Experts Rave About Zanfel
I
am Dr. Eric Reinertson from Pekin, IL. I am a board certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist,
and I was introduced to Zanfel by the company president in July of 1998. My
wife and I had horrible contact with a mixture of poison ivy and poison oak
while landscaping around our home. My wife was clearly miserable and did not
sleep for days--even at the expense of using several over the counter "remedies".
These products simply did not do their job, and she was prescribed high dose
steroids by her Dr. The steroids did not provide her any relief either. We then
were introduced to Zanfel and with the proper application, her symptoms of pain
and itching were relieved within seconds and the lesions dried within 24 hours.
From a personal and professional point of view, Zanfel is the only product worthy
of use for Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac. The best part is that it
can be used safely on anybody, including
children, and even on the face! Zanfel receives my endorsment over the current
available therapies, including prescription therapies.

Thank you for such a terrific product!
When my husband and I moved to our retirement
property in Missouri, we knew that there was poison ivy, but we did not know
just how sensitive we were to it.
In the late fall my husband was clearing
some brush and was subsequently exposed to it even though there were no leaves
still on the vine. After the first few days of Benadryl cream, hydrocortisone
cream and no relief to speak of, the rash had spread from arms to legs to
torso and was not getting better at all. The next step was to the doctor for
systemic steroids and stronger anti-histamines.
We did an on-line search for help and
found Zanfel!! Thank goodness. We ordered and had overnight delivery made
as he was now into the second full week of fighting the rash, blisters, itching
and agony of not being able to sleep for the itching. He tried it as soon
as it arrived and started feeling less itching, and the rash started to resolve
within a couple of days. After a few days, it was gone!
As a pharmacist, I was rather
skeptical to begin with because it is hard to believe all of the claims
that it made. Well, I am now a believer. Since the initial problem, my husband
has been exposed more times than he would like to admit, and every time he
has used Zanfel right away, and there have been NO MORE episodes of rash,
blisters and itching. We have a cat that goes outside, and as cats will do,
runs through the brush and weeds and the poison ivy and brings in the urushiol
oil on his coat. This has been transferred to our skin also and the Zanfel
has prevented any further outbreaks from this source.
Thanks for creating and marketing such
a terrific product. I pass along the information on the product to everyone
that I can.
Sincerely,

Hello, my name is Dr. Don Reneau. I have had a long time dream to
live in Oregon. About 2 years ago I moved here with great expectations about
the beautiful countryside and the weather. Shortly after moving here I was
introduced to "Poison Oak". Now, I am not allergic to anything else, but poison
oak eats me alive. I bubble up and go through weeks of agony with only the
slightest exposure. I had found paradise and hell at the same time. My plans
were changing. I was ready to give up my practice here, lose my earnest money
on my 93 acres and move out as quickly as possible. I decided to read on the
net as much as I could about Poison Oak. I came across the Zanfel home page
and my life has changed back to normal. I still get the poison oak like I
always did, I still welt up and wish I didn't get it, but now it is not controlling
my life. I use the Zanfel and I get instant relief. Sometimes I have to use
it a couple of times, but it always works. I got better results some times
than others but now after reading the directions closely I always get good
results. This stuff is great. I bought about 15 tubes and have given or sold
them to everyone I find that has poison oak. Their results have been the same
and now they think that I can walk on water!! I feel that I can recommend
Zanfel, without reservation to everyone who suffers from poison oak or poison
ivy. Please feel free to call me if you want to.

Worth flying for! In all my 35 years
of retail experience I've never had a product that customers would actually
fly an airplane to me in order to get. I received a long distance call this
week from a guy who had poison ivy and had heard about Zanfel from someone
else. No Pharmacy in his town carried Zanfel. Through the Zanfel web site,
he discovered that I stocked it. He called me and said he would fly in to
pick it up, if we would meet him at the local airport. Upon delivering the
Zanfel to the airport, my clerk said he had a terrible case of poison ivy
all over his body. Two days later he called again, amazed at the results and
said that he wanted to fly down again that afternoon to pick up more Zanfel.
Now that is the kind of demand I like to see in my stores.

My experience with Zanfel
was a very good one. I was 6 months pregnant and got poison ivy and I was
covered with it. My eyes were swollen shut from it being on my face. Being
a doctor of chiropractic and being pregnant, I wanted something that was natural.
I did not and could not use any kind of steroids and was very limited in what
I could use. Zanfel gave me immediate relief from itching and I knew
it was safe for me and my baby.

Sorry
it took so long to write, I've been very busy with a new office! I ordered
the zanfel for my son after trying Benadryl and Cortisone unsuccessfully to
clear up his poison ivy. It immediately cleared up the itching, swelling
and rash on his face. Lucky for us that we had the Zanfel later, because
he had spread the poison ivy to his legs. We used the Zanfel on his legs and
it cleared up immediately. This is truly a wonderful product.
Thanks,

What a wonderful product!!! I have long been troubled by terrible allergy to
poison ivy, a definite problem since I am an avid gardener. Over the years,
I have used the usual topical applications (Calamine lotion, hydrocortisone
cream) with no relief from the itching. As a registered nurse, I have been aware
of the traditional protocols for therapy, but even with prednisone injectable
and tablet form, antihistamines, and prophylactic antibiotics to prevent the
severe lesions from becoming infected, the relief from the itching did not happen
for several days. This last episode of poison ivy covered over 50% of my body,
including my face, trunk, arms and upper legs. A nurse friend of mine and a
physician at the hospital where I work, recommended I try ZANFEL. With their
help I contacted the 800 number and was able to get the product the same day.
I followed the directions and applied it to the affected areas and had INSTANT
relief from the itching. I had a great night's sleep. I repeated the application
the following day, not because the areas were itching, but because it seemed
to be reducing the skin lesions significantly. Thank you for a product that
has made such a change in my life.

Hello!
I am allergic to poison oak to such a degree that I don't have to touch it
to react to it. I break out in a blistery rash and, when the blisters break,
the rash weeps for seven to ten days. Usually, I just use calamine and hydrocortisone
creams to keep the itch down and dry up the ooze. I've never gone to the doctor
with poison oak because it's never been in my eyes or my blood system. I do,
however, SUFFER because when the blisters break, the rash spreads to wherever
the fluid touches. I've had outbreaks that last, in one place or another,
for three months. Until now, I would just endure the itching and thank God
I didn't have any worse problems than poison oak allergy.
My boyfriend recently removed brush
and brambles from beneath some trees in the back of my yard. Unbeknownst to
me, there was poison oak in the brush. Well, of course the blisters came up
and then started to weep. I had a small patch on my right arm and on both
lower legs. After the patch on my arm had been weeping for four days, my boyfriend
said he was going to find me something to get rid of it. He got on the net
and found Zanfel. Now, I'm a nurse and have a tendency to be skeptical of
lots of things that don't have lots and lots of proof behind them, so I was
willing to try it, but wasn't very optimistic.
I received the Zanfel the
day after I ordered it. I got in the shower and started scrubbing. At this
point, the rash on my arm was still weeping, but the blisters on my legs hadn't
broken yet. The instructions say to scrub and re-scrub until there is no more
itching. I scrubbed my arm twice, my right leg twice and my left leg four
times. When I got out of the shower, I didn't itch anywhere. Also,
I had been putting dressings on my arm and having to change them every two
hours because of the amount of drainage. MY ARM WAS DRY. It no longer needed
dressings and immediately (within two hours) started to scab up and heal.
The blisters on my legs never did weep and the rash cleared up almost completely
within two days.
I am a convert. I've been telling people
at work about Zanfel and will be delivering a jar of it to the Emergency
Room soon!

As
a homeowner in the country, a dog owner and a veterinarian, I have experienced
poison ivy induced rashes every year for the last 17 years. I would pick it
up from my patients, and my own pets as well as encounters on my own while
landscaping our 4+ acre yard. I have used most every over the counter product
there is as well as oral steroids to help alleviate the intense itch. Nothing
seemed to work. Washing thoroughly post exposure certainly helped minimize
lesions but never seemed to eliminate them. I learned of Zanfel on the internet
and decided to give it a try .The product arrived a day earlier than expected
and I immediately followed the instructions to treat a particularly nasty
poison ivy rash on my forearm. After the treatment my arm was itch free!
The next day the swelling, redness and vesicles were reduced by at least 50
%. The second day after that one treatment, the lesions continued to be itch
free and were a fourth of what they were pre treatment. The rash is remaining
itch free and decreasing each day. I am very pleased with the performance
of Zanfel over anything I have tried in the past.

To a great Illinois company:
Thanks,
Zanfel, for coming to my rescue. There I was with poison ivy everywhere, especially
on my face. The itching was driving me crazy and we had a family wedding just
two weeks away! I went right to the Internet and searched under "poison ivy
CURE." I didn't want to settle for anything less than a cure, and I didn't
have to. Your product arrived at our house twenty-six hours after I placed
the order. Knowing how anxious I was to start the treatment, my husband made
a special trip to the school where I teach to deliver the Zanfel.
And as soon as I finished my first
treatment, there was blessed relief. The itching was gone, and the healing
began. Now, three days later, the lesions have dried up, the rash is receding,
and I'll look fine for that wedding. This is unbelievable because it usually
takes three weeks or more of oozing and itching and medication to get me on
the road to recovery.
Poison ivy is frequently a part of our family's
life. Roger and I do prairie and woodland restoration work, and even the best
precautions fail sometimes. The two of us also sponsor the Nature Garden Club
where I teach, and our school property has many areas where poison ivy thrives.
I can't wait to pass along the good news
of your product to our outdoorsy friends, and to our students and their families.
They might be as skeptical as I was upon hearing that poison ivy relief can
occur so quickly. But once I let them use some of my Zanfel, I'm convinced
they will be logging on and ordering their own supply.
Gratefully,

Thanks
for the Zanfel. I am already talking it up. I have discussed it with many
of my friends all over the country. I have a friend in Georgia that is already
very interested! So here is my unsolicited endorsement, for you to use however
you may choose:
I am excited about Zanfel, on a couple of levels - as a professional RN, I
am thrilled to finally have a product that CURES poison ivy, oak, and sumac
- not some messy cream that I just slather on and hope it helps the symptoms.
As a mother, I am excited because I know my active, outdoors-loving kids won't
have to suffer anymore when they wander into the poison ivy patch. My 13yr
old got poison ivy on his wrist from a watch that had the oil on it from a
previous trip into the ivy - after one Zanfel application, the affected
area was COMPLETELY healed! Zanfel is fast and effective - it is truly
the CURE to these poisonous plants!

Dear Zanfel Laboratories:
I am writing to thank you for the much
appreciated innovation. I have suffered a variety of exposures to poison ivy,
ranging from small, isolated exposures to a systemic infection. Being a research
chemist, I have tried most commercially available, over-the-counter remedies
and even some of my own concoctions. Nothing has worked. Such treatments result
in only temporary relief of the itching and weeping of the rash, which for
me, persists from one week to a month.
While suffering from my latest bout with
poison ivy, I turned to the internet in search of a better treatment or cure.
When I came across Zanfel I was very skeptical of the lab's claims, so I contacted
the author of a testimonial who had praised Zanfel's effectiveness as well
as the laboratory's president to confirm their claims. The cost of Zanfel
is significant, and I wanted to be sure that I would be getting my money's
worth. I was convinced enough to give it a try.
Five days had passed since my exposure
to the poison ivy before I received the Zanfel ointment. I had several isolated
rashes that had developed blisters and weeping sores to which I applied the
ointment as instructed. I purposely left one area untreated and applied my
favorite over-the-counter remedy for comparison. Within minutes of applying
Zanfel the itching was gone, and after an hour the redness and weeping of
the sores had been significantly reduced. By comparison, there was no improvement
in the area treated with the over-the-counter remedy. After only one day,
the redness of the Zanfel-treated rash was barely noticeable and the open
sores had scabbed over. The rash treated with the over-the-counter remedy
showed little improvement, and I couldn't take it any longer. I broke out
my Zanfel, and the itching and weeping were gone the next day.
Zanfel works, period. It is the
only treatment for me that has delivered on every one of its claims.

Zanfel staff,
I just wanted to write and thank you
for getting the order here promptly. My wife has had systemic poison ivy for
over 2 weeks. After a round of prednisone and a cortisone shot, I felt that
there had to be another course of action. I jumped on the web on Saturday
7-8-2000 at 5:30 AM and placed my order. To my surprise, I received the order
at 8:30 AM Sunday morning 7-9-2000 via USPS. My wife tore into the package
and immediately started scrubbing with Zanfel. She said it relieved the itching
immediately. She applied the Zanfel again about 3 hours later and is still
sleeping. Thank you for the quick service! My wife can finally rest without
waking every 5 minutes to scratch. I recommend your product without hesitation.
Thanks again,
