(Discount returns to standard rate after June 8th) Episode Description You've been using alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and Neosporin your whole life. And none of them are actually helping you heal faster. In fact, they may be slowing you down. Justin Gardner is the founder of Active Skin Repair, a medical grade hypochlorous acid product that was originally developed for hospital use in burn units, wound care centers, and neonatal ICUs before he licensed it and brought it to the public. Dr. G has been using it since 2019, including once when he cut his finger open deep in the mountains of Tanga and used it instead of stitches. Eight days later it was nearly sealed. Three weeks later, no scar. In this episode, you'll discover:  • What hypochlorous acid actually is, why your white blood cells already produce it, and why it kills 99.9% of bacteria, fungi, and viruses within 15 seconds with the same safety profile as saline solution  • Why alcohol and hydrogen peroxide kill the healthy growth factors your body produces to heal itself, and how hypochlorous acid cleans the wound without impairing the repair process  • How parents, kids, pets, athletes, and anyone dealing with acne, eczema, sunburns, diaper rash, or chronic wounds can use one bottle for almost everything This is the Windex of skin care. In the best possible way.
