I have found the MSM form of sulphur to be very beneficial in assisting with my acne and hair loss problems. At first I experienced a few detoxification symptoms (e.g. mild headaches, dark urine, flu-like symptoms) but after about ten days of use,the acne on my face and back miraclously cleared up and my hair loss gradually stopped. Presently, after taking the MSM supplements for almost three months,my skin is like a new born baby's and I am getting so many compliments. Also, strange things are happening with regards to other aspects of my health. I am finding that my bowel movements are more regular and I do not have the digestive problems that I used to get after eating certain foods. Also, I do not crave sugary food in the evenings like I used to. I don't understand the mechanics of why these benefits are taking place but I'm loving it!!!
