33 SENIOR SOFTBALL GAMES PREVIOUS, YEAR (IN PAIN)

104 GAMES NEXT YEAR (NO PAIN)

I had been playing Senior Softball the previous three years and it was painful to walk, much less play softball. Six months later (1995), after taking Maritime Pine Plus® with the unique Cellular Delivery System with Enzymes, the improvement in my body wellness had truly been amazing. Blood pressure from 140/95 to 120/80 in five months.  It really cleans out the pipes; the arteries, veins and capillaries.

It had been the first time in 36 years that my left knee had not hurt.  The lateral cartilage in my left knee was surgically removed in 1959 (constant pounding over the next ten years undoubtedly flattened the inside cartilage to wafer-thin).  In 1992 1 wrenched my right knee ... MRI's on both knees, the doctor said, "There's nothing there, you're bone on bone on both knees and need knee replacements (on both knees)." I said, "No way, I'll play with the pain!"

Absolutely NO PAIN in my knees since Maritime Pine Plus®, Nov. 1994 and they don't lock up anymore that made me limp around, sometimes for days.  Arthritis in toes is GONE!  Incredible!!!

My lungs are cleared out.  I'm still a smoker but need to quit for good.

The angry purple and red growth the size of a pencil eraser on my forehead (that was scary) had almost vanished and the color had changed to a dull brown.  I felt the growth break up one day while rubbing it after about five weeks on Maritime Pine Plus®.

My overall skin condition continued to soften.  I had been plagued since my teens with sandpapery hands, the skin on the joint would crack and bleed, especially in cold weather.  At times, even in high school, all of my fingers would be covered with band-aids.

My vision is much better.  I can now read street signs across the street with my glasses off.

Constant bad weather kept us from practicing for our spring softball games (1995).  The first inning of our first game, I ran too fast to first base and pulled a muscle in my left leg's inner thigh (here's a month's recovery).  By the second inning, the pain of the muscle pull was gone.

In the third inning, I threw too hard to second base from left field and pulled a muscle in my right chest (well, this pain isn't going to go away like the leg pull).  By the next inning that pain was gone and I could throw normally.

The recuperative time of those two injuries is truly remarkable.

An athlete knows approximately how long it will take to recover from an injury.  Being a four-sport athlete in high school, still holding the quarter-mile track record at Yuba College (47.7), not broken for 43 years (1 958) and posting the tenth fastest quarter mile time in the world in 1959 (47.2) out of San Jose State, I speak from some athletic experience.

SWIFT RECUPERATIVE TIME FROM SPORTS INJURIES 

Maritime Pine Plus® has definitely rolled back many years off my body. In early June ('95), I played with the South Placer Stars in the (Reno) tournament at Sparks, Nevada (3 games Friday, 2 Saturday and 2 Sunday).  During the 2nd game Friday, I pulled a groin muscle in the inner thigh of my left leg (first injured in early March).

We only had 10 guys so I had to gut it out.  Every time I got a hit, I had to hobble to lst base and get a pinch-runner.  The first thing I did after the games was to take 10 Maritime Pine Plus® tablets (over-saturation dosage).  Took 10 more the next morning and took a booster dosage of four tablets about a half hour before the Saturday games. .

An analgesic cream application as a muscle warmer ... and I ran like a scalded cat all weekend with no strain on the pulled muscle (like it never happened).  Another victory for Pycnogenbl.  It was great!!!

I turned 61 on June 27th .. and -feel like I'm 35 or 40.  Really I do.

PS. This summer, I sprained my hand locking my car door (Boy, this isn't going away for at least a week).  The next day the PAIN WAS GONE!

UPDATE 2001:

Maritime Pine Plus® is continuing its miracles these past six years in spite of softball injuries that have included (in different years) a BADLY sprained left wrist, BADLY sprained right ankle , a crooked finger by executing a double play too quickly from 2nd base and a broken arm ... all playing softball!

The broken arm?  I didn't think it was broken but the pain was severe enough that I went to the hospital.  The doctor showed me the X-ray and, to my surprise, said, "Your arm's broken but what's unusual is that it's a greenstick break.  This usually happens in young people." He explained it was a bend-break" that doesn't fracture, just kind of "splinters" like when you bend a green sapling.

Sure enough, it was broke.  It took me three months before I could throw again.

Last fall, I didn't see a person when I pounced on my bike outside the office and took a left turn.  I quickly steered to the right, gravity took over and my left hip slammed to the sidewalk.  Not even a bruise and no pain the next day.  Amazing!

April, 2001, 1 took a blazing grounder at 2nd base in the 4th inning.  It took a bad hop and blasted my I left wrist just above the glove.  Complete discoloration; purple, red and black over a 3"xl - 1 /2" area.  At game's end, to my utter amazement, the discoloration was 70% gone, next day easily 90% gone and the second day, skin color was normal.  A true testament to complete blood capillary flushing and rejuvenating flow.

I've had lots of fun recently asking people how young, l look.  Almost every response. has been, "Oh, early or mid-50's."   I'm a Real Happy Camper .... thanks to Maritime Pine Plus®.
