XMICROBE healthy homeMr. Gaard of The Villages offered:

My home is new and I wanted to keep my asset as good as possible.

I searched the web and saw the Healthier Environment Living Program. I called to see if they had a service to offer a way to manage the mold or mildew that can be destructive to my home as I leave the windows open often and I know there is high humidity in my home. They offered a free visit to meet and discuss their Healthier Verifications and services. Good thing because they found the beginning of mold during their sampling and my home was not even two years old.

The report they brought back from the lab was very interesting and easy to understand. There initial solution was to offer an anti microbial treatment so they took about an hour and misted their XMICROBE Technology anti microbial through the house. It was amazing the difference in the air within hours and even days later it was getting better. Since then the sampling has come back better each time from days after the treatment and now six months later.

They offered a small misting in the vents and around the main part of the house on the six month visit and it is nice to know about the quality of the environment you live in. Just like a doctor’s visit for me, this is a doctor’s visit for my home and it is really important to know how healthy it is. With tight funds being retired, it was very affordable and in the long run will save me a bunch from the troubles I could have coming!

Antibacterial wipes can still spread bacteriaHealth & Medicine

A new study by a team of researchers at the Welsh School of Pharmacy, Cardiff University, Wales, UK, has found that antimicrobial-containing wipes currently used to decontaminate surfaces in hospitals can spread pathogens after first use. The research highlights concerns as to the suitability of the wipes currently being deployed and the importance of a routine surveillance program in reducing risks of infection to patients.

Is your gym contagious?

Is your gym contagious?By Wina Sturgeon,
Adventure Sports Weekly
(adventuresportsweekly.com)

People are using tissues to turn doorknobs and staying away from crowds. Schools have closed down. And a lot more hand washing than ever before is going on. But can you get the swine flu from your gym? The answer is yes.

Think about that nasty dumbbell that’s been gripped by who-knows-how-many sweaty hands. Imagine how often the pin for a machine weight stack has been pinched between someone’s thumb and forefinger; the same two digits that person may have used to catch a cough or wipe a nose. You may avoid touching doorknobs with your bare hands, but what about the contamination of the pull-down bar on the lat machine?

Worse, the gym is a place where people sweat a lot and breathe hard. One infected person in a crowded aerobics class can do a lot of damage.

Even if you’ve already received the swine flu vaccine, the flu is not the only contagious illness going around. During this season, everyone’s susceptible to picking up a cold or other virus. And, though the H1N1 strain is dominant, it’s not the only strain of flu out there. Even if you’ve been vaccinated, you may be vulnerable to another type of flu virus.

Taking precautions at the gym has not yet become commonplace, but it soon will. You can start now to protect yourself. Here’s how: 

Mix up a solution of half isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and water in a spray bottle. Put this in a small backpack with a roll of paper towels and a plastic bag. Before using any free weight or machine, spray the surface you will be touching with a good shot of the alcohol mixture. Wait at least 30 seconds, then wipe it dry with a paper towel. Put the used towel in the plastic bag. At the end of your workout (though it’s a violation of the green ethic), throw away the bag of used paper towels.

Wash your hands before leaving, then use hand lotion to keep them moisturized. Frequently washing your hands can dry and flake the skin, causing minute cracks that are perfect openings for any stray bacteria or viruses to enter your body.

If using a spray bottle before every new exercise seems too much trouble, try wearing rubber gloves. The thick dishwashing kind, not thin latex gloves that can be easily torn or shredded in the rugged environs of the gym. Two things to remember when wearing rubber gloves while working out: they may interfere with your grip; and they must be removed before you touch any mucous membrane. That includes the eyes, lips and inside of the nose. These membranes are totally porous, and the briefest of touches will inoculate you with any cold or flu virus that happens to be on the fingers of the glove.

Spray the alcohol mixture on the handlebars of your spin bike. That mix you brought also comes in handy during fitness classes.

Stand in the back of the room for an aerobics class, so all that heavily breathed air goes forward, away from you.

Put on gloves before grabbing a step or a mat.

These precautions may be inconveniently time-consuming, even embarrassing to do. But accepting the inconvenience is a whole lot better than lying in bed, sick as a dog, because you picked up a bug at your gym.

Or, you can tell your Gym or Health Club to take a proactive approach against GERMS!

If you are a concerned customer and want a cleaner, healthier gym for your workout without relying on ineffective harsh toxic chemicals to keep the place clean, then you need to ask them to look into the Healthier Environment Living ProgramTM offering XMICROBE Products and Services.

Dr. Steven Bellantese DDS, is proud to be the first medical professional in Westchester County, NY, to adopt the Healthier Environment Living Program at his office in Bronxville.“I consider myself to be an ‘early adopter’ of new technologies” Dr. Bellantese confessed; “I am always looking for the best way to serve my patients with the latest dental techniques and the best materials.” (Dr Bellantese likes to stay ahead of the curve.)

As with most practitioners, Dr. Bellantese gets new patients through referrals from existing patients and other professionals. . “I want patients to know that I have their best interests in mind and that I am proactive in protecting their health on several levels” , ” I like the fact that XMICROBE is applied to ALL types of surfaces – especially hard to protect surfaces like carpets and furniture.” With XMICROBE taking care of the little things Dr. Bellantese can concentrate on the big things -his patients!

One important aspect of the H.E.L.P. program that helped him make his decision to apply the system was the fact that XMICROBE products are water based and environmentally friendly. He liked the idea that products are shipped in “condensed” form and mixed on site. This allows for less material waste and lower shipping weights – all good for the environment. Also important was the fact that the XMICROBE protectant was non-chemical in its anti-microbial technology – “Nowadays people tend to shy away from poisons and chemicals whenever possible, so the mechanical kill properties of the product fit perfectly with an ecological mindset – I like that.

I was selling my home and the potential buyers ordered a home inspection. The home inspector in his report noted FUNGAL GROWTH in the basement area. My worst fears came to life knowing that the sale of my home might fall through. My real estate agent told me he knew of a company offering an amazing service that will take care of the problem. I called the company and spoke with the owner. He told me about the Healthier Environment Living Program and the H.E.L.P. verification testing. It sounded great and I made a appointment. The gentlemen offering the H.E.L.P services was so Professional and Knowledgeable it took him less than thirty minutes to point out all the areas of growth and the source of the problem. He took a series of air and surface samples and sent them to a lab. The report he gave me was very easy to understand, and of course the results came back elevated. The solution was to offer cleaning of all affected areas and a surface treatment using H.E.L.P. XMICROBE Technology Antimicrobial throughout the house including the HVAC duct system and unit. He then performed a series of post cleaning air samples to verify that the home is clean. The lab results showed that the treatment was an amazing success. Not only did he cure the mold problem he also made a call to the potential buyers. He explained to the buyers the program and the H.E.L.P XMICROBE Technology Antimicrobial he used to treat the home. A day later the buyers gave me a call and told me that they are moving forward with the purchase of my home. I have never seen such a great service or the level of professionalism and Knowledge that the people from the H.E.L.P Program provide. I am now using the program in my new home and the results have been just as amazing. I do recommend everyone to contact a provider near you for all your Indoor Air and Surface Quality needs. See the test results below and you will be amazed.

What Is Organosilane Technology?

What Is Organosilane Technology?What Is Organosilane Technology?

Organosilane quaternary amine

Our unique XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial is a water-based solution technology which produces a durable microbiostatic coating on a broad range of textiles and many other surfaces, both porous and non-porous.

The chemistry of the XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial is unique.

A conventional quaternary ammonium salt (organo) is chemically spliced to a saline molecule, resulting in a highly active molecule  (3-trimethoxsilpropydimethylocadecyl ammonium chloride) that has both tenacious bonding capabilities as well as excellent antimicrobial properties.

What Is Organosilane Technology?Once applied to a target surface, it initially bonds to the surface on all available receptor sites (principally H+).

Afterward, stable bonds between remaining OH-sites on the molecule and the positive charge on the nitrogen atoms(N+) form, resulting in the creation of large copolymer involving the target and our help technology.

Since there is no unfixed organic saline once the water evaporates, there is no dislodgeable residue and no odor, leaching, off-gassing, migration, or diffusion of the molecule.

The XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial is truly unique.

All other conventional legal antimicrobials including quats, bleach, peroxides, phenols, triclosan, formaldehydes, paint formulations, etc., work on the basis of diffusion away from the treated surface.

The problem with these other products is their process promotes microbial adaptation, loss of effectiveness, and bleaching of poisons into the environment.

“ When my husband and I bought a rental property, it had been vacant for quite some time.  The musty smell was very overpowering.  We didn’t know what was causing the smell and we didn’t know what to do…..nobody would rent the house!   We called a Healthier Environment Living Program provider and they said they could really help us out.  They took some air samples and surface samples and were able to tell us what was causing the smell.  They used their XMICROBE antimicrobial treatment and retested a few days later.  All we can say, is the house feels and smells so much better!  The best part is we got the house rented three days after the H.E.L.P. team came out.    We are scheduled to have them again in another six months…it gives us a real peace of mind and actually allowed us to charge a HIGHER RENT!”

New Research Shows…Your Home Is Germier Than You Think!

Protect your home and auto with XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, “germs in the home can show up where you least expect them, even if you diligently try to keep your home clean. Despite good efforts by most to keep their homes germ free, over 65 percent of colds, 50 percent of all cases of diarrhea and 50 percent to 80 percent of food-borne illnesses are caught in the home, and common household items are often to blame.

So what is the most germ-ridden room in your house? It’s not the bathroom–it’s the kitchen. In fact, there could be up to 200 times more fecal bacteria on your kitchen cutting board than on your toilet seat. This is likely because people regularly disinfect their bathroom while kitchen items may be overlooked.”

And Miranda Hitti from WebMD Health News shares that there are “More Bacteria in the Bathtub Than in the Garbage Bin!”

Bottom line:  New research shows…Your home may be germier than you think!

Out of 32 places in the home, the top spots for bacteria are the toilet bowl, kitchen drain, kitchen sponge or counter-wiping cloth, bathtub, and kitchen sink., according to a new study.

The study and survey come from the Hygiene Council — which is funded by Reckitt Benckiser, the company that makes Lysol.

Researchers visited 35 U.S. homes, swabbing for bacteria in 32 locations in each home.

Here’s how those spots ranked, in terms of the average number of bacteria per square inch. Spots with the same average number of bacteria have the same rank.

  • Toilet bowl: 3.2 million bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen drain: 567,845 bacteria/square inch
  • Sponge or counter-wiping cloth: 134,630 bacteria/square inch
  • Bathtub, near drain: 119,468 bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen sink, near drain: 17,964 bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen faucet handle: 13,227 bacteria/square inch
  • Bathroom faucet handle: 6,267 bacteria/square inch
  • Bathroom sink, near drain: 2,733 bacteria/square inch
  • Pet food dish, inside rim: 2,110 bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen floor, in front of sink: 830 bacteria/square inch
  • Toilet floor, in front of toilet: 764 bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen countertop: 488 bacteria/square inch
  • Bathroom countertop: 452 bacteria/square inch
  • Garbage bin: 411 bacteria/square inch
  • Dish towel: 408 bacteria/square inch
  • Toy: 345 bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen tabletop: 344 bacteria/square inch
  • Home office phone or refrigerator door: 319 bacteria/square inch
  • Toilet seat: 295 bacteria/square inch
  • Bathroom light switch: 217 bacteria/square inch
  • Microwave buttons: 214 bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen chopping board: 194 bacteria/square inch
  • Child-training potty: 191 bacteria/square inch
  • Infant changing mat and infant high chair: 190 bacteria/square inch
  • Kitchen phone: 133 bacteria/square inch
  • Bathroom door’s inside handle: 121 bacteria/square inch
  • Toilet’s flush handle: 83 bacteria/square inch
  • TV remote control: 70 bacteria/square inch
  • Home office computer keyboard: 64 bacteria/square inch
  • Home office computer mouse: 50 bacteria/square inch

And if that isn’t bad enough, another study by the National Institue for Health showed that Bacteria in Household Dust Triggers Asthma Symptoms.

New research shows that bacteria lurking in household dust produce chemicals that may trigger asthma and asthma-related symptoms such as wheezing. These bacterial chemicals, called endotoxins, particularly those found on bedroom floors, were linked with increased respiratory problems in adults.

Researchers at NIEHS and the University of Iowa found a strong association between endotoxin levels and the prevalence of diagnosed asthma, asthma symptoms, asthma medication use, and wheezing. These relationships were strongest for bedroom floor and bedding dust.

“Interestingly, endotoxin exposure worsens asthma symptoms in adults, regardless of whether an individual has allergies or not,” said Peter S. Thorne, Ph.D., a researcher at the University of Iowa and lead author on the paper. “This suggests that exposure to endotoxin increases asthma risk even in non-allergic individuals.”

So what is a homeowner to do to try to protect the family from all of these dangerous microorganisms?
