New Treatment for Chronic Non-healing Wounds Unveiled
Transdermal delivery eliminates the danger of liver or kidney damage
(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 28, 2008 ) San Angelo, TX--There are a number of
different types of non-healing wounds, including those from diabetic
complications (neuropathic ulcers), trauma, burns, bed sores, pressure sores
and amputations. Wounds of this type often have exposed muscle, bone and
tendons resulting in extreme pain for the patient. The usual treatment of
these non-healing wounds is through IV administration of antibiotics, which
may cause damage to the liver or kidneys. According to Robert Winston, M.
D., using a transdermal delivery system allows antibiotic dosage 40 to 60
times greater than achieved by IV administration, without the danger of
liver or kidney damage. Winston uses emu oil in his product, Wound Tech.
"When developing Wound Tech, I chose to use emu oil to assist with the
transdermal delivery because it is faster than anything else on the market,"
stated Dr. Winston. "It also reduces the inflammation, which helps speed
healing." He went on to say that Wound Tech acts as a moisturizer and
provides nutrition, vitamins, trace elements, anti-oxidants to the wound,
along with antibiotics, which are added to the product by the physician at
the time of treatment.
Winston discussed the new product during the 2008 Emu Oil Seminar for
Medical Professionals held at the Holiday Inn East, Harrisburg, PA. As part
of their mandate to educate the public about the uses of emu oil, the
American Emu Association (AEA) sponsored the event on July 19, 2008. The
seminar was held in conjunction with the annual American Emu Association
National Convention. "We were delighted to be able to host this event which
allowed the first hand sharing of emu oil experiences among health care
providers," stated AEA Board Member, I. Michael Eppley. This is the third
year that an Emu Oil Seminar for Medical Professionals has been held during
the annual convention.
As a Board Certified Internal Medicine Practitioner, the Tennessee physician
has practiced medicine for over 25 years. Dr. Winston enjoys staff
privileges at Regional Hospital of Jackson, Jackson-Madison County General
Hospital and Meharry Medical College Dept. of Continuing Education.
Plans are currently underway to hold a fourth Emu Oil Seminar for Medical
Professionals during the 2009 American Emu Association National Convention.
The convention will be held in Orlando, FL.
The American Emu Association is a non-profit organization that represents
the emu industry, an alternative agricultural industry, dominated by the
small farmer, who is devoted to humane and environmentally positive
practices that will produce beneficial products for society.
