NTS Table Top Machine

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

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…

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.

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. 

Not only have these bacteria caused major food outbreaks, illness/death and rising public concern, they have also devastated farmers and impacted food industries at the cost of millions of dollars in lost revenue and even bankruptcy in some cases as a direct result.  You ask…”Can’t the FDA and the Food Safety Industry do something about this?”   The answer…“Yes it can, and it starts at the source”.  NatureTech Solutions, Inc. (NTS) can substantially mitigate these bacteria using proven technology and methods that have been developed, studied and perfected over the last several years.  This technology has been clinically tested by leading universities and scientific labs in the USA and throughout the world.  The concentrated solution produced (commonly known as electrolyzed water) is extremely powerful against bacteria’s and viruses, yet, benign to humans and animals.

What frustrates me is why the State and Federal governments, as well as the Food Industry, continue to drag their feet and, seemingly, make no visible attempt to acknowledge or utilize a technology that has been proven, time and again, to work so efficiently.  There are several national and international companies that produce such machines.  While the use of these electrolytic machines has gained wide acceptance in Europe and Asia, America continues to resist their use.  Why is our government so slow to protect its citizens?

NTS (an American company) manufactures the equipment that produces, on site, a liquid solution (called NEWaterã) to kill bacteria and viruses at the source…a simple, yet, highly cost effective means to attack and rid the problems caused by Salmonella and E coli.

As related and applied to food safety, this natural, eco-green product has been fully approved by USDA (meat and poultry) and FDA has no objection of its use on produce.  Even so, the food industry remains hesitant to implement this alternative and safe technology while continuing to rely on toxic chemicals…in an effort, I wonder, to protect the chemical industry.

The consumer should be angered and incensed by what is happening.  While farmers are excited at the prospect of employing this non-toxic and cost effective green technology, it seems unknowledgeable (or resistant) industry regulators are (for whatever reasons) unwilling to revise food safety regulations, adopt new methods, promote its efficacy, encourage green technology or defend the technology’s broad spectrum of application and benefit.  In spite of the apparent lack of governmental or industry support, there are more and more innovative and entrepreneurial farmers who, witnessing successful on-site testing with proven results, are recognizing the enormous value of electrolyzed water.  Further, they are now willing to embrace and implement this amazing technology on realizing how efficient and relatively inexpensive the NTS system is to implement and operate—coupled with the tremendous cost savings and convenience of being able to produce one’s own natural solutions—over that of purchasing/storing expensive, traditional toxic chemicals.  Better still, they applaud and welcome the in-depth benefits to the environment (people, animals, fields, crops, water, etc.) and the fact that the liquid solution can be easily produced on site 24/7 or on demand when needed.

For decades, the most widely common product used to kill bacteria has been…and, unfortunately, continues to be…Chlorine.  It is a harsh, chemical-based, toxic remedy that must be used with caution and stored carefully.  When applied to water treatment systems, for instance, Chlorine does not prevent bio-film build-up in water lines, as electrolyzed water does.  If untreated, water lines can become a high-risk source for a potential deadly outbreak of Legionnaires Disease.   Conversely, electrolyzed water is proven to be “naturally” safe and performs at a rate more powerful than Chlorine.  Yet, electrolyzed water is totally eco-green and non-harmful to humans, animals and earth as its only ingredients are totally natural elements…salt and water.

The following categories are examples of “where and how” electrolyzed water can be applied safely (when observing documented and varying dose ratios as recommended by NTS) to protect the food industry and consumers against massive bacterial outbreaks:

• Livestock (cows, beef, hogs, chickens, ducks, etc.)—i.e. treating drinking water, fogging animals to rid bacteria inside (digestive tracks) and outside (external surfaces).  Specific dosing ratios provided by NTS.
• Egg and Dairy Production—i.e. washing/rinsing eggs to remove fecal matter, sterilizing all equipment, cleaning/ sterilizing processing areas between product batches to avoid cross-contamination.
• Produce—washing prior to packaging for distribution and grocers’ subsequent misting of produce displays to extend shelf life.
• Processing Facilities—washing/sterilizing all equipment and processing areas—including cutting boards, mixing utensils, conveyer lines, floors and walls.  Fogging of processing rooms, chillers and air handling coils. Spraying of meat and poultry carcasses prior to distribution.

Thankfully, there IS an answer!  NTS solutions attack and kill bacteria at the source to not only resolve food contamination issues, but to decrease and control such occurrences—whether the cause originates from within or beyond our borders.  Further, use of this phenomenal technology greatly minimizes monetary damages, mitigates risk management and reduces health issues related to major food safety crises.  Prevention is the obvious answer and real cure rather than endure the mounting and compounding cost factors, inconvenience and waste that are routinely generated by regulatory agencies at the expense of crop and livestock farmers, processors, distributors, grocers and tax payers.  In the end, though, a vast majority of unwarranted costs are simply passed along to (and penalize) the consumer needlessly, case after case.  If consumers had a real choice, there’s no question they would prefer the “penalties” were applied to a long-term investiture in sound ways and means that would provide them with a great return on their investment in the form of reliable protection and confidence.

There’s even more to meet the eye about currently available food safety and consumer protection products.  In addition to the NTS green technology process described above, that sanitizes food prior to distribution, are you aware there is also a remarkable micro-technology (in place and immediately available) to “track, trace and authenticate” food shipments not only through America’s “farm to fork” process, but this system can also transcend to track food imports from foreign markets?  Created and developed to identify the origin and movement of products and shipments in general, this futuristic technology is especially applicable to food products moving along the food chain.  This American system has the ability to accurately pinpoint the location and/or source of a problem when an instance occurs—within hours…not weeks or months later—all without penalizing a whole industry or subjecting the population to needless safety concerns or potential health hazards. 

While stick-on produce labels have been government mandated to identify country of origin, this “band-aid” approach fails miserably and is incapable of providing comprehensive, meaningful and immediate information as it is light years behind the here and now, state of the art, “track, trace and authenticate” micro-system currently available.  Available, of course, IF our government agencies and the food industry councils really were interested to implement “tracking” for the simple sake of American consumer safety—let alone possibly think it should be included in Homeland Security’s arsenal for national protection against potential bio-terrorism concerns targeting our food and water supply.  Some food for thought!

At any rate, I am sure you have noticed that the John Q. Public seems to get stuck paying the price tag (in one form or another) for others’ mistakes…usually in higher prices, surcharges or taxes.  Whether it concerns product recalls, food outbreaks, stimulus packages or bailouts…the cost somehow trickles down to the public who gets to bear the burden without any substantial relief.  Enough is enough!!  It is time for consumers to demand their officials be accountable or replace them at the first opportunity.  With the new administration’s view on “change” and “yes, we can”, please be sure to contact your local, state and federal representatives to let them know exactly what you want “changed“ about the unacceptable lack of food safety, toxic chemical food washes, ecological damage, poor sanitation, cross-contamination of foods during processing and/or transportation, etc.  As always, you are invited to submit your comments and share your opinions with other readers of this blog. 

Until next time, NTS continues to “protect people and food…naturally”.
