The Experience That Inspired Our Mission
One patient changed everything. After decades of unrelenting pain and three back surgeries, he had nearly lost all will to continue. When Dr. Vanderlinden introduced Active Again pain cream, the patient’s relief was almost immediate. His despair turned into gratitude, and his hope visibly returned. That day, the name Hope Science found its meaning — combining scientific precision with the healing power of human connection.
Big John’s Journey: One Block to Three Miles
My dad broke his heel in five places. He used the “real” and US patented glucosamine that I was importing as well as enormous amounts of fish oil thanks to our native friends giving us up to forty salmon at a time! Despite these remedies, for fifteen years he could only walk a block or two due to serious pain and stiffness in his heel and ankle. In my search to find a way to alleviate his pain, I came across promising research on cetylated oils, the active ingredient in our Active Again creams and capsules. After three days of rubbing Active Again pain cream on his heel and ankle, the stiffness and pain had begun to subside. After four weeks, he was now walking three miles a day! As a physician and his son, my dad's recovery was both remarkable and emotional. The science spoke for itself, and it became my mission to help health professionals and their patients get their lives back.
