Baptist Evangelist David Harper first envisioned White Mountain Naturals Soap Company" after the loss of his right leg in August of 2004. David was unable to gain a prosthetic leg for almost 8 months after his amputation due to a variety of situations and insurance issues, and then decided since he was wheelchair and house bound he needed a hobby. He decided he would try his hand at making homemade bar soaps and attempted to see where this would lead him. After much trial and error he formulated a soap, which he believed would help other amputees. This of course went by the wayside due to the lack of his financial ability, yet the desire to help fellow amputees did not wane.

Around February 1, 2007 a close pastor friend and his wife came for a visit and David told them that he was making his own soap for his family's use, and told them of the healing properties of the ingredients, he gave them a sample to try. This friend's wife had been plagued by skin problems for years – mainly dry itchy skin patches around the nose and in the ears, and also problems on the arms and legs from allergic reactions to bug bites (no-see-ums) – and she found that by using the bar soap with the all natural ingredients her skin and facial problems cleared up with in a few days – and she is no longer plagued or bothered by breakouts or skin irritations, or even those little bugs. 

The partnership came together as the great success and potential of the product was evident to many other people who tried our sample products.  Many people had similar skin problems and found fast relief with these natural products. Excitement began to grow and ideas flowed.  Since David's friends had seen the potential of the all-natural soap, the obvious question was asked, "Can we do anything for you to help bring this product to the marketplace in order for you to help fellow amputees find relief? Well work was begun in earnest and David went even further and created "Limb Defense" – a new line of all natural liquid products, that do not contain those harmful chemicals or industrial pesticides found in many "Personal Care Products" on the market today. Many "Personal Care Products" achieve their antibacterial goals by adding harmful industrial pesticides as bacterial germ killers. Our formulations contain no such harmful chemicals or steroids. Only ingredients with natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory healing and infection fighting properties are used to ensure the finest quality and ability to help other amputees in the same situation as David. Our "Limb Defense Wash and Liner Cleanser" helps to control dry, scaling damaged skin. The all-natural ingredients contain essential oils known for their antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiviral, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory healing properties around the world. For further help "Limb Defense Skin Conditioner and Moisturizer" was also created to be used along with our "Limb Defense Wash & Liner Cleanser". It doubles your ability to heal by having a lotion to use in between cleansing.  Used in conjunction with one another, you're "Best Defense" strategy is achieved in "Limb Management" and offers you the ability to protect yourself against future problems.

Now, we cannot guarantee you will not have future issues, but what we are trying to accomplish is the ability to give you some "All Natural Alternatives as Tools in maintaining your Residual Limb Site."   

The main issue with having to wear silicon liners and sleeves on a constant basis is that there is a consistent moist environment where bacteria, fungus, and viruses can breed, causing many issues for the amputee. From minor to major infections, dry scaling, damaged skin, cyst, sores. Each of us has some of these same issues as well as some not even addressed in this article. 

MRSA- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is now considered a National Health epidemic by the CDC (Center for Disease Control). This is why these products are needed in such a great way today! When you study the effectiveness of Melaleuca Alternifolia (tea tree) Leaf Oil, you will find it is truly, a miracle oil from above. There are over two hundred medicinal uses for this particular type of tea tree oil. There are over 300 types of tea trees, with this particular type tree offering the many beneficial attributes necessary for a wide variety of natural healing. When you read the Tea Tree Oil Study on our site you will find we use only the pharmaceutical grade oil, which is the highest grade available for use by the Australian Government. We will never sacrifice and use industrial or commercial grades as many do. These studies show the effectiveness of the oil's ability to kill MRSA bacteria and gram negative bacteria in general as well as many types of fungi and viruses.

After meeting with Baptist Pastor Nash Desent and his wife Suzanne, Evangelist David Harper and the Desent's formed a partnership and created a parent company called, "White Mountain Products Company". This company has two divisions and a two fold purpose, "White Mountain Naturals" will help to address the amputee and others with not only the management of their residual limbs, but as many people as can benefit to avoid as many limb and skin related issues as possible with products that will be naturally antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory, combined with natural healing properties, which do not contain, harmful, toxic chemicals or steroids. These issues are addressed with our "Limb Defense" line of products and our new Super Skin Defense Line. Just introduced in late August 2007 was our newest product "Psoriasis & Eczema Healing Salve". This new product has proven to be effective in not only relieving the symptoms of these two conditions, but many have stated that they believe it is helping to heal them in a permanent way.

 Let's be honest with one another, as Bro. Harper has often said "we have enough issues to face as amputees and the disables, that we must try to limit as many of these issues as we can in order to live as normal and productive a life as possible"  He has also tried to live with this thought in mind after the loss of his leg, it is found in the King James Bible:

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

 And

Romans  8:18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

conclusions:

1. The Lord allowed this to happen to me for my good, even if I do not understand why at this point in my life.

2. Obstacles in life are not insurmountable problems; they are simply opportunities waiting to be overcome.

3. One day it will be revealed in a glorious way in this life or the next!
