Clinical Development

Initial testing of the Extreme was at Bastyr Natural Health Sciences University, Seattle, WA . Note was taken of the initial feel of the application and its effect over time. The original test samples were tested in an emergency facial trauma with encouraging results. Modifications were made to the formulation. Further testing was done on selected subjects with psoriasis, lichen planus, eczema and herpes in the general population and in our holistic dermatology clinic in Vancouver. Once the results were consistent the formulation was launched into the Naturopathic professional market where it has been used by patients at clinics across Canada.
