While some medications are just as fast-acting as MSM, most pain and antiinflammatory medications cause serious side effects.

Apple sauce, pickled beets, sauerkraut, squash and pumpkin pies shouldn't be without them either.

Cruciferous Vegetables This group of antioxidant-rich vegetables (broccoli, brus-sels sprouts, cabbage, kale, etc.) contains—along with vitamin C and other flavonoids—phytochemicals called indoles and sulforaphane. Indoles inactivate estrogens that can promote the growth of tumors, particularly those in the breast. Sulforaphane has been found to stimulate cells to produce cancer-fighting enzymes. The combination of all these potent antioxidants in cruciferous vegetables has been found to help protect against many forms of cancer.

About half the indole derivatives are lost in cooking, according to Science News (11/25/89).
