Absolutely. If MZEI is ever bought by a larger company I'd definitely want to own shares of the purchaser. There are a lot of applications out there and someone will turn them into corporate profits.
Semper, I think you're 100% right about the "green" aspect of our technology: we don't create toxic waste or destroy the environment..and when AsepticSure is done you've got oxygen=not bad!
The bedbug problem has reached the editorial page of the Sunday NY Times 9/5/10.

Does anyone know if a manuscript has been written or sent off for review?
Phrantic, I posted the NYT article so that people could see there were even disagreements among experts regarding disease transmission. Whether or not the MRSA connection holds I think there's still a lot of commercial potential in bedbug eradication.

Phrantic, threw: do you think we'll hear hospital results in the next 2 weeks? Also, do you have any idea of what's going on with the bioterrorism aspect? TIA, Lep.
And while you're at it ask him about TB, too! TIA, Lep.
Phrantic, my question is about management's internal valuation of the entire company in the event of a buyout. Does anyone think that we need our own investment banker should such negotiations occur (buyout)?
This is an open question for those of you who seem to speak with Mr. Marshall on a regular basis: does he consider all of the applications discussed on this board in valuing the company (bed bugs included) or is he focussed completely on AS and the bioterrorism stuff? I ask this because I hope that current shareholders are well compensated in the event of a buyout (which people keep mentioning on this board). I'd like to hear your impressions. TIA, Lep.
Spumoni, I don't think anyone has the answer to your question. If AS can produce log 7 germ kills
(=1 bug survives out of 10 million) then the question is how long it takes for the bacteria to re-populate the site. To the best of my knowledge this hasn't been studied experimentally but this is clearly an important question to answer.
But the key point is that traditional methods such as floor mopping and counter wiping are completely inadequate for elimination of bacteria. Some of the dirtiest surfaces such as plastic shower curtains aren't washed at all. Ditto for OR cleansing.
Some of the best medicine in the world is in the fresh produce section of your local market-and you don't need a prescription, either.
Threw: when you're out of hospital-and after consulting with your doc-think about regular daily exercise-even a 30-45 min. walk is beneficial-and switching your diet to one emphasizing fruit, vegetables, olive oil based salads-and cutting back on red meat and carbs. It worked for me, I dropped 30 lbs. in 7 mos. just by following this simple regimen. And even if weight and/or blood pressure control is not an issue it's still a good lifestyle choice. Get well soon, we're all rooting for you. Regards, Lep.

The announcement concerning Listeria and Salmonella was dated 6/1/10 in reference to food borne pathogens (i.e. old news)
Happy to add information to this board. Gyms and pools should become major users of our technology.

mf57, I respectfully disagree: No Ed=no company. Period. I should point out that I have not been happy with management's handling of many issues, but all the same, No Ed=no company.
Thanks, phrantic. What about TB?
Thanks, WD. I thought it might be old news.
WD, for our own educational purposes can you tell us the names of the smart little company and its smart big partner?? TIA, Lep
Great! I bet you get a positive response. Looking forward to hearing about it, Lep.
When you speak with them you can also ask about viruses and fungi (Candida, Aspergillus, Mucor).
These are important pathogens especially for sick hospitalized patients. If there's an organism that can resist our O3 treatment I'd like to hear about it. TIA, Lep.
The report I read was in the New England Journal of Medicine and involved a flight from either India or Pakistan to London. We're not very TB conscious in the US but the disease is present throughout Asia, the Medterranean basin and Central and South America, not to mention subSaharan Africa. The drug resistant form frequently requires multiple potent antibiotics with variable success. It is a very scary disease and prevention is clearly the way to go.
I've read reports of TB spreading from infected individuals on international flights (someone coughs, you breath in their aerosol), in subways, and bars. Forget SARS, Asian flu, etc. A TB pandemic would be absolutely horrific in this country. I think most public health officials would agree. MZEI still has a lot of work to do in the laboratory. This is certainly an area the G8 should investigate!
O3 destroys the outer lipid membranes of bacteria and (presumably) viruses. Bacterial resistance is generated via multiple pathways usually involving the DNA (chromosomal material) of the bug. To the best of my knowledge no micro-organism can mutate to make the outer lipid (fatty) membrane resistant to O3 activity. This is why MZEI's approach is radically different and so effective.
Another note: drug resistant TB is a major threat to world health. MZEI needs to do some TB trials similar to those done last spring on MRSA, Clostridium, etc. My prediction is that the lipid membrane of TB would go poof! and the bug would die.
About the role of agricultural antibiotics: one study in the last few years indicated that N. Carolina hog and chicken farms used more antibiotics than the entire hospitalized population of the U.S. These farms-and also major teaching hospitals-have therefore become sources of resistant bugs.
Moral: if you need surgery, try to have it as an outpatient if possible.
This company's technology is very important and has unlimited potential (international flights, sports facilities, schools, clinics, breeding farms for chicken, pigs, beef, etc.)
The locker rooms and training facilities of professional sports teams should become major targets for AsepticSure cleansing. Does anyone remember what happened to Kellen Winslow of the Cleveland Browns NFL team? You can look it up...keeping high priced talent off the nonfootball injury list will be a major money saver.
Phrantic, message appreciated. Thanks, Lep.
Well, they've made a very good investment-assuming the beta tests get going one of these days. So far the silence is deafening.....
Phrantic, how many shares do you think this buyer has accumulated over the past few weeks?
I've read every one of the company's announcements. The questions about hospital testing are still unresolved.
Exactly. And concerned shareholders should insist on the most professional handling of the company's news announcements.
NSD, right you are again. The company needs to speak with one voice via regular shareholder communications on a regular basis especially considering the wonderful technology which it is bringing to the health care community.
NSD, you are 100% on target with your comments. After all the brouhaha we still have no officially announced start date for hospital testing, nor do we have a statement from management accounting for the delay.
Ben, at a time when this company is on the verge of tremendous accomplishments it would be tragic if information leaks jeopardized our image. This is precisely the moment to exert the greatest possible discipline in information handling.
Ben, it seems to me that you're making a very basic error. If individual shareholders function as unofficial proxy spokesmen for management, what level of credibility should be assigned to their statements? And how does this state of affairs appear to new investors just learning about MZEI?
Answer: unprofessional.
This is not a knock on those shareholders who are trying hard to help the rest of us (threw, waterdog, phrantic, e.g.). But it is not a good way for management to deal with information, to say the least.
It's interesting to see how much "information" has been spread among certain shareholders without a formal statement from management. To say the least this is not the most professional way of doing things.
A few simple questions:
1. Do we have a definitive start date for hospital testing?
2. If we don't have such a date, what is causing the delay?
TIA, Lep.
Phrantic, thanks for taking time from your hectic schedule to pursue the hospital testing information.
I'm sure we're all looking forward to hearing the news. Best wishes, Lep.
