Patent number: 5679711Abstract: The invention concerns the discovery of the surprising and unexpected therapeutic effects of hydroxyl ions. The observed medicinal properties of these ions are both novel and broad in scope. The acute corrosive effects and toxicity of hydroxyl ions on living tissue has previously overwhelmed their therapeutic attributes. Unique hydroxyl ion modulating compounds have been discovered and are within the scope of the invention. When used appropriately as companions with hydroxyl ions, these modulating compounds obviate and attenuate the harmful effects of hydroxyl ions, unmasking and revealing their previously unknown and undemonstratable therapeutic properties. These hydroxyl ion modulating compounds do not significantly interfere with the surprising and unexpected therapeutic benefits of the hydroxyl ions. The novel hydroxyl ion modulating compounds are generally characterized as N,N-disubstituted-aminoalkanoate salts and substituted N,N-substituted-aminoalkanoate salts.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: October 21, 1997Assignee: FHJ Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Delton R.

Patent number: 5585391Abstract: The invention concerns the discovery of the surprising and unexpected therapeutic effects of hydroxyl ions. The observed medicinal properties of these ions are both novel and broad in scope. The acute corrosive effects and toxicity of hydroxyl ions on living tissue has previously overwhelmed their therapeutic attributes. Unique hydroxyl ion modulating compounds have been discovered and are within the scope of the invention. When used appropriately as companions with hydroxyl ions, these modulating compounds obviate and attenuate the harmful effects of hydroxyl ions, unmasking and revealing their previously unknown and undemonstratable therapeutic properties. These hydroxyl ion modulating compounds do not significantly interfere with the surprising and unexpected therapeutic benefits of the hydroxyl ions. The novel hydroxyl ion modulating compounds are generally characterized as N,N-disubstituted-aminoacetate salts and substituted N,N-substituted-aminoacetate salts.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1993Date of Patent: December 17, 1996Assignee: FHJ Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Delton R. Carrell, Edward J. Cragoe, Jr.
