MSM (Methyl Sulphonyl Methane) Helps Asthma and Allergies
Methyl Sulphonyl Methane, commonly called MSM, is an essential nutrient for anyone suffering asthma or allergies. MSM is a natural component of the body and contributes sulphur to the body.
Sulphur exists in the body in the form of ‘Sulphonyl’ found in MSM – Methyl Sulphonyl Methane. Sulphur in this form is the 4th most abundant mineral in the body. Its deficiency is known to cause many chronic diseases, particularly in the supporting structures of the body such as the joints, bones, tendons and muscles and the internal structures of organs like the lungs.
Scientists believe that MSM performs the role of reducing allergies by stabilizing the supporting membrane of cells. The human body is composed of over 100 billion cells. Each cell is wrapped in a protective membrane to contain its contents and to protect it from damage. MSM is a crucial component of the cell membrane, and its deficiency will lead to instability and hypersensitivity of the cell membrane which is observed in those suffering asthma and allergic diseases.
The benefits of MSM for those suffering asthma is that it improves the physical strength of the lungs, making them less susceptible to asthma attacks. MSM also increases cell membrane stability and by doing so reduces the airway hypersensitivity, which in turn reduces the incidence of asthmatic attacks. MSM is also a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and will contribute to lowering the high rates of inflammatory and damaging processes seen in asthma and allergies.
MSM is needed in very large quantities to perform this function. For this reason, it is preferable that MSM powder is used for therapy as against taking the tablets and capsules that contain too little MSM. The recommended dose of MSM powder for people with asthma and those suffering severe allergies is two teaspoons of the powder dissolved in a glass of water taken in the morning, afternoon and night. Those with mild allergies can take a small dose of one teaspoon three times daily.
MedB MSM is produced from Non-GMO organic corn, unlike many other brands of MSM produced from GMO corn.
Pure organic MSM is far more effective in healing the airways and lungs than ordinary MSM.
