From link above: 'After taking the organic sulfur crystals in November of 2008 for 10 days my asthma reversed and has not come back over 2 years later. '

OS has a cleansing or "detoxifying" effect on the cells within the body. It allows the body to remove toxins that have accumulated in all types of cells, including fat cells.
The suggested usage is 1 teaspoon full twice per day - one in the morning and one in the evening – dissolved in hot water. Or, simply put the crystals in your mouth and chew them, or put a tablespoon in a liter or quart bottle, fill it with water and drink it all day. If you drink orange juice after taking the crystals, it tastes as sweet as fruit punch. It is also important to drink 1 to 2 quarts or liters of water daily as the water facilitates the transport of oxygen to the cells. The reason the OS is taken twice a day is because the sulfur leaves the body in 12 hours.
An essential fact about oxygen is that a virus, aka the flu, cannot exist in an oxygenated environment. In other words, taking OS means that you will not get the flu nor will you have a reaction to a flu shot, should you choose to get one.
OS is not a drug or prescription medicine. It is actually a nutrient, or a food that the body can consume.
OS increases enzyme production within the glands in the body, substantially increasing overall resistance to illness.
OS increases flexibility in the tissues within the body and increases blood circulation.
OS reduces muscle inflammation, promotes healing in the muscles and prevents them from becoming sore. To the degree there is soreness, recovery and return to normality is quickened. Athletes, in particular, benefit from this as the intake of additional OS dramatically increases their recovery time.
OS eliminates so-called "free radicals" in the body. Allergies to pollens and certain foods can be reduced or eliminated by its use.
OS promotes healthy, increased growth of hair and fingernails.
OS has been studied for possible anti-cancer effects. Because of the oxygenation of the cells and tissues, which creates an aerobic environment, cancer cells cannot exist.
OS studies have shown the reversal of osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
OS aids in healthy skin production and the reduction of "wrinkles". It is one of the main ingredients in moisturizing creams.
OS helps the body properly regulate insulin production. Adequate OS in the diet can reduce the need for insulin injections.
OS helps in reducing and often eliminating diverticulitis. Parasites living in the colon are unable to remain attached to the colon walls on which OS forms a smooth, resistant coating. Hatching worms, having nothing to grab on to, are flushed out.
OS helps alleviate emphysema. It provides the body with material to manufacture new, healthy cells, on lung walls.
OS, because of its ability to make cell walls more permeable, causes the body to rapidly release alcohol "hangover" toxins, removing them as waste from the body. The process happens far more rapidly than it takes to recover from a hangover, often as quickly as 20 minutes.
OS helps alleviate chronic headaches. Increased circulation in the brain cells promotes proper blood circulation within the brain. Less pressure and pain result, reducing tendencies for headaches.
OS reduces hypoglycemia in the body because it has made it easier for the body to introduce blood sugar through more permeable cell walls. Less insulin is demanded for the process, resulting in less overuse of the pancreas. Several months of consistent OS usage can reduce or eliminate hypoglycemia entirely.
OS helps alleviate PMS. Glandular production in enhanced by OS to have more "normal" levels of production. Acid levels, enzyme levels and hormonal levels are more evenly balanced with OS. Cramps, headaches and nausea from the monthly cycle can be reduced or eliminated through its use.
OS helps promote better kidney function more efficiently. Water retention problems due to bad kidney function can be alleviated.
OS can help alleviate eye problems. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of sulfur crystals in 4 ounces of water and us as eye drops as frequently as you like.
OS produces essential amino acids and vitamin B-12 in the body and delivers omega-3 essential fatty acids throughout the body.
*To derive the maximum benefits from MSM, it must be in the form of organic crystals and lignin (wood) based .
So it's not the powdered form with additives in capsules that are beneficial but rather the natural crystal form. I'm wondering, if some types of lignin derived from specific types of wood/trees (Evergreens?) would be even better? Sounds like nature has a cure for everything...yep..bet it does!
