15% MSM topical massaging gel to help eliminate the inflammation and improve the skin for anything that shows up on my skin.
Notice: Every time you use the MSM therapeutic topical gel, make sure your hands and the massaged area are clean because the MSM penetrates the skin, and one does not want to infect the skin with dirt. Also make sure that you rub the MSM gel in until your hands and the massaged area are completely dry to avoid the MSM crystals staying on top of your skin when the gel’s water evaporates. The demineralized water-based gel contains 15% MSM, which is the maximum to avoid crystallization. So, to prevent the MSM from crystallizing in the MSM gel bottle, do not forget to close the MSM gel bottle lid after use.
The book “The Miracle of MSM” reports the following testimonials:
1.- A sixty-four-year-old lady from Indian Shores, Florida, after taking 40,000 mg of MSM nutritional supplement for three years had knee surgery. When she went to see her orthopedic surgeon for her three weeks post-operation checkup, he told her that her recovery was more like a three-month recovery.
2.- In 1970, a thirty-six-year-old mechanic from Portland, Oregon, was trapped in a burning van for twenty minutes and was severally burned over a large part of his right body from the knee to the armpit.
His body ended up with extensive skin grafting with an estimated total of sixty-five feet of purple tissue keloid scars giving him pain that would keep him awake at night. He could barely walk the distance of one block. Keloid scars are overgrown scars because one’s body overreaction to trauma renders the scar very thick and hard (in some cases).
In 1987, seventeen years later, a veterinarian friend suggested he should try the MSM nutritional supplement. Three days later he can already notice a high reduction in pain.
He later started using an MSM lotion on the scar together with the MSM nutritional supplement. With time, his keloid scars were virtually all gone, and the skin looked mostly like the other side of his body. And now he can walk wherever he needs just as before the accident.
3.- A fifty-eight-year-old lady living in the dry climate of La Vegas, Nevada, has been using the MSM nutritional supplement and an MSM lotion as makeup base for more than twenty years to help with her dry skin.
4.- A fifty-five-year-old hairdresser from Burlington, Ontario, uses 10,000 mg a day of the MSM nutritional supplement for her back pain and an MSM lotion as makeup base and recommends both to her customers. All her customers who use MSM also appreciate the fact that their hair and nails grow faster and stronger.
5.- One of her customers with dermatitis was using cortisone cream for years with little benefits. The problem with cortisone is that it stops the body's natural functions.
After starting to take 5,000 mg a day of MSM nutritional supplement and massaging her face with an MSM lotion, her face and neck were mostly back to normal after five weeks.
6.- Another of her customers used the MSM lotion on her heels that were always cracking and leathery. In a matter of three to four weeks, her heels were back to normal.
