FOR RELEASE – February 22, 2006

ABL DATA RELEASED IN NEW PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE

American Biotech Labs (ABL), a private company (Clifton Mining Company owns over 24% of ABL) announces that American Biotech Labs’ antimicrobial data has just been released as a part of a  peer reviewed article authored by world renowned material scientist Dr. Rustom Roy and three other esteemed scientists.

THE PAPER

The article is a ground breaking report on the structure of water and was published in the paper "The Structure of Liquid Water; Novel Insights from Materials Research; Potential Relevance to Homeopathy", by Roy, Tiller, Bell, and Hoover in MRI (Materials Research Innovations), Volume 9, issue 4, December 2005 pp 577 - 608 can be accessed thru the publisher's website
at http://www.matrice-technology.com/mri/; Index listing and search; Search: Structure of Water.

The one page abstract is available free of charge or click "buy full text of just this article" and you can purchase the PDF file for $30.  The ABL data is found on pages 596-597, and includes antimicrobial test information against numerous pathogens in comparison to five different types of antibiotics.

The data was used in the report because of the very unique structure of the ABL silver technology and its effect on the structure of water.  Dr. Roy and a number of his colleagues have been working with ABL to define the unique energy structure created by the ABL silver technology, and that work has been completed at four different universities under the direction of Dr. Roy.  The test work completed so far by Dr. Roy’s team of scientists has led to the filing of numerous new patents for ABL.

ABL Management

Said Keith Moeller, a managing director for the corporation, “Management sees this first release of ABL data in a peer reviewed article, as just the tip of the iceberg of  peer reviewed articles that will likely be published in the next few years about the ABL technology.”   ABL continues to grow and has recently received the largest single order in the company’s history, a single order by an international company for 150,000 bottles of ABL product.
