All natural skin care product

By definition, the word natural is an adjective referring to something that is present in or produced by nature and not artificial or man-made. When the word natural is used in verbiage or written, many times it is assumed that the definition is something good or pure. However, many effective poisons are natural products. The term natural products today is quite commonly understood to refer to herbs, herbal concoctions, dietary supplements, traditional Chinese medicine, or alternative medicine. That is not the case here. The information presented here will be restricted to recent knowledge and research in the field of proteins, complex carbohydrates (molecules formed by sugar chains), glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosaminoglycans, and the biological systems in which they are found, as it is pertinent to human skin renewal and a promising new venue for the discovery of remedies derived from natural biological sources.

While in some cases, such discovery and development may have been based on herbs, folklore, or traditional or alternative medicine, the research and discovery of, along with the development of, plant, microbes, or animal derived remedies or dietary supplements typically present different challenges with different goals. So while the stories of herbs and remedies are very much intertwined, it needs to be fully appreciated that the use of herbs or animal sources as natural product therapy is different than the discovery of the biological action of those sources.

History and Background of the use of Natural Products as Therapeutic Agents

Natural products are generally either of prebiotic origin or originate from microbes, plants, or animal sources. As chemicals, natural products include such classes of compounds as terpenoids, polyketides, amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates (sugars), lipids, nucleic acid bases, ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and so forth. Natural products are not just accidents or products of convenience of nature. More than likely they are a natural expression of the increase in complexity of organisms. Interest in natural sources to provide treatments for pain, palliatives, or curatives for a variety of maladies or recreational use reaches back to the earliest points of history.

Nature has provided many things for humankind over the years, including the tools for the first attempts at therapeutic intervention. Neanderthal remains have been found to contain the remnants of medicinal herbs. The Nei Ching is one of the earliest health science anthologies ever produced and dates back to the thirtieth century BC. Some of the first records on the use of natural products in medicine were written in cuneiform in Mesopotamia on clay tablets and date to approximately 2600 BC. Indeed, many of these agents continue to exist in one form or another to this day as treatments for inflammation, influenza, coughing, and parasitic infestation. Chinese herb guides document the use of herbaceous plants as far back in time as 2000 BC. In fact, The Chinese Materia Medica has been repeatedly documented over centuries starting at about 1100 BC. Egyptians have been found to have documented uses of various herbs in 1500 BC. The best known of these documents is the Ebers Papyrus, which documents nearly 1000 different substances and formulations, most of which are plant-based medicines. Asclepius (in 1500 bc) was a physician in ancient Greece who achieved fame in part because of his use of plants in medicine. A collection of Ayurvedic hymns in India from 1000 bc and earlier describes the uses of over 1000 different herbs. This work served as the basis for Tibetan Medicine translated from Sanskrit during the eighth century. Theophrastus, a philosopher and natural scientist in approximately 300 bc, wrote a History of Plants in which he addressed the medicinal qualities of herbs and the ability to cultivate them. The Greek botanist Pedanious Dioscorides in approximately ad 100 produced a work entitled De Materia Medica, which today is still a very well-known European document on the use of herbs in medicine. Galen (ad 130200), practiced and taught pharmacy and medicine in Rome and published over two dozen books on his areas of interest. Galen was wellknown for his complex formulations containing numerous and multiple ingredients. Monks in monasteries in the Middle Ages (fifth to the twelfth centuries) copied manuscripts about herbs and their uses. However, it should not go unrecognized that it was the Arabs who were responsible for maintaining the documentation of much of the Greek and Roman knowledge of herbs and natural products and expanding that information with their own knowledge of Chinese and Indian herbal medicine. The Persian philosopher and physician Avicenna produced a work entitled Canon Medicinae, which is considered to be the definitive summarization of Greek and Roman medicine. Li Shih-Chen produced a Chinese drug encyclopedia during the Ming Dynasty entitled Pen-tsas kang mu in ad 1596, which records 1898 herbal drugs and 8160 prescriptions. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, had a profoundly negative view on the status of physicians within society and in 1747 wrote a book entitled Primitive Physic, which was a popular reference book of the time detailing numerous natural cures. When the colonists originally came to America, they lacked trained physicians and so turned to the Native Americans for advice in healing practices. Such a lack of conventional medicine and physicians in early America spawned the production of various types of almanacs and other publications that contained various natural product-based recipes and assorted tidbits of medical information. Indeed, in an effort to curry favor with commoners, physicians themselves turned to the production of self-treatment guides for the general public. Various types of societies and botanical clubs held meetings and published different types of communiqus to educate the public with regard to the availability of natural products and how they could be helpful to an individuals health. Samuel Thompsons Thompsons New Guide to Health was one very popular publication.

For a variety of different reasons, the interest in natural products continues to this very day. The first commercial pure natural product introduced for therapeutic use is generally considered to be the narcotic morphine, marketed by Merck in 1826. The first semisynthetic pure drug based on a natural product, aspirin, was introduced by Bayer in 1899.

BIO SKIN CARE is an all natural gift of nature for a healthy skin.

The active element in BIO SKIN CARE cream is a natural biological ingredient, collected from live land snails, the same they use to quickly repair their own skin and shell when damaged. It is contained in the mucin secreted by the snails, and gathered through a process that is safe for them. It is a viscose liquid that is made into an odorless white cream with no alien, synthetic chemicals.

Analysis of the mucin has determined that it contains activators of skin growth factors and antimicrobial peptides. Also present are natural anti-inflammatory and immune modulating proteins, glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans that tightly binds divalent cations, such as copper(II), and sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG), as protein-free polysaccharides.

GAGs are a family of linear anionic polysaccharides that are typically isolated as proteoglycans linked to a protein core. The biological functions of proteoglycans, including the regulation of cell growth, signaling, inflammation, tumorigenesis, and interactions with pathogens result, in large part, through the interaction of the GAG chains in proteoglycans with proteins, such as growth factors and their receptors. GAGs also provide hydration and swelling pressure to tissues enabling them to withstand compression forces.

The bioactive ingredients act as:

(1) regulators of enzyme activity;

(2) regulators of neurite outgrowth, and

(3) anti-inflammatory agents that limits oxidative damage after tissue injury;

(4) stabilizers, cofactors, and/or coreceptors for

(4a) proteins produced by the human body that enable cells to communicate and effectively coordinate activities between one another (growth factors),

(4b) intracellular messenger molecules whose major function is to attract immune cells to sites of infection (chemokines), and

(4c) regulatory proteins released by cells of the immune system that act as intercellular mediators in the generation of an immune response (cytokines).

Natural skin care cream with natural skin renewal activators - Best Results from BIO SKIN CARE™

Clinical trials have shown that the best results from exfoliation are achieved when the treatment is combined with SKIN REGENERATING ACTIVATORS. The reason is after the skin has been damaged by peeling it is IMPERATIVE that skin healing progresses at a quick pace.

Skin healing is a highly ordered systemic process that involves the coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and migration and tissue remodeling, predominantly by copper peptide enzymes and growth factors. The slowing of skin healing that occurs when we age is related to changes in the activity of these various regulatory factors.

Now, for the first time, BIO SKIN CARE™ CREAM brings you the ONLY skin renewal product that incorporates natural skin renewal activators to gently exfoliate the worn out cells while at the same time triggering the reproduction of new collagen and elastin cells, resulting in a coordinated biological regulation of the skin renewal process and thus advanced skin rejuvenation.
