David,
  No offense but it sounds like hokus-pokus to me. The best minds in
remedial technologies can tell you there is absolutely no magic bullet
quick fix for any  type or quantity of hazardous waste/substances 
cleanup. When we allow the production of  synthetic chemical poisons (
especially those wonderful compounds specifically designed to interrupt
life processes)  we all are affected and accountable no matter what the
major chemical producers would like us to believe.
	 BTW what are "non-hazardous fertilizers" and " water purification
chemicals"? That has got to be the answer to your riddle. Write  a
couple of balanced equations detailing the reactions particular to this
method and the techniques employed to magically treat 100 million
gallons of TCE contaminated  water/soil matrix in a local aquifer.
Competent scientist have been attempting to make progress on these and
other very complicated problems for 30 years. I wish there was a miracle
solution because we wouldn't have to care about toxin production and
dispersement and we could concentrate on stopping GMO production and
distribution.
