I found this online and I thought the first paragraph might interest you.
About MSM
MSM is a natural sulfur compound found in every cell of the body. Next
to oxygen, water, and salt, MSM is the fourth most common compound in
the body. Sulfur is involved in practically all of the body's metabolic
processes and is essential for cell regeneration and nourishment.
Approximately half of the total body sulfur is found in the muscles,
skin and bones. Sulfur is needed for making collagen, the primary
component of cartilage and connective tissue...this is not the same
sulpher that is in sulfer medications that so many people are allergic
to, it is the natural sulpher that our bodies produce. Our bodies
utilize MSM/sulpher for:
· Maintaining proper functioning of the immune system
· Building healthy connective tissues
· Proper joint function
· Maintaining enzyme activity (it's even been found to help candida)
· Regulating hormone balance
MSM is necessary for collagen synthesis: skin, hair and nails (bones,
muscles and organs). It softens the tissue, relieves stress, asthma,
arthritis, inflammation, constipation, candida, detoxifies the body and
increases blood circulation, reduces muscle cramps and back pain,
permits muscles to heal, increases energy, mental calmness and improves
the ability to concentrate. MSM has both analgesic and anti-inflammatory
properties and plays a role in removing free radicals and foreign
proteins from the body

Thanks Mly3e! I was thinking on similar lines. I appreciate you getting that info for me. I may have to start with a small dosage just to be on the safe side and keep my benedryl near!lol Maybe I won't be allergic to the natural MSM afterall! Wish me luck!
) anyway, I just haven't taken it on a regular basis; only when I remember, which isn't very often...
I think I'm gonna make it a point now, to remember!!
