Discovered in 1834 hypochlorous acid, HOCl is now available as a sprayable mist that can be applied directly to the skin, eyes, nose, or mouth. This remarkable substance will effectively kill every known virus, bacteria, fungus and prion in existence. At the same time, it is completely safe and non-toxic. It can even be used to wash fruit and vegetables, cutting boards, and food services without the need for rinsing.

It is naturally produced by our blood cells, specifically the neutrophils whenever our body is cut or burned. It instantly prevents infection and begins the healing process as it is released. Unlike antibiotics it does not encourage the growth of resistant strains of dangerous microbes.
