Not at all! QR CREAM™ is a Natural Health product and is available online or through our retail store partners!

Dr. Bertrand’s record on 235 patients shows that they enjoyed an average 53 percent relief of pain.

The 235 patients treated by Dr. Bertrand enjoyed relief from pain that on average lasted 4 hours. For some the pain disappeared permanently.

Use enough cream to cover the area of pain. Start with a small amount and increase it until the pain is reduced significantly, which normally happens after about 16 minutes.

There is no risk in applying the cream repeatedly if the pain reappears. 2 – 4 applications a day are normal. In dealing with 235 patients Dr. Bertrand found that for many the need for repeated applications diminished quickly and for some disappeared altogether.

Dr. Bertrand treated 235 patients and found that relief occurred on average 16 minutes after application of the cream. Some patients enjoyed relief immediately.

Among the 235 patients treated by Dr. Bertrand with QR CREAM™, only a very small number experienced a mild and quickly disappearing rash. No other side-effects occurred.

QR CREAM™ is very safe.  Its only side effect is that, in a few people with very delicate skin, rubbing it in has caused a rash.  Often, when these people just apply it gently to their skin or put it on plastic wrap, which they then apply to their skin for 30 minutes, this prevents the rash from happening.  Some people are allergic to menthol and QR cream contains a very small amount of it.  If you get a reaction, of course, stop using the cream.

Apply the cream liberally to the area of pain. Rub and/or massage into the skin until the cream is absorbed. Reapply the cream (up to 3 or 4 times per day) as needed, if the pain returns. QR CREAM™ contains microscopic granules of mannitol which can irritate very delicate skin when the skin is rubbed vigorously. 

QR CREAM™ is protected by US and Canadian patents, which indicates that it is a new and unique product.

QR CREAM™ is manufactured in Vancouver, Canada, in a facility approved and regularly examined by Health Canada, an agency of the Canadian government.

QR CREAM™ is stored in a facility that meets Health Canada’s requirements for the maintenance of an environment with specified temperature and humidity, which prevents damage to the cream.

Health Canada is responsible for ensuring that health products for sale in the country are safe. It has examined QR CREAM™, found it safe, approved it for sale and issued it with an official product number.

No. The evidence is strong. None of Dr. Bertrand’s 235 patients treated with the cream over several years have become addicted.  Many found that the longer they used QR CREAM™, the less they needed it, as their pain gradually disappeared.

1. Mannitol, which is extracted from plants and has a molecular structure similar to that of regular sugar. It shuts down the pain message going to the brain and causes your pain to be relieved or to stop.

2. Menthol, which helps Mannitol to penetrate the skin and reach the pain nerves. It also creates a cooling sensation.

The use of these ingredients has been given a stamp of approval by Health Canada, which has issued QR CREAM™ an official Natural Product Number.

Only major credit cards and PayPal are acceptable for internet sales.

Dr. Bertrand’s experience with 235 patients shows that the cream can be used successfully in treating pain caused by arthritis, tendonitis, nerve pain from shingles (postherpetic neuralgia), from diabetes, chemotherapy or other causes (neuropathy), itchy psoriasis, sunburns and insect bites.

Because the mannitol in QR cream is applied to the skin, this cream works best where the pain nerves it calms are closest to the skin. Fingers, hands, wrists, knees ankles and feet, and pain from the skin itself: sunburns, insect bites and stings and itchy psoriasis respond most quickly. However the cream provides relief anywhere on the body where the pain nerves are not too far from the skin. It relieves headaches (but make sure you don’t put the cream near your eyes as the menthol in QR cream can irritate the eyes) and pain in your, shoulders, arms, elbows, thighs and legs, neck and back.

QR cream does not relieve pain originating in areas deep inside the body which it cannot reach such as the heart or the kidneys.

According to information found in medical journals and the personal experience of many people, pain-reducing medications injected or taken by mouth have many side effects.

They can make patients feel sleepy, dizzy and dopey, cause stomach upsets, high blood pressure, kidney damage and heart attacks. Many of these medications are addictive and cause severe withdrawal symptoms, even seizures, once their use is ended.

QR CREAM™ has none of these risks. Its active ingredients are completely natural and proven safe.  It relieves pain more effectively and more quickly than other pain medications.
