MSM Can Help You Grow Hair

By Clifford H Woods

The proteins keratin and collagen are equally crucial for the development of healthier hair and nails. MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is known as a major cosmetic mineral supplying you with the sulfur necessary to generate the two proteins mentioned.

It is additionally extremely believed to play a role in making the nails and hair much stronger and thick, which is often observed in only a few short weeks of regular utilization.

Sulfur is among the more essential vitamins for the human body for those who wish to stay vibrant and full of energy. As the body grows older it comes to be rigid and it’s all round vitality starts to quickly decline. MSM is considered an all-natural sulfur substance that is normally extracted from the rain. Sulfur exists in numerous organic unrefined ingredients; however it is immediately forfeited in the course of cooking.

For standard store-bought food items, dairy milk, onions, cabbage, asparagus, eggs, broccoli, red peppers, Brussels sprouts, and garlic cloves are the primary sources of MSM. Fresh, organic plant-based foods have a substantial volume of MSM when it is cultivated in soils abundant with sulfur. 

unfortunately the majority of the MSM present in these organic plant ingredients are typically damaged by means of incorrect handling and warehousing. Preparing food, particularly cooking food items within sizeable quantities of water, additionally minimizes the amount of MSM present within ingredients.

MSM is increasing in popularity as a result of the latest emphasis on extended life as well as age reversing properties. MSM is essential for the production of the protein collagen. Skin conditions such as wrinkles, dry skin, drooping skin, and cracked skin are major problems that will eventually develop if the body does not have enough collagen within it.


MSM will work along with vitamin C to be able to replaced damaged cells and develop new tissues. MSM, particularly the sulfur, can certainly stabilize the development of collagen which will significantly enhance epidermis health. It is a dependable way to obtain sulfur which can be produced mainly from vegetation produced on land or within the water. Ocean resources for sulfur consist of phytoplankton and algae.

Without a doubt, MSM is undoubtedly a crucial area of the sulfur system in the environment through which sulfur is extracted through the ground by means of plants, introduced to the environment as being a exceptionally unstable dimethyl sulfide, which then oxidizes within the higher atmosphere to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and finally it then turns into the atmospheric way to obtain MSM. 

Eventually both substances in the upper atmosphere, MSM and DMSO, go back to the Earth's soil by way of the rainfall, after which the entire cycle for sulfur starts again once more and continues to do so.

MSM Study on Hair Development
In a double-blind test study utilizing placebo use, revealed that one hundred percent of the test participants using MSM demonstrated enhanced hair re-growth in comparison to the subjects using the placebo. Merely one participant within the placebo group exhibited a rise in the length of their hair. 

Furthermore, thirty percent of the participants revealed betterment in the overall look and shine of their hair whilst not one of the placebo participants verified this kind of advancement.

According to the outcome of the double-blind experiment, oral supplements containing MSM are a beneficial improvement to hair growth. The overall health of the hair was considerably enhanced within a brief period of a month and a half. In the event that the studies would have been carried on for ten to twenty or more weeks, the final results could possibly have been greatly improved for the participants using MSM.

What is Organic?

By Clifford Woods

What exactly does “organic” mean?
Very simply – organic products are grown without using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms, sewage sludge, or ionized radiation. Animals that produce poultry, meat and eggs as well as dairy products do not take any growth hormones or antibiotics serve as the organic meat and milk food sources. 

This might sound way too simple to be believed by many people, but this remains the fact; organic simply refers to the products nourished naturally, without the addition of any synthetic chemicals into them.

What Sets ‘Organic Products’ Apart? 
Organic products mean that only natural ingredients are used – nothing synthetic or artificial. The buying of organic food has become a worldwide trend, as consumers aim to spend money on products they believe that they can relate to and trust. This means to know precisely where the country of origin is, how it is processed, and what type of ingredients constitute a product. Without such information at your disposal, you better avoid buying any product labeled ‘organic’, since that might not truly be one.

Organic vs. Inorganic 
Millions of consumers flock to the farmers’ markets and grocery stores spending their dollars and faith in the assurance of organic food being healthier. But there is still a debate around the true value of “organic” and this debate has yet to reach any definitive conclusion. This returning to a “natural diet” tempers shoppers’ interests so much that they have created a worldwide organic market valued at about $48 billion in 2007 and continue to expand till date.

Which Apple to Choose 
Once only found in stores for healthy food, today organic foods are now a normal feature at the majority of supermarkets. In the product section can be found apples; one is a regularly grown apple and the other one is the organic. Both apples are shiny, firm, and red. Both offer vitamins and fiber and both are free of fat, cholesterol, and sodium. Which apple should you choose? Produce that is conventionally grown usually costs less, but is organic food really healthy, safer or more nutritious?



Organic Methods 
The word “organic” denotes to the methods that the farmers use to grow and process farming products, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, grains, and dairy products. Practices for organic farming are created to boost soil and water savings and reduce toxic waste. Farmers growing organic meat and produce do not use the normal ways to avert livestock disease, fertilize, or control weeds. Instead of using weed killer chemicals, organic farmers conduct more refined rotations of crops and spread manure and mulch to keep weeds away, adhering more to natural ways.

Labeling of Organic Items 
Products containing more than 70% organic ingredients may or can say “made with organic ingredients” on their label, but they are not allowed to use the 100% certified seal. Any foods that contain less than 70 percent of organic ingredients cannot use either the term “organic” or the 100% seal on their labels. They can though, display the items that are organic in their ingredient list.

The Benefits of Organic Germanium

By Clifford H Woods

There’s so much debate going on about organic germanium. Many scientists are calling it a wonder compound because of its ability to combat almost any kinds of diseases. So, is this claim really true and 100% effective, or is it just another medical hoax?

Nature and History: Sometime in 1885, this trace element or mineral was first uncovered in a mining facility in Freiberg, Germany. Actually, it is pretty abundant throughout the earth’s crust. Aside from this, recent studies suggest its existence in fossilized plants, certain food items, mineralized water and some herbal plants.

However, from the pure germanium ore that was taken from the earth crust, many scientists have toiled for years to extract a new compound known as germanium-132, which is the one that is most commonly referred today as the miracle “organic germanium.”

Natural germanium exhibits both metallic and non-metallic properties. Its inorganic form is beneficial in the field of electronics, while its organic counterpart is very helpful in stimulating electrical activity down to the cellular level. By doing so, it induces oxygen catalysis within the body. This is, without a doubt, the most basic characteristic why it is gaining ground in the medical field, as bacteria and viruses normally attack the cellular level.

Benefits and Uses: Because organic germanium enhances oxygen flow throughout the body, it promotes optimum cellular activity. Take this analogy. Cancer cells hate oxygen whereas healthy cells love being oxygenated. So, taking this organic compound proves to be very bad news for cancer.

This is why oncology experts are currently studying the efficacy of this breakthrough compound, as it seems to play a vital role is suppressing the spread and rapid multiplication of dangerous cancer cells. As a matter of fact, Japan and Russia have been in the forefront of using germanium as an alternative therapy for cancer since it has long shown great improvements in strengthening the body’s response against certain tumors. In connection to its cancer fighting ability, this compound also heightens immune function, thereby, improving the body’s overall defense against microbiological invaders. It fights against free radicals and aids in detoxifying the body as well.

This benefit is probably rooted to the compound’s ability to increase the production of interferon. These chemical substances are naturally released by leukocytes to combat pathogens. It comes as no surprise why it is very effective in fending off viruses.

New study results have also shown remarkable improvements in normalizing serum cholesterol and blood pressure levels among those who are taking the compound. This is probably because of its use in improving blood circulation and blood vessel rejuvenation.

There are many other benefits of using organic germanium, which includes protection against radiation, vision improvement, relief from chronic inflammation or pain, and even improving the general condition of the skin, that is, if the compound is used as an ointment.

Before one can savor these germanium benefits, it must also be taken into consideration that a person must generally obtain sound physical and mental health.

A person should take a balanced diet regularly to prevent acid-base imbalances in the system. He should also strive to be stress-free, because a sound mental state helps maintain balance in the autonomic nervous system. This miracle compound can only be effective given that the above requisites are met.

Health Issues Related to Non Organic Products

By Clifford H Woods

Many patients ask their physicians if eating organic food, which costs much more, better for them? Are their health problems related to non-organic produce? Not certain, Stamford University physicians went through piles of research to find out. The evidence is not in large number, but still there is evidence that organic products are much healthier because of two major reasons related to pesticides and germ resistant antibiotics. The problems with both are usually most harmful in babies, toddlers, small children, individuals with allergies and the elderly.



Small Exposure to Pesticides They advise that eating organic vegetables and fruits will lower exposure to pesticides, especially in children, but the amounts that have been measured from produce that was both organically and inorganically grown, are still most of the time considered safe. At least, that is what Stamford researchers have reported. The amount of nutrients do prove to be more in foods that are organically grown, but not as much as it was first believed to be.

Non Organic produce has a 30 percent higher risk of containing any detectable levels of pesticides. In two studies, urine testing showed much lower levels of pesticide in those on organic diets. Also, one conclusion suggested that the insecticide in the urine could be due to insecticide used in our homes and might be more to blame than in the food.

But there are some researchers who do suggest that even small exposures to pesticide might be a risk for most children, so it is probably safer for children to eat organic products (vegetables and fruits that are organically grown).

Difference in Problems with Health Needless to say, most physicians at Stamford were very surprised. There are numerous reasons why somebody might select organic foods over conventional foods from the concern for the environment to taste preferences. But with health problems, there only seem to be just the two - more pesticides and problems with antibiotic-germ resistance.

Antibiotic-Resistant Germs The largest problem found is with bacteria that are antibiotic-resistant, which is already a public health concern, since these are the bacteria that are more difficult to treat when a person gets any form of food poisoning and can often lead to death.

Experts have said for a long time that when chemically treated or in non-organic manner, the odds of contamination by bacteria can be a problem and the Stamford study did agree. Often bacteria that is found, for example in pork or chicken, that are grown with chemicals producing non-organic meats, have a 33% higher rate of bacteria with antibiotic resistant to multiple antibiotics, which has been reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine a prestigious medical journal.

Debate over Antibiotics Given to Animals This finding comes in the middle of an already occurring debate over antibiotics being fed to animals not due to sickness, but rather to further fatten them up. Farmers maintain that this is necessary in order to meet the demand for meat that is cheaper.

Advocates for public health say it is a major contributor to the nation’s growing problem with germs that are becoming harder and harder to treat. Between the years 2000 to 2010, there have been 24 outbreaks linked to germs in food that are multi-drug-resistant. The government has begun taking steps to stop the non-medical use of antibiotics on large poultry farms.

Organic Food Markets The business of organic products is currently booming. Approximately 70% of Americans buy food that is organic occasionally and nearly one-quarter say they buy it every week. The reason most of them gave was that they wanted natural food that is better for them and for the environment. But buying organic food can cost you up to 50% more, so it is important that you buy these foods from markets or farmers that have food that is clearly marked organic.

Health wise; with the amount of antibiotics being used in non-organically grown chicken, pork and beef - before you decide which is better it is important to understand that if a child or elderly person gets food poisoning from drug resistant bacteria it can often lead to death. And these types of bacteria are most often found in non-organic food.
