Eaeh Variation, however, exhibited sonte antimicrobial ation and many of these devices pro- ‘duced solutions with measurable amounts ofthe components (chlorine, pH, ozone, etc) within the rnge ofthe disclosed regulated amounts, The resulting electoyzed saline compo- sitions, however, have not historically been satisfactorily con- sistent or controllable, specifically regarding the eoncentra- tions of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). In addition, these prior inventions could produce toxic chemicals (chlorates) in the process of elecimolyzing the saline solution. Conse- ‘quently, there is 8 need foe an improved manufacturing ‘method and apparatus, such as that described below, to con- sistently produce solutions suitable for therapeutic aplica- Fons in bans and warm-blooded animals SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 10023] The improved method and apparatus described below provides an improved electrolyzing fluid containing regulated amounts of stable reactive oxygen spocies (ROS) particularly suited for stable, nontoxie antimicrobial appli- ‘ations and to aid the immune system in identifying and ‘destroying malfunctioning eels. The invention comprises & ‘method for making an electrolyzed saline solution for use as fn in vivo treatment of human or warm-blooded animal.

[0030] ‘Tae container for producing the eleetolyzed saline solutions is fabricated from a biologically compatible mate- ‘ial. In addition, the anode is made of a ase metal selected ‘rom the group consisting of platinum, niobium, titanium or Any metal compatible with platinum bonding with an outer Jayer of platioum bonded tothe base metal The shape ofthe anode has a cylindrical, or fat (planar) shaped structure. The ‘anode is preferably permeable to fui flow. [0031] Usually the eathode is positioned coaxially or in parallel in felaion to the anode, This cathode is made of @ base metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, siobium, titanium or any metal compatible with platinum bonding with an outer layer of platinam bonded 4 the base peta and has a eylindrical, or flat (plana) shaped stucture similarto that of thesnode and ial preferably permesblet iid fow, [0032] Thespacing between the surfaces ofthe cathode and the anode is typically not greater than about one inch. This invention has means to cireulate and regulate the temperatore of fluids during production, has appropriate electrode design and as methods that effectively stabilize the compesition of the resulting solution, [0033] The tempersture, fd flow and effective voltae are ‘hose as to climinate production of cblonites and to create the desired mixture of components.

The effective voltage is chosen to eliminate the production of ehlorates and to create the desired mixture of US 2009/0110749 AI ‘components containing stable ROS. For example, a typical temperature mange ofthe saline solution i fom 30 deg. F. 40 100.dey F. Inthe lower temperature range, kssO, isabsorbed by the fluid and the uid has smaller electrical conductivity, therefore higher effective voltages can be tilizedto maintain ‘adequate electrical current required 1o provide regulated ‘amounts of stable ROS without significantly increasing the probability of creating chlorates and while maintaining a pll Of720 75, 10035] | Thoeffective voltage may be adjusted, as desired, t0 regulate the concenttation ofthe components and the pH of the resulting solution over a lange variety of temperatures and fluid ows, Wherein tis dificult to theoretically determine the concentrations ofall the various resulting chemscal com ponents when given any specific set of parameters, the opti. imal effective voltage, Hil temperature and flow are deter mined by experimentation, This methodology allows forthe intentional regation of eoncentrations ofthe specific chemi ‘cal components in these stable ROS enriched solutions, allowing forthe optimization of solutions intended for spe- Cite purposes [0036] ‘The method and apparatus thus provides a stable, ROS enriched, antimicrobial, non-toxic electolyzed saline solutions, hercinater referred to as Reoxeyn, with a specific redox-halanced set af molecules a ons in slution that has the ability to attack infective microbes and enhances the abil- ity of the immune system to recognize and destroy damaged ‘oF malfnetioning cells. 10037] Reoxcyn solutions are balanced 10 normal and hypertonic saline and have been shown through extensive, repeatable research by accredited laboratories To be stable non-toxic and exhibit remarkable antimicrobial, antiviral and therapeutic characterises, Besides the therapeutic appli tions, the nature of these solutions also makes them suitable {or applications in food safety, animal health, agsieulture and sterilization, The solutions exhibit a marked lack of toxicity up nro. espe rl rtp appiinin nam 10038] | Reoxcyn solutions provide a broad platform for anti-infective and therapeutic applications covering several Potential urews of use, including topical disinZetion ‘robial application, wound treatment, oxidative stress redue~ tion and enhancement of immune funtion, Reoxeyn solt- tions, being that they contain regulated amounts of stable reactive oxygen species (ROS), are particularly suited for ‘enhancing the ability ofthe immune sYstem to recognize and ‘destroy damaged or malfunctioning cells. Such solutions ean also be administered in a number of eilferent ways appropri- ‘ate forthe desired therapeutic application. [0029] Furthemore, all of the ound in these sou 2 scientific investigation eateporized as redox messaging and regulation of genes, Soch molecular components, being & balanced set of reduced species (RS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), are the same molecules and ions tht mieror those found in biological systems and are intimately involved in the ability of the immune system to recognize, detect, ‘eliminate and hea infected, dameged or mutated tissues in, ‘mammal, [0040] The measurement of concentrations of ROS inside the solations hasbeen done by meansofa uorospectrometer, Nanodrop 3300, and three varieties of Muorescent dyes, -Phycoerytherin (R-PE), Hydroxypheny fluorescein (HPF) ‘and Aminophenyl Muorescein (APF), that are commonly sed Apr. 30, 2009 to determine relative ROS concentrations inside setive bio- logical systems and cells, The molecules in these dyes change shape, and therefore fluoresce only when exposed te molec Jareomponents in ROS, The resulling change in uorescence can then be detected by the Mluorospeetrometer and ean be ‘elated fo the concentration of ROS present. ROS concent ‘ions in Reoxeyn are verified and detected by either APF oF R-PE fiorescent dyes, both of which produce entirely com- sistent messurements of relative concentrations of ROS in various concentrations ad dilutions of Reoxeyn. Dr, James (Claget has linked the ROS measurements in Reoxeyn, using RPE fluorescent dye, tothe reaction ofthis dye wo regula fons of 2/2-Axobis(2-methyIpopionamide) hidroebloride, a molecule that produces known amounts of ROS, This snot an absolute measurement, ut itrlates ROS in Reoxeya itto amounts of a known producer of ROS, [041] These fuoresceat dyes are often used in eombina- ‘on with fluorescence microscope to create high-resolution ‘mages ofthe build-up of ROS (oxidative stress) inside ind Vinal living cells. These dyes have boon shown to speci cally be sensitive 10 concentrations of ROS regardless of ‘complex surrounding chemical environments, [042] Although APF and R-PE dyes ate capable of mea- suring relative ROS concentrations ia Reoxcyn, no know absolute standard concentration for stabilized ROS in pure saline soluions exists, Furthermore, discrepancies in the decay time of these floorescent dyes make measuring stan- ‘ardized amounts of ROS in other solutions incompatible ‘with measuring those found in Reoxeyn. This may be due, in part, to the molecular complexes in Reoxeyn that keep the ROS concentration stable, elfectvely shielding the fe radi cals from readily reacting with the dyes. The standant for ROS concentration in Reoxeyn therefore measured relative to the ROS concentration ina standardized solution that has ben used in all ofthe antimicrobial and toxicity stadies to ate, both published and unpublished. Methods to meastre hsolite ROS cancentratons in Reoxcyn are actively being pursued. [0043] The regulated amounts of ROS, thus measured. inside a variety of the Reoxeyn solutions producedby various ‘embodiments ofthis invention have been shown wo be stable, consistent and predictable, sufficient for therapeutic applica.
