HOW IT ALL BEGAN - Doug's Alpenol Story
I first meet my friend Wolfgang on a beach on an island in the Bahamas.
As you may know the sand fleas literally attack and their bites cause you to swell and itch terribly.
So it was I came to know "Alpenὅl.”
Wolfgang was from Bavaria and his product had a funny sounding (to me) name I couldn’t pronounce. It was, however, fantastic for bites, reducing the swelling and calming the itch.
We used to snorkel a lot resulting in a sore neck from looking face down in the water for a long time. Alpenὅl to the rescue.
The original Alpenὅl formula came from an old farmer in Bavaria who had been experimenting with pure essential oils for natural healing for many years.
Wolfgang with an extensive knowledge of chemistry, although now a chiropractor, experimented further with the “recipe” finally producing what you see here on our web site as "Muscle Relief."
For many years I resisted bringing Alpenὅl products to the US. What changed my mind? A woman, of course. A walk on a beach with my wife Peggy finally lead to our accepting the “recipe” as a gift to market Alpenὂl in the US.
That was 25 years ago. We are grateful to have offered the relief our products bring to so many with muscle and joint pain. We have had so many letters sharing how Alpenὂl products have changed lives.
Thanks for placing an order. We are confident that you too will become a lifelong Alpenὅl customer.
HOW WE EVOLVED - a new partnership
Peggy and I first met Jamie here in Buena Vista, Colorado.
Jamie Hagen is a brand development professional. We were both serving on the board of The Collegiate Peaks Forum Series.
I asked Jamie to help us in updating Alpenὅl packaging. She began the development process and fell in love with the product. She had suffered from migraines most of her life and Alpenὂl greatly increased the circulation through her neck and head and offered amazing “relief.” She asked me if I would like a business partner and from this inquiry a new collaboration came into fruition.
Together we created new packaging designs and added new Alpenὅl formulas of Foot Relief and Massage Oil to our Muscle Relief product assortment. We also expanded our sizes to 4 ounce, 2 ounce and a trial/purse size of .34 ounces.
Recently, Jamie and her husband Hal have had some health scares you can see their story. This made me take a renewed focus on my own heath. You see I promised Peggy that I would stay on the planet as long as she did so as to……be at weddings, family celebrations, visit great grand children and take trips to the exotic places on our bucket list.
So I began researching other whole health products that would assist in our overall health and well being. I discovered Mila the ancient superfood of the Aztecs rediscovered. I started eating Mila for my overall heart & vascular system health. It lowers inflammation, LDL, and blood pressure/raise HDL and reduces platelet aggregation and clotting. It does this all while a whole raw food (not a supplement) which avoids drug dependency to accomplish the above. I also was amazed at my cognitive function (clarity & memory) and energy and stamina that I experienced after just a month of consuming Mila.
Peggy, Jamie, Hal and I all have been enjoying Mila daily and are each amazed how our overall health has increased. Now we have added Mila to our Feel the Relief Store. We welcome calls and inquiries as to how our products can help you on your journey to natural health. We have created this website to share products and health antidotes to offer each of us “relief” and newfound health. Enjoy, Doug

I feel like the last two years have lead me to Mila. My wonderful husband, Hal has had chronic back problems. So about two years ago he had his first back surgery. This followed with an ileus, blood clots, phenomena and a bad heart attack. Then the back surgery did not work so this past December he had a two day back fusion surgery. During this same period I started having panic attacks and we thought a mild heart attack of my own (I had a cardiac catheterization this past September) but the causes where stress driven. I also had my gallbladder removed and from this developed severe digestive problems and daily pain. Needless to say Hal and I have realized how "life is short" and one really needs to take care of oneself if you want to be around awhile longer to "make it last." 
Mila is so darn easy to take and have it become a habit in your life. It is tasteless, it is taken in small portions, it travels well and is simple to put into any of one's morning food or beverage favorites. My preference is right on top of my Special K cereal. My girls like it in their instant breakfast shakes or smoothies. Hal likes it on a teaspoon!
