Hi
I've come across this website below, for MSM & Vitamin C for cancer treatment.
It gives safety notices, etc, like don't take MSM with tap water, do not take with prescription drugs (which is contradictory to what I've read before) - I'm just wondering, are all these safety points just for cancer treatment or for anyone who takes MSM & Vit C?

I take both. Now I read the same as you. I recently met a therapist who Saud cancer patients take up to 10,000 mgs daily during chemo to help with the side effects. Personally I can't see any drugs being more toxic than chemo!
That said while what I've read all points towards msn being completely safe IF you are taking pharmeceuticals I'd always check with your doc to be safe.
What you can tolerate is a whole other story. Work up slow. Dr mercola has some good info on msn on his website.
Thanks Ellacraig.
I'm seriously considering taking MSM & Vitamin C as I've read high doses can give breast growth.
I've tried searching MSM on here, but I can't because it is less than 4 characters so it's taking ages reading through everything trying to find info on MSM. Please, therefore, can you help me a little..........Do you know what they class as high dosage for breast growth?
I'm going to read Dr mercola's website for more info - thank you for this.
Thank you

From what I read it seemed girls were noticing it off the 're omended dosages. Further readings stated 2000mgs which I believe is 2 tblespoons a day.
I personally take some vit c with the msn. The premixed I found quite strong and prefer msn on its own with vit c pill after. I'm no where near taking enough to say if it works or not yet thou
Beautywithboobs posted a good link thou so have a look under her profile for dosages too.
Oh honey, nooo! I have a very precise scale and I can tell you that 2 tbsp are no way 2000mg. One level teaspoon is 3500mg and 1 tbsp is 11000mg. So you are basically taking 22000mg every day. :-/
Thats why I was so confused when you sent me your MSM dosage via PM the other day.

Ha ha well no wonder I had a tummy upset lol!
It's weird because I brought a brand that said it was 1000mg per cap which filled a teaspoon?? I'm trying to do the math lol
Do you think the strength varies by brand?
That day I told you I had a tablespoon it WAS pretty heaped lol so I must have gone way over! Either way although I keep forgetting to take it I really want to work up to two tablespoons if I can tolerate it
One capsule is not a tsp, its about 1/3 of a teaspoon.
The weight of the powder depends on how fine it is. Mine is quite gritty (the brand I bought is for horses, lol), so maybe its more heavy than very fine powder. I can send you a pic of the powder if you want?

No that's ok lol I like the brand I have. Easy on tummy and passed the purity test. The ones I told you about were huge capsules and easily emptied out onto a teaspoon . I don't think they were very good though. They upset my system. I threw them away in the end. The caps almost got lodged in my throat they were that big :s

That's scary, lol. Maybe the capsules also had fillers like magnesium stearate or something like that. My powder is 100% pure and contains no fillers. Its just quite gritty, but thats no problem. I am going to take 1 tsp per day = 3500mg.
I don't want to take more as I read too much MSM can make your skin break out (detox symptom) and I don't need that at the moment since my skin is not the best as you know.
Very good point. Had I done a purity test most of it probably was full of fillers!
I must have some when I get home. But that's good now I know much much is in it if it's pure product so by rights I'l only have one teaspoon now
