Patent number: 9050365Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the transdermal delivery of substances and, in some embodiments, to the transdermal delivery of beneficial substances by a hostile biophysical environment. In one aspect, various methods for the transdermal delivery of beneficial substances are disclosed. By creating a hostile biophysical environment, beneficial substances may be delivered, according to certain embodiments, through the stratum corneum of the skin into the body. Beneficial substances include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical agents, drugs, vitamins, co-factors, peptides, dietary supplements, and others. The beneficial effects disclosed include, for instance, relief of pain and inflammation, prevention and healing of ulcers of the skin, relief of headache, improved sexual function and enjoyment, growth of hair on the scalp, improving muscle size and/or function, removing body fat and/or cellulite, treating cancer, treating viral infections and others.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2005Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Strategic Science & Technologies, LLCInventor: Eric Thor Fossel

Publication number: 20110028548Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the improvement of tissue health by increasing local blood flow. In some aspects of the invention, increased local blood flow is effected by the transdermal delivery of the nitric oxide precursor L-arginine and/or its derivatives alone, or optionally in conjunction with an adjunct such as theophylline. The transdermal delivery is effected, in certain embodiments through the means of a hostile biophysical environment, such as that created by a high ionic strength environment. Various pathological states caused by, or occurring in conjunction with, insufficient blood flow, can be treated using the systems and methods of the invention as described herein. In other embodiments, increased blood flow using the systems and methods of the invention may result in enhanced healing, for example, through greater availability of the constituents of the blood.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2010Publication date: February 3, 2011Applicant: Strategic Science & Technologies, LLCInventor: Eric Thor Fossel

Publication number: 20100196517Abstract: This invention generally relates to improvement of the body and skin appearance, for example enhancing the appearance of sagging, wrinkled, or cellulite-afflicted areas of the skin and body, through the local delivery of a nitric oxide donor, for example, using delivery vehicles such as lotions, creams, liquids, and/or transdermal patches. In some embodiments, a delivery vehicle containing a nitric oxide donor, for example, L-arginine (an important biological precursor) or its derivatives in a sufficient concentration to improve the appearance of a selected area of the body may be applied. In certain cases, one or more agents may also be included that aid in the transfer of the nitric oxide donor into the tissue, which may overcome the resistance to transfer into the skin. Non-limiting examples of suitable agents include agents able to create hostile biophysical environments, for instance, choline chloride, magnesium chloride, and/or sodium chloride.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2010Publication date: August 5, 2010Applicant: Strategic Science & Technologies, LLCInventor: Eric Thor Fossel

Publication number: 20090105336Abstract: The present invention provides a treatment for enhancing the ability of the body to heal wounds. A topical cream is described which improves blood flow by the transdermal delivery of the nitric oxide precursor L-Arginine either alone or with an adjunct, theophylline. The delivery of the active agents is accomplished by use of a vehicle which contains a hostile biophysical environment which is also hostile to hydrogen bond formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2005Publication date: April 23, 2009Applicant: Strategic Science & Technologies, LLCInventor: Eric Thor Fossel
