Best HEPA Air Purifier And Urgent Environmental Preparedness Steps To Take During Chemotherapy And Transplants
Chemotherapy is a grueling process involving injecting chemicals by IV drip into the body to kill cancer cells or destroy the immune system in preparation for stem cell transplants, bone marrow transplants, or organ transplants.
Common cancers treated with Chemotherapy are Lung Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, Kidney (Renal) Cancer, Leukemia, Melanoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Pancreatic Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Skin Cancer, and Thyroid Cancer.
PLEASE NOTE: This report is also accurate for other types of immune system diseases that do not require Chemotherapy!
When Chemotherapy is used as a treatment, it drastically lowers the white blood cell count in your body to the point of not being able to protect your body from all types of infections and viruses.
While going through Chemotherapy, it is vital for the people taking the chemo to protect themselves from breathing poor indoor air quality (IAQ) that may contain airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold spores that can play havoc with their weakened immune systems.
During Chemotherapy at the hospital, it is crucial to stay isolated from other people that may infect them with any virus or bacteria! The hospital room must be kept clean until the person going through Chemotherapy’s immune system can start rebuilding itself.
Many hospitals include a quality HEPA air purifier with a NON-OZONE-producing ultraviolet light system in rooms for people undergoing Chemotherapy. The HEPA air purifier must have a high rate of air exchange per hour so it can quickly catch and destroy any virus, bacteria, or mold spores. A quality HEPA air purifier should be able to clean an average hospital room or bedroom-sized area up to 12 times per hour. The air purifier should also contain pounds of activated carbon to absorb any outgassing chemicals that may be coming from furniture or materials in the room.
If Chemotherapy is being done in an outpatient environment and the person is living at Home or has just been released from the hospital, it is essential to keep the Home EXTREMELY CLEAN!
Bedding and clothing should be washed in clean hot water, and all hard surfaces in the Home must be kept clean and disinfected with Pine-Sol or Lysol-type disinfectants. Especially in the bathrooms and kitchen.
Remove all plants and flowers, as the dirt often contains mold spores that can be very dangerous.
Wash all plates and silverware in boiling water with antibacterial dish soap to prevent digestive system infections.
Keep sick friends and relatives away from your Home and if there is any question that a visitor is sick, make them wear an N-95-approved facemask.
People going through Chemotherapy should wash their hands often, especially after using the bathroom, and all fruits and vegetables should be scrubbed under clean running water.
Avoid any mold and sources of mold spores! Have someone in good health remove and clean any mold in the Home and throw away any object that has mold growing or on its surface.
Purchase at least two high-quality HEPA Air purifiers, including a NON OZONE producing Ultraviolet (UV) light system that will destroy airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. We have found that the powerful but still super quiet (Made In Canada) Airpura UV700 HEPA air purifier is the best HEPA air purifier with a UV light system on the market.
Many hospitals use the Airpura UV700 HEPA air purifiers to protect their patients undergoing Chemotherapy, stem cells, and Organ Transplants. At Home, most people will place one Airpura UV HEPA air purifier in the bedroom and one in the family room where people relax and watch TV. If time is spent in a home office, another Airpura UV700 HEPA air purifier should also be placed in that office living space area.
Vacuum the house regularly and more often than usual!
NOTE: Most vacuum cleaners SPEW bacteria-filled dust into the air while vacuuming. This is extremely dangerous for anyone going through Chemotherapy or with a weakened immune system to breathe! This is especially true for people with lung cancer or chronic lung disease! The only vacuum with a 100 percent SEALED HEPA vacuum cleaner, and note that many HEPA vacuum cleaners are not sealed, still allowing bacteria-filled dust to blow into the indoor environment to be breathed.
We have found the Air Storm Plus HEPA vacuum cleaner (MADE IN THE USA) to be the best HEPA vacuum cleaner on the market as it is 100 percent sealed, and no (ZERO) dust will blow back into the indoor environment while vacuuming. The Air Storm Plus HEPA vacuum cleaner will pass a zero laser particle count test. They are used by many health agencies and the Federal Government to protect equipment and personnel from many different types of contamination.
Suppose the person going through Chemotherapy or has a weakened immune system has a home with a ducted heating or air conditioning (A/C) system. In that case, replacing the 3-5 percent low-efficiency throw-away air filters with a high-quality 90 percent efficient self-charging electrostatic air filter is a good idea. Self-charging electrostatic air filters are inexpensive, can be cleaned monthly, and can be replaced in the system to provide many years of upgraded air filtration to help keep the ductwork and Home clean with much less dust and the bacteria and mold spores that attach to the dust.
Do not eat raw foods! Thoroughly cook all meat, chicken, and fish; do not eat raw eggs, raw milk, or cookie dough.
Bathe pets and litter boxes should be changed often by someone else who is going through Chemotherapy or has a weakened immune system.
Toys and play areas should be kept clean with antimicrobial surface disinfectants, and always try to provide children with toys and dolls that can be washed with hot water in a washing machine.
URGENT NOTE: Keep children away from all outdoor sandboxes. This is because sandboxes are often loaded with many strains of bacteria, viruses, and parasites due to cats, dogs, and other animals using sandboxes as a bathroom!
Anyone undergoing Chemotherapy or with a weakened immune system should stay out of hot tubs, jacuzzis, and swimming pools until their immune system returns to normal. This is because pools and pool areas often contain a variety of molds, bacteria, and viruses that can be very dangerous to anyone with a weakened immune system.
