MSM I Love This Product! I Feed This to My Horses to Help with a Range of Things
MSM– I love this product! I feed this to my horses to help with a range of things.
- Arthritis – MSM restores flexibility to the protein layers of the cell wall – allowing fluids to pass through tissue more easily. This softens the tissues and helps to equalize pressure and reducing the cause of pain. By doing this, MSM treats the cause of the inflammation unlike aspirin which would treat the symptom by shutting off the nerve.
- Muscle soreness/cramps – The nerves which sense pain are mainly located in the soft tissue areas like muscles. Nerves register the pain as cells swell and become inflamed. Rigid fibrous tissues lack flexibility and movement becomes stilted, horse becomes bracey in his movements due to this. MSM restores flexibility of cell walls and allows water to pass through the muscles therefore reducing or even eliminating muscle soreness/leg cramps and back cramps altogether. I have seen this on my own horse during her re-hab training with classical dressage training. She had 5 fractures up her face/neck as a baby and has a severely dysfunctional rigid/crooked spine. I have had her on this MSM the whole time during her training and she has been successfully rehabilitated using the non-force approach to classical principles (with Peter Acton of Classical horses Australia).
- Anti-Parasitic action – MSM has shown amazing anti-parasite action against Giardia, Trichomonas, Roundworms, Nematodes, and other intestinal worms. When parasites attach to the intestinal lining they can live, reproduce and rob the body of nutrients indefinitely. MSM blocks parasites by competing for receptor sites on the mucous membrane walls. When the parasites cannot attach themselves – they are simply flushed out of the body.
THESE ARE THE REASOPNS WHY I TAKE MSM MYSELF
Diabetes – Sulphur (MSM) is also a component of insulin, the hormone that regulates carbohydrate metabolism. Insufficient sulphur results in decreased insulin production. It is also possible that the lack of available sulphur in the body would make the cells so rigid that they become unable to absorb sugar from the blood sufficiently, leaving blood sugar levels elevated. MSM balances blood sugar and allows the overwork pancreas to return to normal.
While I don’t have diabetes myself – I do have highs and lows brought about by physical stress and since taking MSM I have noticed these almost gone – unless of course I forget to take it!
Asthma - I have suffered with asthma for many years – brought about by dust! And horses create a LOT of dust! This allergy is the body’s reaction to something foreign in the body. MSM quickly restores the rigid cells that are created by the allergic reactions by allowing more fluid into the cells, thus softening the cells and allowing the toxins to be flushed through the system before it can create any damage! What a super supplement!
Of course I also have now a lot more energy whilst on MSM together with a small dose of apple cider vinegar I can get through my day without having to collapse at the end of it!
Rest assured - I trial ALL my products for at least 6 months to a year before I put them to use in my business. All of my products are human grade where possible – but these are VERY expensive – so if I can source agricultural grade for the horses I will do so – and advise clients of this. You can usually get the human grade product from Flannery’s (I will advise).
