"Presently I am taking MSM one capsule three times a day since the end of June. I have found that the skin of my right thumb is no longer cracked.  Normally housewives have this problem, because they wash their hands more often.  I have found that it seems to me that this problem is gone! Is it because of taking MSM? Also the nodule on my finger which I mentioned to you before is now gone.  When Ellen was in Ottawa, she felt the nodule on my finger which was rather big and asked me to see the doctor.  I did and had x-ray on that finger.  The doctor said nothing was found on the nodule, it was OK to leave it; however the x-ray showed that beside the nodule, I have minor arthritis. So, I started Glucosamine at that time, and it was July 23 (I wrote the date on the bottle). I took 1 capsule 3 times a day for 2 months.  My arthritis did not go away, so I increased it to 2 capsules 3 times a day until yesterday (for a month).   From today, I try to go back to 1 capsule 3 times a day. Do you think the nodule is gone because of taking Glucosamine? Or because of taking Glucosamine and MSM together?    When I was in Toronto for Annette's wedding, I mentioned to your dad that the nodule in my finger is gone, and your dad looked at his fingers and said that he used to have quite a few nodules and now when I mentioned it, he could not find them any more. I do not know whether your dad take  Glucosamine and/or MSM or not. If not, why do his nodules also gone? The nodule, in Chinese, we call it KWAK (like bone) CHI (like sewing by needle)."

 The "nodule" is called spur, which is an abnormal growth of the bone, a sharp projection which bothers a lot of people.  

Glucosamine and Chondroitin help repair the cartilage. Bromelain is an enzyme which helps us absorb the large molecules of chondroitin. The combination of these 3 active ingredients with Shark Cartilage, Devil's Claw, and Sea Cucumber work synergistically to repair our joints and reduce the pain and inflamation from spurs and arthritis.

MSM is an essential nutrient for connective tissue (including bones and joints). It works with vitamin C to repair damage to our bones and joints, as well as our hair, nails, and skin. It keeps the skin soft and flexible, speeding up the healing of damaged skin.
