Hi Fred

Emu oil, is an expensive way to make your skin soft.

That's about all it does.

Anytime, a product claims to be able to help, or

resolve a zillion things, it's too good to be true.

One sellers claim that it helps with all of these

things:

aging skin, Alopecia Areata, arthritis, athletes foot

beauty aid, bruising, burns, carpal tunnel syndrome

chapped lips, Crohn's disease, IBD, conditioning hair,

cosmetic, cuts & lacerations, diaper rash, dry skin

eczema, fibromyalgia, hair loss, ichthyosis, insect

bites, irritated skin, itching, joint pain, lowers

Cholesterol, massage moisturizer, muscle pain & spasms

pain relief, psoriasis, radiation burns, razor burn &

nicks, rosacea, scar prevention, sciatica, scrapes &

scratches, shingles, skin fungus, skin rashes, skin

hydration, sore muscles, stiffness, stretch marks

sunburn relief, surgery scars, swelling, tendinitis

wrinkles & fine lines.

Whew, that's a lot of different things! If it could do

this many different things, we could all be just fine.

Heck, we wouldn't even need this group. <g>

Moderator's note:

Fred, your Dad was a wise man. My Dad died from the complications related to

Alzheimer's disease, (1997) and my Mom from emphysema. (2004)It goes without

saying, that I miss them too.

I'm glad I could help you. You're right, sometimes the brand name is more

effective.

Hi Kaylene;

Thanks for the info! I kinda thought it was a " snake oil " when it

came out.

I go by the rule I learned from my dad 'If it sounds too good to be

true, it usually is " . Dad had a lot of good information to teach me,

but he was terrible at " teaching " or passing along life's

instructions to his son. I lost him in 2003 to a brain tumor.

Thanks though, I'll save my money and pass on the emu oil. I'll put

it in the category of the metal bracelets and magnets. )

I have found that the only topical treatment that helps is Mineral

Ice (now that I have used products with oleoresin capsicum to the

point that they are ineffective). The Rite Aid equivalent brand is

not equivalent at all.

My mom had the name brand and I bought the $3

cheaper Rite Aid brand. I did a comparison and the name brand one is

WAY WAY better. While the spray of a stronger menthol name brand

product doesn't work for more than 2 minutes 9literally 2 minutes).
