“In 2016, I could barely lift a fork to my mouth”
Now, in my early 60s, I lift 180 lbs in bench press, and am in the shape of my life! How is that possible?
The stroke
In 2015 I suffered from a stroke. It was a dramatic experience, and without the quick intervention from trained professionals, I would not been alive today. The stroke came after a stressful period, both at work and in my spare time. I had been overworked for some time, and this had an unfortunate consequence. There are limits to what the body can withstand.
The time after
Stroke patients have daily challenges that other people do not see. Controlling arms and legs is difficult, common words disappear from daily speech, and short time memory fails at times.
I got severely reduced fingers and face mobility, which made even the simplest tasks prohibitive.
Wear in the muscles and joints, which I also had noticed before the stroke, was far tougher. Essential medicines had the side effect that all food tasted generally poor; especially seafood was difficult. Fish and seafood have always made me unwell, although I don’t have any proven allergies.
The way back
The period after the stroke was extremely tough. I went through rehabilitation for several months, without much progress.
I came into contact with an Asian, who tipped me off about dried sea cucumber. He argued that this bottom dwelling animal contained so many good substances that it could have a good effect on my condition.
It should be said that I had no particular faith in this. After the stroke, I had tested a number of different supplements, hoping for a miracle cure.
But since I had nothing to lose, I was willing to try everything to get better.
I therefore tested out the sea cucumber extract. After a few months, things started to happen with my body. Small but clear changes.
I didn’t feel sick all the time, and the tendency to constantly be unwell disappeared.
The most significantly was the combination of pure physical strength and joy of life, which gradually became stronger.
My therapists also noticed this, and they asked me to give a little more in the training sessions. When I did so, the improvements came fast. The more I practiced, the stronger I became, and the mood and extra energy followed closely.
Life today
I live a very active life, and am really proud of my results after the convalescence period. I exercise a lot, and walk for several hours every day, without getting wear and tear injuries. 3 years ago I could barely lift a fork to my mouth. Now, at the age of 61 I lift 180 lbs in bench press. That feeling of mastery and enjoyment of life is almost indescribable. Every day I get up to tackle the day’s tasks is a gift I enjoy to the fullest.
Research
As a result of my experience, I have become involved in a research project on sea cucumber. The project, which will run over 5 years, is a collaboration between SINTEF University in Trondheim and Seafood Home, where several researchers showed great interest in my results. The purpose of the project is to study the health effects of consuming sea cucumber over time.
What is a stroke?
A stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain causes cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. Both cause parts of the brain to stop functioning properly.

Sea cucumbers has a large amount, up to 18 of the 20 common amino acids, with the mentioned Glycine as the major. It is also very rich in the important Omega 3 fatty acid. The human body doesn´t produce this itself, so we need to obtain it through food (marine) or supplement. The most important of these Omega 3 acids are EPA and DHA, which contributes in maintaining a normal blood pressure, and normal brain and heart function.

Antioxidants
Antioxidants are compounds that minimize the effect of free radical oxygen molecules, which are oxygen isotopes that are thought to cause damage to cells within the body in excess. Sea cucumbers are rich in antioxidants and polyphenols (micronutrients from plant-based foods), which have been linked to a reduction inflammation in the body.
-
Chondroitin sulfate
Chondroitin sulfate – Sea cucumbers have also been found to contain high levels of this, a common nutrition in supplements, often used in conjunction with glucosamine (also in the sea cucumber) to alleviate osteoarthritis.
-
Magnesium
Sea cucumbers are loaded with magnesium, which makes them a great boost for bone health. And, as some studies have shown, magnesium helps with anxiety as well.
-
Collagen
Collagen is known to have a variety of health benefits for heart disease, joint pain, arthritis, and the effects of aging on skin appearance.
-
Zinc
Zinc is a trace mineral, meaning that the body only needs small amounts, and yet it is necessary for almost 100 enzymes to carry out vital chemical reactions. It is a major player in the creation of DNA, growth of cells, building proteins, healing damaged tissue, and supporting a healthy immune system.

Calcium
Another critical bone health component, calcium also helps your heart and muscles function properly. In fact, some research has suggested a link between calcium and disease prevention.
-
Iron
Iron is a major component of hemoglobin, a type of protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to all parts of the body. Without enough iron, there aren’t enough red blood cells to transport oxygen, which leads to fatigue.

Vitamin A
Vitamin A moves through the body and has a wide range of benefits. This vitamin affects almost every aspect of your health, including heart and kidney function, brain health, proper skin, lungs, and vision, plus it can give a potent boost to your immune system.

Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is another crucial energy supplier in your body. Vitamin B2 helps you break down carbs, fats, and proteins and convert them into useful energy. It’s also critical in the body’s absorption of oxygen.

Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3, Niacin is a powerful vitamin with many health benefits. It can help maintain healthy heart function, and it may also reduce feelings of joint pain or stiffness related to arthritis. Plus, vitamin B3 has been shown to help with cognitive health.
-
Vitamin D
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal bone mineralization and to prevent hypocalcemic tetany (involuntary contraction of muscles, leading to cramps and spasms). It is also needed for bone growth and remodeling. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis.

IODINE
Due to its important role in fetal and infant development and thyroid hormone production, iodine is a essential nutrient for proper health at all life stages. This section focuses on four areas of biomedical research examining iodine’s role in health and disease: fetal and infant development, cognitive function during childhood, fibrocystic breast disease, and radiation-induced thyroid cancer.
