Pain has a new adversary! A blend of natural oils drawn from five different countries has been used to produce a new pain treatment for fibromyalgia. Called 024 Fibromyalgia and developed by Swiss Medica in Canada, with the seal of approval of the American National Fibromyalgia Association, the product has received positive responses from fibro sufferers. The product is described as ideal for people who choose to embrace life and not take pain lying down.
024 Fibromyalgia which comes in a bottle or as a towelette, is created from the earth's most potent healing botanicals with ingredients from the best-sourced botanicals on earth. It contains camphor oil (white) (Japan), eucalyptus oil (Australia), aloe vera oil (Mexico), peppermint oil (India), rosemary oil (Spain), lemon oil (USA) and orange oil (USA). Launched in the USA in June, it is hoped it will reach the UK sometime in 2006.
Described as the first product developed specifically for the symptoms of long term pain of Fibromyalgia syndrome, it is clinically tested, strong, safe, all-natural, and available without prescription
Swiss Medica President, Grant Johnson said, “We have known that Fibromyalgia sufferers were crying out for a natural, non-prescription, safe product that could bring them pain relief and 024 is just the beginning. We are very happy that we were able to bring it to market.”
The American National Fibromyalgia Association estimates that the average family doctor sees at least one Fibromyalgia patient each day and that the syndrome could cost U.S. economy as much as $10 billion a year in lost productivity. It is believed that there are millions of Americans suffering from the long-term pain associated with Fibromyalgia.
“Working with the National Fibromyalgia Association will provide Swiss Medica with a unique opportunity. We are making an unprecedented and on-going commitment to support the much-needed services that the NFA provides to fibromyalgia sufferers,” said Grant Johnson.
As part of this strategic partnership, the non-profit NFA will receive a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of O24 Fibromyalgia. This revenue will directly benefit people with FM by supporting the programs and services of the NFA.
"The Fibromyalgia community is desperate for safe, effective treatment options to help reduce FM symptoms, including long-term widespread muscle pain," said Lynne Matallana, President of the NFA.
"Even though there are up to 11 million Americans suffering with FM, there have been only a few products developed and clinically tested to evaluate their effectiveness specifically for Fibromyalgia pain. We are pleased that Swiss Medica has not only developed such a product, but is now committed to helping support patient service programmes and future research implemented by the NFA to directly benefit the FM community. The NFA’s partnership with Swiss Medica will be an incalculable benefit to our 400,000 members.
“How does O24 work? For long lasting relief, just spray a few drops of O24 on the painful area and gently rub into the skin in a circular motion with light pressure. You will feel essential botanical oils begin to work almost immediately. O24 is formulated without alcohol, glycerine, synthetics or preservatives”, she said.
Grant Johnson, who is looking for a UK distributor, received a request from Denise McSpadden, a member of the Surrey & Sussex FM Support Group, after she read reports of the new product on the Internet. She requested free samples for all of the members of this group. The samples are apparently heading this way.
I have been fortunate enough to receive a few palm-sized wipes, which have really worked well and lasted a long time. I have to admit I do smell like a chemist shop after use but that is a small price to pay for relief. They do have a strong smell of pine and reminded me of good clean country fresh air. It will be great to have these on demand at the local chemist – they work well, are safe and natural. If you would like more information look at www.024zone.com.
