The cytokine storm another phrase for Allergic reaction. I used to use MSM for allergies. A nutritional form of sulfur. It removes any foreign protein from your body "before" you have a reaction.
It works so well that If you drink alcohol. Your tolerance will go way up. It detoxifies so quickly that you don't get nearly as drunk off the same amount of alcohol.
Since you have a foreign protein being produced in your body I would bet that MSM would be very likely to help with any allergic reactions.

MSM is one supplement I would never be without. I use it in both powdered and capsule form. I really like the Jarrow brand. It's inexpensive, costing about 12-14 USD for 450 servings!
You have to start out SLOW! As you said, it's a powerful detoxifier. Let the old body get used to it.

Have you researched the Zinc-Quercitin-Vitamin C protocol? I haven't had so much as a sniffle since I started doing this quite some time ago. It will prevent, or at least reduce the nightmarish cytokine reactions in the immune system.

The quercitin transports the zinc into the cell, where it can do its job.
Zinc and quercetin work together in the body. Quercetin helps enhance the absorption of zinc, and both have similar antiviral functions.
Quercitin is flat-out amazing.
You have to tweak your personal dose of the zinc and quercitin combo. You don't want to overdo either.
People often think more is better. The quercitin will sometimes stimulate a mild reaction with me, like a minor allergic reaction. A slight itching, and watery eyes. At that point, I wont take it for 24-36 hours.
As for the zinc, usually about 30mg a day. This is one of the best on the market.
Add 2 doses of time release vitamin C twice a day. (also inexpensive), and bromelain twice a day.
Now you're damn-near bulletproof.
