Between 1994-95, Seagate provided free samples of the shark cartilage 100 capsule bottles to anyone in the San Diego area that we could find that had joint pain or arthritis. (Most people with joint pain don’t bother getting a proper diagnosis and just live with the pain and occasionally take painkillers when it really becomes intolerable.) Seagate gave away hundreds of sample bottles in order to prove or disprove the claim that was circulating throughout the health food industry industry, that shark cartilage helps with joint pain. The results were so good, that many of these people contacted the local chapter of the Arthritis Foundation, who then put us into contact with a rheumatologist, one of their key researchers, Dr. (”X” - he doesn’t want us to use his name), at UCSD Medical School in San Diego. Dr. X’ focus has been to find a natural food whose digestion would produce a simple protein similar in structure to the peptide that is secreted by joint cells when they are irritated. He believed in 1996 that Seagate Shark Cartilage might have this property. Unfortunately we did not have the $100,000 to begin funding that research at that time. Dr. X’s theory was that when a joint is irritated, it gives off a secretion that includes a simple protein (peptide). This peptide is almost identical in structure to the E. Coli bacteria. In some people, the body’s immune system is unable to detect that this peptide is really not an infection. The body mistakenly sends a set of T-Cells (antibodies) to the site of this perceived infection, which is the area in and around the affected joint. These antibodies not only attack those peptides secreted by the joint but also attack the cells lining the joint, further causing their irritation and further break-down, causing the release of more of this peptide. This cycle continues with the joint slowly being destroyed by the body’s own immune system — an auto-immune malfunction. Under Dr. X’s theory, a person could take an edible form of this identical peptide as a solution to their joint pain. The food-derived peptide would circulate throughout the body and allow for two things to occur: #1 It would divert the attack of the body’s T-cells away from the affected joint, allowing it time to heal and recover; and #2 over time, this exposure every day to the food peptide might act like an allergy shot – allowing the body to acclimate itself to that peptide and eventually stop reacting to that simple protein given off by the joint and ending the auto-immune attack by the body against that joint. In the 15+ years that Seagate has been producing shark cartilage, most people taking it for joint pain, seem to feel a response within 2-3 weeks and are able to reduce and sometimes eliminate using shark cartilage within 4-6 months. Similar results have been reported by people also using shark liver oil. Shark Cartilage and Shark Liver Oil are classified as supplements and therefore Seagate is not allowed to make any medical claims. |

Your shark cartilage has helped me alot with fighting th constant battle of severly crippling rheumatoid arthritis and I did not realize just how much until I ran out of it and started to relapse! and then figured out it was because I had stopped taking it.It also seems to keep my blood sugar from spiking after mealtime so that now I can eat a little bit of organic fruit or whole grains as long as it is mixed in with some faceless protein. I hope this info from my own experience helps someone else.

seagate shark cartilage DOES work as a natural pain remedy, and is also a natural anti-inflammatory! A great way to supplement a sensible diet.

i would like to know, from the seagate company, should we cook with olive oil? there have been sooo many comments;i just want the truth!! thank you.
Seagate replies-Melanye, You should cook with olive oil, eat it, use it in your salad, put it on your skin, and substitute it for all other animal-based fats (ie. butter) …. and you will be much healthier. The FDA believes it is so good for you that we can place a statement on our labels that Olive Oil may reduce the chance of coronary heart disease.

I have RA and am about to start the fungal diet -
How is your shark product differ from other Omega 3, 6 products? I’m fussy- does it have an overly fishy after taste?
I cant get the entire fungal kit - which supplement would be most beneficial for me?
I just know some products upset my stomach.
Thank you so much for your time,
Lori
Seagate replies — Hello Lori- Here are your answers:
1) The shark cartilage is a powder. It is generally used for joint applications. The Shark Liver Oil comes, as its name states, from the shark liver. It is high in vitamins and omega-3’s. It does not have omega-6. Both products have a distinct natural fishy odor … the come from fish. Most people do not have a fishy after-taste. A few do. This can be remedied by taking it with a meal. This product also works well for joint applications.
2) Of the items in the anti-fungal kit, the olive leaf extract is the most important.
If you would like to try a couple of shark cartilage or shark liver oil capsules to test your stomach, contact us with your address and your request using the contact form on our homepage - http://www.seagateproducts.com - and we will send you some samples.
Thank you.

My best results from eating the shark cartilage have been by eating it with a glass of water to wash it down, when I get up. Then, repeat in about a half an hour. Then again in about a half an hour. I have eaten about 8 300 capsule bottles and for some reason, this method has produced the best results. Hope this helps someone else.

I am allergic to fish and yeast and have degenerative athritis under my left knee cap, would I be able to take your Shark Cartilage? Thank you.
Seagate replies - If you are allergic to fish, you may be allergic to shark cartilage. If you go to our home page go to the contacts link and request a sample with your mailing address. We’ll send you a little packet with a couple of capsules to try. There is no yeast in shark cartilage.
