Guest guest Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi Arden, I looked into the ray gel. It's $33.00 wholesale for a .35oz tube, so it taint cheap. You can go to either www.raygel.com to look up this one product, or to www.integrativeinc.com for a look at all their products. The company is out of Lake O and now in Minnesota or Wisconsin, I can't remember...there is no minimum purchase but there is an 8.50 shpg charge under $200.00 (1-877-634-3699). Anyway, thanks for your help....here's the info in case other people are interested: RayGel¢â is a patented gel that maintains healthy skin appearance during radiation therapy. Clinically studied RayGel¢â combines GSH, L-cysteine and AnthoRedoxin¢â. Demonstrated Efficacy and Safety: ?

Wash hands with soap and water. ? Use fingertips to apply the equivalent of 1/4 teaspoon to a 10 " x 10 " area. Thoroughly rub purple-colored gel into the skin for 2-3 minutes until no longer visible on skin's surface. ? In general, you should be applying the product from just below the breast, all the way up to the collar bone and from the edge of the sternum in to the armpit. ? Be sure to apply to all areas exposed to radiation, including the nipple. ? Be careful to spread RayGel¢â evenly and uniformly to all areas that will be exposed to radiation. If in doubt, cover a little more area than you think necessary. ? Apply 60-90 minutes before your treatment. ? Do not over-apply this product. Any gel remaining on the skin after 3 minutes of rubbing is an indication of over application. ? Repeat the application procedure 4-8 hours after the radiation treatment. ? On days without radiation treatment, apply gel twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening. ? Keep gel at room temperature. Ordering Information: ?
