Phagocytosis is the main mechanism of natural resistance especially at the first stage of contagious process; it is a regular part of formation of the specific immune response. The most common
methodology applied in the studies of the functional activity of phagocytes is the examination of their phagocytic (engulfing of alien cells) and oxygen dependent bactericidal activity. Phagocytic activity of neutrophils and macrophages is estimated based on Phagocytic Index (percentage of phagocytes which engulfed test-bacteria) and on Phagocytic Number (average number of test-bacteria engulfed by one phagocyte).
At the end of two weeks of experiment the mean values of studied parameters in both groups of mice on MRET water substantially increased compared to the control group. The differences in mean values of the parameters of functional activity of phagocytes of groups of mice consuming MRET water compared to the control
group of mice on non-activated water were statistically significant with p < 0.05 (for Phagocytic Index and NBT-test). These results confirm the significant intensification of phagocytic and bactericidal activity and of immune system response following the consumption of MRET water [9].
The significant bacteriostatic effect of 70 - 100% (depending on initial concentrations of pathogens) was observed in vitro for MRET-activated nutrient medium in this investigation. These results confirm the significant intensification of phagocytic activity and of immune system response following the
consumption of MRET water.
The study was conducted on 38 AIDS patients during August 2004 - August 2005. All patients were consuming 1.5 liters of MRET activated water per day as a complimentary treatment in addition to the prescribed Anti-HIV medications. During the course of clinical observation all 38 patients were tested on a regular
basis for CD4 counts and required to submit weekly reports regarding their health conditions.
There was simultaneous observation of other group of AIDS patients during the same period of time (control group). They were on the same type of prescribed Anti-HIV medication, but without the complimentary consumption of MRET water [10].
First method: collection and analysis of the weekly health condition reports and CD4 counts reports.
Second method: group interviews and personal interviews with patients which participate in this observation.
38 patients of the age between 19 and 49 years old were selected for the clinical trial. Summarizing the observation results we can indicate that in compliance with the studied gradations of AIDS patients health conditions 36 patients showed significant improvement and 2 patients did not show any improvement of
their health condition.
Two patients were selected to undergo two tests at the Bangkok Pathology Laboratories due to budget limitation. One test was the reading of the level of CD4 counts (immune system) and the other was Viral Load (the amount of virus in the body) For CD4 reading, a healthy body should have a range of 800 – 1200 cells /
microliter.
For Viral Load, the instrument has the ability to measure from 50 - 5000 copies / ml. The lower the number, the lesser the virus in the body, and subsequently lesser it attacks the patient’s body.
