Abstract: Copper ion treatments for dermatological areas of the body include solutions, creams, lotions, gels, foams, wound dressings, skin patches and suture material, each containing copper ions that bring about therapeutic effects when the copper ion treatments are applied to dermatological tissue. Methods of treating dermatological areas of the body include treatments for use on the skin and nails to treat conditions including disease, infection, inflammation, damaged or injured tissue, tissue needing to be sutured, rashes and other undesirable dermatological conditions.

Abstract: A vaginal therapeutic device made of copper metal has a shape to fit in the vagina and utilizes the copper metal as an antimicrobial agent to therapeutically treat abnormal biological conditions in the vagina.

Abstract: A tongue deodorizing device comprises a tongue contacting instrument having a stainless steel tissue rubbing surface for being rubbed against the tongue and having a water supply for supplying water to a fluid transport channel of the tongue contacting instrument for discharge adjacent the tongue rubbing surface. The tongue rubbing surface in contact with the tissue of the tongue reacts with the water to deodorize the tongue via a non-mechanical reaction. The tongue contacting instrument may also comprise a tongue scraping element for mechanically scraping the tongue to reduce odor via mechanical removal of odor-causing material from the tongue.

Abstract: A deodorizer device for controlling body odor comprises a structure having an external metal oxide surface with a contour to contact the surface of the skin where perspiration is produced and is degraded by bacterial organisms on the skin into body odor. The metal oxide surface is reactable with water supplied to the surface of the skin to render the bacterial organisms ineffectual to degrade perspiration later produced on the skin into body odor. The deodorizer device together with a water source form a deodorizer system. A method of controlling body odor involves supplying water to the surface of the skin where perspiration is produced and is degraded by bacterial organisms into body odor and, at the same time, contacting the surface of the skin with a metal oxide surface of a deodorizer device.

Abstract: A method of treating an abnormal biological condition involves the steps of introducing a metal oxide into the vaginal canal and repeating the step of introducing at regular intervals to treat an abnormal biological condition. The abnormal biological condition treated in accordance with the present invention may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Treating may involve treating at least one of an abnormal fungal, bacterial, biofilm, viral, inflammatory or neoplastic biological condition.

Abstract: A topical treatment for abnormal biological conditions occurring on an anatomical surface of a body comprises a treatment substance including chromium oxide, an iron compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in a consistency for topical application to the anatomical surface of the body. A method of treating an abnormal biological condition occurring on an anatomical surface of a body involves applying a treatment substance comprising chromium oxide, an iron compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the site of an actual or potential abnormal biological condition on the anatomical surface of the body. Treatment involves correction of an actual abnormal biological condition or prevention of a potential abnormal biological condition.
