And so, we do our best to avoid developing and utilizing our immune systems, just as viruses and bacteria become more and more drug-resistant.

Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

Thanks for this Information, it may save very many lives.

Been wondering why humans living under intense Arctic and Subarctic conditions developed digestive systems that could handle nearly toxic levels of iron found in such items as seal liver.

Even reindeer tissues have 3 to 5 times as much iron as cattle and other deer.

Here's another natural selection factor.

I guess we screwed up when we switched from iron pipes to copper and then to PVC.

bump. It is my understanding that a lack of clean water supplies is one of, if not the, leading health problem in the world.

Or if you have neither the time nor the inclination to boil water, iodine is equally effective. After 10 minutes (20 minutes for very cold water), a sufficient dose of iodine kills all protozoa, bacteria, and viruses. There are many iodination methods, and two excellent ones are commercially available.

One thing I learned from Six Sigma.
99.999% ain't so good.

Imagine if the airlines had that record? Would _ANYONE_ fly willingly?

This technology sounds great and all, but if these monkey's in the third world just boiled the water, the problem would go away.

[NRA2BFree]

Outstanding! This will be beneficial to third world countries. Those people are forced to drink water that I wouldn't take a shower in. It would be wonderful if we could wash our vegetables/fruits with this water to insure that all deadly viruses were killed simply by swishing them through the water! It would be more wonderful if they were able to use this technique to develop vaccinations for the viruses that kill people or make them very sick.

"Four billion cases of diarrheal disease occur worldwide every year, resulting in 1.8 million deaths, primarily infants and children in developing countries"

Wow! How nice would it be to develop a product that would save 1.8 million people a year? Sweet! Not to mention the money these people would save from not being out of work, health care, etc. I'm having a hard time coming up with a bigger health advancement in the last 20 years.
