In the last two issues, I told you about an incredible new antioxidant called Seanol. Unfortunately, space limitations prevented me from telling you about two fibromyalgia patients where Seanol worked wonders.
The first is Rebecca Tatum (age 48). She worked for 21 years as a busy RN. She became ill and went on total disability in June 2001. Her conventional doctors said she had fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical and lumbar spine disability, cognitive impairment, and carpal tunnel syndrome with hand-tendon and joint inflammation.
But her description of her condition is more telling, My upper body is like having a Charley horse 24 hours a day. I got adrenal failure 18 months ago. Its hard to fight inflammation.
She tried acupuncture, then Motrin, and other NSAID drugs (Tylenol, aspirin, and Tramadol). Finally SOMA and Vicodin gave her some relief.
Then she started Seanol. After just one week, she said, I am now getting the best sleep Ive ever had in my entire life. Deep and quality sleep. My healthy husband is taking it too, and hes sleeping better as well. My cognitive function is better. Its too early to tell about the pain.
Then there is Diane (age 53) from Washington, who also suffered from fibromyalgia. Once a vigorous domestic engineer, she could scarcely take a shower or make dinner for her husband. Her momhad to drive to her house to cook for the family. Her doctors tried to convince her that she was an emotional woman and gave her mind-altering drugs. Her husband stood by her side and rebuffed the doctors.
Recent testing showed that her levels of the important neurotransmitter serotonin and HGH (human growth hormone) were too low to measure.
She found a rheumatologist, who provided her with conventional drugs (Celebrex and Zoloft, an antidepressant), which did help some. He also gave her a drug (Metformin) for newly onset adult diabetes. Diane then started on the Seanol. Within four to six weeks, her serotonin and HGH became measurable. Her hemoglobin A1C, a marker for diabetic damage dropped from 6.4 to 6 even with the diabetic drug discontinued. She finally had sound healing REM sleep. She says, I am still taking some drugs. But Seanol has given me back a quality of life. My ability to function has gone from 0 to seven or eight on a scale of 10. I recently rode 44 miles on a dirt bike and I am happy to say that I did not flare up. And I am totally functional in the house.
