The answer is really quite simple.
It's all due to the oxidation defense system, within your body,
which utilizes a special blend of enzymes. Have you ever
cut yourself on accident and then used hydrogen peroxide on
the wound? What happened? The hydrogen peroxide started to fizz
or bubble when it made contact with your wound, right? But why?
It's due to the reaction of certain enzymes within our body
that protects us from hydro peroxides, ozone, hydroxyls, super
oxides and more. One example is Glutathione peroxidase. It is
a peroxidase found in humans, which contains selenocysteine.
It uses glutathione as an electron donor and is active with
both hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxide substrates.
Another enzyme is Catalase. Present in the peroxisomes of nearly
all aerobic cells, it serves to protect the cell from the toxic
effects of hydrogen peroxide by catalyzing its decomposition
into molecular oxygen and water without the production of free
radicals. Superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) catalyses the dismutation
reaction of the toxic superoxide radical to molecular oxygen
and hydrogen peroxide and thus forms a crucial part of the cellular
antioxidant defense mechanism. Your body also contains
many other antioxidants to help protect you from oxidation.
More and more of the foods we eat and the supplements we take
are being loaded with antioxidants as well.
To put things in plain english;
your body defends itself against the five ions our air purifier
line creates naturally. But mold, bacteria, viruses and other
simple organisms and biological contaminants do not have the
same defense mechanisms that we possess. Therefore, the
ions our purifier line produces are deadly to those simple organisms,
but won't harm people or their pets at the low levels created.
However, air purifiers that rely on high ozone levels can cause
bodily harm!
We often get asked "how can
such low levels of these ions be effective?" There is also
a simple answer to that question. We do it through redundant
oxidizers. Have you ever heard the term "the whole is greater
than the sum of its parts?" The whole combination of all
five ions produced will provide greater results than any one
individual ion. While complex organisms, such as your
body, have different defenses for each individual ion created,
simple organisms such as mold and bacteria do not. The combination
of all five ions attacking a simple organisms works better than
a high concentration of ozone alone. This all boils down to
a safe yet extremely effective air purifier. This is all possible
only through our exclusive patent pending PCO (AHPCO nano Nickel
HCT) air purifier technology.
