A small aside on the sick building issue. A few years back, I was working in a high rise office building in downtown San Francisco. When I first started working there, I came down with the worst cold I had experienced in over 10 years. I was sneezing, coughing and generally miserable for weeks.

Over a period of about three years the symptoms would come and go, but I always seemed to have some residual respiratory distress. Then one fall, I was moved into smaller and more confined room that contained several laser printers and noticed that I was wheezing and having difficulty breathing.

Then I would go home on the weekends and feel fine. Monday morning came and I would get sick again. As soon as I came inside of the building I would have difficulty breathing and start coughing. It progressed to the point where I would be coughing nearly continuously, and would be unable to sleep, because I would begin coughing and could not stop.

Over time my condition worsened to the point where I was unable to breathe and developed bronchitis. I was absolutely miserable. In desperation, I took a couple of sick days and visited my doctor to try to determine why I could not shake the "cold".

At the first visit, he prescribed an inhaler and ordered some tests. For a time I continued working in the building, but noticed that shortly after arriving at work, I would begin to cough and had difficulty breathing without my inhaler. Finally, my doctor removed me from the environment for a month, during which time I recovered. He then did a number of airway challenge tests, then diagnosed my condition as "occupational asthma".

The air in my work environment which was in a closed system had the pollutants from copy machines, laser printers, and recirculating air. This had caused me to have hyper reactive airways, causing my inability to breathe. I was told that I had the choice of leaving this job and find employment elsewhere, or resort to being dependent upon steroids and an inhaler for the remainder of my life.

I decided that it was more important to be able to breathe than to work, so I quit my job, went through a period of disability and then found employment elsewhere. Now I wonder if I had known about and been able to employ a Living Air system in my workplace at that time, perhaps I might have been spared this agonizing experience and the damage to my lungs that ensued from this exposure.

Although this damage to my lungs gives me only minor difficulty now and is less troublesome, I still have episodes when breathing is difficult and I am convinced that my lungs though much better after ten years, were seriously compromised by working in a building that did not have clean pure air for me to breathe. Fortunately for me, I am now "working" in my home in a place where the outdoor air is very clean and constantly renewed by the redwood forest which surrounds my home. The clean air here has contributed to my recovery greatly.

Of the critical necessities all living entities must have for survival, the most important is abundant, clean Air. You can live only a short while without it, a little longer without water, a little longer without food, sleep and indefinitely without sex - and though it is necessary to carry on the species, it is not necessary for individual survival.

The brilliant, sudden flash of a lightning bolt is testimony to both nature's beauty and power. As each bolt races across the sky, the tremendous electrical current transforms oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3). Ozone, of course, protects us from harmful ultraviolet rays; but did you know that ozone also helps purify the air outdoors? That's ozone at work. And it is this natural process that our air purifying system simulates indoors.

It's that same process that enables our air purifying system to eliminate the chemical gasses and particulate matter that are found in tobacco smoke, which contains many substances similar to size and irritation to common pollutants found in the home.

Systems have been developed that have been scientifically proven to eliminate odors, smoke and even second-hand tobacco smoke. Tobacco smoke is one of the most complex indoor air contaminants known.

Are you bothered by pet odors and dander, mold and mildew, dust mites, toxic fumes from household cleaners, diaper odors, accumulated cooking odors? Do not wait until your respiratory system is damaged by indoor air pollutants. Request additional information via email.

When your family turns on the faucet......how much contamination in the tap water is okay with you? Did you know that experts and agencies which regulate our public water distribution systems have established acceptable levels of various pollutants in our tap water, including chemicals and even human waste?

The buddhist tradition has a saying,
"Before enlightenment, it is chopping wood and carrying water.
After enlightenment, it is chopping wood and carrying water."

Today everywhere people are "carrying water" to drink in water bottles of various shapes and sizes. Having good tasting, clean, pure water is an absolute necessity in maintaining health. Why buy it from the grocery store when you can have it in your home, for a fraction of the cost, plus the benefit of knowing that it really is pure?

The body requires it in the process of waste management... toxins in our surroundings are transported into the body, stored in the fatty tissues and when we use that stored fat to generate energy, the toxins are released into the blood and sometimes carried into the cellular structure or into newly developing tissues.

The body requires this universal solvent (water, pure H2O) to dissolve and carry waste materials and toxins out of the body in order to dispose of them. If your water is not pure, or has a bad taste, the natural tendency is to either not drink enough or revert to drinking other liquids. Unfortunately, these substitutes do not have the same cleansing effect of water, so the body has to work harder to clean out the detrious from metabolism and exercise. Clean pure abundant water is necessary for life, and is second in importance only to clean pure air.

You can obtain a water purifying system that combines three brilliant technologies, borrowed directly from nature, to cleanse unwanted pollutants from your tap water. This perfectly natural cleansing process provides abundant, healthy and great-tasting water for your family, right from the tap - all for just pennies a day.

Are you affected by light deprivation, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?

Today we understand that the same light that has cleansed our air and water through the ages plays an important role in our own biological functions, affecting how we feel and our general well being. Like a plant in a closet, the human spirit deprived of real light begins to feel the negative effect. Our indoor sunshine system works to replace the natural benefits of spending a day in the sun without the risks of damaging rays that your skin doesn't need. You can obtain a system that uses high-intensity rays to give you maximum benefit in minimum time. For more information send an email request.

What is Outdoor Light Deprivation (OLD)?

OLD is typically defined as a depression caused by lack of sunlight due to geography and extended periods of time indoors. One manifestation of OLD is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
