Powerful Joint Cream Works Better Than Vioxx or Celebrex — Without the Side Effects
Powerful Joint Cream Works Better Than Statins Without the Side Effects
Two years ago, you were the first to read breakthrough news about a most amazing product from the sea called Seanol. Seanol is a term for bioflavonoids (polyphenols) found in a particular marine seaweed (Ecklonia cava), which grows off the coast of Korea. The Koreans have used this seaweed as a food for centuries. But Dr. Haengwoo Lee found that it wasn’t an ordinary food.
Dr. Lee discovered that the plant produces what appears to be the most complex and powerful polyphenol known to man. And the supplement made from these polyphenols is the most potent antioxidant I’ve used.
Now, Dr. Lee has developed a formulation that holds incredible promise to relieve you of arthritis pain. And you don’t need to visit your doctor or take a toxic drug. In fact, you don’t have to take anything. Let me explain.
Seanol is a mix of polyphenols that are both water and lipid soluble. The latter allows it to get into your brain. And the former makes it easily absorbed by your body and used in the general waters of your body.
But Dr. Lee’s latest innovation separates these two forms and concentrates the lipid soluble fraction, which he calls Mitol. When formulated into a high quality cream, the lipid soluble polyphenol passes easily through your skin.
It can concentrate directly into any inflamed tissues you apply it to. These include your joints (arthritis), skin (dermatitis), tendons (tendonitis), and muscles (generalized muscle aches, fibromyalgia, etc.).
We now know, thanks to Dr. Lee, that Mitol has the amazing power to modulate inflammation. Inflammation, as I’ve explained before, is the source of pain, tissue damage, and tissue destruction. How can this one supplement possibly do so much?
Everyday wear and tear and injury causes your body to release enzymes that promote inflammation. Inflammation is not all bad. It’s your body’s way of
breaking down, eliminating and/or repairing worn out or damaged tissue.
The problem is when inflammation is sustained, causing more break down than repair and replacement. For example, if this occurs in your joints, the inflammation will break down your cartilage, causing severe damage and pain. In your skin, inflammation will dissolve your collagen, which leads to thinning and/or rashes.
There are some key aging and pro-inflammatory enzymes in your skin and cartilage. One is the cox-2 enzyme. That is cyclooxygenase, a powerful promoter of inflammation.
Dr. Lee studied his topical Mitol product on about 400 patients. It proved more effective than the highly touted and expensive drug Celebrex. The researchers split up the participants into roughly equivalent groups of 200 each.
They compared topical Mitol to ingested statin drugs. Then they measured all four parameters of arthritis: pain, stiffness, physical function, and composite score. After just six weeks, the Mitol was better than statin drugs.
I’ve told you that NSAIDs may reduce your pain today and actually destroy your cartilage tomorrow. Not so for these nature-made nutrients. Unlike drugs, they help to optimize balance in your healing pathways. Drugs are like an iron hammer.
In the past, I’ve told you about hyaluronic acid for treating joint pain. Both conventional doctors and alternative doctors have turned to injections of hyaluronic acid into joints like your knee and hips to cushion degenerating cartilage.
Why go through expensive injections when there’s a cheaper and painless way to increase your hyaluronic acid? Mitol inhibits an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
This enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid. So instead of adding hyaluronic acid, Mitol gives you an easy way to boost your body’s own production of the joint lubricant.
Why is Mitol so effective? Dr. Lee performed a study on mice to answer that question. His researchers gave the mice pro-inflammatory UV-B irradiation to their skin. This ramps up the cox-2 enzymes.
Then they gave the mice Mitol, which reduced the activation of cox-2 by 70%. In other words, you don’t need cox-2 drugs to stop joint pain. A simple, natural cream can do it more effectively and without the toxic side effects.
That’s how the cream stops joint pain. But Dr. Lee found that Mitol can help your skin as well. In fact, Dr. Lee found that Mitol actually prevented skin cancer in mice. And in those mice with skin cancer, it reduced their tumor volume up to 43% and cellular division by 60%. Both oral and topical Mitol were effective.
There’s more. Mitol might actually prevent and reverse the wrinkling and sagging of your aging skin. It inhibits a key enzyme matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) by up to 80%. This is comparable to the antibiotic drug doxycycline. MMP breaks down your collagen. MMP rises with age, sun damage, and other inflammatory promoters.
Mitol suppresses the highly pro-inflammatory chemical called tumor necrosis factor alpha. It reduces another highly inflammatory enzyme called inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS) by 90%.
Mitol also inhibits an enzyme called elastase. This enzyme permanently breaks down the elastic proteins in your skin.
It has extremely potent free-radical scavenging abilities, probably the highest of the bioflavonoids because of its highly complicated structure. It has up to eight polyphenol rings, which makes it much stronger than any other polyphenol. It’s an extremely powerful antibacterial. And it also promotes circulation.
I mentioned earlier that Mitol inhibits an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. In addition to aiding in joint health, this acid is necessary for moisture retention in your skin. And skin moisture is required for suppleness.
Less hyaluronic acid means more moisture loss. So Mitol works in several ways to keep your skin moist and supple.
How well does it work? Photographs of skin treated with Mitol demonstrate the elimination of fine facial wrinkling and the ability to lighten age spots. The latter are often due to free radical damage.
Mitol is available in a preparation called Algaea-X for topical use. Algaea-X is a special formulation for joints. Other topical preparations for skin lightening, wrinkle improvement, sun burn, scar recovery, and eczema are in the works. I’ll let you know about these when available.
You can order Algaea-X from Advanced Bionutritionals, which also carries Seanol in the product Fibroboost (the most potent oral Seanol product on the market).
While Fibroboost will help your joint pain, Algaea-X allows you to direct these wondrous polyphenols to your most affected areas. So the results come faster and they’re more pronounced.

Dr. Robert Jay Rowen, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Johns Hopkins University and graduate of the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine is internationally known for his work in the field of complementary/alternative/integrative medicine. He is affectionately known as the Father of Medical Freedom for pioneering the nation’s first statutory protection for alternative medicine in 1990 in Alaska, against a concerted opposition from the organized medical community and an imported quackbuster.
A few years later, the Alaska governor appointed him to a term on the state medical board against overwhelming opposition from the medical establishment. His appointment was ultimately confirmed by the legislature with overwhelming public support. The rare medical freedom he enjoyed in Alaska enabled him to greatly expand knowledge and experience in a multitude of disciplines and therapies not normally found in medicine.
Jumping into alternative medicine in 1983 through a practice in acupuncture, he quickly expanded to nutritional medicine, chelation therapy, oxidation therapy, homeopathy and herbal medicine, and took intensive training in neural therapy and prolotherapy to help treat and eliminate acute and chronic pain. Alaska’s laws enabled him to work extensively with innovative cancer therapies, ozone, and ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy. He is internationally known and respected for training hundreds of open-minded physicians in these techniques from around the world.
In 2001, he became editor in chief of Second Opinion, one of the nation’s leading monthly publications revealing the frontiers of medicine. Thus, he reduced his practice load considerably to write and teach, and relocated from Alaska to California where he works part time with his like minded talented wife, Terri Su, MD at her Santa Rosa office, Radiant Health Medical Center, in the north Bay area.
You are cordially invited to journey with him into the frontiers of medicine with a free past issue of Second Opinion. Dr. Rowen has authored numerous articles and some of which may be read online.
Dead impressive: The Seven Natural Wonders
If you’ve ever pondered where the most awe-inspiring places on Earth are to be found, there will soon be a handy checklist to take on your international adventures, thanks to The7wonders.com competition.
The The7wonders.com photographs are glimpses of the most sublime landscapes in the world. Contenders include the Galapagos Islands, the Grand Canyon and the Great Barrier Reef.
The Dead Sea is a finalist in the competition, which is being touted as “democratic”. Everybody has the opportunity to have their say by logging on to the site and selecting a list of seven of their own favourites from the 28 finalists.
The Dead Sea is a salt lake stretching across the borders of West Lake, Palestine and Israel to the West and Jordan to the East. The sea tallies up impressive statistics: the surface and the shores are 1,384ft below sea level, making this the lowest elevation of the Earth’s surface on land and is 1,240ft deep. This makes The Dead Sea the deepest hyper-saline lake in the world. The lake is also 33.7% salt, 8.6 times as salty as oceans. The high salt content makes the area uninhabitable, accounting for the macabre name.
Although The Dead Sea does not sustain life, it does improve the lives of those with skin disorders such as psoriasis, acne, eczema, scabies, dermatitis and seborrhoea as the sea has an extremely high mineral content and low pollution levels.
The Dead Sea has been considered a place of healing since the time of Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher who praised its remarkable properties. People flock from around the world to bathe in the healing waters and to rub black mineral mud onto their bodies. Even cosmetic companies attempt to bottle up the natural goodness and sell anti-wrinkle products on the same basis.
