The invention's process considers preconditioned water sources o that have removed solids, dissolved solids, contaminants - both organic and inorganic and subsequently the method purifies the wa ter respective of removing pathogens, and structures the water for cellular uptake in the form of vicinal grade water, with improved characteristics of ideal frequency, cluster size, pH, before safely introducing negative ORP (highly ionized state) to the water struc - o ture and organic nutrients or other supplemental pharmaceutical grade organic materials onto the skin or epithelial/epi-cellular envir onments surrounding tissue and cells. WATER WITH IMPROVED TRANSDERMAL AND CELLULAR DELIVERY Incorporation by Reference and Claim of Priority [001] This application claims priority to United States provisional patent application number 61/788,206 filed on March 15, 2013, the contents of which are expressly incorporated by reference. The contents of all references cited herein are expressly incorporated in their entirety. Background of the Invention [002] Water is ubiquitous in biology and plays roles which are well known and many which we do not fully appreciate. Water plays a primary role in biology for solubilizing and transporting molecules required to maintain life. The art primarily teaches ingestion of water solubilized molecules to meet nutritional or therapeutic needs. [003] Water is universally recognized as a good solvent for charged and polar solvents and a poor solvent for hydrocarbons. [004] The art has recognized that intracellular water, water located within cells, appears to be different than water as we generally know it in normal bulk phase. Phillipa Wiggins, Role of Water in Some Biological Processes, Microbiological Reviews. Vol 54 (4) p432- 449 (1990). In fact, there appears to be 3 forms of water, water which is bound to surfaces, vicinal water associate with surfaces but not bound to them and ordinary aqueous water. Each of these three forms has different properties. [005] In recent years the literature has given greater attention to vicinal water and its role in cellular function. [006] Many enzymatic reactions are oxidation-reduction reactions in which one compound is oxidized and another compound is reduced. The ability of an organism to carry out oxidation-reduction reactions depends on the oxidation-reduction state of the environment, or its reduction potential. [007] In aqueous solutions, the reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of the solution to either gain or lose electrons when it is subject to change by introduction of a new species. A solution with a higher (more positive) reduction potential than the new species will have a tendency to gain electrons from the new species (i.e. to be reduced by oxidizing the new species) and a solution with a lower (more negative) reduction potential will have a tendency to lose electrons to the new species (i.e. to be oxidized by reducing the new species). Oxidation Reduction Potential ("ORP") is generally measured by means of a electrode. Redox meters are well known in the art. [008] However, internal delivery of molecules is not always efficient or even effective due to the many mechanisms the body has to prevent contamination including but not limited to filtering by liver and kidneys and active pumps present in the gut such as p glycoprotein. [009] The art has tried to create ways to improve the properties of water for various biological purposes. Various attempts have been made to produce structured water through electrochemical cells or filtration media. [010] Below are representative patents and published patent applications relevant to structured water. [01 1] JP 20044285036 for Skin Conditioning Agent to Hiroshima Kasei. This application teaches a skin conditioning agent which is produced electrolytically containing a reduced water having a neutral pH and a negative 400 redox. [012] JP 2006096667 and US 5776346 teach that water produced by ion exchange resins including tourmaline and aluminum oxide having negative oxidation reduction potential is ingestible to lower blood sugar. [013] JP2006326374 teaches the use of electrodes to modify the redox potential of water along with use of tourmaline. [014] JP2003335655A2 discloses a mineral water generated by passing natural water through a column that includes tourmaline. No values appear to be given for redox. [015] US 200401 18775 A l teaches the use of bubbling hydrogen gas through water to produce a product with a ph from 6.5-9 and redox values from -150 to -900. [016] US 5880048 A for Granular Ceramic for Water Deoxidation and method of Producing the same Sato; Kazuo et al. [017] KR100647036B1 for Filter for Generating Alkaline Reduced Water and Apparatus Using the Same to Jeon Hyoung Tag. This patent discloses the use of ORP balls but does not appear to reach the negative redox levels you achieve (no English language version available) [0 18] US20120213756A1 teaches the use of oral fulvic acid to scavenge free radicals and transport nutrients. It does not teach transdermal use. [019] US2006/7067155 Anti-inflammatory humate compositions and methods of use thereof teaches the use of humates and fulvics as supplementation that can reduce inflammation. [020] Phytochemicals and micronutrients sourced from plants are now known to impact gene expression in animals according to recent studies. Cell Research 22:3-5, doi:1038/cr.201 1.164;published online October 201 1 article entitled "Ingested plant miRNAs regulate gene expression in animals" clearly showed phenotypical changes related to proteomic influences in animals tested. [021] US20 10/0092399 A l for Methods of Treating or Preventing Inflammation and Hypersensitivity with Oxidative Reduction Potential Water Solution to Hojabr Alimi. This published patent application teaches the use of high positive ORP water generated electrolytically. [022] US20 10/03 16776 for Compositions and Methods for Producing Stable Negative ORP in Consumable Materials to Dusan Miljkovic. This published patent application teaches using reducing compounds to generate high negative ORP water. KHC03 is primarily used and ascorbic acid used to adjust pH. [023] US 2006/0275498 for Processed Water and Therapeutic Uses Thereof to David Bagley discloses the use of electrolytically obtained negative ORP water to treat conditions. [024] US 571 1950 and 6033678 teach the preparation of microclustered water using steam, magnetic fields and far infra-red to ultraviolet spectrum range light. [025] US 7,291,314 for Activated water apparatus and methods teaches a structured water having an ORP below -350 and a cluster size below 4 and a pH below 4 or higher than 10 produced via RD plasma. [026] In a recent study, fungal activity was altered by water borne frequency; refer to patent WO2007068831 (A2) — 2007-06-21, Luc Montagnier, METHOD FOR CHARACTERISING A BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE BIOCHEMICAL ELEMENT BY ANALYSING LOW FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNALS Electromagnetic field frequency memory in water as revealed by germination responses of fungal spores O. E. Ehinlafaa*, G. A. Ibitolab and O. Okunyec a Department of Physics, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria [027] It is recognized that providing ionized water orally encourages free radical (toxin) removal both extra cellularly and intra-cellularly.

  • Performance-Based Test Guideline for Stably Transfected Transactivation in Vitro Assays to Detect Estrogen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists
    OECD/OCDE 455 Adopted: XXX OECD GUIDELINE FOR THE TESTING OF CHEMICALS Draft Performance-Based Test Guideline for Stably Transfected Transactivation In Vitro Assays to Detect Estrogen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists GENERAL INTRODUCTION Performance-Based Test Guideline 1. This Performance-Based Test Guideline (PBTG) describes the methodology of Stably Transfected Transactivation In Vitro Assays to detect Estrogen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists (ER TA assays). It comprises several mechanistically and functionally similar test methods for the identification of estrogen receptor (i.e, ER, and/or ER) agonists and antagonists and should facilitate the development of new similar or modified test methods in accordance with the principles for validation set forth in the OECD Guidance Document (GD) on the Validation and International Acceptance of New or Updated Test Methods for Hazard Assessment (1). The fully validated reference test methods (Annex 2 and Annex 3) that provide the basis for this PBTG are: The Stably Transfected TA (STTA) assay (2) using the (h) ERα-HeLa-9903 cell line; and The BG1Luc ER TA assay (3) using the BG1Luc-4E2 cell line which predominately expresses hERα with some contribution from hER(4) (5). Performance standards (PS) (6) (7) are available to facilitate the development and validation of similar test methods for the same hazard endpoint and allow for timely amendment of this PBTG so that new similar test methods can be added to an updated PBTG; however, similar test methods will only be added after review and agreement that performance standards are met. The test methods included in this Test Guideline can be used indiscriminately to address countries’ requirements for test results on estrogen receptor transactivation while benefiting from the Mutual Acceptance of Data.

Academic Editor: Derek J. McPhee Received: 19 July 2020; Accepted: 19 August 2020; Published: 7 September 2020 Abstract: Inflammation is a physiological response to different pathological, cellular or vascular damages due to physical, chemical or mechanical trauma. It is characterized by pain, redness, heat and swelling. Current natural drugs are carefully chosen as a novel therapeutic strategy for the management of inflammatory diseases. Different phytochemical constituents are present in natural products. These phytochemicals have high efficacy both in vivo and in vitro. Among them, flavonoids occur in many foods, vegetables and herbal medicines and are considered as the most active constituent, having the ability to attenuate inflammation. Kaempferol is a polyphenol that is richly found in fruits, vegetables and herbal medicines. It is also found in plant-derived beverages. Kaempferol is used in the management of various ailments but there is no available review article that can summarize all the natural sources and biological activities specifically focusing on the anti-inflammatory effect of kaempferol.
