Do you have any information about using MSM on juice fast. Is it safe?

MSM is just organic sulfur, which the FDA does not provide RDA's for. It is included in glucosamine-chondroitin supplements, and is absolutely safe when taken as directed. I use it to keep my joints feeling young and flexible, and it works. Crush a caplet with the back of a spoon and put it directly in your juice, which will increase the likelihood of absorption.

i've used it during most of my fasts. i start at about 1/4 tsp and work my way up to a 2 or 3 tablespoons. your body will tell you when you are at it's limit when you get runny stools... at that point back off a little.

Thank you, Skier2 and Aleesha. I thought it was safe, but I am very careful now after an adventure with Ibuprofen.

Just one more question- it is pretty cold now, and I want to fast, but on the second day I feel very cold. Do you drink warm tea to help it?

Great! I can do baths too. As for clothing, I do use layers. Don't ask how many blankets and sweaters I put at night(I don't like heaters.)
