Sulphur
is a mineral found in rather high concentrations
in our body tissues. About half of the body’s
total sulfur is concentrated in the muscles,
while the other half is found in the brain,
hair, skin, and bones. Sulphur comprises 0.25
percent of our body weight.
Sulphur has vital relationship with protein,
since sulphur is found in the amino acids methionine,
cystine, and cysteine. Thus, these amino acids
are known as the sulphur-bearing amino acids,
which are considered the building blocks of
protein.
The sulphur-bearing amino acid methionine, which
is also found in Unlimited Plus II,
is absolutely essential to health! This means
it must be supplied by live food, or the food
supplement Unlimited MSM. A
lack of proper protein in our diet means a lack
of the vital organic sulphur necessary to good
health. Proteins contain sulphur, while carbohydrates
and fats do not.
Sulphur is necessary for collagen synthesis.
Collagen is an insoluble fibrous protein found
in vertebrates (having a backbone, or spinal
column) as the dominant component of connective
tissue fibrils and bones. Sulphur operates as
synthesizer and activator with the B vitamins
thiamine, vitamin C, biotin, and pantothenic
acid, which are needed for metabolism and healthy
nerves.
Sulphur plays an important part in tissue breathing,
the process whereby oxygen and other substances
are used to build cells and release energy.
Sulphur also helps to maintain overall body
balance between acidity and alkalinity, and
works importantly with the liver to secrete
bile.
Unlimited MSM is the flexible
bond between proteins. When a cell dies, a new
cell takes its place. But, without the needed
amount of MSM, it attaches
but becomes rigid. When tissues lose their flexibility,
problems develop with the lungs and other parts
of the body.
When we process our foods with heat or drying,
we lose most of the MSM that
is vital to our well being. Unlimited MSM helps
our bodies utilize the supplements that we take
thereby providing the means for us to derive
the maximum benefit from them.
Research indicates that perhaps sulphur’s
most important health role is in carbohydrate
metabolism, which is significant for hypoglycemics
and diabetics. Sulphur is a significant component
of insulin, the protein hormone secreted by
the pancreas that is essential to the metabolism
of carbohydrates. The lack of nutritional sulphur
in the diet can result in low insulin production
on the other had, a diet that contains adequate
amounts of sulphur might increase the body’s
ability to produce insulin to the point where
insulin injections can be reduced.
Because nutritional sulphur helps keep skin,
hair and nails healthy, it has been referred
to as nature’s beauty mineral”.
For outstanding results supplement Unlimited
MSM along with Unlimited Biotin.
Unlimited MSM is an odorless
essentially tasteless, white crystalline product
that demonstrates usefulness as a dietary supplement
in man and lower animals. Research suggests
that a minimum concentration in the body may
be critical to both normal function and structure.
The
following abnormal conditions have responded
to oral MSM:
(1)
Response to allergy. Oral MSM
moderates diverse allergic responses as to pollen
and foods. Anti-allergy medication and desensitization
methods may be sharply reduced.
(2) Control of hyperacidity.
Chronic users of various antacids and histamine
H2 receptor antagonists prefer MSM
by reason of relief obtained coupled with freedom
from serious, untoward effects.
(3) Hypersensitivity to drugs.
Subjects demonstrating drug hypersensitivity
as to aspirin, several non-steroid anti-arthritic
agents (Naprosyn, Indocin, Motrin), and oral
antibiotics, were drug tolerant when MSM
was given within an hour before or concurrent
with the sensitizing drug.
(4) Control of Constipation.
Particularly in the older population, chronic
constipation can be a medical problem of concern.
To date, over 50 subjects presenting chronic
constipation have gained prompt and continuing
relief by supplementing the diet with 100 to
500 mg of MSM per day.
(5) Some individuals with severely
restricted lung function. Of these, only a few
cooperated in vital function assessments. All
cooperated in endurance measurements, however.
Limited objective and strong subjective evidence
suggests that MSM is a useful
dietary supplement to reduce lung dysfunction.
(6) Anti-parasitic action.
In vitro and in vivo tests suggest MSM
has an activity against a variety of medically
important parasitic problems. Thus far, work
has concentrated on parasitic problems of the
intestinal and urogenital tracts. MSM,
for example, is active against Giardia, Trichomonads,
and round worms. MSM may affect
such infections by competing for binding or
receptor sites at the mucous membrane surface,
presenting a blocking interface between host
and parasite.
