I REALLY HAVE MY DOUBTS !!

Lately or for the past few years I have heard of a Japanese company selling a concoction of microorganisms which are supposed to solve all or almost all problems of the environment from pollution to even providing nutrients for agriculture. It seems to claim everything positive using the application of the magic mixture of the microorganisms

I have been trained in microbiology especially in fermentation and industrial microbiology and I really do have my doubts about the effectiveness of the microorganisms which are claimed to be very effective

Firstly I seemed to observe in their references that no significant publications apperaed in the well reviewd scientific journals of academic respect

Secondly, the proof of the magical microorganisms have never really been demonstrated scientifically and conclusively in the laboratories or in the fields

Most of the demonstrations are just briefly shown and it is more of our faith to believe in what they say

The field experiments carried out by the promoters are not really observed and recorded daily weekly or monthly or with real scientific data really being shown. No proper experimental design was really carried out. What I saw pictures of people pouring tons of the microbial solutions into the rivers or the claims the kitchen waste will be fully disintegrated within two weeks. Why dont they carry out such experiments in a perspex or glass container and take daily pictures of the progress of the decomposition for everyone to see?

Thirdly,it seems these demonstrations are only carried out in the developing countries and not thorougly in advanced scintific countries

Personally I really doubt the claims made by these sponsors but then its not my money or reputation that is going down the drain.
