QR CREAM FOR PAIN AFTER SHINGLES
Pain after shingles, also known as post herpetic neuralgia, can linger on for many months or even years. Dr. Bertrand conducted a research study of 22 people who had an average of five years of pain after shingles. Sixteen of them found relief (at last) with QR Cream. Twenty-five minutes after applying the cream, they had 35% pain relief which lasted 4 hours. This compares well with the 36% relief people get from narcotics, the 23% from anti-inflammatory medications like Advil or Voltaren and 13% from Tylenol (acetaminophen)
Relief was even better for the 2 who used the QR base with mannitol alone: in 5 minutes, they had 69% pain relief which lasted 5 hours. We are planning to market QR cream with mannitol alone for those who do not tolerate menthol.
