Karl's Research And Dr. MSR Ayyangar's Have Produced A New Form of MSM -- Never Before Seen

This is the second in a new series of electronic newsletters written personally by Karl Loren -- all new stuff.
Sulfur Came Before Oxygen
In some primordial beginning time, perhaps known only to Darwin, there was a sea of ammonia and an atmosphere of vacuum we couldn't breathe today.
. . .
Back in those early times there was no oxygen to breathe:
A switch from predominantly undersea volcanoes to a mix of undersea and terrestrial ones shifted the Earth's atmosphere from devoid of oxygen to one with free oxygen, according to geologists.
"The rise of oxygen allowed for the evolution of complex oxygen-breathing life forms," says Lee R. Kump, professor of geoscience, Penn State. (SOURCE)
Today there are still volcanoes erupting, some at the bottom of the sea -- they still spew out sulfur and now we know there are sulfur-eating microbes that never touch oxygen, but live quite nicely on sulfur, thank you.
lava-derived minerals in the sea floor may be nourishing mineral-metabolizing microbes.(source)
While the sea is full of microorganisms that can and do live by eating rocks, it will surprise many that the soils USED to be the same way.
You remember the dirt of your childhood (if you are over 70) and how rich it was in earth worms, particularly when it rained. In fact the soils of our ancestors were filled with tiny micro-organisms, like worms but much smaller. They would take in rock (as an INORGAIC mineral) as food, and their waste product was that same rock but now magically transformed into an organic form -- the molecules got transformed -- alchemy!
When plants don't get the minerals, or when trees don't get those minerals, they catch fire from lightening of campfires far more easily. They die from insects. The plants die, but not to worry because we have chemicals that prevent them from burning, that prevent the fungus, that prevent just about everything INCLUDING life.
The lack of minerals in the soil is aggravated by those few years when the farming took them out, hurray, but there was nothing put back except chemicals -- and the worms are dead even if there are still some rocks around.
Sulfur is a special case -- of all the minerals it turns out that sulfur is the key to life.
