Testimonial
I have suffered from Ulcerative Colitis for 20 years with bouts of excessive blood and mucus in the stools, diarrhoea, a compulsive need to excrete, excessive weight loss, headaches and irritability. I have found that the condition can be controlled by following the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet" however flare-ups can occur in times of stress or if I forget to strictly follow the diet. These flare-ups used to be a long and painful process to subdue but now thankfully I have discovered MSM and flare-ups are a thing of the past. Within a month of starting the MSM protocol I put on nearly 5kgs and the specialist at Auckland hospital was so impressed he told me he would research both MSM and the SCD.

Published Research:
Rats with chemically induced colitis were treated with MSM (400mg/kg/day, orally) for 4 days. Results showed that MSM decreased colon damage and significantly reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. It seems that MSM as a natural product may have a protective effect in an experimental ulcerative colitis.

MSM significantly inhibited the release of several agents causing inflammation (i.e. prostaglandin). The results indicate this is done through down regulation of a protein (NF-kappaB signalling) [which is found to be chronically active in many inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, sepsis, gastritis, asthma etc.]
We believe MSM is relatively safe and effective for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Ulcerative colitis is associated with psychological stress and poor emotional functioning characterized by decreased sensitivity to emotions with a positive content.
