As a General Surgeon and Head of Wound Care for a metropolitan hospital, I look for ways to benefit my patients in their constant struggles against bacteria and a host of other infections.
Other than topical washes and education about controlling their condition, there was little I could do for them. That is no longer the case!
Thanks to the Healthier Environment Living Program™ there is now an environmentally friendly program that is highly effective in destroying a host of harmful bacteria and other dangerous microorganisms.
The Healthier Environment Living Program™ consists of 3 valuable tools in achieving healthier indoor environment; Education, Testing, and Solutions are key components to the program and what medical professionals look for in treatment of their patients.
My Healthier Environment Living Program™ professional tested and treated my office, my waiting room, my clinical facility, and my home. In all cases elevated bacteria counts were reduced to exceptional levels.
I highly recommend to every patient I see to implement to Healthier Environment Living Program™ into every facet of their daily lives. Their homes, laundry, work spaces, and vehicles should have this protection applied.

The Problem
As stated by Kristen Gerencher’s in the Wall Street Journal’s Health Matters - It’s the invisible threat that lurks whenever you stay in a hospital: hospital-acquired infections, the potentially dangerous bugs that can be spread around the facility when doctors, nurses and staff fail to wash their hands, sterilize medical equipment or take appropriate precautions with high-risk patients. The infections are especially sneaky because most symptoms show up after you leave the hospital, typically within 30 days of being discharged.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office weighed in this week on the state of hospital infections in a report that urged the Department of Health and Human Services to play a bigger role in overseeing recommended practices for countering infections. The GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, also called for linking the four databases used to collect information on hospital infections to get a more consistent and national picture of the problem.
About 2 million Americans get hospital-acquired infections every year, says Lisa McGiffert, Austin, Texas-based manager of Consumers Union’s Stop Hospital Infections campaign. Some patients make a full recovery after a simple course of antibiotics and others battle invasive infections for years.
Almost 100,000 people die from hospital infections every year, making the bugs the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., McGiffert says. People who get seriously ill but survive often face many costs, not to mention their suffering and disability, she says. “They have doctors, medicines, wound care, physical therapy that sometimes goes for years and years.”
Nationwide, a standard estimate is that hospital infections cost $5 billion to $6 billion a year, she says, noting that it’s likely to be much higher because that figure is 10 years old.
“If the federal agencies focused on it, they could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars,” McGiffert says. “In 20 years or even in 10 years this could be a really rare occurrence if everyone concentrated on it, put the resources into it.”
Culture change
One promising development is the culture change that’s starting to catch on at hospitals, she says.
“Hospitals are at least aware of the problem and setting goals,” says McGiffert, who runs the Consumers Union site StopHospitalInfections.org. “Before, they were saying these were inevitable.”
There are 22 states that require hospitals to report their infection rates. Several bills in Congress would create national reporting standards and requirements and impose a mandated ratio of infection-control professionals per number of hospital beds.
Some states have been leading the push as well. Pennsylvania now requires hospitals to report the incidence of all four major types of infections and screen for an antibiotic-resistant bug known as MRSA. Next year New York will begin mandating the state’s hospitals to disclose the ratio of infection-control professionals per bed. A good number to aim for is 1 per 100, McGiffert says. “In order to control infections, you have to have a well-organized program that involves everyone in the hospital.”
McGiffert says she’s seen a lot of progress in the five years Consumers Union has run its advocacy campaign. But there’s much work ahead. “We really don’t have a good system for assessing the progress we make because we don’t have an organized national system for collecting the incidences of infection when they occur.”
The Solution
The solution is to take a different approach to managing the environment inside your medical facility.
The first step in putting your medical facility ahead of the competition and protecting your air and surfaces from bacteria, mold and mildew is to become an IASQ™ Certified Professional! With our one-of-a-kind Indoor Air and Surface Quality™ training, you can become knowledgeable in the IASQ™ Industry and offer Healthier Environments to promote safer, cleaner air and surfaces to your existing and future customers, as well as stay ahead of the competition by having access to the IASQ™ Certification Course 24/7! From here, you will have the knowledge and training you need to better manage your indoor environments by using unique antimicrobial technologies and cleaning techniques.
So What’s Next?
You see, protecting your medical facility from bacteria, mold and mildew is easier than ever with XMICROBE™ unique antimicrobial technology. Our XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial offers an antimicrobial protection that works every minute of every day with just one simple application and it’s affordable and long-lasting. XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial creates a durable bond to the surfaces of your medical facility preventing further growth, spreading of bacteria and cross-contamination. Protect your customers and employees and ease your mind as XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial works to control Microbial growth.
If you’re wondering how the XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial works, take a look!
XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial is a EPA registered revolutionary product. And it prevents the growth of an amazingly wide array of bacteria, mold, mildew, algae and yeast by acting like a bed of microscopic spikes that pierce and physically rupture the cell walls of microbes without the use of poisons. Since XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial’s methodology is mechanical instead of poisons, it does not create “Superbugs,” which are microbes that build up a resistance to treatment, and since each microscopic spike is only about 1000 the diameter of a human hair, they are too small to harm large cells in mammals. This is a totally new approach to providing long-lasting antimicrobial protection. What makes the XMICROBE™ Antimicrobial unique is its ability to create a strong bond with a multitude of surfaces (porous and nonporous), forming highly durable and protective coating.
Here’s the bottom line…
If you want a cleaner, healthier facility for your clients, employees, and yourself without relying on ineffective harsh toxic chemicals to keep the place clean, then you need the Healthier Environment Living Program™.
