  • Patent number: 6692775
    Abstract: A gel formulation is combined with a bactericidal concentrate which is a liquid mixture of about 1000 parts by volume of ultra pure water having an electrical resistance of 16-26 megohms, total dissolved solids of less than 0.04 parts per million and a specific conductance of less than 0.10 mho with about 1.2 to 3 parts by volume of Willard Water as prepared in accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 3,893,943. The bactericidal liquid concentrate in the amount of 3.5 to 12 ml in one liter of gel formulation is applied directly to a skin surface area having a burn or other dermal lesion to protect the area from bacterial contamination.

  • Patent number: 6685969
    Abstract: Ectoparasites, such as fleas, ticks, mites and lice, are removed from a human or animal host after applying a composition that causes the temperature of the treated area to become higher or lower than normal. In one embodiment, treatment is effected by applying a composition that releases heat when contacted with water. The elevated or decreased temperature immobilizes the parasites and facilitates their mechanical removal, such as by combing.

  • Patent number: 6627229
    Abstract: An antiviral agent of an antiviral ability against various viruses and a method of producing the same are provided. A heat treatment is applied to a calcium-containing substance represented by calcium carbonate-containing substances originating from the animal such as clamshell, eggshell, crustacean shell, bone, coral, and pearl, and calcium carbonate-containing minerals such as limestone. When a temperature of the heat treatment is not less than 650° C. and less than a melting point of the calcium component-containing substance, a sufficient time of the heat treatment is 2 to 13 hours.
