We love any blogger’s post that includes the shout-out, “Purely Products is my kind of company.” But then able2able.com put Healthy CFL, the little air purifier wrapped in a compact fluorescent lightbulb, to the ultimate smell test – baby poo and doggie drool.

You can read her entire review including her passion for Pocket Purifier here, but check out her family’s bottom line on the bulb.

“I also reviewed the Healthy light bulb. This innocent looking compact fluorescent lightbulb actually has an air purifier in its middle. The Healthy CFL cleans the air of cigarette smoke, pollen, mold, germs, dust, odors, pet dander and other airborne contaminants. As it cleans, the built-in ionizer also counters the draining effects of positive ions emitted every day by items like computers, cell phones, televisions, and forced air ventilation, while flowing a steady stream of refreshing negative ions into the air to boost mood and energy. Yeah, I was happy to have two of these in my home!

So does the Healthy CFL work?

My Red Dog loves to sneak on the couch when we are out on Clara-Bear’s longer appointment days. I discovered he was drooling on my couch when I started coming home to a closed up house with a funky smell. Now I leave the living room light with the Healthy CFL bulbs in it and I no longer notice a dog smell or closed up stuffy smell, even with the a/c turned up to 79 degrees. Since the Healthy CFL uses 80% less energy than a traditional light bulb we have not noticed an increase in our electricity bill with the light on all day.

I also had to move my essential oil diffuser out of the living room since I could not smell my beautiful oils. And I put the Healthy CFL to the ultimate, grossest test yesterday. I changed a super-pooper diaper underneath it, turned the a/c temp up, and left the house for an hour. I was relieved not to smell poop when we returned!”

“Since we have a houseful of asthma, allergies, and exzema, I really like knowing that allergens and triggers are being cleaned by the Healthy CFL’s along with the funk.”

That’s one of the conclusions from a mother with an environmental science background with an interest in brain chemistry exploring the contributing factors to ADD, attention deficit disorder.  In a blog on her website, Born to Explore, The Other Side of ADD, Teresa Gallagher details a plan to create balance with hormones that affect brain chemistry. 

Our ears perked up when she got to serotonin levels.

Serotonin is a hormone that is found naturally in the human brain. Serotonin can be considered a “happy” hormone, as it greatly influences an overall sense of well-being. It also helps to regulate moods, temper, anxiety, and relieve depression. It is also credited with being a natural sleep aid.

Gallagher lists stress, modern food processing, lack of exercise & sleep, poor nutrition, and deionized air as principal causes of  reduced serotonin levels.

21st century lifestyles take their toll even as they make life easier with all the eletronics that fill every possible crook and nanny (uh, that would be nook and cranny if I were paying attention) of our lives. Gallagher ticks off a top ten plus one list of proactive, non-medicating, more organic steps to take to create more balance in your brain’s lab.

Tips 1 through 10, you can incorporate some healthy new lifestyle habits right now, like more sleep and exercise, improve your diet, meditate or do yoga, keep cool, add in B vitamins, look for ways to relieve stress every day.

Tip No. 11?

“Buy an air ionizer. Yes, it sounds weird, but air with negatively charged particles appears to help out serotonin in the brain. Pollution and the modern world have nearly eliminated naturally charged air in urban areas. You can feel the pleasant effect of negative ions wherever there is running water, like an ocean beach or near a waterfall. The opposite – positive ions – are generated by warm winds moving over dry land, like the Santa Ana winds of California, which are known to increase irritability…”

Tip #11. Got that covered. Plug into Ionic Lifestyle. 

Negative ion generators that emit 2,000,000 negative ions (also known as anions) per cubic centimeter counter the energy-draining effects of positive ions emitted by electronics, household materials, and other trappings of modern living. In your car, at your computer, in front of your big-screen tv – wherever you are bombarded by positive ions, you can plug in an Ionic Lifestyle unit  from Purely Products, a leader in negative ion technology, and naturally charge the air, increasing “feel good” serotonin levels and improving oxygen flow to the brain.

At its founding in 2006, Purely Products blazed a narrowly targeted trail to fill a market niche and offer the best germicidal ultraviolet bulbs available. A few years in, we are the leading national brand with the largest selection of 100% quartz UV replacement bulbs and our customers trust us to take good care of them.

But suddenly, people with very good ideas for fresh new consumer techie products found us to collaborate. Innovative ideas, sometimes startlingly so. Lifestyle enhancing. Problem solving. Clean and healthy living driven. Carbon footprint shrinking. Products you fold into your day – the kind that cause friends to ask, Where’d you get that? How does that work? Who knew? Products with intriguing what if’s?

What if we wrapped an energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulb around an air purifier? So it not only uses less energy than an incandescent and saves CO2 emission, but also cleans the air with a built-in ionizer – so you can love your cat (as much as a cat will allow it) pet your dog and lose the dander and the odor?

What if Purely’s ionizer technology came in a nifty car adaptor you just plug in and it emitted negative ions that lift your mood, leaving you feeling energized? So you feel a bit more like you’re collecting sand dollars at low tide, than caught in traffic with a van of  post-soccer practice 10-year olds?

What if you could carry a pocket-size UV-C light that sterilizes all those germy surfaces you face everyday – the computer keyboard everyone at work uses, the kitchen counter after your son makes sandwiches, hand weights at the gym, your purse after it spilled on the theater floor, the baby’s pacifier?

What if you could, by simply hitting an Add to Cart button, know that a percentage of your Purely Products’ purchase goes directly to provide diapers to babies in need who deserve a healthy, dry little behind? You can learn more about Purely Products’ passion and why Sharing God’s Love One Dry Behind at a Time is truly our bottom line at diaperLove. It represents the heart and soul of who we are.

In the quirky soul mate romance, LA Story, Steve Martin said, “There’s someone out there for everyone – even if you need a pickaxe, a compass, and night goggles to find them.” Translation? There are people who are meant to change your life one day at a time. The trick is … finding them.

There are products, and we like to think companies, whose mission is to help change your life one small step at a time.  The trick is … finding them.

Since you’re here, reading this, your compass led you to us. That works out well.  We were looking for you, too. Since we seem to be going in the same direction on things that really matter to all of us (healthier families, cleaner earth, happier children), let’s do this trip together.

It’s a journey that takes some juggling to keep a balance, and then dares us to try something new that makes clean and healthy living easier. See how it works, adjust, listen, learn, embrace it. Small steps in the right direction can make a big difference in all our lives.

Responsible products for responsible living is true north for Purely Products. Bringing innovative, eco-friendly, healthy living products to market, all the while helping kids. So there’s our compass. We’ll grab the pickaxe. You bring the night goggles.

Tell us, what pointed you in the direction of cleaner, healthier living?
