Went to the web site &amp; read the testing protocol. Effective against cryptosporidium, but no mention of giardia. Does it kill giardia?

Probably yes. I'm no expert but the bottle DOES NOT "kill" anything. The process scrambles the DNA so they can't reproduce or something like that. I trust CamelBak 100%. The All Clear neutralizes R. Terrigena which is the bacteria selected per the EPA guideline is because it comes from the Enterobacteriaciae family which is more resistant than E Coli (Cholera). Hope this answer clear your doubts. For more information feel free to visit http://www.camelbak.com/en/Sports-Recreation/Purification/Faq/faq.aspx

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate. Does not kill Cryptosporidum. Try Chlorine Dioxide - That kills Crypto.

Can I put this in a pitcher of water and have it kill bacteria for my personal drinking water? My landlord has well water. He said it was checked recently. I have a reverse osmosis system. I would like to know if I can add this product to my already reverse osmosis water to assure no bacteria. Thank you Peace

D-Mannose did NOT work to cure my UTI that was an e coli colony count of 100,000. I threw other things at it, too, like uva ursi, etc. No luck. I had been able to cure one before when it was just a twinge and I did not have a confirmed lab result. I WISH it were always a cure. But no. I do plan to take it as a preventative. I hear there may be a vaccine around the year 2020. These infections are H*LL.

In my experience with drinking this over the past week it hasn't had any effect on my digestive system as mentioned. It's delicious and good for you but I haven't noticed an increase in amount or frequency of bathroom visits. You would probably want to look into a different product if that's specifically what you're looking for.

After talking to the Orkin pest control man I would like to be very honest and tell you that he informed me that if you buy the 20 mule team laundry detergent and use it in cracks crevices and around your beds that it actually works better than the DE. The detergent contains BORAX which is a lot deadlier and faster to kill than the DE. Also if you have seen one bed bug then there are many more hiding!!!! You really need to get a pest control to do an inspection. These bed bugs are almost impossible to kill. I know I have been battling them for 2 years now and whenever I think I have the problem licked they come back!!!!!! Heat kills them!! I hope this helps

No, it just kills the micro organisms. Might try an activated carbon filter.

i have never tried chlorhexidine....but i will say that micro-tek has really helped my dog.....he has suffered from a severe yeast infection....and with bathing him once a week with micro-tek and change of diet he is much improved..told my vet about the shampoo and she told me it has been what she has used on her pets....most important is to leave the shampoo on the animal for about 5 minutes before rinsing.......all the lesions on our dog are healing nicely......thank you micro-tek for an excellent product.....i ran out of it one time..and bought another anti-fungal shampoo......never again....our dogs skin and coat got very dry....got back online for our micro-tek.....our dog is happy and so are we ...hope this has helped

I run a cat rescue. To answer my own questions about which cleaners are most effective, I set up an experiment comparing Accel, Benzarid, chlorhexidine, lime-sulfur, DioxiGuard 78, 1:10 bleach, and HealthGuard Laundry Additive (inoculated DTM culture plates, including controls). Accel, hands down, won. Outperformed even bleach. Impressive. I will say that I recommend rinsing off the surfaces as the critters are too precious to risk harm.

YES Nancy. I've done some research, but have only personal experience on my side (plus 18yrs medical exp) Dr Gibbs, a respected silver researcher says "It is generally assumed that silver inhibits the reproductive cycle of pathogens and "suffocates" them." He believe bacteria, etc are deactivated when reacting to the silver ions. He also believes the ions are cell-structure specific. Another researcher believes the silver ions attract and attach to "cell anomalies " (every thing from bacteria/ fungi/ virus'/ cancer cells/) and they are expelled from the body. MY experience has been only positive. I use it only as needed, no stronger than a 30ppm dilution and ONE (1) ounce initial dose. That dose has cured UTI's, flu, colds, sinus (URI's). I have used it topically on necrosis (brown recluse spider bite) twice daily for 7 days with healing. My pets also benefit from it's use as well. Colloidal Silver is awesome, but if used improperly, ie daily preventative maintenance doses, it could become ineffective. ALSO Be careful NOT to overdose, first sign is enteritis, and then is seen in skin color, so good luck and good health.

I second what T. Genovese said. You won't become immune to it. It has a physical property like a magnet to the bacteria. So it'll keep doing what it does.

Sorry, I don't use that product anymore. I switched to Now Brand Probiotic-10 for a while, which I felt worked better for me, but I have left that too, and now use Bactipro which is a Powerful Probiotic, Phytonutrient, Antioxidant, Prebiotic, and Fiber Formula. I was struggling with a problem with diarrhea until I started using Bactipro, but since I started using this product, diarrhea is no longer an issue.

yes, it will work. I would wait twice as long with very dirty water. in kenya you will probably be drinking mostly bottled water. p.s. giardia isn"t that bad

Hi John, Thanks for your question. I'm afraid I'm not really familiar with that product so I can't really comment. We do however offer an unconditional money back guarantee on the Nutrapuris Probiotic Ultrablend so you can try this for your yourself completely risk free. I hope that helps! Regards, James

Not sure if the all purpose cleaner kills germs. We have found a large selection of Method cleaners at Target for a very reasonable price.
