Rating: Summary: MSM is truly a miracle for pain relief! Review: Dr. Jacob and Dr. Lawrence have provided laymen with a resource that is easy to understand and full of information about our body's processes. I am a 55 year old female suffering from severe osteoarthritis pain from a ski-related injury 15 years ago. I was considering having surgery to alleviate the pain, but heard about MSM from a friend, and then found this book which gave me the facts I needed. After only one week of taking the crystals (5 grams per day), my pain was almost eliminated. I have continued taking MSM for two months now, increased to 8 grams per day with 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate daily, and have reduced my use of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) to 1 per day from 3. I hope to completely eliminate the NSAID soon. My range of motion has improved so much that I am able to ride my horse in the mountains, climb stairs, jog, etc., all without pain! Thanks for the miracle!
Rating: Summary: I found the information outstanding and highly recommend it Review: I live in Canada and found out about this book when I visited a family in the states. I suffered from tenitis in my wrist,forearm and shoulder. I started to use MSM in May 99 and read the book cover to cover in less then a week. Since then my book has been in many hands and spending the good news. I will not be without MSM and now I can work without being in pain all the time. Thank God for this. I work on Computers all day long and since I have been on MSM my life is back to normal. I loved the book.
Rating: Summary: Definitely worth reading Review: I read Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Lawrence's book when it first came out and continue to reread it periodically and learn something useful each time. I have been taking msm since 1998 for severe back pain and in just 3 days the pain was gone. For the person who said it upset her stomach try taking it with food or maybe you are taking the wrong brand if you want to learn more you can e-mail me at msm4all@aol.com.

Rating: Summary: Recommended highly! Review: I started reading the Miracle of MSM one slow night in the vitamin store I worked in. I had been plagued by allergies for a few years and they were really compromising my lifestyle. Last summer I hardly ever went outdoors. Four weeks ago I started taking MSM and less than a week later I was able to stop taking allergy and asthma meds and have basically had no symptoms of my dust, mold, pollen allergies. The book was exciting reading for me as it gave me new hope for my condition and also for someone else with back pain.
Rating: Summary: New to MSM Review: I thought the book really great. I went out and bought the MSM. I am taking 1500 mg tabs, one a day to start. I am wondering if this is enough. Also why would it cause stomach problem in some and not others. Again I thought the book informative. I also saw it on Larry King show on 4/3/2000 which really got my attention.

Rating: Summary: An Excellent Blend of Testimonials and Technical Review: More and more health-oriented books are following the model by one of this book's authors, Martin Zucker. He is the successful author of two other health-oriented books. This Book is a blend of testimonials by real people followed by a medical doctor's technical explanation of how the body uses this substance as described in the testimonial. Authors Jacob and Lawrence, between them, have more than 40 years of clinical experience using MSM with patients. Jacob holds many patents on this substance. There could be no better combination than these three authors to bring this organic sulfur substance to the public's attention. I have used MSM, personally, for many years, as have many others I know. In some instances pain relief comes within minutes! If this hadn't happened with so many of my friends I could put it down to a fluke. But, MSM is no fluke! From my own experience there is much more that MSM can do for you than is even written in this Book, but it appears to me that the authors are bending over backwards to avoid claims that are too dramatic. As the authors point out, MSM is less toxic than water and, when you look for it, you'll find it is also far less expensive than many nutrients which do far less good. The writing style is good, the data is expert and the subject is important.
Rating: Summary: This book has nothing to do with "Bill Rich" Review: MSM is quite possibly one of the most mis-represented nutrients of the last 10 years. There are some miraculous claims being made that MSM can cure anything from acne to cancer. If you go to any commercial web site, you will see ridiculous claims being made for MSM. Bill Rich, one of the head honchos of the MSM revolution has a cassette tape on the topic. If this guy is not a quack, I don't know what one is. He is an old, fat, extremely unhealthy looking man, who makes MSM out to be the missing link in the world today. He claims anyone who takes it will become well. I understand he wants to sell his product, but you have to be a little less frivolous in his claims, as Stanley Jacob is in this book, The Miracle of MSM. The title might throw you into believing this book is just preaching another supplement, but the evidence is sound and the claims aren't ridiculous. I have been taking MSM for quite awhile now, and I truly believe it is a beneficial supplement. I wouldn't go as far as calling it a Miracle, but it is a great addition to a diet that is low in fresh fruits and vegetables. MSM is great for heavy metal detoxification, which is what I have used it for.
Rating: Summary: Wonderfully informative from Docs w/great credentials Review: My husband has been ill since 1982 with debilitating pain that has recently been diagnosed as fibermialsia. He has used glucocsimine sulfate with some success, but was still in pain most of the time. After reading this book, I started on a search to find MSM in the best form. Not only did I find a company who supplies MSM in a wonderfully useable solution, but I found that Dr. Lawrence also uses this company's product. My husband is doing remarkably well. I'm telling everyone I know about MSM, it truely is a miricle. I'm purchasing this copy of the book to loan to others who will benefit from it as much as my family has. After 17 years, it's wonderful to have my husband back 100%.
