Apple Cider Vinegar
My sixteen year old dog has dog warts and Apple Cider Vinegar makes them disappear. I apply ACV two to three times a day using a little spray bottle. You will see the results of the shrinkage within a few days. Her big wart went from a half dollar size to a penny size. After two or three weeks you won't notice it anymore. It is amazing and beats paying an expensive vet bill to have the warts surgically removed.
Greene, Me
I just had to put my beloved bday down because of warts one grew inside her sinus cavity. I had them removed once and unfortunately she was 14 years old when I noticed she started bleeding from her nose because of her age they recommended I not put her under sedation she lived another two years and I had no clue they were contagious, so now my 6 year old dog has a few on his body. he is bijon frese and he is growing one on his eyelid how would I treat that ? my vet didnt know these were warts because I asked him and he said he didn't know. My husband has agreed to finally go to a specialist but if I can heal these myself? I would be grateful. I don't want to rely on another vet letting Mr. Tibbs down and we tried caster oil and turmeric and it didnt work. I'm willing to ty the apple cider vinegar but how do I apply to his eyelid or can I ?

For some warts sticking up of my dog's body I tied waxy dental floss around the base of the wart and in a few days they would die off, due to lack of blood supply. Then the ACV killed them off within days. You could shut your dogs eyes and rub the ACV on the skin with a cotton ball. I use a dropper 3xs/day topically on the warts and they're going away...Hope that helps

To Darla Greene, Me, I am so sorry you lost your dog. It is so difficult not to have them around all of a sudden. I hope you are able to take the time you need to grieve and if some stupid person make a comment to you like, "why would u be upset it just a dog", or this one from my cousin's pastor, "dogs don't go to heaven". You can email me and I will personally make a trip to where u live and have a private talk with them. You will be in our racers. Kare
I wouldn't use vinegar on your dogs eyelid, you could potentially blind him.. My 15yr coton had one in the same place, his eyelid, and he already had major spinal surgery and didn't want to put him under anesthesia but it kept growing and would bleed and hurt him so I had it removed and he has been so much happier for it. We have to go and have another removed on his foot that is the size of a large grape its really bothering him to the point he doesn't sleep and doesn't let me sleep.
Hope, Bc Canada
Hello, Jannese (Nyc)---
You can also try Lugols Iodine 5%, just covering the offending area and do several times a day.

Dear Meriel,
Try all or some of the following.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar ( on any part except eyes and genital)
2. Castor Oil/ Coconut oil application on areas close to eyes)
3. Vitamin E capsules
4. Improve your dog's food, add protein and vitamins less carbs.
Hope it helps

My 12 year old dog started developing a large wart on the top of his head which kept getting larger and larger. The vet said older dogs develop them and that there was not much he could do about it. I started dipping a cotton swab into ACV and applying right on top of the wart twice a day; once in the morning and once at night. It totally disappeared within a couple of weeks!

I just got on the internet trying to find a cure for my 11 year old cocker. He has multiple "old dog warts, "at least that is what the vet said, he also said they were harmless but he has developed numerous ones and they make me hurt if they don't hurt him! I will try Apple Cider Vinegar immediately starting now, I also will post my results so anyone looking for a cure will know what works or doesn't. I know apple cider vinegar (acv) with the mother in it is known for lots of cures, Thanks for the advice.
Fairbanks, Ak
To reader from White Oak WV.... Did the ACV work on your cocker? We have a 17 YO with probably 20 on his body. He is in good health otherwise and has 3 areas with clear gel that looks uncomfortable but don't bother him too. I have been putting [a nutritional mineral oil] on them to keep them from bleeding as it has Almond Oil with Vit A, C & E. Am anxious to give the ACV a try as they must itch especially when they are growing. Thank you folks for this website.
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Hi, I have tried thuja, could you please let me know what ACV is as I never heard of it, my baby has a big wart on the side of her back and another one on the upper part of her leg that she bites on all the time. I tried castor oil but she likes the taste, she also has other warts on her body I have got to the point that I do not know what to put on her I am now trying vitamin E, much appreciated if you could help me as Angel will be 15yrs old and she is my baby Thank you so very very much.

Castor Oil
I was nervous to be applying the Castor oil to my dog's eye lid. So I have been inconsistent with the applications. The wart was getting smaller. After reading these excellent reviews I will start putting it on in the morning and night. Thank you so much for having this Natural Remedies website! God bless you abundantly for investing this handy information for us pet parents! :) <3
Castor oil for canine warts
My dog had 3 warts right on the edge of her eyelid. They didn't seem to be irritating her eye any but they were not attractive to look at. I was afraid to use ACV because if it got in her eye it would be painful. So I tried castor oil, which I knew would not harm her eye. I have been using it twice a day for a week and a half now and the two tiny warts are gone. The large wart has reduced in size considerably.
I am very happy with the results I got from the castor oil.

Telly is a 'blue' bald dachshund. (Alopecia runs rampant with this color in the dacshund world. ) He's also 12. 5 years old (and paralyzed! ) Once a year, I have to have warts removed on him. They start out whitish. Turn pink and grow. Darker pink and grow more. Time for lopping!
So, since Telly has approx 20 warts in various stages of growth, I am doing an experiment on him! Castor oil on the back half, ACV on the front half, and iodine on a couple of the bigger ones.
It has been about ten days and all the moles seem more whitish and less prominent. One big one that is being treated with iodine (actually, Edgar Cayce's Atomidine) has turned even pinker, but I did read that this can happen as the wart releases toxins.
I will give updates in a couple of weeks. Let's hope we have a clear winner!
Elkhorn, Ne, USA
Telly Update - All of his small to medium warts are almost flush with his skin. I hadnt thought anything was working because when the vet lops off the wart, it's just gone. The methods I'm using are 'deflating' them and hopefully they will disappear altogether.
The two larger warts (kind of a cauliflower appearance) still seem to be prominent and non-responsive. I am going to try some colloidal silver on them.
And a HUGE surprise!!! My bald dog is growing hair on 100% of his little blue body!!!!!!!! I attribute this to the Atomidine (iodine). A friend had a bald dog and gave it Seameal (enzyme supplements)... Main ingredient was kelp. The dog went from completely bald to 100% hair growth. Common denominator here is iodine! (I will post in the hair loss and alopecia page, too).
Castor Oil, Turmeric
I have an older shih tzu that had a large wart on the side of his body. He kept scratching it with his hind leg and it would bleed. Took him to the vet and the vet wanted $175 to remove it. I thought I'd try a home remedy first so I tried the castor oil and turmeric remedy for tumors. I mixed some turmeric with castor oil in a small jar so I'd have it handy. I cut the fur all around the wart and put the castor oil/turmeric paste on the wart. Since turmeric stains, I put some gauze and then 2 layers of some heavier material over the wart. Then I wrapped a wide stretchable bandage around his body a couple of times, being sure not to make it tight at all, just snug enough to hold everything in place. After that was done, I put a sweater on him to make it hard for him to scratch. I treated him 3-4 times a day. It's been a month and the wart looks like it's gone. I'm still treating him for a few more days to be sure the wart is completely gone. The bandage and sweater are stained from the tumeric but he never got any on the furniture or carpet. He also started getting a wart on his bottom eyelid so I put just castor oil on it every night and it looks like it's going away. I've been putting the castor oil on his eyelid for a month now.
Coconut Oil, Colloidal Silver
Just have been treating my dog with coconut oil on 3 warts. Taken one and half weeks . Two of the warts one large one on the leg I saw today was a bit dark. Cleaned it with Colliodial Silver (CS) first and there was this white present on the top. Gentley squeezed and out came a white but firm substance. Gave a deep squeeze from the bottom and a lump of white matter came out. Bleed a little and cleaned with colliodial silver and rub a small amount of Coconut oil (CO). Same thing just happened to wart on head. Will continue to clean with CS and rub CO until it is healed. Both CS and CO are good for viral, bacterial, and fungi so I thought I would try and so far successful. The reason I wanted to try and get rid of them was that the warts seemed to keep growing and them part of it was breaking off as it got taller and I think it was unpleasant for my dog even though my vet said they weren't harmful but after reading about warts on this site I thought Id give it a go. Hoping it wont return. I guess time will tell. I think my boy is more comfortable on his rump as I was sure it was causing him unpleasant pressure. Hope this helps some other loved animal.
Kind regards, Mardi
Greene, Maine
My dog had these growths and my vet didn't know what they were my dog ended up having some removed because they were growing on her eyelid and she had one grow in her sinus cavity and ultimately it grew so big she past so im so bummed these vets say there ok no worries etc... its obviously contagious because my other dog now has them and I am so concerned my veterinarian cannot help me. so do u honestly get results with coconut oil and what kind? and coidial silver where do I purchase this?
My 13 month old Collie/labrador cross developed a papilloma wart on side of face and it had cauliflower appearance. Got him checked at vet just to be sure.I was told to leave it and it would go naturally in 3-6 months. As he was scratching it and making it bleed I decided to try Thuja 30. Gave 1 tablet per day for 2 weeks and squeezed a few drops from vitamin c capsule twice a day directly on to wart. The wart is totally gone apart from bald patch where it was. He was due for his annual booster at vet and she was shocked to see wart gone after saying homeopathic remedies are just sugar and waste of money which I reminded her she had said.
Thuja, Mushroom Immune Support, Castor Oil
4 year old female Airedale mix had warts on her feet that she was licking constantly. I was worried she would get them in her mouth. Dr. Pitcairn recommended a single homeopathic dose of thuja. I used 30c which is what I had. 1 dose of four pills. Then I started giving her a mushroom supplement to build her immune system. I rubbed her paws each night with castor oil which she just seemed to lick off. 1 month later no warts. I am still giving her the mushroom immune support supplement.

Addicted to Attention Ch. 02byBarbara©
The men eventually arrived home with the news that Burt had rung the owners of the house and told us that we would definitely own the property by early next week. They had agreed on a long term financial settlement at a low interest rate. Their lawyers were known by Des and they had offices close to the bank where Des and Ken worked.
They had all but finalised the deal on terms that we could easily afford. Now we could let Tony and his workmate know that the deal would definitely happen so that they could plan our alterations when we met them later on that evening.

Million Dollar Look For Less: Osbourne's Apartment
Have you seen the new show on BRAVO, Million Dollar Decorators? It's fabulous! It's about an elite group of Hollywood interior designers whose clients are uber-wealthy. Many of the designers/cast members mentioned in the first episode that they essentially do not waste their time on less than one million dollar projects. On the show you can watch them in action and delve into their extravagant personal lives.
Because of this show, I decided to do a new blog segment, Million Dollar look for Less, because let's face it, 98.5% of us can't afford these fabulous designs but who says we can't fake it? So let's break down these million dollar rooms, decorate on a budget, and copy the look for a fraction of the price.
This first look, Sharon Osbourne's Apartment is from the first episode. Here is a picture of her new living room. The rug alone is $23,000. I don't know about you, but I can't even imagine spending $2,300 on a rug…
Let's start with the large pieces. Although it is not leather, I found the L-shaped black sofa at IKEA for $848.00. The rug is 7X9 and it is on Amazon.com right now for $174.40.
This modern brown leather chair was found on regencyshop.com for $345.00 each and the black media table was another IKEA find for $329.00.
Don't forget about the accessories! The black trunk is from Walmart for $49.00. The X-inspired lamps are $149.00 for the pair at homedecorators.com. The white bowl is a steal on Amazon for $35.00, and finally the frames are from none other than IKEA for $9.99 each. What a deal!

Britney Spears hospitalized again
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Troubled pop star Britney Spears was in a Los Angeles hospital for the second time in a month on Thursday after being taken from her home in the middle of the night by ambulance and a fleet of police.
Several celebrity media outlets reported that the singer was being held for a mental evaluation. Hospital officials declined to comment, citing patient confidentiality.
News video showed more than a dozen police motorcycles and squad cars entering and leaving Spear's Los Angeles home shortly after midnight on Thursday and taking her to the UCLA Medical Center.
Spears, 26, whose life has grown increasingly erratic in the past 12 months, is being held for a three-day mental evaluation on the orders of her psychiatrist, her self-styled manager, Sam Lutfi, told the New York Post's gossip Web site PageSix.com.
Spears' estranged mother, Lynne, and her father, Jamie, were pictured leaving the hospital on Thursday morning along with Lutfi. Lynne Spears told reporters only that Britney was okay.
Celebrity web site TMZ.com said the pop star's psychiatrist felt Spears, who is followed night and day by paparazzi, was a danger to herself because of reckless driving and a recent deterioration in her behavior.
Thursday's transfer to hospital was prearranged, according to TMZ.com, with Spears' doctors, her parents and Los Angeles police.
Spears' personal life went downhill after she filed for divorce from Kevin Federline in November 2006. She was seen out partying without wearing panties. She shaved her head, attacked paparazzi and spent a month in rehab.
Spears, who has lost custody and visiting rights with her two young sons, was ordered late last year to undergo random drug and alcohol tests by the family court handling her bitter custody dispute with ex-husband Federline. Continued...

CSR plc debuted the SiRFstarV 5e, a new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) chip in early June (press release). Directions Magazine asked CSR's director of product line, Dave Huntingford, and director of mobile segment marketing, James Cheng, about the new chip's features and the state of outdoor and indoor positioning.
Directions Magazine (DM): The SiRFstarV 5e supports GLONASS, GPS, QZSS and SBAS from ROM. GLONASS is the Russian GNSS and GPS is the U.S. GNSS. What are QZSS and SBAS? And, why are those terms unfamiliar?
Dave Huntingford and James Cheng (CSR): QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System) is an operational regional satellite navigation system that improves the availability and accuracy of GPS services by providing ranging and correction data for quite a wide region in Asia. Although it is primarily targeted at Japan, the QZSS orbits provide coverage down to Australia. The first satellite was launched in 2010 and it is planned to be a four-satellite constellation by 2018. Because it's limited to Japan and Oceania/Australia, it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves outside of those regions.
SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) is a system that supplements GNSS, with wide-area or regional augmentation via geostationary satellites that broadcast correction messages. Data from the satellites, such as long-term errors of satellite orbits, clock errors, Ionospheric delays and integrity are calculated at ground stations at precisely located positions and broadcast to satellites so that locations are much more exact. Many systems are available around the world, for example, WAAS in the U.S., EGNOS in Europe, MSAS and QZSS in Asia. SBAS is not a satellite system by itself, so it is less known than the main satellite system.
DM: What is the general strategy for "power saving modes"? Can you give examples of how the chip saves power?
CSR: SiRFstarV 5e saves overall system power by having the location engine built into the chip, letting the host system to go to sleep, since it is not needed for positioning. SiRFstarV 5e also has the following power saving modes to further reduce power consumption on the chip itself:
- SiRFAware maintains hot start capability with ultra low power
- Push-to-Fix can adaptively reduce power, depending on the environment and motion conditions (< 6 mW)
- TricklePower mode requires <10mW
- TricklePowerII adaptive modes to reduce continuous tracking power
DM: The new "InstantFix Extended Ephemeris" feature will help time to first fix. How does this work?
CSR: Ephemeris data is positioning information broadcast by a GPS satellite that details its exact position in the sky. Every 30 seconds or so, a typical satellite very precisely broadcasts its location and orbit data for the next 2 to 4 hours. SiRFInstantFix can be downloaded to the GNSS chip via an Internet connection beforehand, and it significantly improves the time to first fix (TTFF) for location-centric devices by autonomously forward predicting Ephemeris. SiRFInstantFix offers 14 and 31 days of EE data for GLONASS and GPS, respectively. The 5e also supports predicting Ephemeris orbit data locally for a few days, for products that are not connected or infrequently connected.
DM: The SiRFstarV 5e might find its way into wearable navigation solutions, such as glasses. What are the key features of a chip for that sort of use? Are they significantly different from those in a phone?
CSR: An important issue for wearable navigation solutions is that they need to have low power consumption while maintaining good performance. A smartphone generally has a rather powerful application processor and large battery, whereas most wearable gadgets cannot afford them. SiRFstarV 5e with its built-in location engine and advanced power saving modes is the key to saving overall system power.
DM: With the big push for indoor navigation, is an "indoor/outdoor" chip likely in the future? What are the current challenges or barriers to such an engine?
CSR: The challenge of the indoor solution is the fusion of indoor and outdoor solutions. In many cases, indoor location is affected by the weak GNSS signal picked up indoors that points to a location outside due to poor satellite visibility. The key for successful indoor location is the ability to fuse satellite, MEMS [microelectromechanical systems - technology of very small devices] sensor and other available wireless signals into a good indoor position.

My female bullmastiff/ French mastiff has started her cycle? Confused?
I am not sure, but yesterday, my female bullmastiff/ French mastiff was laying on my light pink rug, got up sniffed around the rug and layed back down in the other direction. She did this three times. Finally, i told her to come and eat, and when I did, I spotted a drop of blood, so i put her out on the back patio. Now since then I haven't seen any blood. My mastiff is only 8 months and four days. Is this normal. Or is she hitting her puberty days? Can a dog have puberty?

The first heat can come anywhere from 5 month through almost 2 years.
Keep her as far away from males as possible, because unlike humans dogs are receptive during in heat, usually on the 12-14th day of heat, but it can vary very greatly with different females.

She could be in the beginning stages of her heat cycle. It can start as early as 6 months. Just to be safe, I would buy some doggie diapers or put her on some panties with a pad. I just realized you said she is a mastiif, so she may be too big for this. Just continue to monitor her so she doesn't mess your house. Follow this link for more info:

Yes she is old enough to start her heat cycles though monitoring her so she doesn't mess your house would be less than my major concern...My major concern would be that she be bred...Please have her spayed for her health & safety.

i have an 8 month old mastiff that has just started to go in heat...at first they will swell up and there will be a lil bit of blood then after a few days it will get heavier....if your mastiff is younger than 8 months she is probly not in heat..vet says its normal for them to bleed a lil when they are younger but that it doesnt last long at all. went through same with ours...u will definitely know when she goes in full heat ...and depending on her size a quick fix to keep from having mess in house is take a swimsuit bottom that will fit her & cut hole out for her tail & use pads in it...its cheaper than the doggie diapers that dont fit this large breed..if u have any more questions i'd be glad to help

The international commuter tunnel connecting Detroit and Windsor, Canada has been closed as of Thursday afternoon as authorities investigate a bomb threat which was phoned in on the Canadian side of the border according to tunnel executive Neal Belitsky
The tunnel is a busy one, with 4.5 million vehicles using it in 20122. It stretches about a mile underneath the Detroit River which connects downtown Detroit and downtown Windsor.
In service since 1930, the Windsor tunnel is the sister border crossing of The Ambassador Bridge which is located just west of downtown Detroit. That passage remains unaffected.

That is a DP '95.
so should i try to snatch it?
#1 - try not to post live auctions that aren't yours. Becuase now you have created some competetive bidders who will drive the price up. Just advice - I'm not hackin' on ya here.
#2 - Two quick things that give this away.
A) See the white interior through the visor? That's a dead give away for a 95 and the white is actually the more sought after of the 95s.
B) The inset visor - the '96 visor sits flush and the '97 visor is the same with the addition of looking like a bantha stepped all over the bucket.
i'm still debating on wether i'd bid on it or save up for a sgt. fang. so if anyone is seriously looking for a dp95, i've brought it to their attention.
i think there should be a comparison guide for noobs like me that don't know a rubies from a mystery. (ok, i've been here a couple weeks, i'm not that much of a noob at this point, but before haloween i sure didn't know that.)

Comparative analysis of pre-bid forecasting of building prices based on Singapore data
Gunner, John C. & Skitmore, Martin (1999) Comparative analysis of pre-bid forecasting of building prices based on Singapore data. Construction Management and Economics, 17(5), pp. 635-646.
An analysis is described of a sample of pre-bid forecasts for 181 Singapore building contracts awarded between 1980 and 1991 in comparison with previous results in the field. Despite the apparent contradictions that occur between findings, it is shown that such differences could be illusionary due to a general lack of reported significance levels together with, in some cases, small sample sizes. As a result it is suggested that a general commonality in outcomes may exist in the form of a single underlying variable.

This application is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/729,279 filed Oct. 10, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,582.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method and composition for controlling the delivery of nascent oxygen from a hydrogen peroxide source, and particularly relates to peroxide remedies for treating skin disorders or abnormalities.
2. Description of the Related Art
Contacting the skin with nascent oxygen is a treatment regime in common use for various skin disorders. For example, nascent oxygen in contact with the skin reduces live bacteria populations, and consequently such contact alleviates skin disorders resulting from the presence of active bacteria populations. A common method for introducing nascent oxygen to the epidermis or skin is by way of benzoyl peroxide as an oxygen source material. However, the use of benzoyl peroxide as an oxygen source has disadvantages. In particular, benzoyl peroxide is unstable in most solvents. This instability limits opportunities for formulating compositions having optimum performance characteristics.
Insofar as the previous patents relating to the use of peroxide compositions for skin treatment are concerned, U.S. Pat. No. 1,139,774 to Knox discloses a system wherein concentrated hydrogen peroxide treatment of the skin is accomplished by the use of a hydrogen peroxide dispersion in paraffin. The mixture is incorporated within a surgical dressing.
Additionally, U.S. Pat. No. 825,883 to Heinrici discloses a stable solution of hydrogen peroxide. Amide compounds were therein found to stabilize hydrogen peroxide against decomposition.
Further, U.S. Pat. No. 959,605 to Queisser discloses a skin treating composition comprising a carrier and hydrogen peroxide. The carriers are disclosed to be vegetable substances such as tragacanth, agar-agar gum, gum arabic and the like. These materials are said to lower the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition.
Moreover, U.S. Pat. No. 3,954,974 to Herzog et al. discloses a disinfectant for the surface of human skin comprising an oil-in-water emulsion of hydrogen peroxide in the continuous aqueous phase, and a dispersed, oil phase containing suitable hydrophobic organic substances.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,380,764, which issued to Herzog on Jan. 10, 1995, discloses a composition of vitamin A, glucose and hydrogen peroxide for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use. The composition consists essentially of Vitamin A or ester, glucose, and a stable aqueous emulsion of hydrogen peroxide. It does not disclose the use of a carrier-solvent for hydrogen peroxide, or the use of alpha hydroxy acids.
Jacquet, et al., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,826,681 issued on May 2, 1989, discloses an anhydrous solution of hydrogen peroxide in an organic solvent and the use of the same in therapeutic and cosmetic formulations. The solution contains less than 1% water, with hydrogen peroxide concentrations remaining constant during use.
Liebknecht, in U.S. Pat. No. 1,002,854, discloses a method of producing a stable solution of hydrogen peroxide by mixing therewith a compound containing a carboxyl group attached to an aromatic moiety. Examples are salicylic acid, phthalic acid and derivatives thereof. Further, in U.S. Pat. No. 1,058,070, Liebknecht teaches that benzene sulfonic acid and other similar organic acids have a stabilizing effect on hydrogen peroxide.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,393,526, which issued to Castro on Feb. 28, 1995, discloses cosmetic compositions that include alpha hydroxy acids, but does not include hydrogen peroxide.
In published International Patent Application No. W 91/08981 to Aquaclear International, aqueous stabilizing solutions are disclosed for stabilizing hydrogen peroxide comprising citric acid, tartaric acid, a chelating agent and/or a buffer. The chelate inhibits metal ions from catalyzing decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
Clipper et al, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,431,631, disclose a mouth wash composition containing hydrogen peroxide, glycerin and/or sorbitol. A nonionic surfactant is included. Flavorants and colorants present in mouth washes are said to aid in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. However, some selected flavorants and colorants are said to be less active than others in contributing to the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
A skin treating composition is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,438,102 to Ganci, which is comprised of hydrogen peroxide, ammonium hydroxide, thioglycolic acid and a lower molecular weight alkanol. The claims are drawn to a method of promoting skin growth in mammals. Solvents mentioned in the disclosure are ketones, ethers and amines. Nothing is mentioned regarding stabilizing hydrogen peroxide against decomposition.
A hydrogen peroxide composition designed essentially for disinfecting an organic polymer product is disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 4,812,173 to Tsao et al. Primary and secondary stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide are disclosed. Secondary stabilizers may be those from the group of propylene glycol, polyacrylic acid, diethylene glycol and sodium polyphosphate. Such compounds are not indicated to be solvents for hydrogen peroxide.
A composition containing hydrogen peroxide used as a micro-emulsion gel for antiseptic and bleaching purposes is disclosed by Petchul et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,432. The disclosure contains nothing regarding stabilizing hydrogen peroxide and controlling release of oxygen therefrom.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is regarded to describe, suggest or render obvious the instant invention as claimed.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide hydrogen peroxide compositions and methods of use, principally for treating skin infirmities or disorders such as acne, for example. By the use of the compositions and methods described herein, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide at the interface between the hydrogen peroxide treating composition and the skin is controllable, resulting in release rates of oxygen which are not sufficient to produce injurious effects from excessive nascent oxygen evolution, but which are sufficient to provide antiseptic, antibacterial and/or antiviral activity.
Briefly described, a controlled delivery protocol of nascent oxygen from hydrogen peroxide compositions is accomplished through the use of an appropriate mixture of hydrogen peroxide and a carrier therefor, which carrier is a nonvolatile solvent, nonvolatile diluent or nonvolatile dispersant for hydrogen peroxide and is miscible with water in all proportions. The term "nonvolatile" is hereinafter specifically defined.
It is another object of the invention to provide compositions and methods for the controlled application of active therapeutic ingredients for topical skin treatment.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a method of delivering active therapeutic agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, to a skin treatment site in a controlled and effective manner.
It is still another object of the invention to provide compositions for treating skin conditions wherein hydrogen peroxide concentration is controlled during the time the composition is in use.
It is thus an object of the invention to provide improved composition, based on hydrogen peroxide and other active ingredients, and methods of use thereof in methods of dermatological treatments which are inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing the intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and description.
The present invention is directed to improved hydrogen peroxide skin treating compositions and methods.
As stated previously, a common method in use for delivering nascent oxygen or free-radical oxygen to the surface of the skin is to employ benzoyl peroxide as a source agent for peroxide, which consequently produces nascent oxygen.
Benzoyl peroxide decomposes at the skin interface to yield one mole of nascent oxygen and two moles of benzoic acid. Since benzoyl peroxide has a molecular weight of about 242, the compound thus contains about 6.6% nascent oxygen per mole.
Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, having a molecular weight of about 34, provides about 47% nascent oxygen per mole. Thus, about three moles of hydrogen peroxide contains the same amount of nascent oxygen as 21 moles of benzoyl peroxide. Stated another way, a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide would contain about the same amount of nascent, or free-radical, oxygen as a 21% solution of benzoyl peroxide.
Moreover, the ratio between the amount of benzoic acid yielded by benzoyl peroxide and nascent oxygen provided upon decomposition is fixed. However, by using hydrogen peroxide as the source agent for nascent oxygen, combined with a carboxylic acid such as, for example, lactic, glycolic, salicylic or benzoic acid, and the nonvolatile carrier materials described herein, the ratio between the carboxylic acid and nascent oxygen produced is variable and controllable. This allows the formulator to design compositions possessing optimum nascent oxygen release rates for a particular clinical need in question. Thus, it would be more efficient to use hydrogen peroxide, rather than benzoyl peroxide, as a nascent oxygen source if the rate of oxygen delivery to the skin site were controllable.
As pointed out previously, benzoyl peroxide is unstable in most solvents. Therefore, the dermatological formulator is limited is his or her ability to prepare compositions capable of optimum therapeutic performance of this nascent oxygen source material.
However, it has been discovered that if aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide are combined with certain non-volatile materials which have solvent properties with respect to hydrogen peroxide, and/or certain other materials having penetrating and miscibility enhancing properties, and are fully miscible with water, it is possible to prepare stable pharmaceutical hydrogen peroxide compositions. In the present disclosure, the expression "non-volatile solvent" refers to a material capable of dissolving hydrogen peroxide and having a vapor pressure at 25° C. of 4 mm Hg or below. As examples of materials falling within the scope of those the inventor has found to be effective nonvolatile solvents or dispersants are alcohol compositions, dimethyl isosorbide, lower molecular weight alkyl or alkylene polyols, such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol and glycerol. Further, higher molecular weight alkylene glycols may also be used, such as polyethylene glycol. Additionally, ether derivatives of lower m.w. alkylene glycols may be used. For example, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is suitable. Also included are polyethylene oxide adducts of polyols. The materials used must be miscible with water in all proportions and possess the vapor pressure property described.
In general, materials useful in formulating stable mixtures of hydrogen peroxide are those having solubilizing properties with respect to hydrogen peroxide, and further those which possess a vapor pressure at 25° C. which is equal to or below 4 mm of mercury, and are miscible with water in all proportions. Additionally, the carrier material must not itself contribute to injurious skin effects.
In general, with respect to skin treating compositions, the concentration of the soluble nonvolatile, active ingredients in such compositions, when they contain a volatile solvent such as water as a carrier for the active material, will vary in an uncontrolled manner when applied to the skin. Through experimentation, it has been determined that a variety of conditions may affect the concentration of the active ingredient as the time duration of the disposition of the treating agent upon the skin increases. For example, under conditions of occlusion, wherein the treating composition is contained within a relatively closed environment, such as within a non-porous bandage, the original concentration of active therapeutic agent may decrease as a result of transepidermal fluids becoming admixed therewith. Moreover, in the opposite fashion, under unprotected application conditions, the volatile solvent may evaporate, allowing the original concentration of active agent to increase to as much as 100%.
Further, in compositions where the carrier for the active ingredient comprises a mixture of volatile solvents, the different respective evaporation rates of such solvent-carriers may result in an alteration of the carrier composition containing the active agent, which can ultimately result in an increase in the concentration of the active ingredient. The aforesaid scenario may occur if the active ingredient is poorly soluble in the carrier component having a lower volatility. As the carrier component having a higher volatility evaporates, the concentration of the active ingredient may increase to its saturation point and remain at that level, and any excess of the active ingredient will precipitate as a highly concentrated active material.
To be sure, by altering the ratio of volatile carrier solvent mixtures, and by altering the composition thereof also, the concentrations of one or more active ingredients carried within such systems may be designed to have widely varying therapeutic properties. Nevertheless, the presence in and on the skin of salts, acidic or basic materials and the occurrence of other conditions will affect the concentration profile of the active ingredient in contact with the skin. It is pointed out that the concentration of an active, therapeutic ingredient, particularly an active ingredient which is highly effective at lower concentrations, but which is deleterious to the skin at higher concentrations, may have profound effects upon pharmacological activity, absorption properties and skin irritation potential.
It has been discovered that if a carrier material for hydrogen peroxide skin treating compositions is selected from a group of materials which have solvent properties for hydrogen peroxide, have a sufficiently low volatility and are miscible with water in all proportions, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide at the skin surface may be controlled, allowing the formulator to produce skin treating compositions wherein the maximum safe concentration of hydrogen peroxide may be established for almost any required clinical treatment.
Formulating hydrogen peroxide compositions in the manner described herein allows the reactivity of hydrogen peroxide at the delivery site to be reliably determined, and the advantages to having such control of nascent oxygen delivery are the elimination of the deleterious effects of higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Thus, once all of the compounds present at the skin surface which are capable of reacting with hydrogen peroxide at a given level of concentration have reacted therewith, the residual, remaining hydrogen peroxide in the treating composition is stable at the skin interface for an extended time duration. However, without the use of the carrier materials specified herein with hydrogen peroxide, either the compound is available for continuous reaction until it is fully consumed, or the concentration increases to injurious levels.
The concentration of hydrogen peroxide in skin treating compositions can be controlled if a carrier is selected for hydrogen peroxide which is (1) non-volatile, is (2) a solvent for hydrogen peroxide and is (3) fully miscible with water. For example, through experimental observations it has been determined that if a 6% solution of hydrogen peroxide in water were applied to the skin on a bandage, after several hours of such contact the skin tissue becomes damaged and cellular degradation occurs as the water evaporates and hydrogen peroxide becomes concentrated. However, if a 6% solution of hydrogen peroxide in water were mixed with a carrier such as dimethyl isosorbide, hydrogen peroxide concentration does not increase beyond a predictable upper level.
For example, in a skin treating composition comprising 20% of a 30% aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide, 20% by wt. of dimethyl isosorbide and 60% water, there is 74% volatile solvent present in the form of water. Fourteen percent of the water comes from the initial hydrogen peroxide solution used, and 60% comes from additional added water. When this solvent evaporates the remaining composition is comprised of about 6 parts of hydrogen peroxide in 26 parts of total treating composition, resulting in a stable composition having about 23% hydrogen peroxide available for activity.
This scenario allows for the manufacture of skin treating compositions possessing a relatively high concentration of hydrogen peroxide at the treatment site, and the peroxide is maintained in solution. As a result of achieving relative stability in solution, it is thus prevented from injuring dermal tissue.
The aforesaid concept of combining a bio-active ingredient and nonvolatile carrier-solvent is applicable to skin bio-affecting agents or therapeutics other than hydrogen peroxide which, when present at the skin surface in greater concentrations may have deleterious or unwanted effects, but which when present in lesser concentrations have beneficial or desired effects. Some active skin treating agents falling within the above category are phenols, alkanolamines such as triethanolamine, and monoethanolamine, inorganic alkaline agents, acidic materials, urea, salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acids.
The following examples illustrate how non-volatile carrier materials which are solvents for hydrogen peroxide may be combined with hydrogen peroxide to produce compositions containing controlled amounts of the peroxide component upon evaporation of the aqueous solvent.
Reference is made to the following Examples and Table. The initial concentration in the first column below refers to an aqueous/hydrogen peroxide composition. A standard 35% by weight hydrogen peroxide solution was diluted with water to arrive at aqueous hydrogen peroxide solutions containing, after dilution, various amounts of hydrogen peroxide, from 1 to 6 wt. percent. As shown in the table below, various aqueous compositions can be made, varying from initial hydrogen peroxide concentrations of from 1 to 6% by weight, and non-volatile carrier concentrations from 10 to 30% by weight. Once the water portion of the composition evaporates, all that is left is hydrogen peroxide in non-volatile solvent. Through manipulation of initial concentrations, the final concentration of hydrogen peroxide in non-volatile solvent can be controlled, as shown in the table. For example, the first sample was initially a 3% hydrogen peroxide, 10% non-volatile carrier aqueous solution. Upon evaporation of water, the solution becomes a maximum 3/13 or 23% solution of hydrogen peroxide in non-volatile solvent. Although the examples below used propylene glycol as the non-volatile solvent, results are equally valid for other carrier-solvent materials having the properties defined herein.
The following are examples of specific skin medication compositions that have been prepared and have been shown to be particularly efficacious:
______________________________________ACNE SKIN TREATMENT DRY SKIN TREATMENTCOMPOSITION COMPOSITION WT.INGREDIENTS PERCENT INGREDIENTS WT. PERCENT______________________________________Hydrogen 10 Hydrogen 10peroxide (35%) peroxide (35%)Salicylic acid 1.0 Lactic acid 2.0Propylene glycol 10 Propylene glycol 10Cetyl alcohol 1.6 Cetyl alcohol 2.0Distilled water 74 Distilled water Q.S.Sodium hydroxide 0.3 Vitamin E 0.5(q.s. pH 4.6) AcetatePromulgen G 1.8 Promulgen G 2.0Simethicone 0.06 Simethicone 0.1Sodium lauryl 0.3 Sodium lauryl 0.3sulfate sulfate Sodium Q.S. hydroxide pH 4.5______________________________________
The above compositions may be prepared by mixing water soluble materials into the appropriate amount of water as a preliminary step, and then mixing other materials until a creamy consistency is achieved. However, one having ordinary skill in the chemical or pharmaceutical arts is capable of arriving at the most efficient manner of making the compositions herein disclosed. Further, other alpha hydroxy carboxylic acids, such as glycolic acid, or malic acid, may be substituted for salicylic acid and lactic acid in the two compositions.
Additionally, alkylene glycols, such as diethlylene glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol, also may be used, in concentrations of 8 to 20 percent by weight, as effective non-volatile carriers of hydrogen peroxide. These glycols are effective carriers of hydrogen peroxide at 3 to 23 percent. Alpha hydroxy acids, such as salicylic acid and lactic acid in concentrations from 0.5 to 2 percent by weight have also been used. All samples have been stable over time and have not irritated the skin in tested subjects.
The examples given above are preferred compositions. One having ordinary skill in the art is assumed to realize that the relative proportions may be altered from those shown in the above examples in order to arrive at compositions having substantially equivalent functional results.

Promulgen G is a trade name for a gelling agent comprising stearyl alcohol and Ceteareth-20, made by Amerchol Corp. Germaben II is a trade name for a broad spectrum antimicrobial composition including propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methyl paraben and propyl paraben made by Sutton Labs.
A clinical study was performed to ascertain the effectiveness of compositions falling within the scope of the invention as compared to those not within the scope of the invention. The results are as follows:
Ten subjects were enrolled in a study to evaluate the efficacy of a skin medication composition in which hydrogen peroxide is present in the composition in solution in a carrier-solvent for the treatment of Acne Vulgaris. The carrier has a vapor pressure of equal to or below 4 mm of Hg at 25°, and is thus substantially nonvolatile. The composition of the Acne treating composition was made in accordance with the present invention, and includes 10% hydrogen peroxide, 1% salicylic acid, and 10% propylene glycol by weight.
The trial subjects applied the above composition to acne papules and pustules twice each day for eight weeks. The subjects were not allowed to use any other topical medication or oral medication during the length of the trial period. The trial subjects were evaluated for the number of acne papules and pustules at three evaluation time periods, a baseline period, at four weeks and at eight weeks. A count of acne papules and pustules was made at each evaluation time period and the mean was reported. Comedones were not counted.
______________________________________RESULTS: MEAN COUNTS FOR ALL SUBJECTSBASELINE WEEK 4 WEEK 8______________________________________18.2 8.5 4% improvement 53% 78%______________________________________
Adverse Events
No adverse events. The subjects reported and evinced no indication nor manifestation of burning, stinging or redness during the course of the trial period.
General Observations
It is the opinion of the administrator of this study, who is also the inventor of the present invention, that the above product, is a viable and useful product, and that it appears to be as effective as compositions containing benzoyl peroxide as an oxygen provider. Such benzoyl peroxide compositions, with the exception of a product known as Brevoxyl, are known to produce skin coloration and scaling. The present composition does not possess such effects.
Five subjects were enrolled in a study to evaluate the efficacy of a skin medication composition in which hydrogen peroxide is present in the composition in solution in a carrier-solvent for the treatment of dry skin. The carrier has a vapor pressure of equal to or below 4 mm of Hg at 25°, and is thus substantially nonvolatile. Increasing the oxygen tension on the skin should result in improved healing of dry, scaly, and irritated skin. The composition of the dry skin treating composition was made in accordance with the present invention, and includes 10% hydrogen peroxide, 3% Lactic acid, and 10% propylene glycol by weight.
The trial subjects applied the above composition to dry skin twice a day, once after a morning shower and once in the evening before bed. No other topical lubricants were used by the test subjects. Subjects were allowed to use the product if itching occurred during the day. The study lasted two weeks with marked reduction in scaling and itchiness. After the first week of use, itching was reduced by greater than 50% and dryness reduced more tan 70%. After the second week, the subjects found that itching had been reduced more than 85% and dryness reduced by 95%.
Adverse Events
No adverse events. The subjects reported and evinced no indication nor manifestation of burning, stinging or redness during the course of the trial period.
General Observations
It is the opinion of the administrator of this study, who is also the inventor of the present invention, that the above product, is a viable and useful product, and that it appears to be as effective as other compositions previously used. The was evidence of quick healing of scratch wounds without any indication of infection by the end of the study.
Compositions identified using trade names in the examples herein have formulations as follows:
SIMETHICONE--A mixture of dimethicone having dimethyl siloxane units averaging 200 to 350 and hydrated silica.
PROMULGEN G--Stearyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol 1000 cetyl/stearyl ether.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments defined within the scope of the following claims.

Hi guys..don't know if you know but flashden has a cool page full of files on softpedia.com This is the link to the page : http://webscripts.softpedia.com/developer/flashden-1869773172.html .. now, are these files put there by flashden team or there is somebody else putting them there?
I'm a little confused, as there is no referral link on any of the files there, so i am guessing flashden is putting scripts on softpedia..
Does anyone know anyhing about this?

PAX East 2012 has come and gone, and we had a blast! For those who couldn't make it out to Boston for the festivities, we'd like to share the experience with you.
We kicked off the east coast's largest gaming convention by making sure everyone dressed in style – in BioShock Infinite top hats to be precise.
The stylish 1912 fashion accessory was the all the rage with PAX East attendees, and why wouldn't they be? Not only do they match any outfit, wearing one was the only way to be spotted by our recruiters and to receive an invitation to our photo studio thus getting a chance to have your face in BioShock Infinite. Here are some of those lucky enough to get the coveted invitation:
All of our contenders can be found on our Official facebook page!
On Saturday, we held our panel: Making a Monster, where Ken Levine, Shawn Robertson, Nate Wells and Pat Balthrop went through the signature bad guys of BioShock Infinite that we've been showcasing in our Heavy Hitters series here on IrrationalGames.com. The house was more than packed – sorry for those who waited in line and didn't get a seat. Those who lined up early and did, however, received a BioShock Infinite poster. Five lucky fans found hidden red envelopes under their seats, which we exchanged for limited edition 15-year anniversary lithographs signed by Ken Levine. Everyone was a winner though, because at the end of the panel, we celebrated our 15-year anniversary with cupcakes!
Later that evening we had our fan event and cosplay meetup at M.J. O'Connor's Irish Pub where we got to mingle with some of our most active fans. It was a fun-filled night with food and drink, board games, raffles, gifts bags, and a cosplay competition where two winners walked away with a PlayStation Vita 3G bundle and a Murder of Crows Vigor bottle!
G4TV's X-Play was also there to capture all the fun for a segment that will be airing on tonight's episode.
*UPDATE* You can check out the episode here.
We want to thank everyone who made it out to our event and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Be sure to visit our Flickr page to check out more photos!

Pirates Agree to Terms With All of Their Pre-Arbitration Players
Top Stories
The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to terms with all 24 of their pre-arbitration players on the 40-man roster, plus Chase d'Arnaud, who agreed to terms prior to being designated for assignment. This is kind of non-news, since the process of "agreeing to terms" with these players involves the Pirates saying "this is what we're going to pay you this year". No terms have been announced, and terms don't usually come out until Opening Day, when USA Today released their team payrolls.
Here is the list of players who have agreed to terms.
Cole, Gerrit

While celebrities tend to have a reputation for entitlement and self-importance, Amy Adams is bucking the trend with an act of consideration for her fellow man.
While boarding a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles, the "American Hustle" hottie noticed an American serviceman sitting in coach and decided to give him her first class seat.
It's one of the biggest events of the year for the fashion industry and earlier tonight (May 5) Amy Adams strolled up to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the 2014 Met Gala.
Clad in a gorgeous shimmery getup, the "American Hustle" star was hard to miss with her beautiful smile and picture perfect poses as she mingled with fellow attendees.
Celebrating the most influential people in the world, a host of stars showed up at the TIME 100 Gala in New York City last night (April 29).
"American Hustle" hottie Amy Adams arrived at Jazz at Lincoln Center with her handsome beau Darren Le Gallo and attracted plenty of attention in a figure-hugging low-cut black getup.
Stepping out for a good cause, Amy Adams brought her fiancé Darren Le Gallo to the 11th Annual John Varvatos Stuart House Benefit in Los Angeles on Sunday (April 13).
Punctuating the spread with her crimson coif and bright red blouse, the "Julie and Julia" dame smiled as she posed with designer John Varvatos and Joyce Varvatos while her actor beau looked on.
Letting loose for the St. Patrick's Day weekend, Amy Adams hit the pool in Las Vegas on Friday afternoon (March 14).
The "American Hustle" Golden Globe winner was joined by a gal pal as she lounged in a seafoam green bikini at Wed Republic Day Club at the MGM Grand Resort and Casino.
Stepping out for a few errands, Amy Adams showed up at a West Hollywood tailor's shop to get a dress altered on Wednesday afternoon (March 12).
The "American Hustle" Golden Globe-winning actress shielded her eyes from the bright sunshine with a pair of designer shades as she hauled a huge Gucci shopping bag inside.
In preparation for the Blu-ray release of David O. Russell's smash hit, "American Hustle," a deleted scene hit the web preceding the big day on March 18th.
Once all of the trophies were handed out and all of the speeches were given, the ladies of the 86th Academy Awards retreated to the Sunset Plaza for Graydon Carter's Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Watch: 60m Hurdles | 400m Dash | 500m Dash | 60m Dash | 800m Dash | Princeton weight thrower Conor McCullough | Princeton head coach Fred Samara
ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Princeton men's track and
field team won its third-straight Ivy League Heptagonal Indoor
Track & Field Championships title for the third time in program
history, accumulating 184 points to hold off Cornell's 176
The Tigers' eight-point victory is the closest since 2007, when they defeated Cornell by three (154-151). Columbia (70), Harvard (59), Brown (43), Dartmouth (23), Penn (18) and Yale (16) rounded out the rest of the standings.
The last time the Tigers won three in a row for the first time since they won five in a row between 1998-2002.
Tigers sophomore Conor McCullough was named Most Outstanding Performer after breaking a weight throw record that had stood for 33 years. His throw of 75-3 ¼ broke the mark previously set by Ed Kania of Dartmouth in 1979 (70-5).
Princeton took home seven titles while Cornell earned four. The Tigers dominated the distance running events, winning the 400m, 500m, 800m, 1,000m and 5,000m. Senior Donn Cabral won his second-straight 5,000m title to become Princeton's first-ever back-to-back winner in that event and the first of any school since Cornell's Zachary Hine (2008-2009). He was joined on the stand by sophomores Chris Bendsten and Jonathan Vitez, who placed second and fourth, respectively.
Junior Russell Dinkins won his second 500m title and his first since 2010. Dinkins' victory gives the Tigers six-straight wins in the event and nine of the past 10. Junior Peter Callahan placed first in the 800m for the second time in three years with a time of 1:49.72, the third-fastest mark in meet history. Senior Trevor Van Ackeren won the 1,000m race, crossing the line in 2:26.08.
Cornell went 1-2-3 in the heptathlon, led by senior Nick Huber's score of 5,446. Fellow classmates Vince Formica and Josh Cusick were not far behind with 5,167 and 5,011 points, respectively. Huber's total is the second-most in meet history and the highest since 2004, when Dartmouth's Mustafa Abdur-Rahim set the record of 5,645. Senior Dan Hagberg won his second-straight 60m hurdles title with a time of 7.98, which tied the fourth-fastest mark in meet history.

Strings at UW-Whitewater
There are many outstanding opportunities for string players at UW-Whitewater. In addition to the University Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra our campus also hosts string quartets, an early music ensemble, and alternative style quartets/ensembles. Music Education students may recieve credit for assisting with our many string events and teaching at the String Academy (providing not only hands-on teaching experience, but also extra income).
Musicians at UW-Whitewater receive a first-rate education from a department that was recently nominated for the statewide Regents Escellence Award, a rare and prestigious honor. Students are taught by our faculty of outstanding musicians, and our preformance and rehearsal facilities play host to many string-related activities through the academic year.
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater does not offer graduate degrees in music, making it an ideal department to focus on undergraduate study. Undergrads will not compete for positions in our orchestras and ensembles with graduate students who have much more experience, and will not directly under members of the string faculty instead of graduate teaching assistants.
