THE FOUNDERS
My name is Sean Covell and the story I have to tell is one about my father and myself.
At a very young age, my father Marlon was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis. He suffered with severe pain in his feet and back. Before the age of 27 he walked with the help of a cane and had nearly lost vision in both of his eyes due to a form of arthritis called Iritis. Marlon was in misery every morning as he crawled from his bed to the bathroom. However, during this time he continued to work many jobs to support his wife and kids. Flagging fields, moving furniture, and working graveyard shifts as a security guard were all incredibly painful with arthritis.
Some of my earliest memories were of my father crawling on the ground and me hopping on his back, thinking that it was a game. Little did I know that my Dad could barely hold himself up, let alone hold me. His feet were inflamed for so many years that eventually he would need surgery to remove part of his heel bones and remove scar tissue from his ankles. His eyesight would come and go. I would have to dilate his eyes to keep them from becoming permanently scarred. He suffered for years, receiving little help from the anti-inflammatory medicines and cortisone injections the doctors prescribed. My father's body was old, but he was not yet thirty. The doctors wanted to put him on methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug used in cancer treatment. While this may be good for some arthritis patients, it requires regular blood panels to check for liver and kidney damage. It also leaves patients wide open to infections.
My dad then began to listen to informative radio and television shows about health. He started to read scientific journals and books on dieting, nutrition, and alternative therapies. He learned how to control his arthritis by putting what he learned into practice. Before long, he was nearly pain free and was no longer crawling to the bathroom. He even began to play racquetball and lift weights.
By the time I was 16, my father had been pain free for years. However, in the middle of my sophomore year of high school, I was suffering with severe pain in my hips and back. After three years of seeing doctors and being misdiagnosed, a rheumatologist finally discovered that I had Ankylosing Spondylitis, a type of inflammatory arthritis of the spine. I quickly decided to refuse the traditional western medication that was prescribed, and opted to follow in the footsteps of my father.
Today, my father and I are both pain free. I am now a personal trainer who deals with many clients that experience symptoms of pain, arthritis, fatigue, and other issues that western medicine has failed to solve. Therefore, in a joint effort with my father, we have decided to publish a site that contains the knowledge and research we have used to completely change our lives and put our arthritis pain into remission. What you will find in this site is a database of the latest research regarding supplementation, training, and nutrition that can be used to greatly improve the quality of your life.

Marlon Covell suffered from severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for many years and received no relief from traditional Western medicine.

However, after many years of research and trying different alternative medicines, he is now in excellent health and is living pain-free. He enjoys helping others find alternative ways to treat their health problems.
