Hey DB,
This was posted on the blacksalveandpets list and thought you and others might
be interested since you were just seeking the sulphur and cream of tartar info.
I'm sending this to both the CS and DMSO lists, cause I can't remember where
the thread originated. :-\ I don't know where the info was quoted from.
Hope this helps!
Ruth

Brimstone is the old name for sulphur now MSM, Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane, a
natural form of organic sulphur found in the fluids of all living organisms. It
is an organic pure and natural, stable, white crystalline powder without the
unpleasant taste or smell. It is odourless and does not produce intestinal
gases. Sulphur is essential to life and safe as water. It has many remarkable
properties and there is also evidence to suggest that it helps with other amino
sugars to produce collagen for joint mobility.
Air and water pollution, over farming and polluted soil, artificial irrigation
practices, deforestation all contribute to sulphur depleted soil. Minerals
depleted from the soil means there is insufficient available for plant uptake
and consequently less available in our diets.
Unfortunately MSM is also easily lost during moderate food processing. Cooking,
drying, smoking, pickling and long-term storage can deplete the MSM content of
food.
1) Dehydration & Detoxification - Sulphur is responsible for the ionic exchange
within the sodium-potassium pump in the cell. Sulphur is needed to maintain
cell membrane permeability. This is important to ensure that nutrients are
delivered into the cell and toxins and other waste products can exit. A lack of
sulphur prevents the transport of free radicals, chemicals and foreign
particles out of the cells, which if not excreted can lead to many allergic
reactions such as Asthma, ear nose and throat infections, hay fever, headaches,
fatigue and gastrointestinal problems.
2) Energy - Sulphur is a component of insulin, the very important hormone that
regulates the uptake of glucose by cells for use as energy. A lack of sulphur
can result in low insulin production or cell resistance to insulin which in
turn brings about excess blood sugar leading to diabetes. Sulphur is also
needed for thiamine and biotin which arc also needed for normal carbohydrate
metabolism. Sulphur plays a part in tissue respiration, the process whereby
oxygen is used to build new cells, a lack of sulphur can lead to replaced cells
being dysfunctional and causing serious health related problems. Sulphur will
help the immune system inhibit chemical carcinogens.
3) Structure - Sulphur is a required structural mineral found in the proteins
of most tissues in the body such as the skin, blood vessels, organs, hair and
nails. Sulphur makes up the flexible disulphide bonds within protein structure
in tissues providing elasticity and movement. Sulphur is also necessary for
healing and repair of these tissues from internal injury and free radical
damage. MSM contributes to the production of ground substance
(muccopolysaccharides) which keeps connective tissue intact.
Researchers claim that MSM can help improve joint flexibility, reduce
stiffness, swelling and pain, improve circulation and break up calcium deposits
or water bonds in the synovial fluid.
4) Function - Sulphur is known as nature's Beauty mineral as it keeps the hair
glossy and smooth, nails pliable and strong, and complexion clear and youthful.
It has been used for scar tissue, burns, acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis,
dandruff, scabies, and many skin rashes.
5) Other conditions
a) Insect bites, MSM reacts with foreign protein(like venom & toxins injected
by insects), by locking them up, neutralizing the poisons, which can then be
harmlessly eliminated.
b) Sunburn, MSM contributes significant permeability and pliability to all
tissues including the skin, it prevents blistering and promotes faster healing
from sun or wind damage.
c) Disorders & Infection Sulphur functions quickly throughout the system by
increasing nutrient absorption which improves many digestive disorders such as
constipation, heartburn, colitis. MSM competes for binding receptor sites at
the mucus membrane surface and therefore discourages infections such as Candida
and removes parasites such as roundworms.
