Medical Lore

Ongoing studies into blood, led by Dr. Lark Atwood, have resulted in the discovery of two categories, universal and non-universal blood. It is believed more remains to be discovered regarding blood categories and why some blood is universal and others are not.

The unique use of Strawberry Extract remains a staple in the treatment of blood loss. Its properties enable the body's quick reaction to the reproduction of blood. The incredible virtues of Strawberry Extract were introduced by Dr. Kavanaugh (known as Dr. K)

Salmon skin therapy was introduced by Dr. Delilah Kane. It remains a staple in the treatment of burns by allowing the skin to maintain moisture and enabling skin cell regeneration as well as reducing the spread of necrotic skin.
