   Do not be misled by reviews by ordinary people who have no technical background. I am an allergy sufferer who has been using air purifiers for decades.

   After consulting with medical experts in allergies and reading consumer testing articles I would recommend you purchase a HEPA filter (not a HEPA like filter). Do not get one with an ionizer. Bionaire makes a very good product. I have found them to by among the quietest. (I have tried other "quiet" models but returned them because even on low they made too much noise.) Just make sure you get a model with the HEPA filter as they make different types. Also, make sure you buy one that fits the size of the room. Buying a larger one is more expensive and not necessary for small rooms.

   Make sure you replace the filters when needed. The charcoal filters need to be replaced more often if odors such as cigarette smoke is a problem.

   I have been very happy with my Bionaires. People have commented on how "clean" the air in my house is.

   You need not to purchase any thing, Please try to follow these Nature Cure :

   When cold continuous even after taking regular treatment over a period of 2 to 5 years, it is termed as ‘cold’ due to Allergy and when there is congestion, it istermed as Bronchial Allergy. Ispite of researches, this Allergy is not understood and so it is not cured. And as result, the patient has to suffer for entire life and be ina perpetual fear of catching Allergy any time.

   It is true that painful tests are taken to find out the cause which creates Allergy. Then Anti-allergic injections are prepared and given to the patients. Then Allergy seems to be cured for a short while, but apperars again and makes the life of the patient miserable. Although Allergy is not fatal, it is considered to be dreaded.

   The basic fact is that common cold is not understood and neither is Allergy. Most of the ‘Common Cold’ is due to excess heat in the body. Now when such common cold continues, the endocrine gland of Thyroid and Parathyroid is the first to be disturbed. As no treatment is taken to correct the function of this gland, it starts functioning less efficiently. This endocrine gland controls the digestion of calcim and so when this endocrine gland does not work efficiently slowly, but steadily a deficiency of calcium is created in the body. Disturbance in the Thyroid/Parathyroid gland leads to disturbance of Adrenal gland, which controls ‘fire’ element of the body, i.e. spleen, liver and gall bladder and it also controls proper oxygenation. Thus, less functioning of these vital endocrine glands reduces the of resistance power of the body.

   This vicious cycle continues. The drugs consumed to cure common cold only increase heat in the body which in turn damages the liver-the radiator of the body. Moreover, due to the continuation of cold for a period of two to three years, even the lungs lose their capacity to throw out toxins gathered from the blood. The net result is that the body develop Allergy for something. The overburdened nerves develop irritation against certain things like perfumes, pollen, dust, etc. And so when the patients come to contact with that particular thing; the nerve get excited.

   The Allergy point (Acupressure) No.21 on the front and back of the right hand palm sends signals, one to the lover to slow down its functioning so the excess heat can be produced and the other an SOS to the brain to defend against this enemy. Yhe body knows only one language of defence-it creates Heat. The Brain produces more H+ i.e. Histami. After a while, the brain comes to know that Allergy poit had sent a wrong signal andrealises that nothing has gone into the system of the body. And so, in order to remove the excess heat from the body it creates cold by taking one atom of oxygen from the air we breathe and mixes it with two atoms of Hydrogen, i.e. H2O= water. These results in sneezing, watering of the nose and eyes, coughing, vomiting, etc. This fight in the body between the excess heat and cold results in brathlessness, depression, etc. This is not understood and so instead of helping to remove the excess heat and increasing the power of resistance of the body by reducing the deficiency of calcium , drugs like anti-histamin are given to curb the Allergy. For the time being, this process of removing the excess heat from the body is arrested. But very soon, the body starts this process of throwing out the excess heat-which is considered to be another attack of Allergy. The vicious cycle continues. And so, even Adrenal gland is more damaged-which damages oxygenation in the body-creates more breathlessness and creates more and more weakness in the body-leading to more depression and the power of resistance of the body becomes so low that the patient develops Allergy even against microscopic dust.

   Now, once we have understood about Allergy, ‘cure’ is very easy. For immediate cure; take treatment on point No. 21 on the front and back of palm on the right hand.

   2. Start taking Cal. phos 6 or 12 i.e. 3 pills in the morning and 3 pills in the evening-This will reduce the deficiency of calcium.

   3. Take Kali Phos 200-8 pills on the first day and then once a week. Then take Kali Phos 12-3 pills in the morning and 3 pills in the evening. This Biochemic medicine will soothe the excited nerves, and the Allergy will under control. During this treatment, drinking gold/silver/copper charged water of 2 glasses reduced from 4 glasses is also advisable.

   TO REMOVE ALLERGY PERMANENTLY THE PATIENT MUST DO THE FOLLOWING :

   (a) Treatment of excess heat from the body do this : (i)Take as first thing in the morning 1 teaspoonful of haritki churna (harde powder-powder of terminalia chebula retz)+1/2 teaspoon of sugar for 8 to 10 days continuously, then twice a week. This will also keep the bowels clean.

   (ii) Take an equal quantity of cumin seed powder(Jeera), black pepper(Kali Mirch), saunf(Sauwp), amla powder,crystal sugar(Misri), and ginger powder(Saunth). Grind them into powder and keep it in a bottle. Take 1 teaspoonful of this powder with water in the morning and evening.
   (b) Drink 2 to 3 cups of green juice adding in it 1 teaspoon of Helath Drink + 1 tablespoonful of honey. This will supplement Vitamin "C" and digestive power and increase the power of resistance of the body.

   (c) Drink 2 glasses of charged water reduced from 4 glasse. This will empower the brain and the resistance power.

   (d) and also take the following Bio-chemic salts : Cal. Phos 6 or 12 -3 pills in the morning & evening for 45 days.
   Kali Phos 200 -8 pills once a week. Kali Phos 12 or 30 -3 pills in the morning & evening.

   (e) Treatment of Acupressure is a MUST.

   (f) And take Blue Light on the chest and back for 5 to 7 minutes twice a day. That will empoer the weakened lungs. Once you start feeling beeter finish the Pranaym with prolonged breath-alternatively from right and left nostril-repeat it at least 10/20 times. If possile also do Kapabhati and Bhastrika.

   (g) In case of breathlessness, do the following :

   Ask the patient to lie down on the back between 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. and open his/her mouth wide open. And pour 1 tablespoonful of honey directly into the throat in such a way that honey does not touch the tongue. And thus, just in 45 days , the body would have built up enough resistance power-removed the deficiency of calcium and also empowered all the endocrnie glands. So the patient will become free from Allergy and its fear.

   I would say the more expensive, the better, as in most cases. Get one that is easy to maintain. Keeping your windows shut helps.
