Fantastic Natural Product for Chronic Pain Relief

99.9% Pure - Same Top Quality Grade as Used by Humans

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane 99.9% Pure - same top quality grade as used by humans) is now widely acclaimed by veterinarians and horsemen for its contribution to equine health care and horse ailments. MSM for pets has helped ease a number of horse and pet ailments. MSM is a dietary supplement and was discovered by Dr. Robert Herschler. MSM is an organic compound that comes in the form of a white crystalline powder and is derived from DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide).

Horses are quite susceptible to many common diseases that require immediate attention from either the owner or a veterinarian. Since most horses are social, disregarded communicable diseases can lead to disaster. Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis is a neurological disorder that quickly manifests itself in healthy horses.  The parasite sarcocystis nueuona enters the horse through infected food and water supplies and settles within the horses' spinal cord.  Symptoms include a loss of appetite, depression and a loss of motor control as the disease progresses. 

EPM is a master of disguise and can be difficult to diagnose because its signs often mimic other health problems in the horse and signs can range from mild to severe.  More than 50 percent of all horses in the United States may have been exposed to the organism that causes EPM.  The causative organism is a protozoal parasite named Sarcocystis neurona. The disease is not transmitted from horse to horse.  Rather, the protozoa are spread by the definitive host the opossum. The infective stage of the organism, the sporocysts, are passed in the opossum's faeces.

The horse comes into contact with the infective sporocysts while grazing or eating contaminated feed or drinking water.  Once ingested, the sporocysts migrate from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier. There they begin to attack the horse's central nervous system. The onset of the disease may be slow or sudden. If left undiagnosed and untreated, EPM can cause devastating and lasting neurological damage. Working horses, particularly those which compete on the racetrack or in the show ring, suffer from sore backs. A horse with a sore back will show a decrease in performance.  Observant owners will notice discomfort, bruising, hair loss and even open sores in the saddle area. 

MSM has been used in the above horse ailments and have been known to improve their ailment.  MSM is credited with clearing up and preventing, epiphysitis (inflammation of the growth centre just above the knee) in fast young growing horses. Overfeeding with a high protein diet is one of the causes for epiphysitis. MSM relieves a variety of horse ailments and lameness problems along with reducing inflammation and enhancing blood circulation. MSM provides horses and pets with relief from arthritis.

MSM was added to the diet of a thoroughbred jumper with chronic back problems, after taking MSM his back problems disappeared and was able to go onto a healthy and extended jumping career. MSM cleared up epiphysitis in three weeks on a young thoroughbred filly. Animals given MSM showed a delayed onset of tumours, equivalent to 10 years in humans. Dietary MSM also delayed the onset of tumours in the colon.

MSM is not some magical potion, it basically clears up two things, inflammation and enhances circulation.  MSM is present in food when it is very fresh, it can be driven out of any food by even moderate passing, including the cutting and drying of hay. It is important to supplement most diets with a pure source of MSM.  MSM is an excellent source of sulphur for horses. 

Nutritionists, veterinarians, and horse owners report excellent results from the feeding of MSM on a daily basis.   MSM provides a dietary source of sulphur, an element that is important in the formation of connective tissue.  Animals who were given MSM in their water supplies had lower death rates and liver damage than the control groups, and had a longer life expectancy.

Arthritis in dogs and cats.  Arthritis can cause dogs and cats to become stiff or lame, they struggle to get to their feet in the morning or cry out in pain if they move the wrong way.  Arthritis or joint inflammation occurs in dogs most commonly when there are degenerative changes in malformed joints, such as with hip dysplasia.  Arthritis can also result from trauma, infection or immune-mediated disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. 

Very little arthritis is seen in cats, although some purebred cats are known to have joint problems. When cats do have chronic pain the most common cause is osteoarthritis. Trying to find pain relief for pets with arthritis can be difficult and most veterinarians prescribe aspirin but it has the potential for gastrointestinal problems, such as hemorrhaging or even ulcers. MSM has been studied in dogs and proven safe.
