Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Super Water Kills Bugs Dead By Skip Kaltenheuser 02:00 AM May. 16, 2005 PT A California company has figured out how to use two simple materials -- water and salt -- to create a solution that wipes out single-celled organisms, and which appears to speed healing of burns, wounds and diabetic ulcers. The solution looks, smells and tastes like water, but carries an ion imbalance that makes short work of bacteria, viruses and even hard-to-kill spores. Developed by Oculus Innovative Sciences in Petaluma, the super-oxygenated water is claimed to be as effective a disinfectant as chlorine bleach, but is harmless to people, animals and plants. If accidentally ingested by a child, the likely impact is a bad case of clean teeth. Oculus said the solution, called Microcyn, may prove effective in the fight against superbugs, crossover viruses like bird flu and Ebola, and bioterrorism threats such as anthrax. The company has just been granted approval in the United States to test the solution in the treatment of wounds, and already has government approval in Europe, Canada and Mexico for diverse uses, from disinfectant to wound irrigation. Doctors conducting trials in Mexico and India are recounting stories at international conferences of their surprise at another feature of the solution: It speeds the healing of severe burns and diabetic ulcers. According to Hoji Alimi, founder and president of Oculus, the ion-hungry water creates an osmotic potential that ruptures the cell walls of single-celled organisms, and out leaks the cell's cytoplasm. Because multicellular organisms -- people, animals, plants -- are tightly bound, the water is prevented from surrounding the cells, and there is no negative impact. http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,67472,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_6 Peace - Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 .....is there a way to produce " homemade " super-oxygenated water for personal use, I wonder? .....and....is that the same thing as " aerated water?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 ---hydrogen peroxide is what some people use to oxgenate water or ya can make a vortex tunnel and hit the water with with the combined energy of a couple of tesla coils , a van de graff generator, ultraviolet light (that's the method I prefer) In , three feathers <threecrowfeathers> wrote: > > ....is there a way to produce " homemade " > super-oxygenated water for personal use, I wonder? > > ....and....is that the same thing as " aerated water?
