Dear Dr. Snyder:

I'm writing to give thanks for your excellent product - Seacure - I'm a registered nurse. For the past 15 years, I've suffered very painful and debilitating effects of venous stasis ulcers on both my ankles. Since 1983, I've never gone more than 3-4 months without these wound ulcers on one or both legs, which were the result of poor circulation from an episode of thrombophlebitis. I've had major vascular surgery and grafting at the Mayo Clinic, whose head of vascular surgery there - Dr. Peter, considered my leg circulation some of the poorest he'd seen. The surgeries helped a little but the ulcers still returned on and off. The associated pain was severe and constant. I was a marathon runner when all this first happened at age 28 (I'm 43 now). I'd continued running and working as an ICU nurse despite this condition but last summer was seriously considering further surgery and going on disability. I tried literally dozens of nutritional products and am very health conscious. Neither have I smoked and rarely drink. But nothing I did offered much more than temporary relief.

I came upon your Seacure in a newsletter in which was mentioned the case of Timothy Phillips who was in danger of losing his leg from a venous ulcer but through using your product, achieved a complete healing of his ulcer. In September, 1997, I first tried Seacure -within 3-4 weeks a persistent 2-3 cm venous ulcer on my right leg cleared up. I've gone through temporary healing periods before, so as an experiment, I quit taking Seacure for a month, in which time the venous ulcer slowly and painfully returned. That convinced me to remain faithfully on Seacure. Again, within 3-4 weeks of restarting Seacure, using the recommended dose of 6 capsules a day, the ulcer cleared up, and since that time, I've gone 6 entire months with complete reduction of the inflammation and no skin breakdown what-so-ever on either leg. A miracle, as I'd never gone more than a few months without an ulcer on one or both feet, as I stated before. I've both before and after photos of my former venous ulcer sites, if they could be of possible use and if I could be sure of getting them returned to me.

In short, I am running daily and have high hopes to compete in several races this year and God willing, a marathon in September, 1998. Thank you and Bless you for marketing a product that has been a life-saver. My permission to use all or part of this letter is joyfully given. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kenton Lodwick
