Testimonials Redness and Blemish Control I had toenail fungus for over a year and had tried several other products to try to get it to go away.  None of those products took care of the problem.  Then it was suggested, that I try PE Redness and Blemish Control.  After a few days of using the product, I was seeing results.  I had applied it twice per day and it took about two months to get rid of it completely.  Now, I apply it about once per week, as a preventative. BMA Recovery Gel Caps I have been taking Recovery Gel Caps since January of 1998.  I had my cholesterol level checked in April and the level was 309.  Last month, (December) I was checked and my cholesterol was down to 256.  I take 3 Recovery Gel Caps a day and eat EMU meat instead of beef.  Thanks to Recovery I now can eat things I was not able to.  My daily routine does not start until I take my 1st gel cap in the morning.   God Bless!!  S. Rogers My son who is 39 years old was diagnosed with prostate cancer this past year.  One of the main problems he has been experiencing was blood in the urine which also caused severe pain.  The pain has kept him from working outside.  We have tried numerous medications and treatments but the problem continued.  A friend of mine mentioned the Recovery Gel Capsules might be something he could try.  After this point, we had nothing to lose so I purchased a bottle on January 30th, 2004. We are happy to say that after about two weeks the Recovery Gel Caps have completely stopped the blood in the urine.  Also, he has been able to go outside and work which he hasn't been able to do for a very long time.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Linda, Oklahoma Emu Oil - Radiation Burns Thanks for the info, Mickie.  I will give your name and address to all of my doctors along with your brochures.  I certainly don't mind you sharing my testimonial with others.  I wouldn't even mind you using my name if that adds any credibility. When I started using the emu oil in conjunction with my treatments, all I knew was the effect it had on minor burns I had had over the last 4 years of using it.  I figured if it worked that well for burns, it ought to work for radiation.  Radiation affects not only the inner part of your body but also the skin it goes through.  The outer skin reddens just like you have been in the sun too long.  Quite often, blisters pop up after you have had several treatments.  There is a "browning" of the skin in the treatment area that can last for months after the treatment is over.  Sensitive areas, like the skin under the arm, the nipple, and under the breast, are especially susceptible to burning, peeling, cracking and blisters. In my case, the emu oil was not only immediately soothing to the skin, it lessened the severity of the burn. Treatments were given to me every day for 5 consecutive days over a six-week period.  I put emu oil on every morning and every night and sometimes several times during the day.  The doctor cautioned me about having oil on my skin when I took my treatment so at first I wiped the breast area off with a soft tissue if I had excess oil on the skin.  Eventually, however, I didn't even have to do that because the emu oil seemed to go into the skin so quickly.  I still had redness but it didn't burn.  I had a few very small blisters, about the size of a match head, but they went away quickly - within about two days.  The skin in the nipple area pealed off about 5 or 6 times but it never cracked because I kept the emu oil on it and gently exfoliated it every time I took my shower.  The emu oil soothed the burning sensation after treatment while it healed the skin, too. The skin was very tender around the breast and I was unable to wear a bra for about two weeks out of the six week treatment regimen, but I was wearing one two days after finishing all of the treatments.  Another benefit of using the emu oil was that my incisions healed extremely well and very quickly.   I was warned by both of my oncology doctors that the radiation would cause my breast tissue to be hard.  Sometimes this hardness goes away and sometimes not.  The day I finished my treatments my surgeon examined me and found no hardness of the breast or under the arm except where I had my incisions, which is what you would expect after surgery. I am going to continue using emu oil on the breast area until I feel all of the side effects of the radiation have gone which should be about 3 to 6 months.  I have had three doctors examine me and all three seemed very surprised at how good my skin, the surgery areas, and my breast looked. Radiation affects everyone differently depending on so many variables such as age, skin type and general condition of health.  It is hard to say what my condition would have been without the use of the emu oil, but I firmly believe the emu oil had a direct effect on the skin and also the tissue of the breast.  Besides the pure emu oil, I used Skin Care Therapy cream and the Recovery capsules.  I started using these about 2/3rds of the way into my treatment when it was the absolute worst.  I wish I had used it from the very beginning because I believe it would have made a difference.   I have been looking for a research grant from NIH or the American Cancer Society to do some research on the use of emu oil during radiation treatments.  I haven't found anything yet, but I may just write up a proposal and send it in anyway.  I think there needs to be some research done on it to see if we can get valid proof.  At any rate, I know three doctors who will be recommending it to their patients!
