Abstract: A skin absorbent cream including the ingredients MSM, urea, propylene glycol and a large molecular medication. This combination of ingredients softens the skin to allow penetration of the medication through the skin and into the underlying blood vessels. The large molecular medication dissolves in the propylene glycol between as low as 25° C. to 150° C. and becomes the transporter through the outer skin layer and into the blood stream.
Abstract: A support apparatus for a fluid dispenser having a container with a body portion, a neck portion defining an opening and a flange; and a fluid pump mechanism for withdrawing fluid from the container. Included in the apparatus is a housing for mounting on an upright planar surface; the housing defining a guide, and a support surface for receiving the flange to removably support the container; a latch; and a retainer shaped and arranged for reciprocating movement on the guide between open and closed positions and in a first direction relative to the housing and for reciprocating movement in a second direction different than the first direction and between the closed position and a latched position. The retainer, in its open position, allows removal of the container from the housing, in its closed position, prevents removal, and, in its latched position, is prevented from movement in the first direction by the latch. The retainer discourages unauthorized removal of the container from the support apparatus.
