In 1935 Drs. C.E. and C. Collins reported in the American Journal of Roentgenology that applying the gel from a fresh aloe leaf to skin damaged by X-ray treatments somehow regenerated the tissues. However, because of conflicting results and no one had been able to successfully incorporate the aloe gel into a lotion or ointment, it never garnered wide-spread use or acceptance in the medical community.
This remained true until 1953, when our mentor, whom we would meet 34 years later, formulated the first aloe burn ointment containing 55% of this rare & powerful Aloe gel. The Burn Ointment was later tested as a treatment for third degree thermal burns in an FDA licensed laboratory. The results were submitted to the FDA and took no exception to it as a burn treatment. Emerald Aloe is identified in clinical studies published in several medical journals including the "Industrial Medicine and Surgery, "Annals of Surgery", and the "American Cancer Society, Inc.".
The Aloe Ointment was subsequently used to successfully treat radiation burns resulting from exposure to the University of Chicago, Argonne Nuclear Laboratory’s linear accelerator and was granted a US Government General Services Administration contract for use in the NASA space program.
General Care Tips
✧ Use warm rather than hot water while showering.
✧ Try not to let shower water fall directly on your breast or radiated skin.
✧ Avoid harsh soaps and soaps with fragrance.
✧ To help prevent redness and skin irritation, avoid having skin-on-skin contact, under armpit and outer portion of breast, along the bottom crease of your breast, and cleavage area. Some doctors suggest using cotton 'tube socks' in these areas.
