BioHeal for Allergies and Insect Bites
BioHeal's skin repair and anti-inflammatory properties aid skin recovery after skin allergies and insect bites.
Approximately 25% of persons are allergic to nickel and many more are sensitive to plants such as poison ivy and poison oak. that had been exposed to skin-damaging irritants
In one study at UCSF, it was found that BioHeal both accelerated the recovery of skin after injury and had an anti-inflammatory action on the skin of nickel-allergic persons who were exposed to nickel salts. Publication by Zhai, Chang, Singh, and Maibach, "In vivo nickel contact dermatitis: human model for topical therapeutics", Contact Dermatitis Vol. 40, pp. 205-208, 1999. Both skin water loss and skin erythema (redness) were markedly reduced.
Many of our customers have reported rapid healing of insect bites.
The results suggest that BioHeal could be used in the place of the usual
skin-damaging treatments with cortisone and other corticosteroids.

BioHeal's copper-peptide reduces the need for the use of corticosteroids for skin dermatitis. Corticosteroids (such as cortisone) produce damaged and thinned skin (often 50% thinner) by inhibiting the natural skin repair processes. Use of corticosteroids produces a vicious cycle requiring more corticosteroid use due to more irritations from the weakened skin. The use can promote diabetic conditions, thymus involution, immune suppression, the spread of cancers, bone damage, and cataracts. It is estimated that 5,000 hip replacements yearly in Canada are due to overuse of corticosteroids.
During inflammation, the skin is damaged by immune cells that release toxic oxygen radicals into the damaged area. The purpose of these oxygen radicals is to kill invading bacteria after wounding but often the oxygen radicals are released in the absence of any bacteria. Cortisone and corticosteroids act by killing the immune cells to stop oxygen radical release but this also kills the immune cells that release the skin repair growth factors and hence stops skin repair which ultimately leads to a thinned and damaged skin.
Copper-peptides, on the other hand, directly detoxify the oxygen radicals.
They also transfer copper to superoxide dismutase (SOD), the skin's primary
anti-oxidant protein, which activates the skin's SOD which further increases
the removal of oxygen radicals. Also, the copper-complexes have been shown
to strongly stimulate the skin's repair systems and improve healing and
skin renewal. The above mentioned nickel allergy study demonstrated both
the anti-inflammatory and skin repair properties of copper-peptides. (Zhai,
Chang, Singh, and Maibach, "In vivo nickel contact dermatitis: human model
for topical therapeutics", Contact Dermatitis Vol. 40, pp. 205-208, 1999.)

I live in the Deep South and spend most of my time in my garden. We have lots of spiders down here, and this summer I was bit by what I think was a poisonous spider. I had two bites on my calf --- they were extremely painful, took weeks to heal and left nasty, ugly purple scars. I was unable to completely cover the scars up with makeup and they looked awful.
About a month ago I applied TriReduction to the scars. In a couple of days they turned pink! In a week I noticed they'd shrunk considerably. Last week I applied Super Cop Cream. The scars have become much smaller and lighter in color. I think they might actually go away!

I just thought I'd share my success with Skin Biology products here so that others may benefit from my experience!
About 2 years ago I got bitten by a whitetail spider on my leg. This caused a massive indentation at the spider bite area and also a rash spread all around the bite area. Once the bite area healed I thought I was home free; was I wrong.
There was a persistent rash that wasn't going away; six months later the rash was spreading up my leg scarring everything in its path...I was so afraid that I was going to lose my leg! I tried everything, cortizone, vaseline, antibiotics (I got intravenously given antibiotics at one stage the bite/rash was so bad) and nothing worked.
At about 12 months I was about to give up when I came across "Bioheal".
I thought let's give this a try ...I applied it once a day and also with aquaphor.
Within 1 week my rash stopped spreading after having spread non-stop for one year. Then 12 months later (today) after using Bioheal and Copper x2 [Super Cop 2X-Extra Strength] (after the rash had gone) my bite mark looks like a little blemish and all my rash scars are gone! I am so thankful I found this product when I did...It's truly changed my life.
On another note...I had chapped lips for the last 3 yrs...I went to doctor after doctor telling me to drink more fluids or keep them moisturised...but nothing worked...I knew there was something seriously wrong. So I used Copper x2 [Super Cop 2X-Extra Strength] on them ... Six months later I don't use it anymore and my lips are completely healed and even look better than before the chapping started.
Anyhoo I better stop waffling but I just wanted to share my story and if it helps one person out there then it was worth it!...
I did tell the doctors and they saw the noticeable improvement but they are very "skeptical" ...I just wish some doctors tried it on themselves...It cured almost any persistent skin conditions I've had.

I was out in my yard hosing down the grass and had a spider bite me under the eyelid. The next day the bite was swollen, painful, and full of pus. I put some BioHeal on the bite area and the pain was gone in 30 minutes. By the next day, the skin was healed.

My son has serious problems with poison ivy reactions. This usually leads to 2 or 3 weeks of prednisone treatment. During his last reaction, I tried BioHeal on an outbreak on his arm. The blisters dried up in a couple of days and the skin healed wonderfully!

The nickel allergy sores from my son's belt healed right up - just like you predicted. Much better than cortisone creams.

I am writing to tell you that your product BioHeal® took away my poison ivy.
I have a history of problems with poison ivy since 1975. It is always treated in the same way, first soaps, then cortisone creams in increasing strength. This does not work. It keeps spreading and getting worse. I develop an allergenic reaction to it and end up on prednisone. The prednisone is very hard to take. Last summer I needed to be on the medication for three weeks and suffered through some difficult side effects.
I can't stay away from gardening. I got it about two weeks ago on my hands. It was suggested that I try some Protect and Restore®. I did and it took away the itch immediately and the blisters that were developing never did. Thank you! I only hope that others that suffer from poison ivy can know about Protect and Restore® and what it can do for them.
Sincerely,
R.

The cream work great on mosquito bites. I am very allergic to the bites and they itch for weeks after I have been bitten. They drive me nearly crazy. The BioHeal healed the bites overnight and there was no more itching.

Dear sirs:
Thank you for letting me try your Skin Biology Protect & Restore cream on my ears.
Apparently, I am allergic to the nickel content that is present in most jewelry. My ears often get raw and scabby after I've been wearing earrings for just a little while.
I've used a 1% cortisone cream for healing for years. I have been told that it's not good to use for long periods of time but there hasn't been an alternative.
Your Skin Biology cream healed my ears in several days. Now I just dab a little on each lobe before inserting the earrings. I have not had infected ears since I began using the cream.
Thanks again,
J.E.

I was on a camping trip and something bit me at night and left several very painful white welts on my skin. They bothered me for two days, then I remembered the BioHeal. The pain went away almost immediately and they we healed by the next day.
