  • Publication number: 20040247707
    Abstract: Most pain relief products on the market, if they work at all are labeled “for temporary relief”. A person in pain for whatever reason desires three things. Since pain is not enjoyable, quick action is the first. For the same reason, long lasting is the second. The third consideration is as safe a product as possible. “Pearl Blue” performs all these needs quite well. The lidocaine is quick, begins relief in some degree in minutes. The other 6 ingredients penetrate at different rates so that as one diminishes the others in succession are working down the time chart to bring their own individual relief for up to 3 hours or longer depending on the sufferers own body chemistry. And the ingredients work together to aid each other in the whole result and have been time tested individually to be safe for generations.
