When I first began the research phase of the MicronOne® project I was lucky to personally have the opportunity to visit with some true heroes of today’s medical field. Dr. Robert Klein of Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI truly supported my desire to understand the fundamentals of allergen avoidance and helped me better understand what exactly the know micro-toxins that occur naturally in our home looked and behaved like. At first I was under the impression that my son was allergic to Dust Mites, the fact is that Dust Mites themselves are not the allergic trigger, it’s actually the enzyme that they use to digest their food that is the root cause of the allergic response. The fecal pellet of the dust mite is just the right size and shape to easily become airborne and quickly lodge itself in the soft moist tissue that lines our respiratory system. From there it is easily transferred into the body’s blood stream and at that point does the allergy symptom cycle begin to trigger. I owe an additional great deal of gratitude to Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, having met with both of these wonderful physicians on numerous occasions I learned so very much about the relationship between toxin avoidance and the body’s ability to remain healthy, as well as the critical relationship between sleep and health and well being. In fact I should tell you on a personal note that both of these men live what the preach, I can recall sitting with Dr. Oz in his office at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and he asked if it was ok if he ate at his desk while we talked about CleanRest® and my vision for MicronOne®, it was at that time that I saw he eat his ever famous recommended brown rice, beans with walnuts sprinkled on top. The fact remains that the development of MicronOne® technology was born from my own personal desire to provide my family with the protection they needed but was truly unavailable, a pore structure so small that no other product available could meet our level of protection, while remaining comfortable and breathable. However, without the help of medical leaders, like Drs. Klein, Roizen and Oz, I would have been hard pressed to truly understand exactly how to define both the words “Protection” and “Success”.
It’s time to kick back and go on vacation, but are you gonna let allergies ruin your trip? As you may already know form experience, hotel rooms can be a hot bed for allergens. Here’s a great list of ways to make your hotel room allergy free, from the Allergy Buyer’s Club:
1. Very few hotels have “green rooms” but it’s worth asking. Green rooms carry less allergen than traditional rooms. They are specially equipped with hardwood floors rather than carpets, blinds rather than drapes, hypoallergenic bedding, and allergy free dust mite encasings.
2. Get a non-smoking room and if you are allergic to pets, a room that has not had pets stay in it.
3. Take a spray along to kill the mold and remove the dust in the air conditioning system. I recommend “Filter Plus”, available at Home Depot.
4. Ask that the air conditioner filter be changed before you arrive.
5. Hotel room a little dry? Throw a few wet towels around, or turn on the shower to fill-up the room with steam and keep your sinuses moist. Keep using your saline spray frequently. We don’t recommend asking the hotel for a humidifier - many of them only spray around ugly bacteria.
6. Allergic to dust mites? Take your own dust mite pillow encasings with you. You might try taking your own allergy free pillow if you travel by car.
7. If you are allergic to mold, do not get a room near the swimming pool- it is likely to have a higher concentration of mold spores.
8. Ask the hotel to provide you with a hypoallergenic, feather free pillow.
9. Ask that the room not be sprayed with scented air freshening sprays before you arrive.
