Introducing Easeamine(R): An Advanced Anti-Aging Treatment Clinically Shown to Reduce Wrinkles that Occur with Aging

Patented formula scientifically proven to increase production of collagen and elastin

WORCESTER, Mass., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ — Easeamine® is the first over-the-counter, anti-aging cream that increases the production of collagen and elastin through its patented formula which delivers Adenosine to the lower layers of the skin. Adenosine, a natural compound found throughout the body, increases dermal fibroblast protein production, such as collagen and elastin, thus easing fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging. When delivered into the lower layers of the skin, Easeamine helps achieve healthier skin from the inside out.

Adenosine’s powerful effects on aging skin were discovered by two University of Massachusetts Medical research scientists, Dr. James G. Dobson, Ph.D., Chairman of the Department of Physiology, and Dr. Michael F. Ethier, Ph.D., who patented Adenosine Skin Technology. Easeamine, with its Adenosine Skin Technology, promotes healthiness of skin, decreasing the amount of wrinkling, roughness, dryness, laxity or sallowness in skin.

“Scientists and dermatologists have long sought topical treatments that stimulate collagen production in the skin,” said Dr. Dobson.  “But until the use of Adenosine in Easeamine, the products available were limited to invasive treatments or chemical solutions.”

Dr. Dobson, a lay member of the Teresian Carmelite in Worcester, MA, encouraged the small community of monks to obtain the Exclusive License for his patented technology from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Marketing this product came as a welcome vehicle for revenue, as their traditional funding sources have dwindled in recent years. Easeamine is sold exclusively online with nearly all profits targeted to the monks’ charitable endeavors, and in particular, programs focused on helping the poor and disadvantaged through education.

Brother Dennis Wyrzykowski, Prior of the Teresian Carmelites and founder of Carmel Laboratories LLC, developed business strategies that would lead his community from a donation based financial model to a self-sustaining entity. “Easeamine is a healthy skin care product that helps people look good and feel good about helping others,” says Brother Dennis.

For best results, Easeamine should be used twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. A tube of Easeamine sells for $65.00 and lasts approximately three to five weeks. Easeamine is manufactured in the U.S., and can be purchased online at www.Easeamine.com.

Roman Catholic Church

January 25th, 2010

Politics and Religion are taboo topics of conversation in most social settings. But deep within the fabric of my heart, spirit and soul, I desire to share with you—that I am Catholic. The dichotomy of internal dialogue begins to tear at my heart, brewing intense self-scrutiny. (Don’t forget, I am a consecrated Catholic with a 27-year commitment…and counting.) I can neither defend nor justify the evil actions of members of the ecclesial body of the Catholic Church, or explain the mystery of its better half—sanctity. Personally, I have experienced the heinous and bigoted transgressions of members of my Church, along with the blessings, love and compassion from its very life force.

The Catholic Church is composed of two elements: the human and the divine. The Divine nature of the Catholic Church is the source of all goodness, compassion, knowledge, wisdom and understanding, etc. However, when the human side attempts to interpret the Divine—“perfect love” becomes prey to the personality and potential whim of the individual(s). Regardless, the source of this perfection remains unchanged. Yes, the Church is governed by laws, particularly the law to ‘love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength; and your neighbor as yourself’. The ideal, in the hands of mortals is an aspiration, not an accomplishment. However, for those of us laboring in the trenches holding onto God’s inspiration with every breath, we do the best we can, accompanied by our flawed nature that is “weaker than the spirit”. I am in love with the very existence that heals me as it wounds me.

All is Trite Compared to Love

So…I was concerned about what people think. Prayer, time and too much drama cured me of the stink eye of others. With years of “philosophizing and theorizing” came hopes and dreams I shared with few. It did not take long before I awoke to the critique of pragmatists. To the contrary, my mother and father habitually adjusted to the array of future occupations, which flooded my imagination as a child and adolescent. “You can accomplish anything of which you can dream”, my parents would offer. Though my mind did not settle on one distinct profession, my soul found God and settled for nothing less.

The short version: Hope was my mainstay and time afforded me the opportunity to recognize a few essential facts of life. First, people come into our lives for a reason, season or a lifetime and they are all gifts. Second, miracles happen more frequently than the imagination can grasp and God is more powerful than any situation, circumstance or life event that may appear to overwhelm us. Third, when we become blind, deaf, mute or paralyzed due to pain, turmoil or tragedy—peace and healing are inevitable once we allow ourselves to take the first step forward. Forth, life is given perspective with death. When death appears at our doorstep the only experience we can take with us is love; everything else is trite.

The Beginning

December 7th, 2009

BrDThis is my first blog and I liken the initial angst to giving birth to a baby (according to my mother’s stories). My baby girl has not entered the birth canal and I am already concerned about her first day of school, first date (I dust for finger prints!), college, and the fiancé who may not be good enough.

Daunting and exhilarating seem to capture a part of the equation.  The story spans years of dreams, aspirations and obstacles—culminating to the tangible, extraordinary and more obstacles.  In hindsight, the obstacles end up being stepping-stones to spiritual, emotional and physical maturity (getting older has its perks).

What does a consecrated Brother living a monastic Carmelite tradition (monk) have in common with a wrinkle cream: Easeamine?  The answer: the marriage of spirituality and a deep-seated desire to serve the needs of the poor and marginalized, particularly through education.

Due to one of life’s gifts disguised as an obstacle, I can imagine the critics jabbing at the inconvenient dichotomy: monk—wrinkle cream, who is he kidding!  However, in the back of my mind is the old adage: truth is stranger than fiction.  Anyone attempting to live an honest, sincere and personally generous way of life, will recognize the viability of such a phrase.

In order to jumpstart the past into the present, I will use an outline of key events that brought me to the keyboard, and elaborate as I my fingers continue to do the talking.
