  1. Dysentry in Bangladesh, LVPEF Device may Reduce the Rate

    Intestinal inflammation and frequent latrine with mucus is called dysentery. The main symptoms of the dysentery is illness, frequent times odor with mucus, stomach pain.
    A survey was taken in Bangladesh about 50 sub- districts at rural area. They select 29885 households for sample design. Finally they randomly select 30 cluster samples. For continuing their promotional activities they implement sanitary latrines, tube wells, give training about hygiene and health.
    After some month they got overall result. Dysentery affection rate reduced 10%.
    This disease is also called shigellosis. Shigella contaminated to human body by water or food. Unhygienic food and poor public sanitation helps to rapidly spread the disease.
    Solving Way:
    Usually doctors use rehydration therapy. For specific condition require microbiological microscopy therapy.
    Since this disease is considered water borne disease perhaps ParaZapper™ will very effective because LVPEF device such as ParaZapper™ can kill many protozoa,, bacteria, and other small germ from water within 1 hour. Since the human body is water based, studies are needed to be done for killing bacterial infection in humans.
    I like to read about LVPEF device and enjoyed to visit the site so many times.
