New topical cream
 
I have just received an email from a US company selling Reunion Topical Cream for PN - anyone heard of this. here is the email copied

After considerable arm twisting, the President of Pure Biomed (I have deleted website) finally relented and approved a promotion for National Neuropathy Week.

Usually, marketers shout Hurrahs and throw confetti about a seasonal offer.

His concern was how do you "celebrate" or "honor" a malady that inflicts so much pain and suffering on so many people?

Still, Reunion wants to thank all who overcame their skepticism for online topical pain relief applications and found out first hand they can get hours of pain relief without side effects using Reunion.

Thank you!

For you and anyone else who would like to find out for themselves, ReunionPN is offering FREE shipping of any item(s) at www.ReunionPN.com through May 20, 2011. This represents a savings as much as 33% depending on the size of your order. Along with a 30-day money back guarantee, how can you go wrong? The only catch? You have to live in the continental U.S.

Best wishes for pain-free days!







I have asked the company who has given them my details, so will keep you Oates if they respond.

They do NOT tell their ingredients:

from their website for the oil version in the bottle:
Quote:

Features

Tropical oils blended to provide fast pain relief and maximum transdermal penetration. The exact formulation of the oils is proprietary. All oils are non-allergenic and listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of natural products maintained by the FDA.
I'd pass on it.

Thanks, I wasn't going to buy anyway but thought it concerning that they had access to my email address- I have asked them where they got this from.

oh, email spam? Another reason to ditch the offer!

BTW the website says "affordable PN treatment" and that little oil bottle? 34.95! ppfffffttt!

That little bottle has 15 milliliters (cc) in it, or 1/2 ounce.

Ingredients and Price
 
I'm sure the ingredients are on the product label. That's a requirement.

And I guess compared to Neuragen at $60 ... $35 doesn't sound bad.

well, I know nothing about this product but looking at the company website I cannot find any name, address or phone number and that is *always* a red flag to me :rolleyes:

reputable companies post their full contact info on their websites IMHO

Most of these products made for PNers, contain geranium oil.

I have posted the patent for this oil, for use for pain relief elsewhere on this forum. So I am not going to repeat that.

One can buy NOW brand geranium oil, for $11.46/ounce and that is essential in form, and requires dilution. So it will last a while at that price. (price quote from iherb.com)

Since we really don't know what the ingredients of the oil from
Reunion are, there is no way to evaluate it. No ingredients and no address of this "scientific company".. = AVOID IMO.

On the website buried in another section is a comment about geranium oil:

When I clicked on Send Us Feedback at the bottom of the page, up popped an email form complete with name and address.

Seems pretty mainstream to me.

Don't be coy ... the patent number is 5,260,313 dated 11/9/1993.

The inventor clearly states:

>>A variety of species of geranium plants exist throughout the world, with most having approximately the same chemical constituents in the extracted oil. However, one species which grows almost uniquely in the Reunion Islands, Pelargonium graveolens, Ait., has a unique chemical composition. <<

Gee ... that doesn't sound like any old geranium oil will do to me.

Chemar 04-28-2011 11:39 AM

sorry but I disagree that is "mainstream"

A company should post it's full contact info *on the website*

JMHO

You seem pretty defensive of the product Ptuii. Makes me wonder if perhaps you have a connection to it?
