Comprehensive Research Confirms
Clinical Observations-Emu Oil Reduces
Inflammation!
To: High Cascade Premier Enterprises,
LTD
Mrs. Craig:
It is with great pleasure
that I relate to you and your company the therapeutic
benefits that I have seen and personally experienced as
a result of using your emu oil products over the years.
As a podiatrist I've treated a myriad of maladies
wherein your products have helped provide relief and
healing. Especially, the skin conditions of dryness,
fissuring and inflammation (preulcerativc in some cases)
have in many instances been notably counteracted by
topical application of your Pure Emu Oil. Everyone that
I've known to try it for inflammation has seemed to
benefit from its use. It's amazing how just a
small amount of emu oil applied several times daily can
help.
Of particular interest, given that your
Pure Emu Oil has clinically proven itself time and again
to relieve inflammation, is a recent study of the emu
oil effect. The research, conducted by Yoganathan,
et.al, Antagonism of Croton Oil Inflammation by
Topical Emu Oil in CD-Mice, applies solid scientific
methodology that evaluates, among other things,the
cytokine effect that is linked directly to
inflammation. As you may be aware, cytokines are
proteins produced by cells that trigger many biological
responses, such as inflammation, anti-inflammation and
tissue breakdown.
I found it gratifying that emu
oil has now been objectively linked to the reduction of
proinflammatory cytokine levels. This finding
conceptually supports my clinical observations.
Since lipid content plays such a major role in health of
the skin and subcutaneous fat, reducing the potential
for lipid breakdown (a proinflammatory effect of
cytokines) may be the reason behind the apparent success
of using emu oil, which seems to lessen the rate, extent
and/or occurrence of skin inflammation, breakdown and
ulceration. Emu oil seems especially important for
diabetics or anyone with the potential for skin
ulceration. Though I have only prescribed emu oil for
topical application, the mechanism of action and
potential benefit of emu oil is only beginning to be
understood and appreciated. With future research,
I suspect that even ingestion of emu oil will show
generalized medicinal benefits for treatment of such
conditions as rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune
diseases, including diabetes, where proinflammatory
cytokines seem to play a role.
Musculoskeletal
conditions, especially tendonitis, arthritis and
bursitis, have also clinically responded well to the
anti-inflammatory effects of emu oil, using both your
Pure Emu Oil and your product called What a Relief. I've
tried many different other products including
salicylic-compounded creams, pepper concoctions and
other emu oil compounds (that go from blue to gray and
cause a dermatitis with prolonged use). Although other
products have helped, to one degree or another, in my
experience none have been as consistent as yours in
providing relief with reduced pain and swelling.
Other positive factors found with your products are
prolonged shelf life and the lack of side effects that
other products often create.
On a personal note,
I use What a Relief topically for my chronic painful
back condition (herniations, stenosis and associated
muscle spasms) and for sinus headaches. Also, I use your
Pure Emu Oil orally to treat sore throat due to viruses
and allergy. If people were more aware of how these
products could improve their level of comfort there
would be a lot less uncomfortable people in this world.
I recommend your products at every
opportunity. Keep up the good
work.
Sincerely, Gilbert Hice,
