“At this point in time I really don’t have an opinion and that’s only because I am still studying the book. I will say however, that SaltWrap my be the solution to my problem. After over 40 years of fixing cars, pulling wrenches, operating impact wrenches, and air hammers my hands HURT! I have been bombarded with sales pitches for supplements that say their product will fix my problem. I don’t know who to believe, and they’re all so expensive. I am 70 years old and about to turn my hobby (playing guitar, singing and song writing) into a new career. I need my hands to function without pain!”

“Thank you so much for your book "Built from Broken", which is one of the best injury-recovery books I’ve ever seen (and I’ve got plenty of them…) . I’ve dealt with several minor muscular skeletal injuries over time and find that your info is extremely helpful. It’s become my rebuild-bible for any little injury. I refer to it all the time and have told friends about it too. I also like and am using your fitness journal. I look forward to trying your new Sunrise morning journal too as soon as it arrives (just ordered). Thank you for these excellent tools, which are very helpful.”

“The book, Built from Broken, is great. Very informative with lots of references to back up what he wrote. The information on collagen, changing the speed of my repetitions, the shoulder stretches have all helped this 70 YO feel much better in a relatively short time.”

“The book, Built from Broken, is well written and full of helpful information. At 70 years old, past injuries have caught up to me. The information about collagen has me taking it daily. It is too early to tell about long term improvements but, minor scrapes seem to heal quickly now. Changing the speed of exercises has reduced pain in my elbows. My shoulders feel better doing the exercises described in that section of the book. It's all good stuff.”

“I'm on week two of BFB and I liking the way my body is feeling. Am looking forward to upcoming weeks! I have a request or suggestion. Looking at the pictures in Chapter 11, I thought I knew the exercises, but when I read the instructions I usually realize I have been doing them wrong for years. Or too fast. Or something else. The instructions matter, and each time I read them I "take in" a new aspect of the exercise. But thumbing through the book to find the next exercise is tedious and way too time consuming. My request or suggestion is that you either make (and sell) a set of cards with one exercise on each, or make (and sell) a printable version of Chapter 11 so that I can print out my own cards or pages. Just a thought.”

“SaltWrap has been a great resource for nutrition and information. I first discovered their great products with the book "Built from Broken". After visiting their web page I decided to purchase Joint Clinic to assist with healing a nagging elbow injury. I could not be happier with the results! Following the advice and workout programs in "Built from Broken", and taking Joint Clinic according to the recommended schedule has healed my elbow. Not only did my elbow heal up in a few weeks, but I also got stronger while on the program - an unexpected result. I have recommended both the book and Joint Clinic to friends and colleagues with similar issues. I highly recommend these products for anyone with joint injuries that just don't seem to heal.”

“I'm 62 years old and sadly out of shape. When I injured my Achilles tendon a second time in five years I was researching alternative pain management when I stumbled on the book 'Built from Broken'. The first time I resorted to ibuprofen and other otc meds to help with pain. It took over two years, followed by detoxing from all the meds to finally get relief. The book suggested trying Collagen along with a specific exercise approach to recovery. I implemented the instructions and have had almost immediately the pain was much more manageable this time around. I also have the knowledge I need to prevent injury going forward from here. Along with the Collagen Synthensis, I use Mag3D and MagR&R. I have since added the Pre-Clinic and Adaptogen Greens Nootropic to my regime. Everything I have tried has worked great for recovery and rebuilding my body. I've tried other products for some reason they just haven't worked as well for me. The book is a great resource for anyone who works out and especially for those who don't. It was a great incentive to keep me motivated.”

“My daughter (15) is taking the joint clinic and preworkout for softball. So far, both seem to be helping her quite a bit. The information provided on the site and in their book is incredible. I have a degree in SportsMed and have found SaltWrap to be spectacular. Thank you.”
