Electrically hydrolyzed salines as in vivo microbicides for treatment of cardiomyopathy and multiple sclerosis

Abstract

A method of treating antigen related infections is disclosed which comprises subjecting a dilute normal saline solution to electrical hydrolysis with adequate voltage to produce a solution containing bioactive microbicidal atoms, radicals or ions selected from the group consisting of chloride , ozone, hydroxide, hypochlorite, peroxide, chlorine dioxide, and oxygen with corresponding amounts of molecular hydrogen and sodium and hydrogen ions. The solution is balanced to normal saline with hypertonic saline. The injecting of effective amounts of the balanced solution intravenously into a warm blooded animal affected by an antigenic related infection results in a microbicidal action which mimics or enhances action of the free radicals produced in vivo as a result of respiratory bursts. The balanced saline solution may be injected along with the administration of moderating and/or neutralizing amounts of antioxidants or reducing agents such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, MPO or other suitable peroxidase, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, ascorbic acid or other suitable agents. The moderating antioxidants and/or neutralizing agents are preferably administered orally prior to the administration of the saline solution with additional amounts of ascorbic acid being administered intravenously following injection of the saline. The microbicidal effects of the saline solution may be enhanced by the coadministration of effective amounts of colchicine or other enhancing agents.
