NTS Table Top Machine
NatureTech Solutions Inc. [NTS] is expanding it’s product line of electrolyzed water machines by introducing its smart SE-10 model.  These machines utilize modern technology that is designed to improve the health and safety issues of consumers and work-staff. This newest device is a compact, table-top model superbly suited for use in the restaurant, fast food, convenience store, and food service industries (as well as in the agriculture, dairy and produce sectors) where expense and space limitations may be an issue. Like its commercial-size cousins, this economical machine is specifically engineered to generate two solutions simultaneously–specifically, hypochlorous acid [Anolyte--natural sanitizer] and sodium hydroxide [Catholyte--natural cleaner]. Because of it’s antibacterial properties, the hypochlorous acid is a powerful sanitizer [a non-chemical, non-toxic solution] that is EPA, FDA and USDA approved for use in areas where workplace safety and food safety concerns are paramount.  The sodium hydroxide is a cutting-edge de-greaser and cleaner…again, based on non-chemical, non-toxic properties. The cleaning solution is highly effective on hard surfaces, counter-tops, work areas, stoves, ovens, pots and most greasy surfaces.  When poured directly into drains, it cuts bio-film build-up and eradicates Listeria.

Availability of the SE-10 brings great news for all Management Teams who oversee food safety concerns in restaurants, fast food chains, convenience stores, etc.  Of critical importance to note for this watchdog group is how easily the sanitizer can be utilized as an anti-microbial disinfectant to protect their staff and consumers against H1N1 — aka swine flu.  Further, when salad components are being prepared on-site and cut or loose produce is lightly misted with the all natural sanitizer, this provides added protection against E Coli and/or Salmonella contamination. This food prep procedure (prior to set-out, plating and/or serving) does not alter taste or texture and is 100% completely safe for human consumption.    

The SE-10′s footprint is a mere 12 x 11 x 11 inches…the perfect size for not only the core of food service businesses discussed above, but this little dynamo is also substantial enough to generate adequate amounts of sanitizing and cleaning solutions to supply small agricultural venues like livestock farms (dairy, goat, chicken, hog, etc.), produce growers and cheese production facilities. Once this scientific technology is fully explained and demonstrated first hand, coupled by impressive ”before and after” test results, one will more readily begin to understand how such simplicity actually creates notable day-to-day savings and reduces overall operation costs. Just think, when a facility is able to produce their own natural sanitizer and cleaner…in amounts needed and on demand using only water, salt and electricity, this voids the uncertainty in fluctuating chemical pricing, provides powerful alternatives stronger than Chlorine, improves workplace environment and so much more. 

For more information on this outstanding, forward technology, please contact NTS and include type of business, any questions or targeted requirements of interest.  Thank you.

NTS & USDA Working Together

April 7, 2010

 

On April 21, 2009 Roman Fyk of NatureTech Solutions Inc and Kathleen T. Raijkowski of the USDA, ARS, ERRC labs in their Food Safety Intervention Technology Research Unit based in Wyndmoor, PA agreed to a Material Transfer Agreement between the parties.

The agreement is for NatureTech Solutions Inc. (NTS) to provide ARS with their electrochemical activation generator (electrolyzed water system) and know-how, the Material, and for ARS to use fluids generated by NTS machine for their studies.

NTS machine produces Anolyte, an acidic solution which is positively charged Hypochlorous acid. This Hypochlorous acid is generated at a range between 6.5 and 7.4 pH and has a non toxic Free Available Chlorine of 500+ ppm.

The solution will be used to determine its sanitizing effects on decontamination of raw seafood and equipment and the strength of the Anolyte needed to produce the desired reduction. The Anolyte solution will be used as a pre-wash before individual quick freezing of the seafood and in glaze applied after freezing prior to storage. Testing and results may not be concluded up to 2 years from the start of this testing.

NTS is proud of being the provider of their Green Based technology Machine for the purposes of this study. To consumers and green technology advocate this represents another step forward of how the government and industries work together for the safety for the foods we eat and at the same time how to work hand in hand to protect Mother Earth.

Future results will be posted as additional information is released.

Thank You, Roman Fyk, President NTS

100% Kill Of H1N1

October 3, 2009

With so much being reported, these days, about H1N1 (Swine Flu) and the mounting cases being counted, here and abroad, it is no wonder there has been an increasing rate of concern among people seeking answers for protection and prevention. To date, attention has been mainly focused on the development of pharmaceutical vaccines for “protection” coupled with a public awareness campaign to employ increased self-help measures (hygiene and changed habits) for “prevention”. Lost in the fray, however, is our government’s reluctance to acknowledge or use a readily available, all natural solution (known as Anolyte) to mitigate, for instance, the H1N1 flu epidemic.

The electrolyzed water technology was originally developed in Russia over 4 decades ago. For years, thereafter, renowned universities and institutions (the world over) studied, tested and proved that Anolyte (the non-toxic liquid generated by this scientific breakthrough), did, in fact, achieve stunning results when tested against disease causing viruses and other applications. Ongoing academic clinical research continues to prove and re-confirm that Anolyte is 100% effective against an extensive array of viruses…to include H1N1.

Earlier this year, other companies (now engaging in the emergent field of electrolyzed water here in the USA) have released reports to support their recent H1N1 findings. Based on the results of their tests, these published reports describe how this technology and, most specifically, the fluids it produces, are capable of protecting humanity against the H1N1 pandemic. Reports like these are all very well and good, but not, exactly, new knowledge. This information does, however, further serve to confirm the overwhelming effectiveness of Anolyte and lend a collective voice in support of the ever-growing industry to herald the list of benefits derived from Anolyte’s properties…not to mention its commercial value when pitted against costly vaccines and potential side-effects/risks.

I am very pleased to say that, in 2007, NatureTech Solutions, Inc. was considerably ahead of the curve. In late fall that year, NTS commissioned a study with Dr. Huaguang Lu at Penn State…Avian Virologist, Senior Research Associate, Head of Avian Virology Section, Animal Diagnostic Laboratory, Dept. of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at The Pennsylvania State University. The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy of NTS Anolyte against a host of viruses.

In April 2008, I received Dr. Lu’s report, and we were both ecstatic at seeing the test results…briefly detailed below. The complete study included various strains of the avian flu virus…including H1N1…and other important avian viruses. These extraordinary findings were provided to several government/state agencies, health departments and news media. To date, response has come from the State of Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) and USDA labs. With growing concerns being manifested about various predictions and potential effects that the H1N1 flu could have in the work place, PDA began their own in-house testing to evaluate, first hand, the practical application and effectiveness of Anolyte in an effort to protect the work force in their facility and to offset the anticipated rate of elevated absenteeism. PDA is extremely pleased with the results to date and further encourages NTS to expand testing in other fields of use and application ranging from dairy to agriculture. Meanwhile, as I previously reported, USDA continues to conduct their own studies to determine how Anolyte can possibly be used in fish processing to make products safer for the consumer.

Following is Dr. Lu’s study for your interest…

Project Title: Evaluation of the “Anolyte Water” or “Neutral Electrolyzed Water” Disinfectant Solution on Inactivation of Avian Influenza Virus and Other Avian Viruses

Tests were conducted on 6 levels—each to determine the effects of the Anolyte Water solution on inactivation of:

  1. Avian influenza Virus (AIV)

Ten avian influenza viruses were tested against: H1N1, N2N2, H3N2, H4N8, H5N2, H5N3, H5N9, H6N8, H7N2 AND N9N1.

  1. Paramyxoviruses (PMV) and Newcastle disease virus (NDV, or PMV-1)

  1. Infectious Bronchitis virus (IBV)

  1. Fowl Adenovirus (FAV)

Four FAV strains of M2, KR5, C229 and LA/SPF/C

  1. Avian Reovirus: 10 field isolates of avian reovirus were used

  1. Pigeon’s Herpervirous: 10 field isolates of pigeon herpervirous were used.

The results of the Dr. Lu’s study, conducted in behalf of NTS, concluded that all 40 subject viruses were 100% inactivated with a 1:2 & 1:5 dilution ratio within 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min and 120 min reaction time tested. NTS provided its own brand (“NEWater”) of the Anolyte water fluid for use in this study…at a pH of 6.7, Oxidation Reduction (ORP) of 910 and Free Available Chlorine (FAC) of 400 parts per million. Another name common to Anolyte is Hypochlorous Acid (the human body produces Hypochlorous Acid naturally as part of its immune system). Dilution of Anolyte to the 1:2 and 1:5 ratio was accomplished using sterile distilled water or deionized water.

I am very proud of the work and results achieved by Dr. Lu and, prouder still, of my team of dedicated NTS staff members. At NTS, our team works continuously to develop this earth friendly, green technology in ways to provide mankind new methods to resolve numerous and distinct issues. NTS is focused on creating a brighter, cleaner, non-toxic future for the planet and its inhabitants (people, livestock, crops). While NTS may still be considered a small company, our capability, know-how and ideas are huge.

Should you wish to receive the full NTS report outlined above, please let us know. We will get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, I thank you for taking your time to read this blog…and encourage you to share it with your friends and associates. At NTS, we continue to provide new answers to resolve old problems…naturally.

NTS Prepares To Go Global

September 28, 2009

Recently, the marketing and sales capacity of NatureTech Solutions, Inc. (NTS) grew strategically. It was strengthened and enhanced when Aquaox LTD of the Netherlands agreed to combine forces with NTS to promote the universal expansion of electrolyzed water technology world-wide.  Both companies are privately held and will channel their efforts for mutual benefit.

Marco van Schaik, President/Aquaox and Roman Fyk, President/NTS  have been working diligently for the last two years to solidify their comprehensive agreement and consolidate joint resources. Further, it was agreed between the parties that NTS will concentrate on North and South America, Canada, Mexico and those countires in between while Aquaox will focus on Europe, Mid-East, Africa and the Asian rim. Aquaox is based in Soset, The Netherlands while NTS is based in Lancaster, PA USA.

The projected growth of NTS was further enhanced when Marco’s brother, Michel van Schaik, arrived in Lancaster PA on August 20, 2009 to join the NTS corporate staff as Vice President of Operations.  He will also take charge of R & D, in behalf of both NTS and Aquaox, specifically to invent technical equipment, develop new products, and streamline the expansion of this technology.

Micel’s value to NTS is immeasurable as he brings to the table 14 years of expertise and knowledge in this industry. His goals, as ours, is to continue inventing components for the evolutionary expansion of this scientifically based, techo-green technology. The “engine” that drives these machines is an electronic generator or cell. Michel is one of very few people that has the actual experience and ability to create a cell that can provide a continuous generation of Hypochlorous Acid (a substance also created in humans to support their bodily immune system) at 500+ parts per million. This is in keeping with growing efforts, and the world trend, to impart Green Technology and our contribution to make the global environment a safer place without the use of potentially toxic chemicals and status quo methods.

One direction of expansion for NTS will be to work more closely with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Food Safety & Laboratory Services in Harrisburg as headed by Bill Chirdon to address and mitigate mounting food and health issues through implementation of this Technology. Michel and Ralph Lambert/Chief Engineer for NTS will become hands-on involved with this and other state and federal agencies to analyze issues and determine possible alternatives.

In the near future, I will be posting a new blog specifically to feature the outstanding results of lab tests conducted on Anolyte, one of NTS’ solutions, that was proven beyond a shadow of doubt to annialate all known strains of the Avian flu virus.  Stay tuned.

As always, I am happy to answer your questions and to also tell you about the many ways NTS can help you lower costs and improve your bottom line.  I invite you to contact us at info@naturetechsolotions.com and briefly tell us about what types of sanitation problems and/or cleanliness issues your facility may be experiencing.  I will respond as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Roman Fyk, President

Dairy Farming…Raw Milk

May 7, 2009

Lykens, PA – When Steve Fisher (Swiss Villa Dairy / Lykens, PA) and Roman Fyk (NatureTech Solutions Inc. / Lancaster, PA) first met, it was to discuss new organic technology and methods currently available to address the concerns of today’s dairy farmers…specifically, how to raise a healthier dairy herd in a safer environment without the use of any toxic chemicals.  Also attending the meeting to learn more about this emerging technology were representatives from the PA Department of Agriculture that included — Bill Chirdon, Director PDA Food Safety, 2 PDA Dairy Inspectors and other interested parties. 

 

Fyk explained his NTS system could easily achieve Fisher’s goals by simply using electricity and natural elements…salt and water…to create two very powerful and distinct, biodegradable solutions (neutral electrolyzed water) to sanitize and clean.  In addition to the technology’s enormous benefits, Fyk pointed out that the NTS unit generated two different natural solutions simultaneously—1) a pH neutral organic sanitizer (10-20 times stronger than chlorine, yet, totally safe to humans/animals even at full concentration) and 2) an earth friendly surfactant/degreasing detergent (to clean/dissolve bio-film and protein). 

 

Even though skeptical of the data espoused by Fyk, Fisher was intrigued by far reaching possibilities and agreed to run test trials at his farm.  PDA Dairy Inspectors performed a series of specific tests over a period of several weeks.  NTS provided samples of its organic sanitizing and cleaning solutions for these testing purposes.

 

PDA Trials—NTS Sanitizer (Anolyte):  Test results at the Swiss Villa Dairy confirmed that by treating legs/hooves, udder, body, drinking water, milking cups, pre- and post- treatment procedures with the NTS sanitizing solution, it created healthier more productive cows and safer raw milk for consumers without the need of any chemical based products.  Several other uses (for treating sick cows) were also identified and successfully treated.  Additionally, academic studies noted in their findings that typically pungent farm odors, as emitted from urine and manure, could be substantially reduced when treated with Anolyte. 

 

PDA Trials—NTS Detergent (Catholyte):  During the trials, a broad spectrum of bacteria was targeted—on milk tanks, milk lines, bottling equipment and milk bottles.  Tests confirmed that the NTS detergent/cleaning solution met and/or surpassed the standard results associated with chemical cleaning applications without the toxic backlash. 

 

A variety of test samples, as collected from Swiss Villa Dairy, were clinically analyzed.  The proven results verified Fyk’s assertions, in that, the wealth of organic benefits embodied in the two solutions produced by his NTS neutral electrolyzed water system were completely accurate.  Overjoyed by the confirming results, Fisher was truly convinced the “NTS system was the perfect answer for his needs” and subsequently purchased a uni for extensive use on his farm.

 

Fisher is “tickled pink”, as he puts it, about his investment in this progressive and safe technology.  Spreading the news to the farming community, he is “telling everyone” how completely amazed he is with the results achieved by using only organic solutions.  This Amish dairy farmer continues to be impressed with the high performance of the NTS machine that generates chemical-free sanitizing and cleaning solutions on site, whenever he needs it.  Fisher acknowledges that use of this technology has not only increased milk production and milk fat content, but has also dramatically lowered somatic cell counts, eradicated bacterial presence in raw milk (E Coli, Salmonella, Listeria), improved health of livestock and alleviated many of his former concerns about certain public health issues.  Fisher’s avid support of this earth friendly technology (and numerous benefits derived) will help ensure that his PA Amish dairy farm continues to be a leader in the production of premium quality raw milk for years to come.  “Tradition and Technology…working side-by-side.”

 

The NTS Neutral Electrolyzed Water system produces extremely potent and cost effective sanitizing and cleaning solutions under its NEWater© brand.  Its durable, commercial grade machine conveniently generates solutions on site 24/7 or on demand as needed.  The active components of NEWater© are non-toxic, non-irritating, biodegradable and benign to humans/animals with zero environmental impact.
