Kink Ease: Mechanism of Action and General Instructions

Kink Ease™ Methylsulfonyl Methane (MSM)

 

 

BACKGROUND:  Methylsulfonyl Methane (MSM) is widely used as an anti-inflammatory medication (6) and as an adjunctive agent in the treatment of pain.  MSM is widely found in nature, and is essentially non-allergenic. Cow's milk is the most abundant source of MSM, containing  3.3 parts per million (ppm).

 

MSM relieves pain through several mechanisms of action. Acting as an anti-inflammatory agent, reduction in tissue swelling, reduction in vasodilation, pain is reduced.  MSM may reduce muscle spasm and MSM reduces the rate of pain impulse activity in the C-fiber component of the peripheral nervous system. There is evidence that MSM may have value as a cancer preventive agent. (3). Using multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy MSM was found to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in significant concentration. The study also revealed that MSM is evenly distributed throughout the brain, brainstem, with equal concentrations in both gray and white matter. Other studies have confirmed that MSM crosses the BBB. (4, 5)

 

MSM is very safe to administer, having a very low toxicity. (7, 8)  Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a popular dietary supplement used in a variety of conditions including pain, inflammation, allergies, arthritis, parasitic infections, and bladder conditions. It is thought to maintenance of normal keratin levels in hair, skin and nails. Toxicity studies have concluded that MSM is well tolerated in doses that exceed 2 g/kg. (1)

 

Compared to placebo, MSM produced significant decreases in pain and physical functional.  MSM also produced improvement in performing activities of daily living when compared to placebo. (2)

 

Oral Dosage:

 

When taken by mouth MSM is well tolerated, but it can actually enhance the GI uptake of other medications, both prescription and OTC, alike.  When taken with medications that have narrow therapeutic ranges, such as coumadin and lithium,  MSM should be taken with caution, as the prescription dosage may well have to be decreased.

 

Generally, patients tolerate 900-1000 mg, taken 3 times, daily.  The anti-arthritic properties will be felt in as little as a few hours, but generally, peak effect is seen in a week, or so.  When taken concurrently with glucosamine, best taken for knee problems, the amount of glucosamine can be substantially decreased. 

 

Transdermal (topical) Usage (Kink-Ease™)   

 

The best use of topical MSM depends on the concentration of the MSM preparation as well as on the chemistry of the base in which it is suspended.  The higher the concentration of MSM, the more rapid the onset of action. The base in which the MSM is suspended influences the depth and adequacy of penetration. Kink Ease™ is a very high concentration of MSM in an advanced transdermal base.  The base permits the high concentration of MSM to be achieved while maintaining a smooth texture.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

 

Kink Ease™ MSM Salve should be applied liberally to the shoulder, as if it were suntan lotion being applied. Pain relief will generally be experienced within 60 seconds. After 120 seconds, a second application may be performed.

 

Symptom relief can be expected to last from 2 to 6 hours, and with repeated use, the duration of action tends to lengthen.

 

Kink-Ease™ makes a superior hand foot and skin softener.  Use before bed time and awaken to incredibly soft skin. 

 

 

 

Kink Ease™ is now available in 6 ounce tubes and 32 ounce jars.

NOTE:  Kink-Ease™ will soften the skin, which makes it a wonderful product for hand and foot use.  As a foot softener, apply to the top and bottom of the foot, but do this only at bed time to prevent slipping.

Cest Wall Pain

Arthritic changes of the chest wall can result in persistent, aggravating pain.

Known as costochondritis, the pain can last for weeks, months and years.  It can be precipitated by trauma, but it can follow upper respiratory tract infection. 

Kink Ease lotion is applied to the joint between the rib and the cartilaginous portion of the rib, near or at the muscular attachment of the abdominal muscles and pectoral muscles.

To identify the joints, it is necessary to examine the chest wall. 

 

The most commonly involved joints are where the rib cartilage attaches to the breast bone. The red dots overly the chondro-sternal junctions.

To treat the pain due to arthritis of these joints, apply a few 'chocolate chip' size aliquots of Kink-Ease to the skin over the joint.  Gently rub it in, try not to 'rub it out and away.'

Plantar Fasciitis

Kink Ease can be very helpful in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.  The plantar fascia is the tight band of tissue, or ligament that connects the heel to the fore foot.   It can be damaged through routine walking, running, and weight bearing on the fore-foot.

The proper application of kink-ease can be accomplished by rubbing 1/4 tsp in the soft area of the foot, between the heel and the forefoot.

  It should be applied 3 to 4 times, daily, but the most important times are: first thing in the morning and last thing, at bed time.

Levator Scapulae Tendinitis

Shoulder pain can result from inflammation of the tendon that connects the tip of the shoulder blade to the neck.  Sometimes, pain can result from inflammation of the tendon and tendinous attachment, and this pain can be very, very difficult to control.

Kink Ease cream is very effective in treating this type of problem.  First identify the Levator Scapule by gently examining the angular portion of the shoulder blade, nearest to the spine of the neck.
 Apply 1/4 tsp to this area, rubbing it in.  A second application may be necessary.

Bicipital Tendinitis

Shoulder pain can result from inflammation of the tendon that connects the large muscle of the upper arm to the shoulder blade.  Sometimes, pain can result from inflammation of the tendon structures, and this pain can be very, very difficult to control.

Kink Ease cream is very effective in treating this type of problem.  First identify the biceps tendon by gently flexing the arm, bring the middle finger to the shoulder, and it should point to the biceps tendon.
Apply 1/4 tsp to this area, rubbing it in.  A second application may be necessary.

Transdermal Kink-ease for TMD, TMJ pain

After experience using Kink-Ease to treat arthritic and other inflammatory problems of the hands, feet, shoulders, knees and elbows, we began using the cream on other areas. 

As it turns out, many patients who complained of "TMJ" pain responded quickly to applications of Kink Ease to the TMJ area.  Using modest amounts, rubbed in gently to the joint, pain relief was noted in about 80% of patients within as little as 60 seconds.

As an added benefit, it seemed to make the skin softer and more youthful, as well.

Kink Ease is available in 6 ounce tubes and 32 ounce jars.  www.kink-ease.com

Knee Pain

Knee pain can be somewhat of a diagnostic dilemna.  The location of the pain often misleads the patient and the physician with regards as to where the pathology actually resides.

these days, the physician often listens to the patient's symptoms, orders an X-Ray and/or MRI and then attributes the symptoms to the (inevitable) abnormality found on the radiograph. 

It cannot be overstated, but a radiological finding does not imply, guarantee or attribute the finding's presence to the patient's pain or symptoms. That is, nearly every radiograph is going to demonstrate some abnormality, but that does not mean that the cause has been found.

One common problem in my practice is found with patients complaining of pain in the front or side of the knee, XR demonstrates arthritis or a 'torn cartilage,' and then they are off to surgery.  When the surgery does not help, as is often the case, the patient is permitted to recover and then may be subjected to yet another surgery, and another, and so forth.

NOTE WELL:  many of the symptoms felt in the knee are caused by tendinitis behind the knee.

To sort this out, I have patients apply Kink-ease 1/4 tsp in the area behind the knee, in the area known as the popliteal fossa.  If the problem involves one of these tendons, the pain should improve in less than a minute.

Foot Pain: Arthritis, plantar fasciitis, diabetic neuropathy

Foot pain is a very, very common complaint.  The development of arthritis in the feet can be expected to develop in essentially all persons, becoming symptomatic in women at an earlier age than men, due to the use of uncomfortable but fashionable shoes. Arthritis is usually most pronounced in the great toe, but it can involve any and all toes.

Plantar Fasciitis is a common yet difficult problem treat.  Often expensive orthotics are prescribed, oral anti-inflammatory medications may help, yet there are limitations and risks.

Diabetic neuropathy manifests as a burning, searing pain in the feet and toes.  Worsening with age, there are some medications that provide substantial relief, often at substantial cost and with substantial side-effect profiles.

NOTE WELL:   I have been very successful in treating patients with arthritis, plantar fasciitis and diabetic neuropathy with the transdermal "Kink-Ease." 

Recommended method of application:  Generally, I have my patients apply 1/4 tsp to the top and bottom of one foot, massaging it in.  After a moment or two, wipe off any excess, transfer it to the other foot, apply more (if necessary) and rub it in.
