Google+Clean The Air Of 99.97% of Mold, Germs, Bacteria and More!

Google+:

If you could live in a house where the air was cleaned of 99.97% of mold, germs, bacteria, pollen, viruses and more would you do it?  Is this clean air important to the development of your baby's lungs?  Will breathing clean air possibly prevent asthma?  The amazing thing is that there is a way to clean indoor air.  It is not complicated.  It's simple.
  Allergy air purifiers have been around for some time.  They are usually sold to people with asthma, allergies, and breathing problems.  Clean air is good for everyone.  I want them and have them in my house for everyone's benefit.  Does it really matter if you are "healthy"?  If you live in the indoor air pollution that we do, will you stay healthy?  No you won't.  That is why you need to purchase and constantly run allergy air purifiers in your home.  They actively kill mold, germs, viruses, bacteria, pollen and are capable of removing chemicals from the air.  (Wow, just maybe I won't get cancer from the carpeting I own!) They are 99.97% efficient. This is a great buy for people who want to work at and staying healthy.    Who would consciously want to live with mold, germs, bacteria, viruses and chemicals attacking your body every day?  Hey, we have so much at our disposal to be healthy today.   
    In another installment, we will look at different features an allergy air purifier can include.  For now, it is an absolute must that an allergy air purifier have hepa filtration.  This is what works to catch mold, germs viruses, etc and clean the air of 99.97% of the bad stuff.  Yet, you can a fully loaded allergy air purifiers that do even more!
    This is just great news.  Living in clean air.  Yes you should definitely open your windows because the air outside is far less polluted.  And while you are at it, let some sunshine into the house.  Mold does not grow in sunlight.

Can Mold Exposure Cause Migraines?


Bet you never really connected that mold exposure could cause migraines.  We know that mold allergies can cause sinus pressure and certainly headaches, aches and pains but migraines.? If you are one of the 25% that have a biotoxic reaction to mold, which means your body does not produce antibodies to kill mold toxins, you can have headaches that are so bad that they are misconstrued as migraines according to Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, mold specialist and researcher. Really don't care whether you call them nasty boy headaches migraines or not, but from personal experience, I do.  
    How does this happen?  Quite simply, these mold toxins move freely through the body including having the ability to pass the blood brain barrier and wreak havoc on the brain.  Not only can you have severe headaches but also bleeding on the brain if continued to have mold exposure.  
   So what can you so if you are in these shoes?  First you need to go to a mold doctor like Shoemaker and see through scientific testing and a rather intensive protocol and see if that is the issue. Most doctors and specialists don't agree with this 21st century diagnosis despite over1,000 research documents that prove so.  If so, you really need to kill mold in your house and then take measures to prevent mold.  Constant mold exposure is good for no one.  
   Leaks must be immediately repaired.  Do not give mold what it thrives on:  moisture and humidity. If you do not have a basement dehumidifier running, get one and turn it on to decrease humidity to around 50%.  Mold loves dark, damp places and is found mostly in basements for starters. Then place allergy air purifiers throughout the house to snatch mold and effectively kill mold because it is trapped in the HEPA filter.  Wipe everything down with Borax and then Hepa vacuum all surfaces. 
   In the meantime, get treated for the nasty headaches.  They are no fun.  Because mold exposure can interferes with concentration, memory also, it is all the more important to kill mold.  These symptoms come along with the headaches.  Guess the good news is that no, you are not going senile! Even if you do not have these symptoms, it is not a good idea to expose your family to mold.  Could mold exposure cause Alzheimer's; don't know?  But there is still a lot of learning to be accomplished in medicine.
Migraines Are No Fun!

Do You Feel Lousy All The Time?


  Some people consider it ‘Yuppie Syndrome” or maybe you work too many hours, but you never really feel rested and you are always tired.  There is a need to get to the bottom of this.  Will the fatigue get worse with age?  Wow that would really stink.  What causes chronic fatigue?  Let’s look at a few possibilities that you should consider.
     Have allergies?  Allergies like mold allergies, dirt mite allergies and just allergies can drain you of your energy.  There is a battle going on inside.  It is important to treat the allergies but go further.  Those allergens and dirt mites need to be gone from your house.  To do that, use a dehumidifier in the basement to stop humdity and mold from growing.  Mold is a trigger for allergies and mold allergies and can trigger asthma attacks.  High humidity can also cause the dirt mite population to grow. 
     Clean the air of pollen.  You do that by using allergy air purifiers throughout the house.  Docs often tell you to run them in the bedroom which is certainly a idea.  But you have mold and pollen all through your house.  Use allergy air purifiers according to the square footage of your house.
    Last step.  Clean everything with Borax. Thorough cleaning is always beneficial. Use a hepa vacuum to clean up dead mold spores and suck up pollen left on surfaces.  Always close windows at night as that is when pollen count increases.
    See if you feel better then.  If not keep going to see if your fatigue is the result of some underlying condition. Make sure that you are eating fairly often.  Healthy meals certainly make a difference if eaten through the day.  And don’t eat too much as that makes anyone fatigued.  Lots of folks have terrible eating habits that will certainly lead to fatigue.
   Sleep at regular intervals.  Figure out how much sleep you need and don’t over do it.  Everyone has a sleeping pattern.  Not everyone needs 8 hours of sleep.  The Lord told us to take a Sabbath.  Well, do you?  Are you always doing something 7 days a week.  You need to chill out on that one day. It heals and refreshes you.  Read the Bible”  Proverbs are great.  Poetry or engage in meaningful conversation with a spouse or friend.  Reduce stress by getting some exercise.
     Hope this helps.  The tips to have the dehumidifiers, allergy air purifiers and hepa vacuum are a must for every home. Mold exposure is not good for the health of anyone. To kill and prevent mold also decreases pollen and dirt mites.






    Hope you figure out the source of your fatigue.  Live healthy…Be happy!

Too Many People Dying Young


  Now what does that mean?  When you pick up the paper how many people are in the obituaries at the age of 40 or 50 or so?  More than should be.  At least 10% or more in my area.  You do not know because of the HIPPA laws.  Know a health professional working on a cancer unit and he was taken back by how many people were in their 40's and 50's dying of cancer.  The question is how did they get there? Were they doomed by poor genetics or can you alter the path of genetics and what is the key to doing that?
    Lots of questions but where are the answers and why does medicine not seem like it is in a hurry to find out why.  Don't get me wrong.  Where would we all be without the wonders of medicine.  I personally would be dead for many reasons.  I take life saving medicines that do just that: save my life on a daily basis.
     How can you improve your overall health so that cancer, heart attack, stroke or some other horrible life robbing disease does not come your way?  A balanced life of good diet, exercise, stress coping, inspiration, and a positive outlook go a long way.  
    Now to go further.  How can you make your house healthy so you will stay healthy.  Go upstairs into the bathroom and count the number of shampoos, hair products, dental products, air fresheners etc all chemicals and how many of them really necessary.  Under your sink somewhere are how many cleaning products?  What about wall to wall carpeting which contains VOCs:  Volatile Organic Compounds:  cyclohexene,toluene, styrene which are use to stain proof and contained in the latex backing.  Some of these compounds are either known carcinogens or suspected.  This research comes from The Johns Hopkins Magazine Article:  "Home Sick Home"  September, 2000.  In the early 1990's USC did research on 362 homes and found DDT in the carpeting of 90 homes.  I guess we better start doing a better job of wiping our feet on the little rug in the entrance way.
   There is so much more in this article but I do not want to overwhelm you.  I prefer and use hardwood flooring because my husband noticed a dramatic improvement in my health after removing carpeting.  Healthy carpeting free of these chemicals is very expensive.  If you are going to go with carpeting, it is suggested by this article to leave the windows open, use fans to pull out the VOC off-gassing which occurs  a lot of which occurs when installed and let the gasses literally go out the window.  Deep cleaning your carpets is necessary as well as the use of dehumidifiers to keep chemical off gassing from occurring in general in your house.  Start with a dehumidifier for basement and dehumidify any other area.

    Since 90% of time is spent indoors, make sure it is healthy air as possible.  Open the windows when you can.  Run allergy air purifiers, period.  They kill mold, pull in biological contaminants like germs, bacteria, viruses, pollen, and if have activated charcoal aggravating fumes and chemicals.  Read more at: Warning: Your House Is Very Polluted!  


Imagine the battles of these loved ones with cancer.

Spring Cleaning Done To Kill Mold, Mildew and Indoor Air Pollution:


Time to do the neverending list of spring cleaning chores.  Hopefully on the list 1st is airing out the house.  Open all the windows and let sun and fresh air in.  Depending on where you are living of course.  If the humdity is high already then leave the windows closed but leave in some sun anyway.  Mold does not grow in sunlight.
    The fresh air coming from outside is much less polluted then that chemical, biological congtmainated air in the house. Sit outside a bit and maybe doink around the yard and get some fresh air yourself.  Plan what you are going to plant to further clean the air. While you are outside, rake the rest of the leaves away from the foundation of your home as they will get moldy and blow into the house.  Dump any standing water.  Make sure those gutters are clean and get the one that loves working on the roof to inspect it.  Spring can mean high winds and roof damage.  That is for sure, ownining a home is constant work.
   Now for the inside.  Go through every room and clean like a real machine.  Wipe down all the walls with Borax mixture or just Borax and a bit of dishsoap.  When dry, hepa vacuum all surfaces even the ceiling and get all those dirt blobs hanging from the ceiling you cannot reach.  A commercial hepa vacuum is great for standing on ladders and cleaning high ceilings.  Pitch the unnecessary stuff because you will have to clean it and that is just more work.  Spring pitching.  Have a Goodwill box to go.  Mine is full and I am ready to start another one.
   Make sure the basement has the dehumdifier for basement running.  If the temperature is too low at night you may need a bit of heat at night.  Clean the basement the same way.  Through out any porous materials like paper and cardboard boxes.  No carpeting as there is no way to keep it from getting moldy.
    Keep the allergy air purifiers running and make sure the filters are cleaned or replaced of needed.  
     Look for anything that is leaking and always take care of that before you start cleaning.  Keep your house clean once you have done this in every room.  This is a lot but makes a big difference over your general health.
     Consider if you need to run any more dehumdifiers.  Do this by making sure that the humdity is below 50%.  Use a hygormeter.  They are cheap to buy.
    If you have any questions, shoot me an e-mail at stopmoldcold@gmail.com
have a good one.  See You tomorrow.

Mold Free Home: Do You Want to Live Without Mold and Indoor Air Pollution?


You may think that you have a clean, neat healthy house and not realize that there are some problems. You live in an energy efficient house and don' worry about those high heating bills. The basement is wet because you don' t own or use a dehumidifier. It smells a bit for the most part; you really do not think it is a big deal. After all, what would a wet basement have to do with being healthy? It's the fact that mold loves warm, dark and damp places. Mold spores are invisible and you might not see evidence of the problem. If you have some cardboard boxes or wood stored down in the basement, it might be black underneath without you realizing.
Mold in the house is not healthy for anyone. It is especially not healthy for those with asthma, mold allergies, allergies and other breathing conditions this includes small children and the elderly. If exposed on a daily basis, the reaction is worse over time. Soon asthma is hard to control and you are using an inhaler without realizing why.
Mold is not the only problem. When humidity rises chemical off-gassing occurs. Chemicals leach out into the air for all to breath in. Mold, viruses, bacteria, germs all thrive in humidity as well as dirt mites. It is really hard to believe that the makers of carpeting actually have formaldehyde in carpeting. The thought of a baby rolling around face in the formaldehyde is not a welcome thought.  In addition to that there are many chemicals used on carpeting to make it anti-fungal.  It is treated with chemicals like chlorine, bromine, and phosphorus during a chemical bath.For the most part, carpeting should be used sparingly in a house because of all the chemicals used in carpeting. Chemicals in the air like air fresheners, deodorizers, pesticides are eventually fall to the ground to be absorbed by carpeting.  These chemicals are released over time into the air you breathe.
Are you one of those people that like to have the curtains closed  and never have the windows open?  The really bad new is the humidity of summer. Mold does not grow in sunlight.  Having a fresh breeze blowing through the house will take some of those nasty chemicals with it. Stop buying so many chemicals.  How many shampoos do you really need?  Chemicals to clean?  Maybe some more consumer education should occur so kids and their parents will realize that we are killing ourselves by all the chemicals that we willingly go out and purchase and use.
So what can you do to make your house healthier?  Open the windows and get some fresh air.  Fix leaks asap.  There are some absolutely amazing devices that are needed to make fresh air in your house.  Purchase allergy air purifiers.  Use them according to the square footage of the room and floor.  To be effective, an allergy air purifier must have hepa filtration. There are many other features that an allergy air purifier can have such as negative ion generation which produces fresh air and rids the air of mold, viruses, germs and bacteria.   Ultraviolet Light purifiers works by harming the cell walls of microbes and destroying them.  UV light has been used for decades in hospitals but why not in our houses?  Electrostatic air purifiers use the "corona discharge" to create an electromagnetic field.  Atoms pass through and gain a charge.  Depending on what side they go through, the atoms pick up a negative or positive charge and are attracted to each other falling harmlessly to the floor.  Activated charcoal mixed with Zeolite absorbs ions and molecules acts as a filter of odors, toxin removal and a chemical sieve.  Folks with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity benefit greatly because this particular allergy air purifier removes formaldehyde, perfume, chemicals and anything that smells from the air.  For MCS patients and other breathing conditions, it becomes much easier to breathe with this fresher air.
The topic of mold and indoor air quality is sparingly around.  Who wants to tell people not to buy carpeting?  Now the good news is that there are carpet manufacturers that are making carpeting made of natural fiber(not petroleum) wool, and these carpets are untreated.  A lot more expensive but the health benefits make it worth you investment.
