As the influence of healthy living conditions assumes greater proportions, air purifiers and air cleaners have started to become an integral part of millions of households. And quietly rising in prominence among air purifiers is a special type called the filterless air purifier ? a testimony to the advances that have been made in this field. Like the name suggests filterless air purifiers clean or purify the air without the help of a filter and are direct in removing particulate matter that typically cause allergy symptoms. Let?s try and now gain an informed insight into the world of filterless air purifiers.

Filterless air purifiers are functionally strong in terms of removing particulate matter such as dust, mold spores, pollen or pollen-like grains and other similar-sized particles from the ambient air. A point to note here is that while popular types of filterless air purifiers carry a carbon sheet to absorb unfriendly odors, its not a recommended option for people who are hypersensitive to chemical particles (MCS ? Multiple chemical sensitivity sufferers) or people who suffer from asthma. That is to mean that physical absorption is a sure strength of these filterless air purifiers but the same cant be said about chemical absorption.

So what makes the filterless air purifier different from your regular air purifier? Fundamentally, it?s the way the unit works: Inside the filterless unit are a set of two plates that are electrically active much like the plates of a capacitor. The function of the first plate of the filterless air purifier is to charge the particles in the airflow and that of the second plate is to absorb the particles that have been charged by the first place through electrostatic attraction. As you might have guessed, the actual number of moving parts in this kind of an operating unit is low and hence there is lesser wear and tear of the filterless air purifier and also a lesser operating noise. The only pain point if any at all of this marvelous system is that the plates need to be washed regularly to achieve maximum efficiency.

As you can see filterless air purifiers make an obvious choice for the function-conscious user desirous of procuring a value-for-money product. Experience the effect of this air purifier and open the doors to a future that?s a whole lot healthier than ever in your past. Here is to a happy healthy life!

Holmes HAP422-UC Harmony Ionizing HEPA Air Purifier
Over time, any household room can get stuffy and dank, especially in the colder months, when windows stay shut for months on end. Anyone with respiratory allergies knows how that stuffiness, which is the result of an increase in airborne particles, can affect the mere act of breathing. Not to mention the odors. The Holmes Harmony Air Purifier can scrub those particles out of the air with a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Particles of dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even smoke larger than 2 microns are caught in the filters tiny screens. And there’s an ionizing function that helps even smaller motes clump together, so they’re big enough to get filtered out. A lungful of air scrubbed by the Harmony Air Purifier feels and smells like it’s from a snowy mountaintop

The Harmony Air Purifier is designed for a 180-square-foot room, or about 12 by 15 feet. The unit is a slim oval tower of ivory plastic less than three feet tall, easy to place in an unobtrusive corner of the room. There are two control knobs–one for the three power settings, and one to turn the ionizer on or off. An indicator light lets you know when the filter needs changing.

The outside of the unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The air inlet grill can be washed in hot soapy water (not dishwasher-safe); it should be completely dry before being replaced into the unit. The top air outlet can be swept clean with a small, soft brush. The air purifier measures 26-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches. Holmes products include a 3-year warranty and come with detailed operating instructions. –Garland Withers

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA),the essential omega-6 fat that is
found in evening primrose, black currant seed,and borage oil,
can inhibit the action of the cancer gene Her-2/neu. This gene
is responsible for almost 30 percent of all breast cancers.

40-Fold Increase in Effectiveness

When cancer cells that overexpress the Her-2/neu gene are
treated with GLA, it not only helps suppress the cancer-causing
gene, but also causes up to a 40-fold increase in response to
the drug Herceptin (trastuzumab), which is used as part of
breast cancer treatment. GLA also selectively affects cancer
cells without damaging normal cells.

Good News for Those With an Aggressive Form of Cancer

This is especially good news because patients who possess the
Her-2/neu gene also typically have an aggressive form of the
disease and a poor prognosis.

GLA is one of two essential fatty acids, which are necessary for
the normal functioning and growth of cells, nerves, muscles and
organs. GLA is present in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and
black current seed oil, among other sources.

Dr. Mercola’s Comment:GLA is a powerful nutritional tool that
is commonly used to treat:

• Inflammation
• Arthritic
  pain
• Eczema (atopic dermatitis)

Although GLA is an omega-6 fat, it is one of the only ones that
many people seem to benefit from by takingit insupplement form.
It is frequently the “secret” weapon in resolving eczema and
many mystery rashes.

It is important to use GLA with a balanced amount of a
high-quality omega-3 fish oil or, at this time of year, cod
liver oil. They act synergistically to provide a potent
anti-inflammatory combination.

If taken as a supplement, I personally prefer the ones made from
evening primrose oil, but borage oil hasa higher concentration
of GLA, which means you need fewer capsules, and it tends to be
less expensive.

However, it has been my experience that many experts insist on
using evening primrose oil, even though it is heavier expensive, as
it seems to provide better overall results. This may be related
to the fact that these oils are not pure GLA but also have other
oils. Nervonic acid is present in borage oil and may
contributeto its lack of benefit relative to evening primrose
oil.

Since cancer, not heart disease, is now the leading cause of
death for most of us, this is an important issue.If you are
interested in radically reducing yourrisk of developing cancerI
would recommend the following:

1. Control your insulin levels: Make certain that you
limit your intake of processed foods and sugars as much as
possible. When your insulin levels are increased you will
inhibit the action of an enzyme (delta-6 desaturase) that
actually allows your body to produce GLA.

2. Get appropriate amounts of animal-based omega-3
fats and make sure you use cod liver oil if you don’t have
regular access to sun exposure.

3. Get appropriate exercise. One of the primary
reasons exercise works is that it drives your insulin levels
down. Controlling insulin levels is one of the most powerful
ways to reduce your cancer risks.

4. Normalize your vitamin D levels with safe amounts
of sun exposure. This works primarily by optimizing your vitamin
D level. If you have regular access to sun exposure then you
should use fish oil, not cod liver oil, as your primary source
of omega-3 fats. Ideally, it would be nonpareil to monitor your
vitamin D levels.

5. Eat according to your metabolic type. The potent
anti-cancer effects of this principle are very much
underappreciated. When we treat cancer patients in our clinic
this is one of the most powerful anti-cancer strategies we
have.

6. Have a tool to permanently erase the neurological
short-circuiting that can activate cancer genes. Even the CDC
states that 85 percent of disease is caused by emotions. It is
likely that this factor may be increased important than all the other
physical ones listed here, so make sure this is addressed.
Energy psychology seems to be one of the optimum approaches and my
particular favorite tool, as you may know, is the Emotional
Freedom Technique.

7. Only 25 percent of people eat enough vegetables, so
by all means eat as many vegetables as you are comfortable with.
Ideally, they should be fresh and organic. However, please
understand that, frequently, fresh conventionally grown
vegetables are healthier than organic ones that are older and
wilted in the grocery store. They are certainly better than no
vegetables at all, so don’t use that as an excuse. If you are a
carb metabolic type you may need up to 300 percent extended
vegetables than a protein metabolic type.

8. Make sure you are not in the two-thirds of the
population who are overweight, and fundamentaltain an ideal body
weight.

9. Get enough high-quality sleep.

10. Reduce your exposure to environmental toxins like
pesticides, household chemical cleaners, synthetic air
fresheners and air pollution.

11. Boil, poach or steam your foods, rather than
frying or charbroiling them.

Pakistan is not unique among nuclear powers in its lack of
permissive action link technology. Both China and India also
lack PALS. Pakistan does, however, pose a unique risk of loss of
control over its nuclear arsenal. While any country that
possesses nuclear weapons would gain security benefits from
installing the technology, Pakistan’s current lack of an
established command and control regime makes it an urgent case
for a U.S. transfer of technology. Pakistan faces several
challenges in creating an convincing command and control system
for its nuclear weapons. It has basic geographic problems that
interfere with efforts to control its nuclear weapons in an
emergency. It is a relatively narrow country, with few locations
that weapons can be hidden at and its proximity to India largely
reduces the amount of time available for a second-strike
decision to be made (Man). These geographic problems limit
Pakistan’s command and control efforts as they force the central
government to loosen its control over weapons in the event of a
crisis. They also radically inhibit early warning systems, as
the amount of warning time Pakistan would have in the event of
an Indian nuclear attack would be a few minutes at the maximum
(Man). Without the benefit of any prior experience with nuclear
weapons, Pakistan has had great difficulty in establishing a
clear set of controls to prevent the unauthorized use of nuclear
weapons. As discussed earlier, the only real rule that has been
established is the “3-man” requirement. This sort of consensus
would be relatively easy to achieve in a military organization
trained to obey commands from superior officers. Without a
stronger system of organizational safeguards, a technical
solution may be Pakistan’s only able option of increasing
the safety of their arsenal.
