As a young pharmacist in Korea, Jae Sun Shin saw thousands of burn victims from the Korean
War. Frustrated by a lack of adequate burn care products available, he decided to
research this further. A few years later, he began to combine ingredients trying to form a
compound to heal the burn, rather than just treat the burned skin. After many years, he
finally succeeded. In the early 1970s, he began dispensing his product through his drug
store in Seoul, Korea. This was possible because of the Korean regulations for prescribing
prescriptions. Korea allows a pharmacist to prescribe, prepare, and sell a medicine for a
patient. Originally he gave this medicine out as a burn care product. As people began
using it, he discovered that his product also healed; skin irritations, boils, and especially
ulcerated skin. The U.S. patent was awarded in 1992 and Mr. Shin, the pharmacist, still
prepares this medicine in his drug store for his patients as he has been doing for almost
three decades. What we are trying to accomplish now is to make this wonderful new drug
available to all patients around the world. Who, with modern medicine now, have lost
hope.
The pharmacist, Mr. Shin, has been preparing, selling and witnessing the effectiveness of
this medicine with his own hands for the last 27 years. As any medical personnel will tell
you that currently there is no cure for these problems, only methods of treating and trying
to control. One problem that is especially bad is ulcerated skin. Doctors today only have
medicine to treat the problem. Rather than heal it, they just try to control and monitor the
spreading of the problem. As an example, most diabetics who experience skin ulcers. If
the ulcer get to an advanced stage, then the diabetic typically will end up losing a limb or
finger, etc. Because modern medicine today doesnt heal the problem, they just try and
control the spread of it. With this medication, a diabetic would retain their limb and have
no scars in majority of cases. This medication is a topical cure; it doesnt require anything
internal. With this medicine, the cost of hospital stays, even doctor visits, would drop
drastically. No more long hospital stays with therapy.
Why is this remarkable medicine not on the front page of all the newspapers? Because of
the typical red tape so thoughtfully provided by the United States government. Winning
FDA approval for a new drug is harder than winning the lottery. We have already been
awarded an U.S. patent for this drug in 1992. We have provided many reports and clinical
results that show the clinical healing power of this medicine. Mr. Shin, the pharmacist,
does not have a tremendous amount of funds or research facilities to perform the tests to
get enough scientific data for the FDA or pharmaceutical companies. Yet the guidelines
are very strict. This drug must be extensively tested by a well-known research facility in
the United States. So, we approached a few U.S. pharmaceutical companies. We met
directly with their research teams, and they have studied our compound. Their medical
personnel evaluated our clinical tests. Both medical and research teams agreed that
indeed, this looks like a very functional product. Though out hopes were raised, they
were quickly dashed. Even thought they liked the product, they would not fund the
research themselves. They suggested we fund the research independently, and have them
conduct it. So this brings us to now.
We are appealing to the conscious of the people. So many people could be helped.
Health care cost would be lowered; medical technology will take a huge leap forward. An
investment in this product would be in an investment in the future and a hope for helpless
patients. Investors in this could make a difference in the centuries to come, as well as
today. How often are people given the opportunity to make a change like this? Let me
give you an example of this amazing treatment.
Definition
A pressure ulcer is an injury usually caused by unrelieved pressure that damages the skin and underlying tissue. Pressure ulcers are also called bedsores and range in severity from mild (minor skin reddening) to severe (deep craters down to muscle and bone).
Unrelieved pressure on the skin squeezes tiny blood vessels, which supply the skin with nutrients and oxygen. When skin is starved of nutrients and oxygen for too long, the tissue dies and a pressure ulcer forms. Skin reddening that disappears after pressure is removed is normal and not a pressure ulcer. Other factors cause pressure ulcers, even slight rubbing or friction on the skin may cause minor pressure ulcers.
There are four different stages of pressure ulcers, and the treatment for them various according to severity. Most of today's treatments cause extreme pain to the patient, because the affected area cannot have a local atheistic applied due to infection.
Diabetic Ulcers, Mild Decubitus Ulcers,and Raricose Ulcerated Skin Current Treatments
Nonblanchable erythema of intact skin. The heralding lesion of skin ulceration. In individuals with darker skin, discoloration of the skin, warmth, edema, induration, or hardness may also be indicators.
Normal treatment:
These ulcers typically do not require hospital stays, or doctor's offices. A normal patient can handle the treatments of these in the home. The patient or the doctor will lance the ulcer, which in most cases causes extreme pain. Then the ulcer has to be cleaned with another antiseptic wipe. Again, causing pain to the patient. The ulcer is then covered with a sterile cotton wrap. This entire process is usually repeated once after the initial cleaning.
This treatment requires no doctor or hospital visit. It is easily done in the home environment. Fully saturate a swath of absorbent cotton in the medication. Apply the medication soaked document to the affected area. Cover the soaked cotton with a clean, dry, cotton bandage. Make sure that the dry dressing completely covers the wet bandage. Leave this in place for 48 hours. Remove the dressing and the bandage. Dab the skin with a cotton ball if the area is watery, but do not clean with a disinfectant.
Repeat the steps until lesion is healed. Process will generally take 2 weeks on Stage I ulcers.
Decubitus Ulcers, Mild Posttraumatic Ulcerated Skin Current Treatments
Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both.
Usual treatment:
These ulcers often have to be treated by a physician. Requiring a visit to a doctor's office our outpatient emergency in a hospital. A doctor will lance the ulcer and removing the dead skin. Sometimes a suture is required depending on the location of the ulcer, and the amount of skin removed. A painful process to say the least. Then the area is scrubbed with a disinfectant. It is then covered with a dressing and kept dry. This process is typically repeated three to four times, depending on the depth and amount of skin loss. Whether changed and reapplied by a doctor is the patients' choice. Also, another visit may be required if sutures were called for. And depending on the size of cut and suture, a scar may be left.
Again, this treatment can be easily applied at home. It requires no special medical knowledge. No cuts or sutures are required with this medication. Fully saturate a swath of absorbent cotton in the medication. Applying the medication soaked cotton to the affected area. This often takes pushing some of the cotton into the ulcer, whatever amount is necessary for the depth of the wound. Cover the soaked cotton with a clean, dry, cotton bandage. Make sure that the dry dressing completely covers the wet bandage. Leave this in place for 48 hours. Remove the dressing and the bandage. Dab the skin with a cotton ball if the area is watery, but do not clean with a disinfectant. Repeat the steps until lesion is healed.
Process will generally take 3-4 weeks on Stage II ulcers. There is typically no scarring left with this stage ulcer.
Decubitus Ulcers, and Posttraumatic Ulcerated Skin Current Treatments
Full thickness skin loss involving damage to necrosis of subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying fascia. The ulcer presents clinically as a deep crater with or without undermining of adjacent tissue.
Usual treatment:
These types of ulcers often require short hospital stays, creating large bills. Most of the time a physician will operate on the ulcer. Making deep cuts and sutures, often times leaving a scar on the skin. First they must clean the surrounding area of the ulcer, requiring shaving if needed. Then the physician will cut out the affected area, more often than not, closing the cut with stitches. The ulcer then must be thoroughly cleaned, and the crater must be scrubbed. Then it is washed with a disinfectant. Then typically it is scrubbed again to insure that there is no dead skin within the crater itself. Then a bandage is applied, and necessary for up to three weeks. The cleaning process for such a deep crater is normally only repeated once. Most of the time this entire process will take about a month. Usually it leaves a scar, and requires three to four trips to a physician's office.
As before, this treatment requires no hospital stay. It requires no special medical knowledge. No cuts or sutures are required with this medication. Fully saturate a swath of absorbent cotton in the medication. Applying the medication soaked cotton to the affected area. This often takes pushing some of the cotton into the ulcer, whatever amount is necessary for the depth of the wound. Most of the Stage III ulcers are large, often requiring a larger amount of bandage to be applied. Often the medicine will have to be applied to the bandage lengthwise to permit covering more area. Make sure that the entire ulcer is covered before applying dressing. Cover the soaked cotton with a clean, dry, cotton bandage. Leave this in place for 48 hours. Remove the dressing and the bandage. Dab the skin with a cotton ball if the area is watery, but do not clean with a disinfectant. It should be noted that there might be some yellow pus with an unpleasant odor on or around the affected area. Also, the affected area may appear larger than the original one. This is normal with this stage of advanced ulcer. Repeat the steps until lesion is healed.
Process will generally take four weeks or longer on Stage III ulcers. Commonly, there is no visible scarring.
Severe Decubitus Ulcers, and Severe Marrow Ulcerated Skin Current Treatments
Full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures. Undermining sinus tracts also may be associated with stage IV ulcer, depending on location.
Usual treatment:
Lengthy in patient hospital stays. These do require surgery to remove dead skin as well as muscle tissue. There are no attempts made to heal the wound. Only stop it from spreading. The doctor will cut out the affected area, including but not limited to: muscle, bone, tendons, nerves, etc. Then it will be thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed everyday. To insure that it stays clean, and the physician removed all affected tissue. This process -because it is inpatient - usually takes about one and half weeks. Then it requires multiple visits for wound rechecks and dressing changes. These types of ulcers always leave scars.
Although this treatment requires no hospital stay. It requires extra attention. The patient needs to be sure that they have completely soaked and covered the affected area. Pay special attention to the crater or hole. Do not be afraid to use a lot of medication. More is better than little in this case. The severity of the wound requires a larger amount of medication than before. Again, no cuts or sutures are required. Fully saturate a swath of absorbent cotton in the medication. Apply the medication soaked cotton to the affected area. This often takes pushing some of the cotton into the ulcer, whatever amount is necessary for the depth of the wound. Most of the Stage IV ulcers are large, often requiring a larger amount of bandage to be applied. Often the medicine will have to be applied to the bandage lengthwise to permit covering more area. Make sure that the entire ulcer is covered before applying dressing. Also make sure that some of the medication is covering the exterior of the wound as well. Cover the soaked cotton with a clean, dry, cotton bandage. Leave this in place for 48 hours. Remove the dressing and the bandage. Dab the skin with a cotton ball if the area is watery, but do not clean with a disinfectant. It should be noted that there might be some yellow pus with an unpleasant odor on or around the affected area. Also, the affected area may appear larger than the original one. This is normal with this stage of advanced ulcer. Repeat the steps until the lesion is completely healed. There are varying lengths of treatment for this stage of ulcer.
They vary according to size and depth. On a typical Stage IV ulcer, it can take a couple of months or longer to heal completely.
