4.0 out of 5 stars Dr Ore knew about this MSM natural pain relief remedy - 1940, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

"Msm:Natural Pain Relief Remendy", by Mitchsell Mitchell, et al. I was unloading hay as a young boy in 1944, by a hayhook with rope and pulley moving the hay to the barn hayloft. While riding the hay bundle to the hayloft my left hand got entangled in the big pulley, with rope burns on three fingers to the bones, after painful first aid and the doctor's care, big yellow-sulfur-pills were given to me to take for four to five weeks. I am now 64 years old - having ask several times different doctors and drugstores for yellow-sulfur-pills, always received a blank look answer, now this magical MSM has been reborn. Thanks. Dr. Ore gave me a good sulfur supply so I took them for everyting. I still have the scars on by fingers. Great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars MSM Pain Relief, February 29, 2004

By A Customer

This book can be read in one day. It has clear examples and the writer lets you know that MSM is still open for debate as a remedy for pain relief. If you are not ready to consume this mineral there are suggestions that the mineral can be used on the body via lotions and creams. The book cost six bucks the price of a latte. It was worth it considering that I did not know anything about it until I went to the spa and another person mentioned it to me.
