Study Shows Emu Oil With Same Fatty Acid Profile As Human
Skin:

In human skin there are certain fats, or fat membranes in the skin layers that are
crucial for promoting and maintaining normal skin function. These fats are
important for promoting tissue lipids that, in turn, are important in promoting
protoplasm.

No living being can survive without protoplasm. Protoplasm is responsible for
promoting new cell growth that takes place in the body every day. This means
new skin cells, connective tissue around the organs...etc.

This important process can break down as the important fats are depleted from
the skin layers. This can happen due to over exposure to UV rays ( sunlight,
tanning beds ), poor health, poor immune systems and the natural aging
process. Certain types of prescription drugs with prolonged use over time can
cause the skin to be depleted of these important fats. For example, prescribed
use of steroids can deplete the skin layers of these natural fats.

The result of the skin layers depleted of these natural fats can be various types
of skin disorders. These disorders can be premature age wrinkles, chronic dry
skin, thin skin, chronic bruising, bleeding beneath the skin,
age spots ( sun
spots
) and skin tears due to thin skin. Other disorders can be skin diseases
such as
dermatitis, eczema, skin cancers, and non-healing wounds such
as diabetic ulcers.

It is important to note that if you have age spots  that means you have
damaged skin due to long periods of exposure to sunlight. This also means you
are a candidate for skin cancer.

The question may now be,"can the human body replenish itself with these
natural fats when depleted from the skin layers". The answer is NO.

In order to replenish the skin layers with fatty acids and natural oils it must be
applied topically to the skin.

A substance called emu oil has proven to be
very effective in supplying the epidermal
layers  with important fatty acids that help
promote normal skin function.

Emu oil is known to reduce wrinkles,
condition thin skin, reduce age spots,
bruising and skin tears. Emu oil or a skin
care product made with emu oil is
important for providing a daily preventive
care application to the skin against various
types of skin disorders, including
diabetic ulcers and various types of
non-healing wounds.

Poor circulation due to diabetes or heart
problems can result in skin breakdowns in
lower extremities due to lack of nutrients to the skin layers received through blood flow. Fatty acids are known to
help improve blood flow ( improved circulation ) by applying to the skin topically. This is important for preventive
care against
diabetic ulcers, symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, stasis dermatitis, stasis ulcers in the lower
legs and feet and various types of skin disorders.

Emu Oil is a oil compound consisting of a heavy concentration of essential fatty acids.   Emu Oil used in Rae'lex
Health Care products is processed in USDA inspected plants. It is also refined as a food grade oil formulated
into skin care products.

Appendix 1 -- Essential Fatty Acids Lubricate Skin, Prevent Pressure Sores Increase Skin Cell Proliferation

By Liza G. Ovington, PhD, CWS
President, Ovington & Associates
Dania, Florida--U.S.A.

"Preventive is better than cure," - Desiderius Erasmus

Physical forces contributing to pressure ulcer formation include unrelieved pressure, friction and shear. Dry
skin is thought to contribute to frictional forces, and consequently to the development of pressure ulcers. Skin
lubrication is one method of reducing frictional forces recommended by the 1992 Agency for Health Care Policy
and Research ( AHCPR ) Pressure Ulcer Prevention Guidelines. Maintaining skin with adequate hydration and
elasticity is vital to prevent loss of skin integrity.

Essential fatty acids ( EFA's ), specifically linoleic and linolenic acids, have been shown to play
an important role in maintaining the moisture barrier function of the skin ( e.g., preventing water loss and skin
dehydration ). Studies of cutaneous biology have shown that a diet deficient in essential fatty acids ( EFA's ) can
lead to characteristic scaly skin disorders.

It has been observed that in patients receiving parenteral nutrition, there is a concomitant depletion of stores of
essential fatty acids. It is further known that such depletion of essential fatty acids leads to skin conditions such
as scaling and dermatitis. Patients receiving parenteral nutrition may be at high risk for pressure ulcer
formation, not only from the direct affects of inadequate nutrition, but from secondary affects on their skin
condition.

The body uses these fatty acids to maintain healthy cell membranes and also as starting materials for building
other fatty acids.

Research in both human and animal models has shown that oral administration of essential fatty acids can
reverse dietary depletion and results in a transient increase in skin cell proliferative activity and amelioration of
scaling ( even in the absence of depletion ). A similar increase in proliferative activity was later achieved in
animal models by a topical application of essential fatty acids in a cream base.

Topical application allows the essential fatty acids to penetrate the epidermal layers down to the basal layer,
where it enhances proliferation in specific areas, such as those at risk for breakdown.

The use of topical essential fatty acids as a skin lubricant in at-risk patients recently has been shown to be
effective in preventing ulcer formation. A randomized controlled, blinded study in 86 patients compared the
effects of lubrication of the skin every eight hours with two different topical solutions. One topical solution
contained essential fatty acids combined with vitamins A and E ( to prevent oxidation of the oils ). All of the
patients were rated high-risk ( using the Norton scale for risk assessment ) and most were severely
mal-nourished and received parenteral nutrition. All patients received preventive interventions as described by
guidelines from the AHCPR in addition to skin lubrication with test solutions.

Evaluation of skin integrity after 21 days of treatment revealed that the 43 patients treated with the EFA solution,
two developed Stage 1 pressure ulcers and none developed Stage II ulcers. Of the 43 patients treated with the
mineral oil solution, 12 ( 27% ) developed Stage II pressure ulcers.

Subjective rating of skin hydration and elasticity differed for the two treatment groups as well. Of the 42 patients
treated with the essential fatty acid solution, 42 maintained skin hydration and 32 maintained skin elasticity. Of
the 43 patients treated with the mineral oil solution, only nine maintained skin hydration while 34 showed
evidence of deep dehydration and scaly skin. Ten of the mineral oil patients maintained skin elasticity and 33
exhibited a loss of skin elasticity.

Based on this research, the use of topical essential fatty acids to promote skin integrity and prevent ulcer
formation looks promising. It has been suggested that hyper-oxygenation of the fatty acids esters provides the
benefit of increasing local blood flow in the area of application as measured by transcutaneous oximetry.
Because pressure ulcerations results from the local
ischemia, an increase in local blood flow could be a preventive benefit.

Based on the various studies on the effects of topical essential fatty acids on skin ( and perhaps
on micro circulation ) they may provide a valuable and multifunctional tool in pressure ulcer prevention.

'Emu oil' There are two types of fat the body cannot produce and must get through diet–
Omega 3 (Linolenic) and Omega 6 (Linoleic). Because the body cannot produce them,
these are called “Essential Fatty Acids”. (The Omega designation relates to the chemical
structure of the fat). These Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are preferred by the body to
manufacture enzymes and hormones. EFAs are also used to produce the hormone-like
substance prostaglandins, which are used to regulate heart rate, blood pressure, blood
clotting, fertility, conception, and immune functions. And EFAs are needed to maintain the
integrity of the cell wall. Without sufficient EFAs cell walls develop leakages and cannot
efficiently eliminate toxins and cleanse the blood. Emu Oil and Human Skin – More Similar
Than Different In studies done at Auburn University, Dr. Paul Smith, Dr. Margaret Craig-
Schmidt and Amanda Brown demonstrated that the fatty acid composition of emu oil was
very similar to the composition of human skin oil. Emu oil is approximately 70% unsaturated
fatty acids. The largest component is Oleic acid – a mono-unsaturated fatty acid. Emu oil
also contains about 20% Linoleic (Omega 6) acid and 1-2% Linolenic (Omega 3) acid.
Additionally, the oil contains Vitamins A & E – anti-oxidants, Sapogens – skin softeners and
Terpines – antiseptics. When considering why emu oil works Dr. Leigh Hopkins, a
Compounding Pharmacist and Clinical Professor of Pharmacology, believes it’s important to
recognize that emu oil is one of the basic food groups many Western societies are choosing
to severely limit. We’re consuming more of the not good fats and less of the good fats – 100%
