Always feel better when I took that, have not taken any in quite a while. Our diets are practically devoid of sulfur.

Interesting.

It reminded me of something that was presented as a cure for Parkinson's - in India as far as I remember.

It consisted of eating garlic (very rich in Sulfur) on an empty stomach, one clove on the first day, two the second day, three the third day... and so on until 21 cloves on the 21st day. Then backwards during 21 days. Parkinson's cured in 6 weeks (*)

I did not try. Any volunteer?

it reminded me of that, too. i think it was in one of the comments on fred phillips' blog.

[Xenos in reply to _Eureka]

Could be there... I like FredPhillips blog a lot. Very nice person, and a very good writer too.

I did 3 days of the garlic. Just couldn't stomach it. But boy if it cured me I'd be grateful. Anyone do 21 days?

[Xenos in reply to Beverly2017]

3 days i.e 3 cloves? You'r such a small player Beverly

There is a side effect though, if you go through the whole process : you wake up cured, but talking with a French accent.

[Beverly2017 in reply to Xenos]

Aren't you supposed to add aa clove

[Beverly2017 in reply to Beverly2017]

Each da

[Beverly2017 in reply to Beverly2017]

Whoops. I keep pushing the wrong button...blame it on the Parkinson's. Anyway I was nauseous after 2 cloves. My stomach is super sensitive. Sinamet causes me to feel sick so 3 cloves of garlic.. forget it...but I'd take a French accent over PD any day!!!

My husband just started taking msm and says he feels good. Does anyone know if it's ok to take msm with Parkinson's meds (azilect, sinemet, pramipexole)?

Hi Parkie13, The article was exploring the benefits of hydrogen sulfide. It did not mention MSM. The only association is the sulfur they have in common. Is this why you connected the two? (I guess if it were as simple as that, we could chug sulfuric acid for its health benefits. Okay, just kidding )

[parkie13 in reply to lempa_nik]

yes, just getting more sulfur into your body

Has anyone tried MSM Sulfur?

[parkie13 in reply to Kia17]

I used it for quite a while years ago. I bought it in bulk at the health food store, MSN is an inexpensive product. I dissolved it in water and just drenked it. It unstuffed my nose so I was able to breathe easily. You don't want to take it before going to bed or it might keep you awake. I never had any side effects from it. Did not know it was a precursor of glutathione but it makes sense. It is also good for parasites in your gut, bacterial or small parasites.

Many thanks for sharing your experience.

Msm is a precursor to glutathione. So is the sulphur in garlic. Very powerful stuff in our fight.

“MSM’s sulfur also plays an important role in the production of glutathione, considered to be a “master antioxidant” and an important agent for detoxification.”
