Went to the web site &amp; read the testing protocol. Effective against cryptosporidium, but no mention of giardia. Does it kill giardia?

Probably yes. I'm no expert but the bottle DOES NOT "kill" anything. The process scrambles the DNA so they can't reproduce or something like that. I trust CamelBak 100%. The All Clear neutralizes R. Terrigena which is the bacteria selected per the EPA guideline is because it comes from the Enterobacteriaciae family which is more resistant than E Coli (Cholera). Hope this answer clear your doubts. For more information feel free to visit http://www.camelbak.com/en/Sports-Recreation/Purification/Faq/faq.aspx

Depends on what is causing it. My dogs saw huge improvements in 6 weeks....it takes time. My male has a weak stomach and improvement has been spectacular. What food are you using - clean water is imperative. Make sure the dog is giardia free too.

I just read a comment stating they didnt get the paper. Well it said ti avoid all sugar except natural sweeteners like stevia, msg and other additives because it feeds the parasite. I don't remember exactly what it said, I took it a while ago, but it encourages you to eat many raw leafy greens and fresh veggies. U can blend together using only a. Green apple sweeten. No other fruit! U can eat, I forgot if it said organic or pastured eggs, chicken and turkey. Brown rice, quinoa, spelt and if u eat pasta it should only be made of the grains listed. You can eat beans, no juice or dairy. I may have left some grains out but I don't remember. Oh and drink tons of water because this can constipate you, u want all of the dead parasites to flush out of you, if you are constipated they are staying inside of you. I personally got diarrhea from it lol. Hope this helped!

Here is what it says on the back of the filter package: "Tested and Certified Aquamira Filtration Technology removes >99.9% Giardia and Cryptosporidium". Then a little farther down the package it says: "Miraguard Antimicrobial Technology suppresses the growth of bacteria, algae, fungus, mold and mildew within the filter media. Miraguard does not protect users against food borne or disease causing bacteria viruses, germs or other disease causing organisms." I have not used mine on anything other than tap water (it greatly improves the taste); for travel to Mexico, I purchased a water purifying SteriPEN that operates on a battery.

Not recommended anymore because of brain eating amoebas killing a couple of people after using tap water and a different sinus irrigation product. (Sounds crazy I know, but Google it) Just use distilled, filtered or boiled along with regular salt. As the others have said, regular salt does burn more than the premixed solutions. It doesn't really bother me though.

That's a good question. I can only tell you what is written on the back of the product packaging. It states: "The Pure Sip Filter is supplied with a set of three final filter discs, in bottom rubber boot, to assist in the removal of giardia. Install one filter disc in the cap. Make sure that the disc is seated properly and screw the cap on the tube light [sic]. Replace the filter disc when suction through the unit becomes difficult. You may replace the filter disc up to three times. The clogging of the filter discs is dependent on the level of suspended particulate matter present in the water source." Hopefully that covers it. It does appear the giardia disc is in the rubber boot which is on the bottom of the filter. Keri-Lynn Four Seasons Survival

I wouldn't rule out answers to the negative (sounds like folks are saying "NO" simply because they've never heard that it does) ... I just read quite a lot of info indicative of pumpkin seeds being beneficial for parasite treatment, & wanted to share the link w/ you: http://www.pumpkinseed.net.au/seedhealthbenefits#traditional (or google AUSTRALIAN PUMPKIN SEED COMPANY if AMAZON doesn't allow the link to remain)

Not sure maybe to kill any bacteria or maybe it reduces the bubbling. I never heard of that either. Be careful I took myDaughter off because it caused her serious constipation. She was very fussy. She was whining terrible on it

No, it just kills the micro organisms. Might try an activated carbon filter.

There are some lab tests on the internet about the "kill tests" of certain bacteria/viruses. This is what is important about colloidal silver and how FAST it attacks the bacteria, not the strength really. I read the test ratings on the colloidal silver website and this one was the best product for the results. There are other ones out there.

Sorry, I don't use that product anymore. I switched to Now Brand Probiotic-10 for a while, which I felt worked better for me, but I have left that too, and now use Bactipro which is a Powerful Probiotic, Phytonutrient, Antioxidant, Prebiotic, and Fiber Formula. I was struggling with a problem with diarrhea until I started using Bactipro, but since I started using this product, diarrhea is no longer an issue.

That is what I use it for almost exclusively - it's great. I set for 10 minutes, I keep the ozone ball no more than 4 inches deep in the water (as suggested on the pamphlet) and I move it around the tub of veggies. I have never gotten ill and I live in South America where the parasites are different than the ones in the US so are hard on my body. Have not had parasites since I have been using this. I highly recommend it.

sorry i dont have an answer but a question. has it helped with your lyme? i have used h2o2 with success. do you know if it will ozonate a bathtub?

It will kill watermeal. Treat it just like duckweed. You'll need dynamic surfactant also. This stuff is expensive so I wouldn't waste it on pre treat.

The product description on amazon says that it kills, but the aquamira website doesn't. Check this link: https://mcnett.zendesk.com/entries/448256-Do-Aquamira-Water-Treatment-Drops-Remove-Viruses-and-Bacteria- This seems a response to specific products. While it says that chlorine dioxide kills Cryptosporidium and Giardia, it doesn't want to say it explicitly so until proven.

Don't have experience with stinks, but it kills everything else, so I'm sure it will kill them. It was shipped to my Tn residence so NC won't be a problem. It is impressive, cheap, easy to use, and effective for weeks on end, even after rains!
