Wound healing is the process of repair that follows injury to the skin and other soft tissues. The capacity of a wound to heal depends in part on its depth, as well as on the overall health and nutritional status of the individual. Nutritional and herbal supplements may improve the quality of wound healing by influencing these reparative processes or by limiting the damaging effects of inflammation. Healing Strips (TM) promote the use of beneficial ointments and creams by providing a means to apply them to allow for longer absorption time. Healing Strips are not treated with any antibiotic or scar reducing treatment.

The key to successful wound healing is to use a treatment that is beneficial to the process and does a minimum of damage when used.
 
 
 
 
 
         
         
  Phases of Wound Healing

There are three phases to healing: the inflammatory phase, the proliferation phase, and the remodeling or maturation phase. The inflammatory phase begins immediately and lasts 2 to 6 days, during which time bleeding stops, white blood cells fight bacterial infection, and collagen formation begins. (Collagen is what scars are made of and what holds wounds together). The wound is usually warm, red, swollen, and painful.

After a few days, the proliferation phase takes place, and continues for about 3 to 4 weeks. Collagen continues to be produced, pulling the edges of the wound together, and new capillaries (tiny blood vessels) are formed to aid in healing. This can cause visible thickening of the skin edges and new red, bumps called granulation tissue in the shrinking wound.

Finally, the maturation phase begins, and continues for a period from several weeks to several years. This slow process entails the formation of even more collagen to strengthen the wounds, and then scar remodeling to break down excess collagen in the scar; this can change a thick, red, raised scar to a thin, flat, white scar over a period of months to years.		  
   
   
   
   
     
For most patients, wounds heal naturally as the body works to heal itself. Yet for those whose healing process is delayed or complicated by other conditions, the wound site becomes a medical problem that requires specialized treatment and care. Healing Strips (TM) promote the use of beneficial ointments and creams by providing a means to apply them to allow for longer absorption time. Healing Strips are not treatd with any antibiotic or scar reducing treatment.
  
 
 
 
  Why We Invented Healing Strips    
 

For the past year I have been undergoing redundant skin reduction following a weight loss of over 180 pounds. I have not inches, but feet, yards of scars. As most incisions healed, different surgeries required different types and times of treatments after the doctor has removed the stitches and sterile strips. In most surgeries, there was a period of time where some part of absorbable stitching worked its way out of the indision, extending healing time in that area until the stitch or particle was removed. When I had the skin from my lower back removed (back beltectomy), my body seemed to have rejected the deep tissue stitching that zig-zagged across the incision from right side to left -- zig-zag stitching two inches above and below the stitch line; it was a lot of stitch material to remove. As a result, my husband had daily bouts of stitch pulling duty.

The healing process requires that anti-biotics be kept on while the incision is healing, and then hydrocortisone be kept on until the scar is mature; after that you want to use scar cream to help dissolve any remaining visible scarring. For the first three months you should have ongiong treatments applied. Different healing rates may require use of different ointments at the same applicaton.

The skin around an incision is extremely tender, as is the suture line itself. You just can't repeatedly apply and remove adhesive tape several times a day. Everything we tried to keep ointments on for absorption either did't work or would work but it crossed the suture line or irritated the surrounding tissue. After weeks of trial and error, we finally devised a system that would keep the area from irritation and pain due to ahdesive, keep the treatment ointment where it could treat the incision, and let air get to the area for healing. We were both thrilled, and Healing Strips were born; the truth is, we moved into obtaining a patent and producing them so they would be available for my next surgery.

This is an incredible new supplement I wish I'd had when I was losing weight and when I first began redundant skin reduction surgeries. When it comes to detoxifying the body, GSH is superb. It’s used by the body to protect us from just about every toxic element including pollution, poisons, drugs, chemicals, food additives and heavy metals. GSH effectively neutralizes contaminants, is a dominant player in phase two detoxification in the liver, protects against the ravages of DNA damage (skin, eye, blood and brain) and is a chelating agent that helps remove heavy metals. GSH is also the primary antioxidant powerhouse maintaining the oxidation-reduction potential that is the hallmark of healthy cells.

The body loses the ability to produce GSH over time. It can't be taken by supplement as it is destroyed in digestion. These two L-Glutathione products give your body the raw materials needed to make GSH again!
