The therapeutic action of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) may be mediated, at least in part, by MSM (Gerhards & Gibian, 1967; ...

Often, the symptoms are preceded by a viral upper respiratory tract infection.
Other symptoms are: arthritis (75%, non-erosive, often present before all other symptoms), abdominal pain (65%), intestinal bleed ...
