Great thought out answer. Sometimes easier read than applied.

Amazing answer, will have to try this out. Thank you.

THANK YOU i appriciate it so much that you put your time and effort into doing this for me. i am sooo happy with this group! love and light and i will work on this !

one of my issues is caffiene. i drink massive quantitys of pop and coffie, if i sipmly drink water how do i get away from the massive caffine withdraws and the horrible headaches involved?

http://www.msmforless.com/mfg.htm A site I found with some info on MSM

Can someone recommend a particular MSM or Vitamin C product?

@TReb Bor yit-NE - Yes, you are probably going to suffer caffeine withdrawals for a few days (or more) depending on your current level of addiction to it and perhaps the artificial sweeteners in the sodas. The MSM/Vitamin C combination will nullify that a bit but probably not completely. I don't really have an easy answer for you but one thing you may wish to consider is molding yourself into someone that has never had a caffeine dependency. There is an explanation of this idea here in regards to smoking: http://www.scribd.com/doc/27194537/Bashar-How-to-Quit-Smoking-The-Demons-Way

@Nikki777 - This is what I use... Vitamin C: http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=119&prodid=490 MSM: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Doctors-Best-Best-MSM-Powder-250g_W0QQitemZ310293459712QQcategoryZ19262QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DDLSL%252BSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D8%26pmod%3D310293236061%252B310293236061%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8153626929175532551#ht_1486wt_1139 The concentrations of these two products means that exactly a half teaspoon of each powder is needed - makes it simple to use

When you have a natural craving for plain water, does it mean anything? Like maybe you are more spiritual or aligned than most people out there?

@Kakaboo - It means you want to drink some plain water :) I tend to disagree with those people (and even religions) that say that what you stick into your mouth (or feed into your digestive system) makes you more or less spiritual. If I stick a carrot in my ear, I'm just a person with a carrot in my ear, that's all :) The physical body tends to play by the rules of the physical world it exists in, so it will put forward cravings sometimes in order to indicate what it wants. If you are in a good-feeling place, you can trust those cravings

@Stingray - I've done some searching around the web about MSM and heard that MSM powder tastes terrible if mixed with plain water.. is that true ? :-)

@kakaboo - Yes, powdered MSM in water by itself tastes pretty awful. However, the MSM/Vitamin C mixture described above - assuming the correct proportions are adhered to - actually tastes quite pleasant and refreshing. The Vitamin C taste offsets the MSM nicely

Ok well the pharmacy I went to buy my first MSM only had them in tablet form so I guessed the taste wont matter much.. lol. Just one particular thing I am curious about - for a person who is completely healthy (like your wife) what kind of other improvements could they possibly see? If there were any improvements at all, wouldn't they be quite subtle and not so noticeable if they were still healthy to start with?

@kakaboo - For me and her, from a physical perspective, the most obvious result is that it just makes us look "radiant and glowing" - for want of a better phrase. Remember that basically all this combination does is a gentle, on-going detox so you are not going to physically notice the effects until the body has completed detoxing and frees up those energy resources that were previously engaged in the detoxing. Depending on your current state of toxification, that might take days or weeks.

@Stingray Thank you for the recommendation of the MSM/Vitamin C. I bought a few pounds of each for a fairly cheap price on ebay to try and have been using it for about a week and a half now. I do have one question to ask. Did Bashar recommend taking the combo on a full or empty stomach? Maybe before or after you eat? I only ask this because I have been taking it pretty much randomly three times throughout the day and wasn't sure if there was a more optimal or beneficial way to drink it.

@Cory - Personally, I don't think it matters too much. Bashar didn't say anything about it. I always tend to drink water on an empty stomach out of habit...years ago I was very much into food combining/Natural Hygiene sort of stuff and it was recommended not to dilute stomach digestive juices by drinking water straight after meals so I've just had that habit for many years now. As I said, I don't think it matters

Thanks for the answer Stingray. I didn't think it mattered much either. I just wanted to be sure that there was or wasn't a wrong way to take it.

This is interesting to me, as I have msm at home and take it occasionally. I also use homemade msm cream daily.

How much is 2000 mg in teaspoons, approximately? My only issue with this is that taking msm in large quantities leads my skin to break out into huge spots that leave scars. I've read that this passes after a while but I found that wasn't the case for me. Perhaps if I start with a smaller amount and work my way up...

@cassiopeia - I can't say how many teaspoons because it depends on what the concentration is of the MSM you already have. I spent a long time on the internet finding Vitamin C and MSM powders whose concentrations matched closely. In other words, every day I only need a half-teaspoon of each for each "dose" to get the required effect. It makes it simple. Please note that Bashar is not suggesting to take either MSM or Vitamin C alone - it's the combination of them that is being recommended

Just to update this thread and save anyone interested from a few hours of internet searching, this is what I'm currently using. (A half teaspoon of each powder is pretty much 2,000 mg) Vitamin C & MSM

@Stingray, I know I am late to this super-hydration party but have recently started drinking heavily..water that is:) and was wondering should I go room temp or chilled when stumbled upon this article: http://www.drdarden.com/readTopic.do?id=383704 who suggests ice cold chilled

What do you recommend? Chilled or at room temp? what's your experience? Thanks

@Xoomaville - I've heard people suggest chilled when they are talking about using this approach for losing weight since taking in cold water uses up more energy within the body when bringing it up to body temperature. Personally I don't think it matters at all. Then again, I always have chilled where possible but that's only because, as a person, I'm always feeling very warm and so I tend towards things that cool me down. You'll recognize me because I'll be wearing a T-Shirt on a freezing day :)

@Stingray, thanks...yea, me too...can be the coldest night of the year and I would want to sit out to enjoy it:) I think the room temp water is easy to get it down as I am not sipping yet but gulping steadily...oh man, the trips to the loo are...that's another story:)

@stinngray thank u brother, this is absolutely great !

@Stingray - Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just received these in the mail and want to make sure I'm doing it right...is the 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams of MSM and Vitamin C per serving, three times a day, or total per day, divided into 3 servings? Thanks so much.

@Stingray - Thanks very much for the clarification and new info. I've just started on the regimen...this stuff sure packs a zing! Thanks again and all best.

My 1kg pouch's of MSM and Vitamin C arrived earlier! wow this stuff is potent. After drinking the one glass it felt like I was buzzing. If anyone is interested buying 1kg of each from ebay worked out at almost the same price as buying nearly a quarter of that from holland and barratt. Thank you stingray for providing us with this information.

Hi Stingray, Do you use / recommend calcium ascorbate or sodium ascorbate for Vitamin C? I posted a question earlier about Bashar's program here: http://www.inwardquest.com/questions/77186/a-question-about-bashars-vitamin-c-msm-program

Thank You Much!

Working out?... its vital for the body too.. none of them on its own is compulsory since eventually its the mind... but before you have that level of belief you need to try somethings that are physical in nature.. i like all your suggestions of water, air and detox but would think add working out too... best to try diff things and see how your body reacts... for me working out is #1 - its the best thing and i love it. But of course i am not saying its same for everyone...
