Omica Organics MSM
One of the main things I suffer from due to my health issues is muscle spasms. If you've never suffered from spasms, take it from me, it is a miserable state of being.
I ran into Matt form Omica Organics the other day. We were both hanging out at Erewhon Market in Los Angeles and I told him the Magnesium Oil Spray (Reviewing... Magnesium Oil) he had given me really does help. It takes the edge off. He suggested I try their new MSM with turmeric capsules. (MSM is a type of natural, essential sulfur, not to be confused with Sulpha drugs.)
I know part of my problem is inflammation. (And I have read that both MSM and turmeric can be helpful.) Following the diet outlined in The Inflammation Syndrome helps considerably, but I am human. As hard as I try not to eat sugar, I fail at times. Staying off gluten helps, too. But again, sometimes I back slide.
I have been back sliding a lot recently, and as a result I'm paying for it. Put simply, I hurt. Mostly my legs, primarily my right leg, which makes driving miserable.
When I got home after seeing Matt, I had something to eat (this is important, as turmeric can irritate an empty stomach) and swallowed three capsules. My legs were spasmodic and I was very uncomfortable. Within 15 minutes I was noticing the difference. I still had spasms, but they were much, much less. Needless to say, I've been taking the MSM with turmeric caps everyday since, and I'm very happy indeed that I ran into Matt!
(Thanks Matt!)
*A note about Omica Organics: Their products are very pure; they use absolutely no additives or fillers. Their MSM is plant derived, where cheaper brands are derived from petroleum.
