DMSO is fantastic for burns. I always keep it in my kitchen.

MSM is the variation for humans, DMSO is for horses.

I stopped MSM because it was so effective at eliminating inflammation I began to suspect it was holding me back in the weightlifting department but after reading how good it is for auto-immune, joints, connective tissue etc I started back up at 1/2 teaspoon.

Has anyone had good/bad experience with MSM ?

What has been your experience with that half teaspoon?

I've been taking glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM supplements for years as a prophylactic against arthritis. I don't have arthritis, and I don't want any, thank you very much.

I never considered that it might be useful for my UC. Thanks for pointing that out.

I was using 1 heaping teaspoonful and felt great and bone-on-bone arthritis in basal thumb joint was starting to be forgotten using it more and gripping tightly.

But my workouts were not making me stronger etc however I think that is because too much carbs drifted into my diet. Since knocking those out I feel like a freight train.

Here is a good link with a lengthy list of positive effects :

Autoimmune Diseases

MSM very effectively fights inflammations resulting from autoimmune reactions

Protection of the Mucosa

Additional experiments with MSM containing radiolabeled sulfur demonstrated that after ingestion, MSM is bound to the mucosa.
