Dr. Earl Mindell's MSM Miracle
Enhance Your Health with Organic Sulfur
By Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D. and Virginia Hopkins, M.A.

In this guide, you will learn how to use an organic form of sulfur, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) to maximize your health and well-being.

You will discover its remarkable therapeutic properties in relieving arthritis pain, nourishing hair and nails to fight parasites, clearing up allergies, dealing with digestive problems and assisting with wound healing, eye problems, cramps, stress, and snoring.

Excerpts from Book
Long before there were any animals or vegetation on earth there were huge deposits of pulverized minerals. Primeval rains washed minerals into the seas, triggering development of the first life forms.

Minerals are inorganic elements. While our bodies can synthesize some vitamins, the fact that minerals are inorganic means that no living things, plant or animal, is able to manufacture or create them. Minerals, however, are able to bond with other molecules in animals and plants, giving them different properties without actually changing the chemical structure of the minerals themselves.

You can always count on Mother Nature to find a way, and she has provided and easy path for minerals to nourish the human body. Plants need minerals to function, and readily absorb them. They take up minerals, including sulfur, from the soil where they grow. When minerals have been converted and bound to carbon by plants, the human body can easily absorb them from the vegetables, fruits and other plants we eat as well as from the meat and milk. All humans (excluding vegetarians) meet their mineral needs by eating both plants and animals, and drinking water. The "organic" minerals found in plants and animals are in a form easier for the body to absorb and utilize than the inorganic forms.

While humans can tolerate a deficiency of vitamins for awhile, even the slightest change in the level of certain minerals may endanger health and survival. Vitamins cannot function without minerals present. When you consider that as many as 22 minerals have been recognized as necessary for optimal human health, you can begin to appreciate the need to eat a cariety of foods and supplements for your body to stay functional.

Though sulfur is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body, found in every cell, its powers as a nutrient are often overlooked. Dr. Earl Mindell explains how an organic form of sulfur has shown important therapeutic value in arthritis, diabetes, allergy, wound healing, eye problems, cramps, stress, and even snoring.

At best, additives and preservatives offer no nutritional benefit. At worst, they represent a threat to your health and may even prove fatal. Sulfites, for example, destroy vitamin B1, bring on ashtma attacks and stimulate allergies. Normally, sulfite is converted to a harmless sulfate form in the presence of the trace element molybdenum. If, however, molybdenum is deficient or missing, the key enzyme responsible for this conversion cannot be activated. Watch out for sulfites in foods such as dried fruits, processed potatoes, and other prepared items, where it may occur as sulfur dioxide, sodium soulfite, or sodium or potassium bisulfite (and metabisulfite).

Those who are susceptible and react negatively to inorganic forms of sulfur as sulfites or sulfa drugs, are typically not similarly affected by beneficial organic sulfur compounds, some of which we'll be discussing in the following chapter.

A number of nutritional supplements that benefit nearly every part of the body contain sulfur. The sulfur groups that MSM contributes to participate in a variety of ways. Some of the major sources and compunds whose activity are dependent on sulfur are summarized in this section.

Glutathione - This amino acid is a tripeptide made from the sulfur-bearing amino acid cxysteine plus glycine and glutamic acid. Glutathione is produced mainly in the liver. It is found in the cells of nearly all living organisms on Earth, and its principal function is waste disposal. When there are free radicals threatening to start an oxidation reaction, glutathione neutralizes them and often transfers them to another antioxidant such as Vitamin E. In the liver, glutathione attaches to toxic substances and binds to them in a form the liver can excrete without being damaged. Glutathione also prevents red blood cells from being damaged by neutralizing unstable forms of oxygen.
