Abstract
Provided is an oxidative reduction potential (ORP) water solution that is stable for at least twenty-four hours and methods of using the solution. The present invention provides a method of preventing or treating a condition in a patient, which method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of the ORP water solution. Additionally provided is a method of treating impaired or damaged tissue, which method comprises contacting the tissue with a therapeutically effective amount of the ORP water solution. Further provided is a method of disinfecting a surface, which method comprises contacting the surface with an anti-infective amount of the ORP water solution.
Claims5
A method of treating an infection caused by bacteria in a patient, the method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an oxidative reductive potential water solution, wherein the solution is stable for at least two months and wherein the bacteria is selected from the group consisting of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus, wherein the solution has a pH of from 7.4 to 7.6, wherein the solution comprises anode water and cathode water, wherein the solution contains a total amount of free chlorine species from 50 ppm to 80 ppm, wherein the free chlorine species is selected from the group consisting of hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ions, sodium hypochlorite, chlorite ions, chloride ions, chlorine dioxide, dissolved chlorine gas, and mixtures thereof, wherein the free chlorine species comprises from 15 ppm to 35 ppm hypochlorous acid and from 25 ppm to 50 ppm sodium hypochlorite, and wherein the solution comprises chlorine dioxide in an amount of from about 0.01 ppm to about 5 ppm.
