IGY Life Sciences has recently developed a patented process to curing acne effectively and safely. The process involves extracting immunoglobulin antibodies from immunized chicken egg and then returning the egg to a food source. The antibodies found on the immunized egg are used to kill bacteria residing on the skin. The antibody is aimed to be injected in skin care applications to cure acne.

This process has been accepted and verified by international scientific bodies and is considered as a safe alternative. Surprisingly, it has been used in various human and veterinary medicine fields for treating bacterial infections.
The process starts when the hen is given a dose of government approved vaccine. This creates the necessary antibodies in the eggs as the hen builds up extra antibodies in response to the vaccine. The antibodies are then passed to the eggs and are finally extracted for use in skin care formulations.

Typical acne treatments kill both the good and the bad bacteria on skin, thus leaving the skin more vulnerable and weak to fight off on coming infections. These treatments also leave the skin dry and dull along with being incapable of fighting future acne outbreaks, which gets more severe as even the body’s own infection fighting bacteria is eradicated. IGY Life Sciences’s breakthrough process will specifically remove only those bacterial infections that create acne, thus leaving the rest unharmed.

The ImmunoDerm  Y is meant to target a chosen bacteria and control as well as prevent acne outbursts of all types. This treatment is a much better alternative than the rest as it is target oriented and does not cause severe side effects.
There have been clinical trials to verify the effectiveness of this anti-body. There are a number of patents on the process and that can be applied for testing on any bacteria. This process will not only treat acne, but any other skin disease that are caused by bacteria or viral infections.

IGY Technologies is also claiming to treat plantar wart (Verruca Plantaris) which is a wart formed by human papillomavirus. The antibody will isolate the viral strain and identify it. A vaccine would be used (again from extraction of egg yolk) to attack the wart and eradicate it.

The one minor problem of this process is that of low concentration bodies mixing with residual egg fat, which slightly hampers the process. More studies and trials are on way to find an optimal solution to this and very soon this new technology will bring in a higher concentration of the needed antibody.

Importance of Healthy Food for Healthy Skin

by Robin on October 28, 2011

Throughout our lives, we all struggle to have flawless, beautiful skin that glows and gives radiance. Many of us resort to the use of creams and facial products that give results; albeit temporary results, while the rest of us resort to the use of medications and surgical treatments. The conclusion: None of these are healthy for your skin neither for your body. They are all harsh components that strips you off the natural glow, natural oils that is essential for skin rejuvenation. Even the excessive makeup that we use often results in clogged pores that lead to the outburst of acne. So what it is that can give us beautiful skin? It’s FOOD.

The Importance of Good Food
Have you ever wondered how people centuries ago managed to look beautiful despite having no access to pharmaceutical products? They were people who lived on fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and spent their time in working hard enough to sweat. We aren’t doing any of it. We are people who sit in air conditioned rooms all day, without enough exercise. Add to that the excessive intake of junk food, oily food and fast food that are not only calorific, but not in the least way healthy for a person. If you really want to have great skin by the time you turn 30 or 40, don’t wait for any product miracle. Start eating good, eating right today and you will surely have beautiful healthy skin.

Foods Good For You
1). Water
Technically not food, but one of the main items to give your skin a beautiful look. People do not consume enough water, which is why the skin becomes dry and patched. However, excessive consumption of water could lead to water fat in the body. The ideal amount of water intake is 8 glasses a day. Water helps keep your skin healthy and rejuvenates it greatly.

2). Green Tea
Green Tea is another component that is essential for good skin. It helps you sweat, it removes toxins from the body and its polyphenol property has anti-inflammatory characteristics which in simpler terms is a great anti-oxidant that keeps bacteria off your skin, making sure it doesn’t age early.

3). Blackberries, Blueberries, Strawberries and All Kinds of Fruits
All the berries have amazing anti-oxidant properties that keep your skin looking good. Their anti-oxidant properties are high and the color factor in the berries contributes to giving your skin a beautiful look, keeping it radiant, hydrated and alive. Mangoes are also great for repairing skin cells and because they have a lot of vitamin A it is great for your skin. All other fruits, including grapefruit is also recommended.
