Zella,
Great hubby testimony. You may want to find the link about constipation problems that was going on a while back and add this juicing part to help them. Thanks for sharing.

msm is great unless you have impaired sulfur oxidation.... which I JUST found out I have....

basically you cannot get rid of the sulfur, impaired sulfur oxidation..... I am still in the research phase ... sorry I cannot be of more help right now.

all that means is that you have to open your sulfation pathways...no biggie.

[Yvette]

so how exactly do you open your sulfation pathways?

[firefaery]

There are many ways. You can google and get many hits. This is a common problem in autism spectrum disorders and food allergies. One way that seems to help many people is with epsom salt soaks. Magnesium sulfate literally widens the exit pathways so that the sulfites don't back up and cause neurological problems. There are some people that have discomfort doing this for several reasons (oxalate issues being one) so be sure to do your research before trying ANYTHING.

My mum never got better. She sadly died in October.

Hope you're okay, Yvette.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mother two years ago after a two year battle with cancer. It still makes me sad, but it gets easier.

At this point I hope you do not still blame yourself for introducing her to msm. A "well-qualified nutritionist" suggesting msm was to blame before even examining your Mother should be considered malpractice. Cause and effect had nothing to do with it. Sometimes things simply happen, we don't know why, and we have no control.

I spent a good portion of my adult life regretting that I did not do enough for the women in my family that passed before me. Let me tell you, it is a waste of time and life to have those regrets. If you are having problems with it you might consider getting some help from a therapist or grief counsler.

Our Mothers are in good hands. Best wishes to you moving forward.

I am sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to you for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I lost my dad not long ago and I know how it feels. I hope you will heal from the trauma of your Mom's illness and death.
Remember the love you shared. Sincerely, Kendra

I still blame myself for what has happened; I wish I’d never heard of the raw food movement. I suffer anxiety and depression really bad since this happened. I don’t know how to carry on (me and my mum were so close, she was my best friend and all the family I have; it was just her and me). Life has been hard enough for me as it is because I suffer from social anxiety and my mum was the only person I wasn’t socially anxious around. Now I have no one; I am completely isolated and alone; you can not imagine how that feels. I can’t take anymore; I have decided I will kill myself very soon.

I just wanted to share my experiences as a warning; no one can help me now it is too late.

Yvette, please do not blame yourself.

It is not your time to go. Your mom wants you to live. She gave birth to you for you to LIVE. And even if she didn't birth you, she raised you to LIVE.

You need someone to talk to. PLEASE talk to someone in person. I am available to talk but I think someone needs to be there with you as well.

Please find support. I do believe there are greivance groups that you can go to for support.

I am sending you much love right now.

Oh my, Yvette. I am so sorry for your loss. I know there must be a reason for the things you've been through. Please feel free to send me a private message if you need someone to talk to. I'm sending some loving hugs and prayers to you.

You know, I have had various reasons to believe that my liver is in need of repair and am working on that at the moment. I have seen MSM recommended (along with cacao, which only works for me under certain limited conditions) soooo many times and never knew there was a problem with it. I am so thankful to have your information. Who knows if you've saved someone else's life or prevented struggles by sharing this.

Just be careful of this raw food stuff; do not believe everything you are told by these raw food teachers or gurus. They try to build on our fears about health in order to sell us expensive supplements that have not had enough testing to be deemed safe. David Wolfe and Shazzie are notorious for this. When I approached shazzie about why there are no warnings about MSM on her website because it does have some quite serious side effects that I later discovered, she says that trading standards doesn't allow them and yet nowwhere on her website is this explained. I find this greatly misleading as they have lead the consumer to believe the supplement is perfectly safe.

I have come to the realisation that the raw movement is nothing more than a dangerous cult. What is a cult you may ask? A cult isn't all about extreme religious followings Webster also defines them as "A system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator. Great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work. Both of these can certainly refer to the raw food diet.

It is no different to a religious cult, it is full of dogmatism, rules and negative motivations. It sucks people into believing that raw food is the miracle answer to everything that is wrong in their lives when in fact I have found the reverse to be true.

The whole idea of eating raw is founded on fear by instillng in its followers the belief that anything cooked is toxic and destroys enzymes and will cause disease and shortened life. On the other hand they also exaggerate the benefits of raw food lifestyles including the cure of diseases such as cancer.

If you google the cult of raw food you will find information about the truth behind this movement and information that shows David Wolfe and Shazzie as the corrupt people they are. Did you know for instance that David Wolfe founded his entire career on the theft of someone else's work. David's first book, Nature's First Law is actually a plaigarised version of a book called Raw Eating that was written many years ago by an Iranian author called A T Hovannessian.

David Wolfe has set himself up as a self proclaimed messiah of the raw food world. He was taught by Anthony Robbins, and the techniques he uses to manipulate people into buying his expensive supplements by playing on people's fears and insecurities are similar to that of a cult leader.

All in all this raw food movement is highly corrupt and and dangerous and adherence to any cult can only lead to much unhappiness.
