Some of the MSM out there has sulfate in it, which is what people are allergic to. Pure MSM which is an organic sulfonyl will not cause an allergic reaction. I have personally talked with two people that are highly allergic to sulfur (so much so that they end up in a hospital when ingesting less than a teaspoon of sulfur) and convinced both of them to try MSM and they both take it twice a day now without any problems. Most people, from what I understand, that are allergic to sulfur are actually allergic to the sulfates.
The MSM you tried may have been cut with something, what brand is it that you tried?

I found a few tidbits there, but not what I was looking for, so I'll pose some questions here. Does anyone have an idea as why when upon taking MSM for the first time last night, it made me sick. I think I am allergic to it. Why would one be allergic to a natural substance from the earth? I know it was the MSM that made me sick, for within an hour or so of taking it, I began getting a feverish achy feeling all over. I went to bed early, tossed and turned all night (my husband said I was even moaning when I was asleep). I felt as if I had the flu. This morning I am feeling better after LOTS of water to flush it out of my system. Many years ago, enough so that I had totally forgotten (until last night) I had some sulfur prescribed for something or other. I had a reaction to it then too...feverish flu like symtoms. Any thoughts? Thanks. Love, Kathy -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
