This is the story of how we developed something useful for the millions of people who are allergic to poison ivy and other poisonous plants. These products are called anti-allergen skin cleansers. That success was followed by the development of anti-venom skin cleansers, including the world's first and only product formulated to neutralize venom from a snake bite. Next, we developed anti-bacterial skin-cleanser products that kill the bacteria that cause Staph infection. My name is Howard Phillips (To see a resume of education and experience, click on http://phillips.8k.com ) Here is my story...
The beginning: IvyStop! and IvyMed began with a great idea. We developed this idea slowly, at first, while I held full-time jobs as as a professor in the College of Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and later as part of a medical research team at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
The problem: During summer recess, I spent time "on the reservation" in southeastern Oklahoma where there is a LOT of poison ivy, poison oak and sumac. I enjoyed being there, because that's where I grew up, and I am a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Even though we Choctaws tend to like being outdoors, I am allergic to poison ivy/poison oak.
The need for a better remedy: The care of a physician typically includes the use of ointments and lotions, and sometimes steroid injections -- but the poison ivy allergy often persists for one to two weeks. During this period, the itching continues, and the spreading to other skin areas is usually a problem. Not satisfied with this, we put into motion the traditional Native American process for developing a remedy for poison ivy.
Nature often offers solutions for allergies. One example is a plant called Jewelweed which grows natually in some regions of the U.S. Jewelweed is often effective for treating a wide variety of natural irritants.
Our search for a better remedy: We considered both natural and commercial-product combinations in the quest for an instant relief from the itching caused by a poison ivy or poison oak attack. After two years of evaluation, we developed IvyStop, followed by IvyMed.
A successful result: Our conclusion is that IvyMed works better than any other known remedy to instantly stop the itching and quickly dry up the "weeping" that often results from a poison ivy attack. We are finding that this conclusion is shared by people who have used it.
Developed by engineers and Native Americans: Our products are a mix of engineering and home remedy, developed using Native American tradition. We are not representatives of pharmacists or physicians.
