NFI Consumer Products, Maker of Blue-Emu™, Announces the Problem with Scars on the American Health Radio Show Featuring Dr. Jerome Chao and Chri

FAYETTEVILLE, NC (PRWEB) November 7, 2006 -- NFI Consumer Products, which markets and distributes the popular Blue-Emu™ family of products for pain relief, announces its participation on the American Health Radio Show September 25, 2006 to discuss the Problem with Scars featuring Dr. Jerome Chao and Chris Doster and new treatment options most notably Transdermis™ Scar Therapy (www.transdermis.com).

Dr. Jerome Chao, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Assistant Professor of Surgery at Albany Medical College, elaborates on the American Health Radio, "Scott Broder from the American Health Radio interviews company representatives about new health treatments, products, and services. American Health Radio has an extensive listening audience that includes a large percentage of physicians. Scott's interview with us on the American Health Radio, which aired September 25, 2006, allowed us to utilize his program to provide a platform to discuss the Problem with Scars and offer a solution to the problem in the form of Transdermis™ Scar Therapy. Transdermis™ Scar Therapy is due to launch to consumers in late February 2007. We are getting the word out to the medical community now. Hundreds of my counterparts are investigating Transdermis™ Scar Therapy. This means that we have a sufficient clinical base of physicians offering Transdermis™ Scar Therapy as a follow-up to their surgical procedures. I have initiated a randomized double-blind clinical university-based, institutional review board study. The results are expected to be published in mid-2007, but I can tell you that the results of preliminary studies are exciting"

"Our biggest elation comes in the form of the positive feedback we are experiencing from physicians who are embracing Transdermis™ Scar Therapy," says Chris Doster, Transdermis™ Brand Manager for NFI Consumer Products. "Dr. Jerome Chao has taken the necessary steps to bring Transdermis™ Scar Therapy to his colleagues in order to help more people who are receiving little or no treatment for their scars. His articles "The Spin on Scars" printed in the October edition of The Pharmacy Review and "The Problem with Scars" printed in the April edition of Plastic Surgery Products identify solutions to low compliance and no treatment. The evidence is clear that the highly penetrating and emulsifying benefits that emu oil possesses, in combination with anti-inflammatory properties, make Transdermis™ Scar Therapy a unique and remarkable solution for surgical scars as well as burns, cuts and animal bites. Over 400 Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists, and Cosmetic Surgeons have enrolled in our Scar Challenge designed to provide the medical community with a validation tool and improve patient compliance. We plan to provide national retailers with the opportunity to stock Transdermis™ Scar Therapy so that consumers can easily locate it when they leave their physician's office."
