There are over 300 species of bacteria in the mouth that are associated with disease. Triclosan is effective against most of the bacteria or microorganisms found in the oral cavity. For how long do we claim it is effective? It has been shown to provide protection for up to 12 hours.

The WaterPure™ water generation process utilizes high intensity UV (ultra violet) to eliminate any microorganisms including bacteria and viruses. Ultra violet Light has been used for over 50 years to purify water and is accepted by the United States Public Health Service as a standard methodology for water treatment. Test results of WaterPure™ water measured 99.9% purity, far exceeding EPA requirements.

Yes. Brush twice a day with Colgate Total and you'll know your teeth are cleaner and your breath will be fresher around the clock.

Germs are tiny organisms, or living things, that can cause disease. Germs are so small and sneaky that they creep into our bodies without being noticed. In fact, germs are so tiny that you need to use a microscope to see them. When they get in our bodies, we don't know what hit us until we have symptoms that say we've been attacked!

Inside the Super Water System QFL OziPure 2000, a patented process is used to produce ozone which is mixed with the filtered water. Ozone not only kills bacteria, viruses, parasite but reacts with chemicals in the water and converts them into non harmful componds. Ozone is one of the most powerful disinfectants available in the market today. Ozone kills germs and bacteria 3000 times faster than chlorine and does not leave any residue behind it.

All Colgate Total toothpastes contain a unique formula that fights today's most common oral health problems, including cavities, plaque, tartar buildup, gum problems, and bad breath. The Colgate Total formula is so revolutionary it's even patented. Its active ingredient is Triclosan, which is used to help reduce plaque and gum problems. The Gantrez copolymer enables Triclosan to continue working in the mouth for 12 hours.

Triclosan, an antibacterial ingredient, held in place by Gantrez, a copolymer, attaches to teeth, protecting them for 12 hours.

By themselves, total coliform bacteria are not a health problem. However, the presence of coliform implies that the system has been compromised and harmful organisms may already be present or have the opportunity to enter the system. Since it is impossible to test for the presence of all possible harmful microorganisms, if coliforms are found in the drinking water, the water should be considered unsafe for human consumption and corrective measures taken.

If your well contains Total Coliform and/or E. coli bacteria, you are advised not to use your well water for drinking or cooking until the well has undergone a shock chlorination treatment. The well should be properly treated with chlorine (bleach), resampled, and determined to be free of Total Coliform and/or E. coli before using for drinking and cooking. For information on how to chlorinate your well or sampling your well contact your County Health Department.

Germs are found all over the world, in all kinds of places. There are four major types of germs: bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. They can invade plants, animals, and people, and sometimes they make us sick. Bacteria (back-teer-ee-uh) are tiny, one-cell creatures that get nutrients from their environment in order to live. In some cases that environment is the human body. Bacteria can reproduce outside of the body or within the body as they cause infections.

Many germs are spread through the air in sneezes, coughs, or even breaths. Germs can also spread in sweat, saliva and blood. Some pass from person to person by touching something that is contaminated, like shaking hands with someone who has a cold and then touching your own nose. So the best way to protect yourself from germs is to steer clear of the things that can spread them: Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze and cover your mouth when you cough to keep from spreading germs.

Possibly, but in the absence of additional independent testing we cannot be assured that is so. There are possibly millions of variants of bacteria and viruses that can cause illness in humans. It is impractical to test against all of those and each individual test is both time consuming and expensive. Virogard testing has been focussed on the more common concerns and additional testing will be undertaken as the need arises. We are planning on full trials with TB in 2008.

Like SO2, a few lactic strains show resistance to lysozyme. Bench-top trials MUST be performed to determine the effectiveness and correct addition rate of lysozyme for your wine. If the lactic population is below 106 cfu/mL and MLF has started, use 150-400 ppm of lysozyme now. If the population is above 106 cfu/mL, wait for MLF to complete and immediately add 150-400 ppm of lysozyme. Lysozyme cannot be removed by filtration.

Bacteria are a major group of living organisms. Bacteria are both harmful and useful to the environment, animals including humans. The role of bacteria in disease and infection is important. Some bacteria act as pathogens and cause deseases and illness.

There are many different types of skin so it is impossible to say that acidic water is ideal as a skin treatment. It has been shown to be an effective skin treatment in medical situations.

Many medical researchers are becoming increasingly concerned about the emergence of "super" germs that have developed a resistance to antibiotic drugs. Olive leaf is increasingly used in Europe as a replacement for synthetic antibiotics. In the USA, olive leaf is being used by a growing number of medical practitioners to combat bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts and more. To combat this unseen enemy, medical scientists have created ever-stronger antibiotics.
