Dear Russ,
I do not wish to generate an issue over peripheral
contentions, but I will address one claim made by various sources of
commercially available MSM and related products: We have found the same case
to hold---as Dr. Jacob states on page 230 of your book reference; "Vitamin C
is a wonderful substance.. We know of no evidence, however, of any supporting
role related to MSM.". Our researches have not confirmed the necessity of
additional substances as catalysts or companions----for MSM to express its
detectable effects.
Not having ever used "synthetically produced" MSM
(i.e. from petroleum stocks) I can make no useful
comment on its efficacy. Since some organic-based reductions/conversions do
appear to result in end products containing foreign particle "tags" and/or
microscopic "contaminants", it may be possible for MSM to fall in this
category. Our resident Chemical Engineer is not conversant with MSM
synthesizing processes, hence would volunteer no comment on possible
"contamination issues". However, he did opine that there should NOT be any
structural difference between MSM derived from lignin sources.....and that
synthesized from natural gas. I am not contending this to be the case.
I can state, with small fear of contradiction, that
it is a simple matter to confirm---from the seller---whether or not the MSM
you are purchasing is from plant-source origins (lignin-based) or from other
hydrocarbon origins. All of the products we evaluated (5) were from
lignin-based sources (Crown Zellerbach Co. process). Manufacturers are bound
by law to furnish such information----however, their proprietary processes
used to manufacture their products may not be subject to disclosure.
In all of our analyses and researches we have not
found another substance (excepting DMSO itself) that materially affects---in
any way---the biological mechanism of MSM. I am not contending that others
have not----just that we have not. We have, on the other hand, found many
substances whose effects are modified by MSM as a companion---including
water.
I appreciate your information relating to the
synthetic MSM of natural gas origin. I will have someone investigate this
circumstance ASAP and relate his/her findings.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
