MIRACLE COMPOUND USED IN THE TRENCHES IN WW1 PROVES EFFECTIVE AGAINST DANGEROUS BACTERIA AND VIRUSES
French chemist Antoine Jerome Balard discovered in 1834 that when salt water is electrolysed it creates hypochlorous acid (HOCI).
The miracle-like compound was used in the trenches during WWI, long before antibiotics were readily available.
Despite proving effective against almost all known dangerous bacteria and viruses, the hurdle for mainstream HOCI usage has been the stability of the compound.
Now, British company (Solihull, West Midlands) Sanify’s technology enables a series of products that are more effective than bleach at eradicating viruses but boast the unique benefit of being 100% safe for humans.
The sanitisation range uses a unique formulation of HOCI, the aqueous chlorine solution that humans naturally carry within their white blood cells.
The compound forms a major part of the immune system and is activated when the body is threatened by infection.
HOCI is safe even if accidentally ingested, it is completely harmless.
However, it is more efficient at killing microbial pathogens – including SARS-CoV2 and MRSA – than chlorine bleach.
“Other antiseptics struggle to achieve the full efficacy required for a standard suspension test,” said Sanify’s Jeffrey Bennett.
“Whereas a good and well-produced HOCI formulation can achieve 99.9999% efficacy.
“This is a 100-fold improvement compared to rival products.
“Yet Sanify items remain non-toxic, non-irritant, and PH neutral for the skin.”
