Hyper-Oxygenated Water Speeds Up Healing

Posted by timothy on from the plus-you-can-breathe-it dept.

Ninwa writes "Wired News is reporting on a new discovery by Occulus Innovative Sciences: Super-oxygenated water that significantly decreases healing time of wounds, burns, and diabetic ulcers. 'Oculus said the solution, called Microcyn, may prove effective in the fight against superbugs, crossover viruses like bird flu and Ebola, and bioterrorism threats such as anthrax.'"

    Forbes wrote, in August 2001,

    "Power Player Enron has grown into the world's largest electricity marketer since we last wrote about it [...] Now a new surge in revenues might be in the offing. [...] For Enron that means likely access to 90 percent of the power grid, a leap from its present 25 percent."

    In October 2001, Enron got offed by its execs, who'd already destroyed the company everywhere but in regulators' offices and analysts journals.

    Pass the crackpipe indeed.
