The swine flu (aka H1N1) isn’t really a hot topic anymore (when compared to the situation a few months ago), but it still remains a big problem. Today Sanyo of all companies made an announcement in Tokyo (press release in English), claiming their “electrolyzed water technology” has proven to be actually effective in fighting the nasty virus.

Sanyo claims that their new technology, jointly developed with the Gunma Prefectural Institute of Public Health and Environmental Sciences in central Japan, is at least 99% effective in suppressing infectivity for H1N1 (the virus was exposed to electrolyzed water for ten minutes after which this viral infectivity reduction effect was observed). A mixture with tap water served as an example for a viral infectivity residual ratio of 100%.

Sanyo says their water destroys the “spikes” of the swine flu viruses, which then can’t stick to human cells anymore to cause the illness.

The company is pretty active in the field of “virus neutralization”. In June 2008, for example, it presented a “virus washer system” that’s now in place in a number of movie theaters in Japan and kills off odors, bacteria, viruses and pollen even in large spaces.

  • As saying goes desperate times requires desperate measure. It seems like it has gone overboard with the so called ‘Cure’, and sad to witness such well known company milking the situation even further. This is nothing more but seafood ‘crab’ ends with a ‘p’.

  • Where’s the cure for ‘Common’ flu ?

  • Unless you understand the technology, why be so negative? I have seen it work first hand. You cannot refute science or the numbers. Electrolyzed water kills just about everything you can put it in contact with and it is not harmful to humans or animals at suggested levels. So why Dave are you so intent on being right? Because you are very wrong.

    And Sanyo has every right to be excited to have something to help with this problem. I would imagine if you had a positive thought every once in a while you would see the value of taking an age old technology and actually doing something positive with it.

    Just a thought…..
