H1N1, Not In My House

You have undoubtedly been overwhelmed through the press and media about the novel H1N1 (swine flu) virus to the point of almost pulling your hair out, so I won't go in to details about the ins-and-outs of the virus. Suffice it to say that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has compiled all the necessary information you'd need to learn about the virus, and they're constantly updating and providing you with the latest info.

With the cooler months approaching throughout most of the United States, seasonal influenza in general becomes a heightened concern and it seems we all rush out of our way to get our vaccines, visit our doctor, wash our hands more often and avoid the contagious bugger at all costs. H1N1 is now on the list for 2009 of yucky viruses we don't want, and we'll all be a bit more cautious to stay out of its path.

One important aspect of the virus, yet so often neglected, is the simple fact that the influenza & H1N1 virus can spread so easily through our homes and directly into our body, just by breathing. Think about it. The virus can enter your home through a countless number of ways and all that has to happen for the virus to spread is for your heating or air conditioning to kick on. These systems are designed to draw air from one area, cool or heat the air, then displace the air into the rooms again. What's to stop the system from spreading the virus along with it? There's no "big bad wolf" waiting in your furnace to gobble up the swine flu, so who's going to do the job?

A Second Wind air purifier from ComfortGurus.com can do the job. Second Wind manufactures photo-catalytic, UV germicidal air purifiers that integrate seamlessly into your existing heating & air conditioning system. Second Wind uses a patented process of photo-catalytic oxidation (PCO) and UV germicidal light. This process renders the virus or bacteria unable to reproduce. Second Wind units are specifically designed to give the maximum UV radiation dosage to completely alter the DNA/RNA of viruses of this type. Did you know technology like this even existed... pretty neat huh?

Through various tests by universities and other independent research & development groups, Second Wind can proudly state that, "Second Wind Air Purifier will destroy Type A Influenza including the Swine Flu (H1N1)." Second Wind units have a class II medical device (#k980745) status, registered with the EPA as a pesticidal device (#73112). Second Wind has done extensive independent testing on various similar agents and all testing has shown a dramatic reduction of the levels of the agents. Second Wind UV units produce the highest UV intensity on the market today. Their models 1910, 1930, 2000 Series, 3000 Series, 5000 Series, 9000 Series, 8000PFP and 7500PFP will produce the desired results in residential and commercial HVAC systems.

You would think that these "DNA Altering" pieces of equipment would be astronomical in price, but they're not, not even close. Try a couple hundred dollars. That's pocket change when you think about the doctor bills you could accumulate with a family sick with the flu this season.
