ROLE OF GOOD BACTERIA. "Though people can survive without gut flora, (they) perform a host of useful functions ... fermenting unused energy substrates, training the immune system, preventing growth of harmful, pathogenic bacteria, regulating the development of the gut, producing vitamins for the host ... and producing hormones to direct the host to store fats." http://lnkd.in/d5Kw3zC View in LinkedIn

"MICROGEN is the only enterprise in Russia producing bacteriophages on an industrial scale. The Scientific and Production Association Microgen was established in May 2003 as a result of the merger of state-owned enterprises producing medical immunobiological products and other medical drugs." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgen View in LinkedIn

SWIMMING POOLS AND HUMAN ORGANIC MATTER. "Highly toxic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) form from reactions between pool disinfectants and organic matter, including hair, skin, sweat, dirt and… urine. In a new study, researchers mixed uric acid from human urine with chlorine and found it creates two DBPs: cyanogen chloride (CNCl) and trichloramine (NCl3)." An exemplar for other human protein reactions. http://lnkd.in/d7D-rJ6 View in LinkedIn

PHAGES IN MEDICINES have a long tradition in Russia. "A major Soviet pharmacological giant, Microgen, has now taken over all of the commercial phage production in Russia, and a wide variety of their phage preparations are available in pharmacies as well as on line." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3278644/ View in LinkedIn

THE OBVIOUS EXPERIMENT that appears lacking is to administer chlorinated water to a fed animal, and examine the gut fluids for disinfectant byproducts (DBPs). And then to a human after a range of different foods. It is highly probable that DBPs would be found, and given the volumes, in rather high concentrations. The same for steam from a shower and lung fluids. View in LinkedIn

PHAGES IN US CLINICAL TRIAL: "in 2008, FDA officials approved the first phage phase I clinical trial evaluating phage ... used a cocktail containing eight phages ... and the trial included 42 patients with venous leg ulcers. The trial results fully supported the safety of the complex, multiphage preparation in the infected patients." http://lnkd.in/digJGBR View in LinkedIn

CHLORINE REACTS WITH ORGANIC MATTER, to form hundreds of carcinogenic or toxic purification byproducts (DBPs), and a big focus of regulatory considerations is to remove organics before chlorination. But as we drink chlorinated water, our stomachs contain high concentrations of organic matter. How much is known about the formation of DPBs in the gut? View in LinkedIn

CO2 increases can diminish nutrition in crops. View in LinkedIn

STUNNING LACK OF LITERATURE on the obvious: (1) chlorine reacts with organic material in water to make hundreds of carcinogenic byproducts; (2) epidemiology shows a significant portion of GI cancers are correlated with chlorinated drinking water; (3) the gut is full of organic matter; (4) drinking water is full of chlorine; (5) the missing experiments? (6) Chlorine reactions with gut contents. View in LinkedIn

FDA POLICY on phage safety is still not settled. "Despite this safety record, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did not have guidelines for reviewing bacteriophage preparations until recently, and those guidelines are not yet fully finalized." http://lnkd.in/digJGBR View in LinkedIn
