This is a post about keeping our home environment safer, healthier, and for that matter - happier. I’m going to share what works best, hands down, and what you should avoid like the plague.. (Ozone cleaners) and why. Plus, you’ll learn how to make your own dirt cheap air cleaner for any area of your home, be thrilled to see how easy it is, and how cheap compared to market alternatives - yet MORE EFFECTIVE!
Heck, the air purifiers are so easy to make, you could do what this guy in China did- and make them for SALE! (He’s selling them all over the far East - You could have your own cottage industry too! ( :>) )
Some background to this investigation - first:
As if the traumas of 2020 - 2024 were insufficient, they sent in the clowns,..I mean drones, followed shortly thereafter by peculiar particle filled fogs.. and the social media airways went inevitably bezerk.
You have to admit, this fog episode coming in on the heels of the other-wordly drone series, is right out of a 1964 Twilight Zone Episode that they cut, saying - ‘Nah, can it, .. It’s not believable enough’…
Anyway, as soon as the bizzare fog stories came over the wire, I hit the search engines and came up with a wealth of information on….. you might have guessed…
HOUSEHOLD AIR CLEANERS.
In my house, we are particular about what we eat and drink. Anything genetically modified, Natamycin in cheeses, calcium chloride in pickles, food coloring (natural or not), soy or corn products, sodium nitrate, farm raised fish, and so on, never make it into my cart or pantry. We eat organic breads, cereals, and vegetables, because - in a nutshell - prevention is much cheaper than cure. We don’t drink coke or sodas of any kind, preferring sparkling spring water, and don’t use tap water even for our dogs. For cooking, drinking, tea and coffee, we visit an upstate NY Spring, and load up 40 gallons a month. Though, the greatest toxic load I spare my family comes from one particular thing we won’t touch for any reason- and that is a pharmaceutical product.
But as much as we do, there is still the chem trails and air quality concerns that started well before the fog rolled in..
So, I did my due diligence and researched air cleaners. I can’t clean the outdoors, but God does what I can’t. I do pray for my home and community and He’s never let me down. This irregular fog, for example, has not been in my area at all. Thank God.
Because our homes are our castles - and ought to be a safe place to repair to, to lay ourselves down and sleep in peace. (As the Good Book says - ‘For the Lord only maketh us to ‘dwell in safety’. (Psalm 4:8 - A prayer I say nearly nightly - especially lately.)
What I learned in my studies the last few days, right off the bat, was that HEPA filters are the way to go,. and that OZONE air cleaners (I had one).. are definitely not. In this post, I will show you why ozone air purifiers are completely counterproductive, making them not only a waste of money, but actually harmful.
THEN I also learned (too late I’m afraid) to NOT run out and buy a household air filter BEFORE reading what I am about to present to you.. Oops. Before researching this, I jumped the gun, went online and wasted $ on an air purifier, which is already making it’s way here. But no worries, it will afford me this innate researcher’s chance to ‘test and compare’.
BTW, all of this is open source information that you can find yourself online, though I have pieced together a tremendous selection of data clips - to make your life easy; It’s not Biblical studies which ‘freely I have received and freely give’ - so there is a paywall to encourage and enable me to keep up the good work. And anyway as the Good Book says - The Workman is worthy of his hire’…. \ :>} )
In a future segments of this post, I’ll share about nature’s own air cleaning element, that in current circumstances, might be the one thing you’ll want to add to the mix, to be sure you are giving yourself the best air possible for you and your family.
So let’s dig into this subject… a tremendous treatese on - CLEARING THE FOG
