No, sublimed sulfur cannot be taken internally. Yes, it is toxic taken internally. Some have taken it for certain problems internally. Others have had severe problems internally. I read about some reports a while ago regarding it -- google! http://avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/MSDS/sulfur.htm --- MSDS
MSM can be used topically, but I'm not sure how effective it is. But MSM taken internally will do WONDERS for your skin (I'm talking about natural botox effects!) amongst a host of other benefits.

It is being used for the challenge. However, sulphur does not dissolve in oil Most allow it to sit carrier oils and shake up before use on scalp.
internal?

I have 2 recipes and I use sublimed sulfur. I take MSM internally 3000mg + 2000mg Vit C daily. #2 is the one I'm using on a trial basis (Aug 3-Sept 3)to see if it's more effective.
Recipe #1 – (May 1-August 2) My sulfur mix 2.5oz evco, 2.5 oz evoo, 3 oz castor oil, ¼ tsp tea tree oil, 2 tsp ppo, 1 heaping tsp sulfur, 1 tbs cayenne pepper.)
Recipe #2 – (August 3 - ) 8oz oil, 2 level teaspoons sulfur, 0.5 tsp tea tree oil, 1.5 tsp ppo.
Did u c results with the first recipe?

Yes. My normal growth rate is 0.5"
Month #1 = 1.25"
Month #2 = 1"
Month #3 = 0.6" -- I don't really count this month because I skipped 10 straight days of applying sulfur oil, skipped 12 straight days of vitamins (I was on vacation on my skipped days!), didn't massage my scalp all month.
I'm on month #4 now.

Here is nice explanation and list of carrier oils: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_oil
Generally carrier oils are light in viscosity and tend to be easily absorbed through the skin - grapeseed, jojoba, etc.
My basic recipe for sulfur oil used more of proportionally more light-weight oils with just a little castor oil to a tsp of sublimed sulfur.
Tonight I am infusing oils with nettles and horsetail. Tomorrow I plan to mix those oils with sulfur, aloe vera and whipped shea butter.

I tried just using oils and ended up getting the mix though at least half the length of my hair. I hope my shea butter based mix works...but now I'm afraid.

erplexedThank you. I didn't think it was toxic
the carrier oils are allowing it to absorb in your skin 
I'm unsure if it becomes systemic but sublime is not toxic.

No. Sublimed sulfur is not particularly toxic if ingested. It has been reported that ingestion of 60 grams have been survived. It may cause problems if taken internally for prolonged use, is what I understand. Most data speculates and when read carefully will say that there has been no real testing. Those that do should expose toxicity levels, such as this report (section 11). But even with that, there is some speculation. That aside, sublimed sulfur should be used topically, as it is also used in treatments for acne and antifungal applications. Better safe than sorry, I say.
MSM used topically has been found to leave a white residue. Some on this site have tried it and reported it in the 2010 Sulfur Challenge. There's a lot of good info on sulfur in the first post of that thread.
Sublimed sulfur will not dissolve in oil. You'll have to shake to mix it before each application. Oh, and btw, the warning that the powder may be an irritant to the skin or if inhaled is valid but, it's harmless once wet. And really, it's not as scary as it may sound. When I first used it, I wore gloves, goggles and a mask because of the warnings. It didn't take all that.
At all. But, if you breathe like Darth Vader, you may need a mask.
Anywho, sharing my two cents.
