You might be thinking you can't use MSM because you have a “sulfur allergy.” That is a misconception: sulfur is an element, the third most abundant mineral in the human body. It's not possible to be allergic to sulfur because it has no protein component. When people say they are "allergic to sulfur", what they really mean is that they are allergic or sensitive to certain sulfur-containing substances, most notably to sulfa antibiotics (sulfonamides) or to sulfites (preservatives used in wines and some foods), or to foods with a high sulfur content (broccoli or cauliflower). Individuals with allergies to sulfa drugs or to sulfites do not experience problems taking MSM, because apart from sulfur, MSM bears no relation to these substances. Hundreds of case histories of successful reduction or elimination of allergies; both airborne and food allergies!

Some studies have shown, MSM nearly doubling the lifespan of animals prone to developing autoimmune diseases. Our elderly dog is on 4000mgs a day - split in 2 doses.

MSM can be found in many foods, unfortunetly, food processing destroys much of the MSM.
