This book was great!

I needed to increase my understanding of MSM because it’s such a popular supplement, with so many different benefits, and in the past few years it has become one of Dr. Wallach’s favorite recommendations.

This book definitely helped me understand it better. I didn’t know how much documentation is behind this substance and it is very impressive.

I’m not going to explain all the benefits here (will probably do a podcast episode on it soon - Notus & Friends podcast). But one thing that stood out to me is MSM appears to be better at bringing down inflammation than other sulfur supplements (glucosamine, chondroitin). We use all three of these and others in practice, and I didn’t understand why one would be better than the others in certain cases.

Inflammation is usually part of all bone/joint/connective tissue problems, but MSM is not as good at actually rebuilding tissues as glucosamine etc. This really matters in a lot of cases and now that I know this I will change the way I handle some of these problems.

Of course, keep in mind, sulfur is only one of the 90 essential nutrients. Best results won’t come from any of these sulfurs by themselves. These are best used in conjunction with a complete supplement regiment, and smart food choices.
