Dr. Helene Bertrand
Dr. Helene Bertrand obtained her medical degree from McGill University and is a Clinical Instructor at the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Family Medicine. She has co-authored a number of studies that are published in peer-reviewed medical journals.
In her pain clinic Dr. Bertrand has, for many years, successfully injected Mannitol around inflamed and painful nerves. Often, the pain would disappear before the needle was removed from the skin. This is why she thought that it might be possible to avoid the need for needles by using a skin-penetrating cream to deliver Mannitol to these nerves.
