Dangers of Chlorine Bleach as a Disinfectant and Are Hand Sanitizes Killing Us?

Dangers of Chlorine Beach as a Disinfectant

And

Are Hand Sanitizers Killing Us?

There is an Alternative that is Safe for You, Your Family and the Environment.

Chlorine Beach in any form – whether household bleach or industrial disinfectant bleach – it is dangerous.  And might be so dangerous to your lungs and body that it makes you susceptible to the virus or pathogen – the corona – Wuhan – H1N1 – Swine – Bird Flu or viruses.

 

Bleach can be toxic to every living being and our environment.

As you may know (or even have experienced), the fumes from bleach are very strong. When it’s inhaled, it may cause a variety of health problems.

And it contributes to weakening the lungs, making the lungs more vulnerable to infection and pneumonia, and makes you more susceptible to diseases.

Bleach is very irritating and corrosive to the skin, lungs, and eyes.

Bleach is an irritant and is corrosive. It can cause skin burns, irritation of the eyes, lungs, nose, and throat.

Bleach can also react with other household chemicals such as toilet bowl cleaners, detergent, vinegar, acids, ammonia containing products, or organic matter (e.g. urine, feces, etc.), to produce toxic gases.

Make the safe choice of Super Oxidized Water or Hypochlorous Acid Water – It is the same thing and is FDA, USDA, EPA, and CDC approved.

And it the safest, cheapest hand sanitizer ever – Never be stuck without this protection for yourself or your family.

You can contact me directly for more information about Super Oxidized Water or Hypochlorous Acid Water

You can have your very own licensed medical device which produces this specialized anti-bacterial, anti-viral water.

Dangers of Hand Sanitizers

The following is an article by Neil Wagner

Hand Sanitizer KILLING US

Hand Sanitizer May Impair Muscle Contraction

NEIL WAGNER

SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

 

IS OUR PURELL KILLING US? No. Interestingly, though, the common soap/deodorant/cleaner ingredient triclosan has been found to impair muscle function.

 

There is now one more reason for people to break their love affair with antibacterial soaps, hand sanitizers, and cleaning products. Triclosan, a common ingredient in antibacterial products, weakens isolated muscle cells in the laboratory, as well as muscles in living fish and mice, at doses similar to those people and animals may be exposed to in everyday life.

Previous research suggests that triclosan may also act as an endocrine disrupter

In 2010, the FDA concluded that, except for its use in toothpaste for treating gingivitis (gum disease), triclosan provides no known health benefits to people: “At this time, the agency does not have evidence that triclosan in antibacterial soaps and body washes provides any benefit over washing with regular soap and water.”

Yet triclosan continues to be found in products ranging from hand soaps, mouthwashes and deodorants to bedding, clothes, toys, carpeting and trash bags.

The study’s three main findings:

  • In isolated heart and skeletal muscle tissue, triclosan inhibited muscular contraction within 10-20 minutes of exposure.
  • In mice, injected triclosan, at a concentration of 12.5 mg/kg body weight, reduced heart function by up to 25% in anesthetized mice and reduced grip strength of conscious mice by 18% for up to 60 minutes.
  • Triclosan exposure for seven days, at a concentration of 0.52 micromolar, significantly inhibited the swimming ability of fathead minnow larvae. Fathead minnows are a small fish often used to study the effect of aquatic pollutants.

What surprised the researchers from the University of California, Davis and the University of Colorado most was triclosan’s ability to affect both heart and skeletal muscle in very different organisms.

A decrease in muscle activity comparable to that seen by the researchers might not be particularly noticeable in a healthy person.

It certainly would be in a person with heart failure, whose heart is constantly under stress to provide sufficient blood flow to the rest of the body. And to creatures in the wild that depend on their muscles to avoid predators or capture prey, a 10 or 20% reduction in muscle function could make a real difference in their survival.

Back in 1998, annual triclosan production in the U.S. was estimated at one million pounds. There’s no indication that this number has gone down.

Enough triclosan has built up that it’s now detectable in human milk, blood, and urine and as a pollutant in many waterways.

Triclosan is chemically related to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pollutants that persist in the environment for a very long time without breaking down. The triclosan that you’re flushing down the drain may not be a very large amount, but imagine millions or billions of people doing the same and you’ve got one big pile of — potentially toxic waste.

It’s true that tests of chemicals showing harm to animals don’t always mean that these chemicals cause harm in humans. But with no known benefit, and a possibility of harm, it might be time to pay a little closer attention to the ingredient listings of soaps, cleaners, and personal care products.

An article on the study was published online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

179 Possibly Infected, 2 Dead in Hospital Anti-biotic Super Bug Outbreak

179 Possibly Infected, 2 Dead in Hospital Anti-biotic Super Bug Outbreak

Thursday, 19 Feb 2015 08:07 AM

Contaminated medical instruments are to blame for infecting seven patients – including two who died – with an antibiotic-resistant and potentially deadly “superbug” at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, hospital officials said.

A total of 179 patients may be infected.

They were exposed to Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, during endoscopic procedures between October and January when it was discovered during tests on a patient, said Dale Tate, a University of California, Los Angeles spokeswoman.
The potentially infected patients are being sent free home-testing kits that UCLA will analyze, the university said.
The bacteria may have been a “contributing factor” in the deaths of two patients, a university statement said.
Similar outbreaks of CRE have been reported around the nation. They are difficult to treat because some varieties are resistant to most known antibiotics. By one estimate, CRE can contribute to death in up to half of seriously infected patients, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The bacteria can cause infections of the bladder or lungs, leading to coughing, fever or chills.

CDC Studies MRSA Cross Contamination between Horses & Humans

CDC Study of MRSA and the Cross Contamination between Horses and Humans

MRSA in Horses

After MRSA infection was identified in horses at the same veterinary hospital, a study was done by the CDC to see if there was a relationship in the colonization rates of horses and the people who worked with them. Of the animals and people studied, 79 horses and 27 people were found to be either infected or colonized with MRSA. 34% of the horse isolates came from the veterinary hospital, while another 51% came from one thoroughbred farm. Of the human cases, 63% came from the veterinary hospital and 30% came from the farm.

The Impact of the pH Value on Skin Integrity and Cutaneous Wound Healing

 

The Impact of the pH Value on Skin Integrity and Cutaneous Wound Healing

The process of cutaneous wound healing comprises three overlapping major phases: inflammation, proliferation and tissue remodeling. However, while mechanisms are studied scientifically on the cellular and sub cellular level, there is still a lack of knowledge concerning basic clinical parameters like wound pH or pO2.

The likelihood of bacterial colonization, which is a common problem in chronic wound pathogenesis, is affected by wound pH alterations.

However, wound pH is rarely taken into account in current wound therapy strategies. A routinely performed monitoring of the wound pH and a subsequently adapted wound therapy would most possibly improve chronic wound therapy.

AntiBiotic Resistant – Hospital Associated Infections Defeated At Last

Antimicrobial activity of EAW (Electrolyzed Acidic Water) aka Hypochlorous Acid Water

Department of Laboratory Medicine and second Department of Internal Medicine, Nagasaki University

School of Medicine, Nagasaki 852, Japan. 15 April 1996

Summary: We tested the microbial activity of EAW water against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Serratia marcescens, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia.

The number of bacteria was reduced below detection limit following incubation in EAW water for 10 seconds. The bactericidal activity of EAW water was similar to that of 80% ethanol, but superior to that of 0.1 chlorhexidine and 0.02% povidone iodine.

We conclude that EAW or Hypochlorous Acid Water is a low cost but powerful disinfectant.

(Please note that this study was published in 1996.  We now have hundreds of studies revealing the mechanisms by which Hypochlorous acid water or EAW kills pathogens at the speed that it does.  We also have wound care studies revealing the validity in considering EAW as one of the best ways to reduce and eliminate pathogens from wounds and burns.  Please review the additional articles provided on this site.)

Introduction

Appropriate use of various disinfectants is necessary for the prevention of hospital-acquired infections.

EAW water is a strong acidic and colorless solution with a high oxidation-reduction potential.

The solution is prepared by mixing a small amount of salt with tap water in an electrolyzer. In this study, we report the properties of EAW water as a new disinfectant. Our results indicate that EAW water is a powerful bactericidal disinfectant against a variety of Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Hypochlorous Acid – Potent Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Agent Used at Seton Hospitals Wound Clinic

Promoting Progressive Healing

Hypochlorous Acid is a Very Potent Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Agent

By Randell Varilla, MSN, RN

Advance for Nurses FEATURED article

Posted on: May 23, 2012

Chronic non-healing wounds, such as venous stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers are serious unmet medical needs that effect a patient’s morbidity and mortality.

Factors that inhibit wound closure and healing are bacterial load, biofilm, presence of dead tissue or foreign bodies, deficiency of growth factors, tissue maceration, venous stasis, diabetes, malnutrition, renal disease, and advanced age.

Losing Control

Controlling the bacterial bioburden in wounds has been very difficult.

If the physician cannot control the infection in these chronic wounds, the patient may become further compromised by additional tissue damage, bacteremia, sepsis or deeper wound infections.

Pure Hypochlorous Acid or Electrolyzed Oxidized Water

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a very potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. It is produced by the body’s white blood cells as part of the innate defense against microbial pathogens through phagocytosis and oxidative burst with no-to-low potential for resistance.

In the past, companies and compounding pharmacies have attempted to prepare various forms of pure HOCl unsuccessfully and have unfortunately had to settle with mixtures such as Dakin’s solution, which is a mixture of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and HOCl (innate immune molecule).

Pure HOCl in solution has been described as being 80-100 times more potent as a germicide than the hypochlorite anion (high pH).

This is because pure HOCl in solution as a neutral/uncharged species can penetrate microbial cells and spore walls while the charged hypochlorite anion cannot penetrate cell walls. Pure HOCl is protonated and neutral in solution at acidic pH’s.

Recent in vitro research studies showed hypochlorous acid was effective against both planktonic and biofilm forms of S. aureus.  The researchers concluded the compound was equally effective in vitro against various antibiotic-sensitive and resistant S. aureus isolates when tested in minimum bactericidal concentration and time-kill assays.

Treatment of Skin Infection Ulcer with Hypochlorous Acid Water

 Treatment of Skin Infection Ulcer with Hypochlorous Acid Water

In the past several years, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aereus (hereinafter called MRSA) is becoming the main cause of infections in the hospital. Since our ward combines plastic and reconstructive surgery with dermatology, patients of chronic diseases and skin ulcer due to confinement sore as well as those who need high-tech and long-term treatments are concentrated.

Under these circumstances, it is known that strong acidic electrolyzed solution (hereinafter called Hypochlorous Acid water  or function water) has a powerful bactericidal effect, can be easily produced, and is very cost-effective. The bactericidal effect of Hypochlorous Acid water comes from physical function of oxidation-reduction potential, which is proved to have very low toxicity compared to chemical agents.

Among others, bactericidal effects of Hypochlorous Acid water are reported to be effective against not only general germs such as yellow staphylococcus, coliform (Escherichia coli) and bacillus pyocyaneus (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), but also against drug resistant bacteria such as MRSA. Hypochlorous Acid water is also said to have even virucidal and bactericidal (effectively kills viruses and bacteria).

We have applied Hypochlorous Acid water to treat 10 patients of infectious skin ulcer by washing the lesion. In comparison with the effects by salt water, we had the following impression about function water:

(1) The lesion was cleaned and benign granulation occurred more rapidly.

(2) Epithelium formation from surrounding tissues was made more quickly.

(3) The total period of treatment was shorter.

As to MRSA, lavage by Hypochlorous Acid water made it turn negative quicker than that by conventional method.

However, we also had a hunch that it is not easy to completely kill bacteria in deeply infected lesions.
