Ron,

I did a quick search via OT search and came up with some hits for wound
care but full text isn't available onine.

Perhaps Medline?   Other list members would probably know more about
doing this kind of research.

Great information, thanks Chuck.

One  quick  question,  when  you  say  to  "search  abstracts",  are you
referring to an on-line source?

Ron

Subj: [OTlist] Vaseline

CW> Ron,

CW> I'm not a medical professional...but the inventor of Vaseline was
the
CW> first person to use it for wound care.  Saw it on the history
channel
CW> the other night.   Here's the Wikipedia entry:

CW> "Before Chesebrough could try to sell it, he had to test it to see
if
CW> it really worked on cuts and burns by using himself as the guinea
pig.
CW> Having demonstrated the products efficacy on himself, Chesebrough
was
CW> unable to sell any to drug stores until he travelled around New York
CW> State demonstrating his miracle vaseline. Before a rapt audience
he'd
CW> burn his skin with acid or an open flame, then spread the clear
jelly on
CW> his injuries, showing at the same time his past injuries, healed, he
CW> claimed, by his miracle product. To further create demand, he gave
out
CW> free samples."

CW> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaseline 

CW> For better references you could search abstracts for "wound care"
and
CW> "vaseline."  I bet you'll come up with some hits.

CW> Has  anyone ever heard of using Vaseline for wound care. I have a
CW> friend
CW> that  is  about 4 weeks post skin cancer removal. She has one very
CW> small
CW> area  that  has not healed. Her dermatologist told her today to fill
CW> the
CW> area with Vaseline! Has anyone heard of this type of thing?

CW> Thanks,

CW> Ron
