TREATMENT FOR
BURNS USING HEPARIN

- Eliminates
pain
- Eliminates
or drastically reduces scarring
- Enhances
healing
- Reduces,
often eliminates surgeries
- Leaves
smooth, elastic skin

“We
concluded that topical heparin use can enhance the healing of burn
wounds and relieve the patient’s pain significantly
in humans without any influence on clotting time. It
also has a
beneficial
role to inhibit the formation of scar after wound healing.”

Burns are thermal injuries that cause great human suffering. They
are extremely painful, due to the progressive, inflammatory destruction
of burned tissue. They are slow to heal, and sometimes fail to
heal, partly due to deficient blood flow and inadequate cell repair.
-
Burns
are often disfiguring scars that may be psychologically crippling
and physically limiting.
-
As
a result of years of research, the Saliba Burns Institute (SBI)
has been instrumental in developing a humane, effective and
inexpensive burn treatment using the common medicine heparin.
Heparin can be applied on burn surfaces, in blisters, inside
the patient, and, in some cases, by inhalation.
-
Used
on over 29,000 patients worldwide without complications.
-
Doctors
and patients have found that, when used correctly, heparin relieves
pain, enhances and shortens healing, largely eliminates scars,
and reduces mortality rates. Moreover, the cost is affordable,
often one-tenth or less the cost of current treatments.
-
Dr.
Saliba has developed a treatment protocol that, with slight
variations, has successfully been used to treat burned patients
in the U.S., India, Russia, El Salvador, Bulgaria, Brazil, Haiti,
Oman, Mexico, China, South Korea, Malaysia. Studies in progress
in Great Britain, Belgium and Italy.
-
For
example, in El Salvador in 1998, all children with burns covering
more than 40 percent of body area died. After introducing heparin
treatment, the survival rate in similarly burned children was
raised to 60 percent.

the pain, restored healing and left no scars or contractures.
Today she is a happy, scar free child. |

These
are the happy faces of the children who were treated with
heparin by Dr. V. Jayaraman & Dr. K.M. Ramakrishnan
after a school fire in Chennai,
India .
We realize that many of the pictures on this site are
difficult to view. However in every case the results are
astonishing. Over and over, in country after country it
has been proven that heparin used topically (relieves pain
instantly), injected into blisters, or inhaled, effectively
treats burns in a safe and extremely cost effective way
in a period of time shortened by months if not years.
Ask your doctor to use heparin immediately upon the burn
injury to your friend, family member, neighbor or employee...
