Help for skin problems

[Guest guest]

You ladies are so knowledgeable, I was wondering if you could recommend a

cream or some treatment to improve the quality of thin, easily bruised and

torn skin. The surgeon suggested Vitamin A / Beta Carotene supplement,

but that hasn't helped, and I've tried so many topical creams . All the

docs just shrug their shoulders....

I've tried emu oil/cream from two different online 'emu ranches' but maybe I

didn't use it long enough. I've been alternating pure aloe, vitamin

E, etc. I haven't tried vitamin K. Then I heard that coconut oil is

good, also.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I should say, I use pure emu oil in a blue bottle. I get it at a health

store. The creams didn't work for me. I said it wrong before, sorry

EMU OIL INSTITUTE - What is Emu Oil?

Emu Oil, a food by-product, is obtained from the fat of the Emu. When the

emu is processed for its healthy red meat, the fat is then refined into oil.

It is an all natural substance. When processed, the fat is taken through a

series of steps to refine, sterilize and deodorize it. Not all emu oil on

the market is " refined " , so we must warn consumers to beware. Some forms of

emu oil are simply " rendered " ; this means the oil has only been filtered,

and may contain contaminants. Always ask for " refined " oil. Please be

aware, there are different refining processes, as well. One process uses

caustic chemicals such as lye, another is an all natural process, using

natural clays. In the refining process, it is important that the oil be

brought up to a high enough temperature to eliminate all bacteria. A safe

oil is one which has been heated high enough to kill all bacteria and does

not diminish the integrity of the oil.

Emu Oil can be used for the " whole person " . Its basis and benefits are

derived from Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). EFA's are involved with

producing life energy in our bodies from food substances, and moving that

energy throughout our systems. They govern growth, vitality, and mental

state. They hook up oxygen, electron transport, and energy in the process

of oxidation. Oxidation, the central and most important moment-to-moment

living process in our body, is the burning of food to produce the energy

required for life processes.

Emu Oil contains both Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids:

Omega-3 fatty acids are good for the heart. The omega-3 oils increase the

concentrations of good cholesterol (high density lipoproteins, HDL) while

decreasing the concentrations of bad cholesterol (triglycerides). In

addition, eating omega-3-rich food will result in a moderate decrease in

total cholesterol level.

Omega-6, or Linoleic acid, is a colorless to straw-colored, liquid,

polyunsaturated fatty acid. Linoleic and another fatty acid,

gamma-linolenic, or gamolenic, produce prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are

substances that are found in every cell, are needed for the body's overall

health maintenance, and must be replenished constantly. Linoleic acid is an

essential fatty acid, which means that the body cannot produce it, so it

must be obtained in the diet.

Linoleic acid is an important fatty acid, especially for the growth and

development of infants. Fatty acids help to maintain the health of cell

membranes, improve nutrient use, and establish and control cellular

metabolism. They also provide the raw materials that help in the control of

blood pressure, blood clotting, inflammation, body temperature, and other

body functions. Fatty acids are consumed in the greatest quantities in fat.

Although many people are encouraged to consume less fat in their diets, fat

is still an important component of a healthy body. Fat stores the body's

extra calories, helps insulate the body, and protects body tissues. Fats are

also an important energy source during exercise, when the body depends on

its calories after using up available carbohydrates. Fat helps in the

absorption, and transport through the bloodstream, of the fat-soluble

vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Ingesting Emu Oil provides these EFA's which are also important to oxygen

transfer, hemoglobin production, and control of nutrients through cell

membranes. They markedly shorten recovery time from fatigue. Emu Oil can

play a part in almost every function of our body.
