[struna]

Sulphur, U S P Grade, Pwd or Diatomaceous Earth what is the different?

Sulphur- taste nasty it's yellow I feel like I'm taking poison

Diatomaceous Earth-taste like chalk I can handle it.

I think you should do a search to find our the differences between the two. What reasons do you have for taking either? Hair growth, better health? What? For me, I take DE. I've never used a sulphur product.

MSM is the form of sulfur you should be taking internally
PLEASE DONOT TAKE ANYMORE SUBLIMED SULFUR!


My bad I just saw the food grade. Whew! You scared me..

What is MSM?

Other names: methyl sulfonyl methane
MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane) is a compound found naturally in foods such as cow's milk, meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables.
MSM is thought to work by contributing sulfur. It's found in capsule or tablet forms. MSM is also available as a cream or lotion, although evidence suggests it can't be absorbed through skin.
Why Do People Use MSM

Osteoarthritis
Two small studies suggest MSM may reduce osteoarthritis pain. MSM is often combined with glucosamine in commercial arthritis products. It's thought to work because of the sulfur, which is believed to strengthen collagen. More evidence is needed.
Interstitial cystitis
MSM has been proposed as a treatment for interstitial cystitis, although human studies are needed.

Snoring
One small, preliminary study found that MSM resulted in quieter snoring.
Other Conditions

MSM has been explored for cancer prevention, scleroderma, allergies and constipation.
Side Effects and Safety

Side effects with MSM are rare but may include stomach upset, headache and diarrhea. One study suggested MSM was safe for up to 12 weeks.
The safety of MSM in pregnant or nursining women, children, or people with liver or kidney disease, however, isn't known.

Although sulfur does have some detoxyfying effects on the body DE also removes heavy metals and parasites.

Both have similar benefits like, increased joint fluidity, lowers blood pressure, faster nail growth. Just to name a few. Can't speak on the hair although some people have been reporting growth spurts with DE. MSM did seem to thicken my hair a bit.

Both make my skin beautifully smooth and firm.
DE also gives users a good restful nights sleep. I'm not sure about food grade sulphur, but MSM users reported very vivid dreams.

While using DE I have noticed increased weight loss and less craving for sugar. Where as the MSM made me gain weight. Again, can't speak for the yellow sulphur...
