                         I appreciate your MD's warnings. These clinical
findings are serious and have far reaching
    consequences.  Can your Holistic MD substantiate the warnings ?   I am
positive his postings will be of
    great value to healthcare consumers and Nature's assistants like me.



     With regards

I wish his warnings were based on trials and he could substantiate them - or 
actually, perhaps I am glad that they are not, because I would prefer it if 
CS and MSM had no possible side effects since they are such helpful tools for 
good health. His warnings come only from what he has seen in his practice, 
and therefore, like most of the evidence of how well CS works in humans, are 
basically anectodotal.
I tend to think that he is a brilliant doctor in his own field - but an 
alarmist and possibly prejudiced against tools which he doesn't use.
So it worries me when he says these things - but I have no idea if they are 
true or not. For myself, I have decided that when I have sinus infections it 
is worth the risk of going against his warnings and using CS for them. But 
unfortunately, several weeks after using a lot of CS for my sinus infection I 
have developed a terrible spaciness and feeling of not quite being in my body 
and problems with my eyes, which could be the damage that he warned me about  
-- I don't think so - but everyone has a different theory of what it is and 
no-one knows for sure.
So I wish there were enough studies to prove one way or the other the safety 
of CS or MSM -- but since the big money guys want anything they can't make 
big money off suppressed, I guess it will be a while before such studies get 
funded -- probably when antibiotics clearly no longer work at all.
Hope that helps, not confuses.
Take care,
Katarina
PS. I think one of the questions which is unresolved is whether CS makes it 
through the blood/brain barrier into the brain -- does anyone have any 
opinions on this?
