  • Patent number: 6287551
    Abstract: A solution or gel composition containing activated chlorine dioxide and phosphates, such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate, and sodium monofluorophosphate, is disclosed for treating herpes virus. The preferred concentration ranges are between about 0.005% to about 2.0% chlorine dioxide, and between about 0.02% to about 3.0% of a phosphate compound. The phosphate compound retards escape of chlorine dioxide in the pH range of 6.0 to 7.4, at which pH chlorine dioxide becomes activated and releases sufficient chlorine dioxide to reduce motility and become lethal to the involved micro-organisms.

  • Patent number: 6280716
    Abstract: A method and solution or gel topical preparation containing chlorine dioxide and a phosphate compound, such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate, and sodium monofluorophosphate, is disclosed for treating itching of the vagina. The preferred concentration ranges are between about 0.005% to about 2.0% chlorine dioxide, and between about 0.02% to about 3.0% phosphate compound. The phosphate compound retards escape of chlorine dioxide in the pH range of about 6.0 to 7.4, at which pH chlorine dioxide becomes activated and releases sufficient chlorine dioxide to reduce motility and become lethal to the involved micro-organisms.

  • Patent number: 6274132
    Abstract: A method and solution or gel composition containing activated chlorine dioxide and phosphates, such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate, and sodium monofluorophosphate, is disclosed for lubricating the vagina and for treating HIV. The preferred concentration ranges are between about 0.005% to about 2.0% chlorine dioxide, and between about 0.02% to about 3.0% phosphate. The phosphate compound retards escape of chlorine dioxide in the pH range of about 6.0 to 7.4, at which pH the chlorine dioxide becomes activated and releases sufficient chlorine dioxide to reduce motility and become lethal to the involved micro-organisms.

  • Patent number: 6029746
    Abstract: A self-excited jet stimulation tool for cleaning and stimulating wells includes an elongated tubular first member adapted on an upper end for connection to a running string. The first member includes an upper portion with a central bore open to a top of the tool, and a lower portion having a cylindrical shaped cavity open to a bottom surface of the first member. The cylindrical cavity is internally threaded in a lower portion. The central bore of the first member is open to the cylindrical cavity for communication of fluids supplied by the running string. The tool further includes an elongated tubular second member having a top with a central flat circular portion and a central bore with a diameter larger than the diameter of the central bore of the first member but less than the diameter of the cylindrical cavity of the first member.
