Guest guest Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 LeeAnn, check this out..................I simply typed in "medical professionals that specialize in polyethylene glycol" SOLVENT The solvent for the allergen neutralization compositions of the present invention preferably comprises water, and more preferably the solvent comprises a volatile lower alcohol. The water that is used can be distilled, deionized, or tap water. Water not only serves as the liquid carrier for the metal ions and other ingredients, it also facilitates the complexation reaction between the metal ion, the optional allergen denaturing compositions and the allergenic protein. Not to be bound by theory, it is believed that water solubilizes the allergenic protein allowing it to react with the metal ions, allergen denaturing compounds or both. Nonlimiting examples of compatible nonionic surfactants include block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Suitable block polyoxyethylene- polyoxypropylene polymeric surfactants, include those based on ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane and ethylenediamine as the initial reactive hydrogen compound. Polymeric compounds made from a sequential ethoxylation and propoxylation of initial compounds with a single reactive hydrogen atom, such as C12-18 aliphatic alcohols, are not generally compatible with the cyclodextrin. Certain of the block polymer surfactant compounds designated Pluronic and Tetronic0 by the BASF- Wyandotte Corp., Wyandotte, Michigan, are readily available. Examples of Pluronic (2 and Tetronic (3 surfactants are given below. http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?IA=US2000027018 & DISPLAY=DESC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
