so after heat treatment of 122f/50 C @25 minutes .........

one may possibly loose some seeds and possibly not all pathogens would be eradicated from inside the seed....but the resulting viable seeds from the process have a better start and chance in regards to disease ........as the fermentation and oxiclean methods would not remove the pathogens bourne inside the seed itself.
