I can't believe this, but I started to pick at my KP and couldn't find a bump to pick at! I looked in the mirror and the KP is gone! The redness and scars are very faint as well. I just can't believe it! I've been taking the MSM for less than a week--and I haven't even been moisturizing! I started with 1000mg, but had a day of detox, so I backed off to 500mg for a few days. Today, I'm increasing back to 1000--I can't believe it can get better than this, but we'll see!

I'm taking the Opti-MSM that I ordered from www.msm-msm.com. I started by taking 1000mg capsusl made by Spring Valley that I found at Walmart, but I got sick the second day, so I backed off and started with 1/8 tsp. of the Opti. Today, I'm up to 1/4 tsp. and feeling good, so I'll take the 1000mg capsul tomorrow. With the powder, I put some in a glass of water with a little Gatorade powder--it didn't taste bad at all. The last two days, I used it in my coffee in the morning. I've heard conflicting reports about heat affecting the MSM, but it seems to be working fine. I hope this answers your questions. The Opti package says to start with 1/8 tsp. working up to 8 tsps/day (!) and then back off to 2 tsps. and hold there. I guess that's what I'll do. Let me know how it's going for you!

hi! i didn't even know you could get it in powder form. i'll keep all that info for future reference, thanks. i'm surprised the pills made you sick. did you take them with food? i've had absolutely no negative reactions so far. obviously everyone reacts differently to the various rememdies out there. hopefully we'll all find the solution that is right for us. happy pill popping!

kp, if you haven't already, read ME's post from the 22nd. she appears to be getting great results from it. i will let everyone know my status after a week or two of taking it as well. and i'll really be able to see if it works because i am going to stop using my Diprosalic and see what happens. if the sulfur isn't working my bumps will resurface with a vengeance. as well, my twin sister is going to stop taking her Diprosalic and she is just going to take Niacin pills. we're going to compare results after a few weeks. may the luckiest woman win!!

My symptoms were slight nausea, mild headache and just generally feeling yucky. Not enough to make me give up on the MSM, but I do have a new respect for taking it slowly at first. Apparently, not everyone has problems. Maybe I had more toxins than most--I'm a caffeine-a-holic!

Hi I'm about to start taking MSM, but are there any side affects, some people are feeling sick?? What sort of symptoms do you get? I'm really excited about MSM and i hope it works well for me! Does anyone know if it is better to take it as a pill or as powder? Thanks.

I have MSM and have taken it before w/ other pills but stoped because at the same time I began the Sulfur Soap and just kept up w/ that. The MSM comes in a pill capsule form but has the powder inside. I think people are getting sick because you really need to take it w/ food.

I'm going to try it with food, but for the most part, I'm feeling fine now. I just had a little nausea and a slight headache for a day. I drink a lot of caffiene and don't always eat well, so I bet I had a lot of toxins to get rid of. Not all people have problems and it's easy to adjust doses to fix it. Don't let it scare you away from this stuff--the side affects are from the toxins in your body right now, not the MSM.

I took MSM for about a month but stopped because I saw no results. Just FYI. Everyone is different.
