US Scientists Discover Super-Oxidation To Kill Germs

Bad circulation can prevent foot ulcers from healing US scientists have developed "super-oxidised" water which they say speeds up wound healing. Oculus, the Californian firm which developed the water - made by filtering it through a salt membrane - says it kills viruses, bacteria and fungi. It is also effective against MRSA and UK trials are being carried out on patients with diabetic foot ulcers, New Scientist magazine reported. Experts said wound healing was a major problem for people with diabetes. The key ingredient of the water, called Microcyn, are oxychlorine ions - electrically charged molecules which pierce the cell walls of free-living microbes. The water can only kill cells it can completely surround so human cells are spared because they are tightly bound together in a matrix. It is made by taking purified water and passing it through a semi- permeable sodium chloride membrane, which produces the oxychlorine ions. One study showed that patients with advanced foot ulcers who were treated with the water, alongside an antibiotic had an average healing time of 43 days compared with 55 days in those who received standard treatment http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6684701.stm http://www.rense.com/general76/occy.htm

    I don't know why, but that whole article seems to read like a 'male enhancement' email.<br />
    <br />
    So I warmed up the Google-fu.<br />

    But the rest sounds interesting.<p>---<br>The preceding comment deals with mature subject matter, however immaturely presented. Viewer discretion is advised.<br />

    male enhancement probably has nothing to do with the postal system service does it?
