1. THE EVIDENCE THIS KEY STUDY WAS RECEIVED WITH ACCLAIM AT THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF BURNS, INDIA CONFERENCE, LUDHIANA, INDIA. 22 FEBRUARY, 2015

2. ABOUT THE STUDY: 30 patients with second degree burns were treated with wheatgrass extract (WHEATFIX BURN SPRAY) And compared with standard silver sulfadiazine dressings. MAJOR FINDINGS: A. PAIN RELIEF 93% OF PATIENTS IN THE WHEATGRASS GROUP WERE COMPLETELY RELIEVED OF PAIN WITHIN 24 HOURS whereas none of the SSD (SILVER SULFADIAZINE OINTMENT) treated patients experienced pain relief.

6. BURN STUDY RESEARCHERS’ OBSERVATIONS: Children were most benefited by wheatgrass as no sedative was necessary, but was required by the majority of patients with SSD dressings. Pain relief started after one hour using wheatgrass and lasted for about 8-10 hours with minimal analgesic requirement for breakthrough pain. Analgesics had to be given round the clock with SSD dressing patients. Patient compliance with wheatgrass extract was better as the wound did not require dressings

7. MORE OBSERVATIONS FROM THE RESEARCHERS: Dressing application with SSD was cumbersome while with wheatgrass extract it was simple to just spray it on the wound. No hypersensitivity or adverse effects were seen with wheatgrass extract. Wheatgrass extract was found to be safe. Wound infection was nil with wheatgrass as there was no obvious discharge or slough over the wound area. Wounds in the wheatgrass group were kept open so one could observe the efficacy of wheatgrass as well as eliminating the adverse effects of occlusive dressings, moist environment and Vaseline gauze normally used in the treatment of burns. Parents of children with burns were satisfied with wheatgrass as there was no psychological trauma to children since it was a simple spray. This ensured that children returned for regular follow up without fear of dressing change.

8. ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS MADE DURING THE STUDY Patients benefited most from wheatgrass extract because only minimal analgesia was required in a few patients. Compliance with wheatgrass extract was greater as the wound did not require dressings By comparison, because the SSD group required dressings which aggravate fresh burn surfaces, the majority required analgesia. Pain relief commenced after one hour using wheatgrass and lasted for about 8-10 hours with minimal analgesia required in a few for breakthrough pain. In the SSD group, analgesics were required round the clock.

9. PICTORIAL EVIDENCE OF WHEATFIX BURN SPRAY EFFICACY FOR TREATMENT OF SECOND DEGREE BURNS Day 1. Large burn area anterior thigh. Pre-wheatgrass treatment. Day 7. New skin forming over wound. No inflammation, exudate or infection. Day 15. Wound clean. Skin almost fully recovered. CASE #1.

10. Day 1. Pre-Wheatfix Burn Spray This child suffered second degree kerosene burns to his face. His pain ceased within 24 hours application with Wheatfix Burn Spray. Day 6. Note new, completely healed skin on left cheek, nose Day 3. Burn sealed. Pain-free. CASE #2.

11. Second degree burns to buttock region. Heavy exudate. Pre-wheatgrass treatment. Compare arrowed region with last picture (re-pigmentation). CASE #3. Day 3. Wounds almost completely dry and debrided. Reduced inflammation. No infection. Day 10. Wounds completely healed. Slight inflammation, no exudate and no sign of infection. Note re-pigmentation suggesting recovery of melanocytic function. (arrow)
