Phlo Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :PHLC) ("Phlo") announced today that its Aquis Rapid Response Rehydration rehydration /re·hy·dra·tion/ (-hi-dra´shun) the restoration of water or fluid content to a patient or to a substance that has become dehydrated. re·hy·dra·tion n. 1. System ("Aquis") has been shown, in tests conducted by some of the world's top scientists in the rehydration field, to be superior to current solutions formulated in accordance with the World Health Organization's most advanced specifications. Tests recently conducted by a team of scientists at the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh ("ICDDRB ICDDRB International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases Research Bangladesh "), demonstrate that the use of Aquis results in superior and faster absorption of both electrolytes and water as compared with the use of other leading oral rehydration solutions Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) A liquid preparation developed by the World Health Organization that can decrease fluid loss in persons with diarrhea. Originally developed to be prepared with materials available in the home, commercial preparations have recently in the world, including those based on the World Health Organization's most advanced specifications. Additionally, Aquis has a superior taste, which is conducive to increased fluid intake by those drinking it. The ICDDRB pioneered the discovery of oral rehydration solutions and recently received the Gates Award for Global Health in recognition of this contribution. The testing of Aquis conducted by the ICDDRB was directed by one of the world's leading specialists on rehydration, David A. Sack, M.D. Dr. Sack is the Director of the ICDDRB, where his work led to the validation of a vaccine now recommended by the World Health Organization. One of the operating companies in Phlo's corporate group developed Aquis for use by the U.S. military and for humanitarian purposes. The company has the current capability to produce 130 million liters per year of Aquis and believes that such capacity could be doubled within 3 to 4 months. Aquis is available in ready-to-drink and powder forms. There are two formulations of Aquis, one of which is directed to rehydration and one of which addresses diarrhea caused by diseases such as dysentery dysentery (dĭs`əntĕr'ē), inflammation of the intestine characterized by the frequent passage of feces, usually with blood and mucus. and cholera. Dehydration from these causes is a major problem for the U.S. Military, resulting in tremendous costs both in terms of dollars and loss of active personnel and is a major problem to be addressed on a humanitarian front as well.
