The Science Of Sulfur

Sulfur Is The Single Most Important Nutrient For Skin, Hair and Fingernails

Top

This Section of this web site presents the results of research on the nutrients that help the skin become and remain healthy. The primary nutrient in this arsenal of nutrients is sulfur in a form that can be used by the body. The type of sulfur is fully described on THIS page -- it is "organic sulfur" and that term is full explained as well, on that page.

That is the subject of this Section.

The research was planned along the lines presented HERE. You can, thus, follow the thinking of the research on that link, or you can read the below text for the fully integrated story of skin science.

The atomic background of sulfur is described on this web site in accurate detail you will not find elsewhere -- it may not be necessary for you to understand all the atomic data about sulfur, but you can read as much as you wish and realize that this web site starts with the most basic of proof of the claim that "sulfur is the primary nutrient for building hair, skin and fingernails.

The next thing to know about sulfur is how it was discovered that sulfur (organic sulfur) is vital to the health and growth of animals -- producing NOT improved meat, but improved wool for clothing, or leather for leather goods or nails (hooves) to cure problems in the hooves particularly of horses where the horse was so valuable ($100,000 or more for a single horse) that a lame horse or a horse with defective feet or hooves would cost the owner many thousands of dollars and sometimes mean that an otherwise valuable horse might have to be "put down."

Those commercial firms interested in improving the skin of humans STARTED with a purpose of using the drugs and chemicals they already had a vested interest in. After all, there would be no value to a commercial enterprise to research some "common facial exercise technique" which would greatly improve the health and beauty of the skin. (There is exactly that technology described on THIS web site.) Anything as simple as a facial exercise procedure could not be patented nor hidden in a fancy jar with chemicals and high selling price.

But, if you realize that all over the world sheep have been raised for their wool (as well, mostly in the US, for their meat) you might be interested in researching just how the sheep wool could become a higher quality, or more of it per sheep.

When you hear of "research on the Moreno Sheep" you might not know to relate that directly to "research on human skin." But if you found many thousands of scientific studies researching this or that factor of what makes a certain breed of sheep, or a sheep that mostly eats some particular type of food -- such a sheep that has an unusual degree of quality of wool -- why you would probably figure out what caused that nice change.

This web site is full of many such references to research done with sheep -- mostly outside the US because in the US almost all the interest in sheep was for meat -- not leather or wool.

CLICK HERE for the beginning of dozens of pages that describe the history of sheep and their care and feeding -- leading to better wool and better leather because of use of sulfur in their diets.

So, here are some links to the fascinating data about "sheep" that you wouldn't ordinarily show interest in -- but if you want to prove to yourself that "sulfur" is an important nutrient for creating healthy skin, the evidence is on this web site.

After you have read the above link about those sheep, you have almost completed your journey toward the conclusion that using organic sulfur can, somehow, improve the health and beauty of your skin.

You have a ways to go yet, for instance, how does that sulfur, in some form, get to the cells in the skin that need it when the people most interested in this nutrition suffer from poor flow of fluids such as blood and lymph that could bring this sulfur to the cells if you swallowed this sulfur.

The answer comes with understanding the term "transdermal" and the startling properties of organic sulfur (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) to not only penetrate through the skin, but to carry other substances along with it. That is a fascinating journey in its own stead!
