Are there any clinical studies on MSM and back pain?
As far as clinical studies are concerned, there is very
little scientific data on MSM. Except for a few animal studies there is little
known about it. The only anecdotal data on MSM are made by the manufacturers
and dealers. There is not a single individual who has come forward and revealed
that his/her back pain, diabetes or arthritis has
been cured with MSM.
With regard to MSM and back pain,
there is zero evidence that it does anything. In fact the FDA has already
warned dealers against making false claims about MSM. No one questions the fact
that sulfur is needed by the body but the amounts needed are miniscule.
Therefore, for individuals seeking a miracle in MSM, you are
going to be disappointed.
For the moment, it is nothing more than a scam. In addition, MSM does not come
cheap. Ninety capsules cost anywhere from $15-$20 and you can add up the yearly
cost. If you have back pain, go to a bona fide health care professional and
seek a therapy that works.
