• In
January 1990 Gold Cross,
a magazine of the New Jersey State First Aid Council, Inc., published
an article written by Harry J. Gaynor, then President of the National
Burn Victim Foundation, entitled “Journey
to China: Burn Remedy Revealed,”
on a trip to China to inspect patients treated by MEBO/MEBT, together
with Dr. Anthony Barbara, a pediatric burn specialist from Hackensack
Hospital, New Jersey. In the article, Mr. Gaynor wrote, “I
will go the
end of the earth to find a solution to burn disfigurement,”
and “I
ended up going to China half-way around the world. There I found
hope.”
• On
May 7, 1990 Newsweek
magazine published an article entitled
“A Simpler Way to Save Lives Could a New Medication from
China
Change the World’s Approach to Treating Burn
Injuries?”
stating, “Doctors have made immense progress in treating
severe burns
over the past few decades……One would expect
future progress to consist
of refinement, not all-out revolution. But if a new Chinese
treatment
fulfills its initial promise, much of modern burn therapy could be
rendered instantly obsolete. The new remedy not only eases the pain of
burn injuries, according to the proponents, but speeds healing, reduces
scarring and drastically cuts the cost of saving lives. The
ostensible
breakthrough is still years from general use in this country.
But it
is already changing clinical practice in China.”
• In
1990 CNN reported Dr. Xu and his treatment of burn patients
• In
the summer of 1990 there was a gas
explosion in Bangkok, Thailand, injuring a large number of people. Dr.
Xu was sent by the Chinese government to assist the Thai government in
the treatment of the burn patients, and successfully used MEBT/MEBO to
treat many patients without disablement and minimum scarring. On Oct.
30, 1990, Mr. Marut Bunnag, Minister of Public Health of Thailand, sent
a letter
to the
Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China, thanking the

received China’s Award for Scientific and Technological
Innovations
Made by Young Scientists, and MEBO/MEBT was selected by the government
to be one of the top 100 important achievements of science and
technologies to be promoted nationwide.
