Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM). Sulfur is
found in every cell of all animals and plants on
Earth. MSM is an easily-absorbable, odorless, organic
form of sulfur which is a derivative of
DMSO. If the body is deficient in sulfur, there is
a stiffening and hardening of cell walls which acts
to trap allergy-producing foreign substances within
the cells. MSM combats both environmental and
food allergy symptoms by increasing the permeability
of cell membranes, enabling allergenic foreign
particles including free radicals to be more
easily excreted from the cells. MSM has been
shown to be as effective in the treatment of allergies
as traditional antihistaminic drugs such as
Chlor-Trimeton,® Benedryl,® and Allegra.® MSM
is discussed in detail in the section on Arthritis.
AllerPhase.® Only recently available in the
West, AllerPhase is a natural formulation consisting
of 10 traditional Chinese herbs. It not only
quickly and safely relieves allergic symptoms, but
also attacks the root problem by exerting an immune-
normalizing (balancing) effect. Many who
have used AllerPhase report that after using only
one bottle, their symptoms did not return even
after discontinuing the product. To order Aller-
Phase, contact Tango Advanced Nutrition, (866)
778-2646, or visit www.puretango.com.

Curcumin. The Journal of Neuroscience20 reported
in 2001 that curcumin, an extract of the
spice turmeric, reduces inflammation and amyloid
plaque deposits in animals. The study authors
reported that although long-term use of ibuprofen
suppressed inflammation and amyloid plaquerelated
pathology in an Alzheimer’s transgenic
mouse model, excessive use of NSAIDS can cause
gastrointestinal, liver, and kidney toxicity. With
low-dose but not high-dose curcumin, insoluble
beta-amyloid (Abeta), soluble Abeta, and plaque
burden were significantly reduced by 43-50%.
Other natural, side-effect free anti-inflammatories
include fish oil (such as cod liver oil), ginger,
flax oil, and feverfew. Seanol, an abstract of
brown algae, is also a powerful anti-inflammatory.
For a discussion of its many medicinal uses,
see Seanol under General Treatment Methods.
(As anti-inflammatories, these substances also are
useful in treating arthritis and many other conditions
where inflammation is a component.)
CT Scan—useful in diagnosing appendicitis and
excluding other diseases. The helical CT scan is
about 98% accurate in diagnosing appendicitis. Surgery of any type is a serious procedure,
and should be considered only as a final option.
![Page 3: Forbiden Treatments2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081822/563dba28550346aa9aa33544/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Particularly in the case of appendectomy (removal
of the appendix), there is an additional factor
to consider. The wall of the appendix contains lymphatic
tissue which is part of the immune system,
the body’s front-line defense against illness and
disease. Before consenting to (possibly unnecessary)
surgery, it would be prudent to first employ
helical CT imaging and, if indicated, laparoscopy
to finalize the diagnosis and ensure its accuracy.
Also, if appendicitis is caught in the early stages
of infection, a large dose of antibiotics will sometimes
Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM). The yellow,
non-metallic mineral sulfur is the 16th most
abundant mineral element in the soil and the 4th
most prominent mineral found in the human body,
following calcium, phosphorus and potassium. The
fact that sulfur is found in every cell of all animals
and plants on Earth underscores its essential role
in all living things.
MSM, also known as dimethylsulfone, should
not be confused with sulfa drugs, sulfite (a food
preservative), or sulfate (a salt of sulfuric acid),
which are inorganic forms of the mineral. The use
of MSM does not typically affect those who are
allergic or otherwise sensitive to these inorganic
forms of the mineral.
MSM is a derivative of DMSO, discussed in
![Page 4: Forbiden Treatments2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081822/563dba28550346aa9aa33544/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
the section on Pain Relievers. Although MSM and
DMSO are chemically similar, each substance has
its own unique set of properties. Of the two, MSM
is considered the “nutritional” sulfur. Sulfur maintains
the permeability within cell membranes,
making certain that nutrients reach critical cell
components, and that cellular waste byproducts
are efficiently excreted. It is this specific attribute
of MSM that is the basis of many of its healthenhancing
benefits. Roughly 50% of the body’s total sulfur content
is found in the muscles, skin and bones. Sulfur
is a constituent of keratin, the tough fibrous
protein substance that forms the principal matter
of nails, hair and skin, as well as the horns of animals.
It is a required ingredient in the production
of collagen, which is the principal ingredient of
cartilage as well as the body’s connective tissues.
Supplementing with MSM in the range of
2,000-10,000 mg daily in divided doses with meals
often provides effective and prolonged relief to
arthritis sufferers, particularly when taken over a
period of several months. It is an analgesic, antiinflammatory,
and blood vessel dialator. Additionally,
it reduces muscle spasms, and has a normalizing
effect on the immune system.16
MSM is a powerful healing agent and its use
should not be overlooked. Although many “arthritis
formulas” include MSM in their list of ingredients,
![Page 5: Forbiden Treatments2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081822/563dba28550346aa9aa33544/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
because the best effectiveness is obtained at
relatively high dosages, it should be considered
being taken by itself at the quantities mentioned,
up to 15 gm daily. MSM is available as crystals, in
capsules or as a gel. For more information, visit
www.jacoblab.com, or search online for “methylsulfonylmethane.”
n Lyprinol.® The Maori are the indigenous peoples
of New Zealand. Traditionally, Maori believe
that eating a specific type of mussel—the greenlipped
mussel (Perna canaliculus)—brings them
good health and a long life. Among the Maori living
in the costal areas where there is ready access
to the mussel, both osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis
are virtually unknown. Research into the anti-arthritic qualities of the
green-lipped mussel began in 1973. Over decades
of painstaking research, the active ingredients were
identified, stabilized, and subsequently marketed
under the trade name Lyprinol. The active ingredients
of Lyprinol are a specific type of polyunsaturated
fatty acids known as eicosatetraenoic
acids, which are related to omega-3 fatty acids
found in fish, flax seed, and other oils known for
their significant anti-inflammatory effects.
Direct comparison tests have been made between
Lyprinol and other oils known for their antiinflammatory
and anti-arthritic qualities including
flax, evening primrose, Norwegian salmon, and the
![Page 6: Forbiden Treatments2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081822/563dba28550346aa9aa33544/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
high-potency fish oil MaxEPA.® Lyprinol proved
to be the most effective by reducing swelling 79%.
MaxEPA reduced swelling by 50%, but at a far
higher dosage. The anti-inflammatory constituents
in Lyprinol are some 200 times more potent than
high-potency fish oil and 350 times more potent
than evening primrose oil.
Comparing the effectiveness of Lyprinol to
the mainstream pharmaceutical indomethacin, at
5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for both treatments,
Lyprinol reduced swelling in 97% of the
cases versus 83% for the indomethacin group.
Lyprinol was found non-toxic and side-effect free.
Lyprinol is typically taken orally, but can also
be administered topically by opening the capsule
and rubbing the liquid into the affected areas. To
determine its availability worldwide, visit www.
lyprinol.com/home.htm. In the U.S., it’s available
as Lyprinol from Enzymatic Therapy.
