what about aerobic bacteria, they live without oxygen.

You raise a good point, although don't you mean anaerobic bacteria like botulism? The thing is, Clostridium botulinum is dangerous in foods which are either too high of a pH (like green beans) or which haven't been cooked at high enough temperature (greater than 185 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 5 minutes). Whether this product will do that I can't say - unfortunately I haven't had a chance to use it yet because just recently I finally gave up on receiving the converter from them and went on Amazon and bought it myself. I personally wouldn't worry about botulism with this device, especially since the vacuum will (theoretically, at least) raise the boiling point of water high enough to heat the steam to at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

It produces activated oxygen, but I don't know the process. I can tell you that it does work. My fridge does not smell. Not even onions. I tested it with open bowls of potato salad and bean salad. No smell. Strawberries kept without mold for two weeks (some moisture loss, but that's it). There is no noise, and it hardly takes up any space.

Raw but likely they have been irradiated which kills them and the enzymes. Thanks to a law the FDA passed a year or so ago to supposedly protect us :-(

Very good question and one that companies might not want to answer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1489325/ The findings were that S. thermophilus might survive and be passed in feces. So, there you go.

It can't be metabolized in a mammal's GI tract; ergo, no calories. I don't think any living thing could actually can digest it; it'd be like digesting rocks, more or less. It's nice to think that a bug might get very obese on it and die of a heart attack, but...I doubt it. lmao

BACTERIA may not be completely purged as I understand the Process. Store plenty of H2O in the Frig. B4 U purge the next time. I know 24 hrs. seems excessive but avoid possible infection.

I suggest that you buy the book The One-Minute Cure it has all the answers you might have . And yes the book says "The hydrogen peroxide which the body produces on its own helps aerobic ( good) bacteria to flourish ." page 88 . I purchased the book and peroxide and read the book cover to cover .

There is no vacuum. The lid seals airtight and the filter removes carbon dioxide.

Hello Raleigh. Yes, they are both live bacteria. The reason ours says to refrigerate is simply to extend the life of the bacteria. The ones that do not need refrigeration are encapsulated in such a way that oxygen does not reach the capsule until it is opened. While we are looking into this type of packaging in the future, the reviews and customer feedback we have received has shown that the bacteria in our product is effective and very much alive. Thank you for your question, Raleigh. Have a great day. Victoria Playfair Savi Wellness Products

Bacteria needs moisture. Otherwise not sure. Never had any problems though.

Because the probiotics are live strands and therefore need to be in the refrigerator.

Our local hospital analysed a selection of probiotics selected from local stores. Amazingly 2 of them had absolutely no living probiotics in them and ALL of the rest of them had extremely small %'s of probiotics: instead of 16Billion, only 70 million! None of the companies had anywhere ne4ar the advertised potency.

According to the nutrition values chart, no sugar, no sugar alcohols and no carbohydrates.

I take probiotics that don't have to be refrigerated recommended my by doctor. Years ago the only kind you could find were the ones in the fridge. That has all changed.

It doesn't say, but I think this statement infers not to. "Easily clean with warm soapy water". It seems the bacteria and enzymes might fare better without the sanitation of a dishwasher.

As far as I know.....it is just CO2 which takes the oxygen out of the air. Should be ok until opened.

Thumbs up to Alexis' s answer. At the beginning and it actually has some bacteria in it if I remember right to help get your system going quicker.
