Humn Pharmaceuticals introduces
Safe Pain Relief Cream By Haidita Celestine
R
odger Lundon is an Ottawa-based
preneur with a vision:
make sure everyone in Ottawa has access to the safest pain medication possible. When Rodger came across a safe and effective topical pain reliever for his mother-in-law, he did some research and discovered that it was made by a small Canadian company in Winni- peg. The product wasn’t widely available at the time and he wanted to make sure that other people in Ottawa could benefit from his discovery. So he started spreading the word about TPR20. Five years later 33 retailers in the city carry the product, Ottawa is the hotbed of Canadian sales of TPR20, Rodger is director of retail development for Humn Phar- maceuticals and he has recruit- ed several others to his cause. Dr. John Kindle, an Ottawa
GP for more than 35 years, was
introduced to TPR20
following an acute strain of a calf muscle that was about to interfere with a squash game; TPR20 allowed him to play without any significant pain. He now recommends TPR20 to his patients several times per week: “I like this cream because it is safe. When I prescribe anti-inflammatories I need to be cautious about gastric irrita- tion; I have unfortunately seen the side effects of acute gastrointestinal bleed- ing from oral non-steroidal anti inflam- matory medications (NSAIDS). That is never a worry for me when patients use TPR20.” Dr. Daniel Vandervoort, a long time
Ottawa area chiropractor recommends TPR20 to his patients at his Rockland and Beacon Hill chiropractic clinics. Dr. Vandervoort was surprised at how quickly word has spread, as avid local golfers come in regularly to purchase TPR20 to help them enjoy their golf

Gardening is great exercise but if you are arthritic or a bit stiff from winter inactivity, it can be a “pain”. This product really helps.
game pain free. Dr. Vandervoort recom- mends TPR20 because it is effective with most people in a very short time. As a topical pain relieving cream,
TPR20 is applied on the skin, at the point where pain is felt. It doesn’t go through the stomach, or the liver or the kidneys, or into the blood-stream, where it can leave a trail of damage. “I have had expe- rience with other topical medications, including
prescription medications”
says Kindle. “The efficacy of TPR20 cream appears to be much more effec- tive in treating pain. Many of the pres- ent creams on the market are designed to mask problems (counter-irritants); however TPR20 goes to the source of the problem and blocks the pain. I find it works particularly well for serious pain such as post herpetic neuralgia (shingles)
entre-
and osteoarthritis, especially arthritic knee joints.” Lundon explains that
Humn Pharmaceuticals is dedicated to creating a suite of products that are formu- lated using top components from the pharmaceutical industry blended with natu- ral products that have been painstakingly selected to produce safe and effective pain relief. TPR20 is the company’s first offering. Its active ingredients are lido- caine – a pharmaceutical – as the active pain reliever, and menthol, as its main natural anti-inflammatory. Lidocaine is a nerve block. higher
At concentrations,
dentists, dermatologists and plastic surgeons use the drug regularly as an anesthetic. It has been in use since the 1940s and is known to be extremely safe. The menthol also assists the lidocaine to get through the skin right to the painful spot. Dr. Vandervoort finds that even patients with chronic
arthritis notice a difference in their pain level and mobility within a few days. Of course with chronic problems TPR20 use should continue for an extended period until some healing can take place at a deeper level. TPR20 has been circulating in Canada
and the United States largely through word-of-mouth, receiving strong praise from patients and medical professionals alike. Lundon says that the company is currently planning clinical trials to prove a number of the claims they hear from patients, and is formulating a number of companion products committed to safe relief from many other types of pain. In the meantime Lundon is making sure that TPR20 is available as broadly as possible so people can enjoy safe effec- tive relief from their pain. h
