I am very much inclined to think this one is a major crock. Dr. Ian Raper,

the lead scientist for this organization, who is legitimized by being

president of the Whatever Society for the Advancement of Science has also been

president of this legitimizing society since 1996.

I think this may be a prime example of charlatans!!!!

From, what I gather, this stuff is just a yeast fermentation. Their theory

wins every time. No EPA data, no published studies on their website, no

nothing,

as far as I could see. Basically, if it does what these guys claim, it will

cean up New Orleans, take over the planet by next week, and your dog will

smell better, too.

Too bad. I thought these guys were trying to help out originally, but I

wondered if they had a clue what that stuff growing in NOLA really was. I'm not

wondering so much now.

So it works like Kudzu? lol

It's called " Greenwashing " . Its the big thing in corporate pillage these days..

Look at the part about 'not needing a suit for cleaning up toxic mold

'because there are no chemicals'.

My God, that could kill people..

*Do fear this Raper..*

Check out this web page on SourceWatch that describes the practice of

Greenwashing...

Heh - Yeah, except I don't think kudzu will make your dog smell nice.

The claim on the website is that this stuff is the opposite of an antibiotic.

Which makes no sense. An antibiotic is by definition a fungus that kills other

stuff. It's opposite would not be a fungus that merely discourages other stuff

into going away - or at least not stinking so much. The fact that they use

language like that, plus the fact that the website fully admits no actual

studies have been done was enough for me. Whatever this stuff may do or might

do, I think I want to see something more objective than a marketing claim before

I would entrust my well-being to it.

Kudzu, it is.

From what I read it is like friendly bacteria in our digestive system

which competes which yeast. I did not see any reason to disbelieve

the claims and since they claim they are going to spray and put this

stuff in water, I am going to watch with interest the results. I am

not gullible but nor am I closed-minded when it comes to my health. I

am not closed-minded to what angel is saying but I am watching with

interest. It claims it can be sprayed into stock ponds and control

the algae. I just posted about the fish toxins coming from fish

eating certain algae. This stuff may not do as claims but if it can,

I can see a certain benefit in it.
