Five Reasons Environmental Control Often Fails

Eradication of dust mites would require such high levels of pesticide that such treatments would be harmful to humans. And, we always carry some mites on our hair and eyebrows that would be reintroduced to our bedding, starting the whole cycle again.

Remember, each mite lays 100 eggs during its short life and a new generation is produced every three weeks. So even if it was appropriate to use pesticides and mitacides on mattresses the thickness of a sheet, away from an allergic illness patient's skin (which, naturally it is not!), such poisons would not eliminate dust mites.

In terms of pet allergies, it is sometimes possible to eliminate the source of the allergen. However, we have already seen that, in most cases, the source of the allergen will not be removed from the home.

Reason #2 To have a positive effect, Environmental Control (EC) must drastically reduce levels of allergen.

For people with dust mite allergies, to have any real effect, EC must reduce dust mite populations to between one tenth and one hundredth of what they were before! And while it is not exactly known what degree of reduction would be required in terms of pet allergen, it is reasonable to suspect that similar reductions are required.

So as you might imagine, and Environmental Control program wol1ld have to be comprehensive and diligently followed to produce outcomes that would result in relief for allergy sufferers.

The bottom line is that whatever EC procedures are being followed, they must perform very effectively in order to make any meaningful reduction in the allergen load in a home. This inability to adequately reduce the amount of allergen, and therefore symptoms, is often a cause of failure of EC efforts.

Reason #3 EC efforts must be consistent and long term.

Since we already know that we can't eradicate the source of dust mite allergen and that pet allergen can linger for months and even years after the source is removed (when it even can be removed), EC efforts must be ongoing.

The sometimes drastic efforts of EC can be hard to sustain for months and years. EC can represent a real lifestyle change and, in today's busy world, it is hard to add much more in terms of tasks or complexity and sustain such activities consistently.

Reason #4 EC can be too complex to understand and implement correctly.

There are a lot of theories out there about what steps to take, often proposed by those selling products for that purpose. That doesn't mean those products don't provide a benefit, but it can be so confusing to allergy sufferers that they give up on any EC efforts at all

Reason #5 EC efforts can be expensive and finally out of reach for some people.

Many EC efforts involve relatively expensive products such as air cleaners and HEPA vacuum cleaners, not covered by insurance. For many people, such expenses are simply unaffordable.

To sum it all up, Environmental Control looks good on paper, but often fails miserably in the real world where patients need it the most. Given that EC is one of the medicine's primary strategies for preventing and managing allergic illnesses, this has been a real disappointment to people suffering with these diseases.

Until now.

New Technology

At last, Environmental Control can be an incredibly powerful weapon to prevent and man age allergic illness with the development of Anti-Allergen Technology. This technology allows EC to be highly effective, knocking indoor allergen counts down dramatically to levels that will provide real and significant relief to allergic illness sufferers; levels that can prevent the development of allergies in the first place. And, this technology is simple, non-toxic, scientifically proven to be effective and highly affordable.

The Anti-Allergen Technology That's Revolutionizing Environmental Control

Remember that an allergic reaction takes place when IgE antibodies in the immune system come into contact with a repetitive pattern of shapes contained of the surface of allergen proteins. You might recall that we used the example of keys floating around the body looking for locks that only they fit. When these "keys" come together with these "locks", an allergic reaction is the result.

New Life Healthy Home Services offers this new technique as a very simple and highly effective way of changing the shape of the allergen proteins, making it unrecognizable to the body as an allergen! In layman's term, the chemical or molecular structure of the allergen protein is not changed, but the shape of it is. And it is this shape that the antibody looks for in order to identify the substance as an allergen. So when you change the shape, there is no repetitive pattern of shapes that allow the body to identify the material as an allergen and therefore, there is no allergic reaction!

Another way of looking at it is that this new Anti-Allergen Technology disassembles the allergen locks. The lock itself is not melted down or changed into something else, and nothing is added nor taken away. In a very real way, the lock is still there. But a.~ the antibody "keys" roam the body looking for the locks that only they fit, these allergen "locks" appear as cylinders and tumblers and shackles and cases and screw. and rivet.' and so forth Because they do not appear as a "lock" to the body, the antibody "key" does not bind with then and there is no allergic reaction!

Allergy Relief Treatment provides an immediate reduction in allergen levels. In fact, most of the time, patients report a drastic improvement in symptoms within the first three nights when the bedroom has been completely cleaned and treated.

Even better, when properly applied, this treatment will provide a residual effect for up to six months! In homes where the source of allergies, such as pet, will not be removed or where allergy symptom are very severe, treatments may be required every three months.

Allergy Relief Treatment is applied to mattress, carpeting, upholstered furniture, rugs and window treatments that are safe to wet clean.

Allergy Relief Treatment can also be used to treat bedding in the washing machine. It is so effective that the treatment will remain effective for up to four subsequent ma- chine washings.

Allergy Relief Treatment is not tannic acid, which is sometimes recommended for a similar purpose. Tannic acid can easily discolor many fabrics and even when it has been "decolorized" can make fabrics brittle and subject to strange discoloration when exposed to sunlight.
