Why air purification can help your skin . It is strange how the simple things in life are often the most effective in transforming our health. Having suffered with Psoriasis since aged 8, it was only at age 44 that Istumbled upon something that, I believe, may be very valuable for fellow Psoriasis (and Eczema) sufferers. It all came about, would you believe, from a sneezing fit! A few months ago I suffered an Inguinal Hernia and was laid up for a week following the operation. In case you re not aware, a Hernia is a tear in the abdominal wall - in my case it was caused, of all things, by a sneezing fit! Following the operation, the wound was quite sore and for the first few days it was very painful to walk or move about. When I coughed or sneezed, it felt like someone was extremely painful and literally felt as if someone was stabbing me in the abdomen. But, the same sneezing fit that caused my Hernia and gave me so much pain after the operation, has also helped my long term health and, more significantly, my skin. It was following a sneezing fit, whilst laying in bed, that I noticed the particles of dust floating in the air, reflected in the sunlight. I've seen them before - and I'm sure you have too - from time to time when the light catches them just right. But, I've never paid it much attention. However, I am allergic to house dust amoungst other things and seeing how the sneezing fits had given me a Hernia and were now causing me so much pain, I decided to find out more about household pollutants. I wanted to see what, if anything, could be done to stop the sneezing and to 'clean' the air. What i actually discovered as something that has had a dramatic effect on my health and, in particular, my skin. Researching the medical databases I found that there is far more than particles of dust in the air. There are literally hundreds of pathogens including bacteria, viruses, mold, spores, dust, chemicals etc and scientific papers show that these can have a wide variety of adverse effects on our health. They do a lot more than just cause sneezing fits. Many common household items emit pollutants that affect our immune system. Psoriasis is acknowledged to be an 'immune-related' disorder and, as a life long sufferer, it suddenly occurred to me that something as simple as cleaning the environment in which we sleep, live and work could have a dramatic effect not just on our health - but also on our skin! Ninety four percent (94%) of all respiratory ailments are caused by polluted air according to the American Medical Association, which also reported that one-third of our national health bill is for causes directly attributable to indoor air pollution such as toxic mold damage and black mold problem. The U.S. Government Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns people that 'Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health but may not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant effects. EPA studies of human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasion more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants are of particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors. In recent years, comparative risk studies performed by EPA and its Science Advisory Board (SAB) have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health.' The list of health problems caused by airborne pollutants in the home includes allergies, asthma, breathing difficulties, cancer, central nervous system effects...dermatitis, skin rashes, hair loss...irritability, itching of the nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin, or any area, kidney failure...sinus congestion, sinus problems...skin redness, sleep disorders, sneezing fits (more than three sneezes in a row, happening often) sore throat, tremors [shaking]...the list goes on and on. I knew that I was on to something. It wa all very depressing at first, but then I came across good news. In my research, I came across new high tech, air purification units that are compact and affordable. Ionic units have been tested in studies and one recent study at Leeds University reported that these units have become: 'a powerful weapon in the fight against hospital-acquired infection'. You can read more at: http://www.taylor-jackson.com/air-purifiers.htm For me, the effects were immediate - no more smeezing, no grogginess, more energy and ... as airborne pollutants come into contact with our skin, cleaning the air of known pollutants and irritants can only have a positive effect on our skin. The good news is that we got in touch with the manufacturers of the very best units so that we could offer them to our customers because I feel certain that you'll find them as helpful as I have. We have limited stock and we have decided to make these units available to our existing customers this weekend BEFORE they are made available to any new customers as from Monday next week so that you get the opportunity to get your unit(s) in the first batch when it arrives next week. I think you'll find it life-changing. To find out more, click here air-purifiers.htm I hope you have found this information useful and would welcome your feedback with any suggestions and comments.
