CLEAN INDOOR AIR WITH THE BOOMERANG

Welcome to the World of Wonderful, Clean Indoor Air!

Introducing the Incredible Boomerang Air Sanitizer

by Darlyn Britt
Nature’s Sunshine is pleased to introduce its unique, new Boomerang Air Sanitizer. The Boomerang utilizes new-generation technology to sanitize air, killing or neutralizing particles, microbes and gases.

Indoor air pollutants are plentiful, and many can be harmful to health. From hair spray to cleaning chemicals, from cigarette smoke to dander, these odors and particles present health challenges to many people—even those without an unusual respiratory intolerance.

In the battle to clean our air and promote better health for all, NSP proudly offers the Boomerang Air Sanitizer. This amazing unit:
• Kills airborne microbes and neutralizes pollen and particulates, making the air you breathe cleaner and less harmful.
• Helps neutralize indoor odors of all types.
• Costs very little to operate.

Patent-Pending Technology
The Boomerang’s effectiveness is due in part to a patent-pending Silver+ Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) cell. The cell contains nano-sized metals—
silver, nickel, rhodium, copper and titanium—that react with photons from ultraviolet (UV) light to create millions of redundant oxidizers like super
oxide ions, hydroxyl ions, hydro peroxide ions and ozonide ions. All of these kill or neutralize airborne organisms.

Backed by Science
Studies conducted by West Texas A&M University confirm that Silver+ PCO technology purifies the air and sanitizes surfaces! One study measured a reduction in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on surfaces. The study also measured a 75% reduction in fungus/mold, bacteria, viruses and aeroallergens (pollen) in just eight hours of use!

Additional studies showed that microbes exposed to Silver+ PCO technology over longer periods of time were almost completely eradicated.

Unique, Simple and Quiet
Place your Boomerang on a flat surface (counter, shelf, or mount it on the wall), plug it in and forget about it! The unit sanitizes 2,000 square feet of open living space.


Additionally, the Boomerang:
• Requires no cleaning or filter replacement—there’s no maintenance for up to three years!
• Is lightweight and energy-efficient; it draws only 15 watts of electricity.
• Features quiet operation—similar to a home computer in noise output.
• Is made in the U.S., using only the highest quality parts.
Start cleaning your air today with Nature’s Sunshine’s Boomerang Air Sanitizer!

Returning Clean Air to You
Introducing our New Boomerang Air Sanitizer

Nature's Sunshine is pleased to introduce a unique, new product to our Managers—the Boomerang Air Sanitizer with Silver⁺ PCO Technology. Now you can clean the air you breathe!

The Boomerang is a true sanitizer as it KILLS organisms in the air. Its effectiveness is due in part to a patent-pending Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) or Silver⁺ PCO cell. The cell contains nano-sized metals—silver, nickel, rhodium, copper and titanium—involved as catalyst compounds. These five metals work synergistically as they react with photons from ultraviolet (UV) light to create super oxide ions (O2-), hydroxyl ions (OH-), hydro peroxide (H2O2) ions and ozonide ions (O3-). All of these have been demonstrated to kill or neutralize airborne organisms.

Boomerang Technology Kills Bugs in Air and on Surfaces Studies conducted by West Texas A&M University confirm that Silver+ PCO technology not only purifies the air but sanitizes surfaces! One study measured reductions in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, on surfaces. The study also measured a 75% reduction in fungus/mold, bacteria, viruses and aeroallergens (pollen) in only eight hours of use! Additional studies showed that microbes exposed to Silver+ PCO technology over longer periods of time were almost completely eradicated. Nano-size Particles Mean Superior Effectiveness Metals within the PCO cell are present in nano-size particles, which increase the kinetic rate of reaction. Consider a puddle of water. If you spread the puddle across the pavement, it evaporates faster, because you have increased the surface area and, therefore, the rate of evaporation. In the same respect, X grams of silver in micron size has x surface area, but in nano size it has X to the power of x surface area (Xx), therefore increasing the kinetic rate of reaction using the same amount of silver.

The Boomerang emits a small amount of ozone (O3), which helps to neutralize indoor odors. Unlike other ozone and ion-producing units, the Boomerang utilizes Silver⁺ PCO Technology to produce effective, safe "killer super oxides" while maintaining ozone levels well below the government-established limit.

Check out these other great features!

• Greater coverage area. One Boomerang unit can sanitize 2,000 square feet of open living space. Additional Boomerang units are recommended for enclosed spaces such as bedrooms, basements and bathrooms.
• Requires no cleaning or filter replacement. No maintenance for three full years! Simply turn it on and
  forget about it.
• Quiet! Similar to a home computer in terms of sound output.
• Lightweight and energy-efficient. It uses only 15 watts of electricity*. Simply place the unit on any flat surface (counter, shelf or floor), or mount it to the wall.
• Made in the U.S., using only the highest quality parts

Download the information flyer from NSP's Members - Library - Forms and Documents page. Boomerang Air Purifier - Study 3000 Xtreme was early prototype of Boomerang Air and Surface Sanitizer. Eradication of Indoor Aeroallergen Using a 3000 Xtreme Air Purifier Nabarun Ghosh1, Jeff Bennert2, Mandy Whiteside1 and Rupa Patel1 1Department of Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences, West Texas A&M University, Canyon, TX 79016. 3401 Airway Blvd. Amarillo, TX 79118 We found that the Xtreme 3000 air purifier was most efficient in eradication of microflora over a longer period of time at the "high" setting. Abstract Experimental trials at the Allergy AARTS Clinic at Amarillo revealed that the Allergic Rhinitis patients showed susceptibility to air spora, including Alternaria, Cladosporium, Curvularia, and Pithomyces. We standardized the procedure to assay the efficiency of the air purifier Xtreme 3000 in reducing the indoor aeroallergen. Distance: Sets of the Petri-plates and coated slides were placed with those distances of 1foot, 2 feet, 4 feet, 6 feet and 12 feet away from the air purifier. Period: Exposure after 24 hour, 48 hour, 72 and 120 hour treatment. The control petri-plates and slides were placed in the room without using the air purification system. Assay was done with the petri-plates prepared from Brain Heart Infusion agar (VWR) and Gelvatol coated slides with air purifier off for the control and on for the treated. The slides were examined, analyzed, and photographed using a BX-40 Olympus microscope attached to a DP-70 Digital Camera. Petri-plates were examined with an SZ-40 stereo-scope to observe and count the colonies. The control set of plates showed vigorous growth of the microbial colonies after incubation in an incubator at 37oC for 24 hours. Petri-plates closer to air purifier (2ft. and 4 ft.) produced least number of colonies after 24h., 48h. and 72 hours of treatment of the indoor air with the air purifier. There was very minor trace of inoculums from the Petri-plates from 2 ft. 4ft. and 8 ft. after 24 hours. After 72 hours of treatment of the indoor air with the air purifier there was very little microflora or propagules left in the indoor air since there were only 1-2 microbial colony produced on the Petri-plates. After a 2-month continuous exposure of the room air with the Xtreme 3000 at "High" setting we found complete eradication of aeroallergens including the fungal and bacterial spores. Introduction Offices, working places and schools face the challenge of an increasing number of workers and children with pre-existing health conditions which are affected by the Indoor Air Quality and other environmental factors. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in offices is an important aspect. Indoor levels of air pollutants can be 2-5 times higher, and occasionally 100 times higher, than outdoor levels. Surprisingly, nearly 55 million people, 20 percent of the U.S. population, spend their days inside offices and schools. An estimated 50 percent of the nation's schools have problems linked to Indoor Air Quality (Ref. 1). The neglect of IAQ can cause or contribute to short and long-term health problems including asthma, respiratory tract infection and disease, allergic reactions, headaches, nasal congestion, eye and skin irritations, coughing, sneezing, fatigue, dizziness and nausea. Not only does poor indoor air quality contribute to an unhealthy environment; it also hastens building deterioration. One study on an elementary school showed that if $8,140 had been spent over 22 years on preventative maintenance, $1.5 million in repairs could have been avoided by the use of a proper monitoring of aeroallergens and air purifying system (Ref. 2). In order to prevent a risky working environment the employers must be appropriately educated about indoor air quality. The quality of the environment within buildings is a topic of major importance for public health. (Ref.3). Presently Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a major concern at various work places. Here is an important quote on air quality from the journal: "With all the publicity, more and more people are realizing that pollutants in the indoor air could make them sick. The worst thing that has happened to the indoor air quality marketplace in the last year or so is also mold. This is because much of the media coverage is designed to sensationalize the topic and frighten the public - so much so, that the word 'mold' always seems to be preceded by the adjective 'toxic.' Thus, homeowners and building managers are scared to death of any minor infestation that might possibly be toxic mold, and they often ignore other health issues, such as combustion byproducts, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), second-hand tobacco smoke and poor ventilation." (Ref. 4) Qualitative Assay While the fungal exposure assessment was based on the determination of fungal propagules for a long time, recent progress has led to the development of methodology for other fungal agents, e.g. the fungal cell wall components, metabolites, and allergens that may be responsible for health effects caused by fungal exposure. This proposal includes a summary of the sampling techniques and analytical methods that are currently used or are in progress for the fungal exposure assessment. (Ref.5). This study covered observations on the effect of an ionizer/air purifier in reduction of indoor aero allergens including mold spores, pollen and microbial flora. The first phase research was divided into two steps: 1.Observation on the effect of the air purifier in reducing the concentration of bacteria and mold in the air, 2. Observation on the effect of the air purifier in reducing the concentration of aeroallergens like pollen, spores and other particulate matters concentration in the air. Methods To evaluate the Air Purifier Xtreme 3000 We set up the following criteria and variables. Criteria: Evaluation of the Air Purifier Xtreme 3000 using petri-plates and coated slides to collect the microbial spores, propagules (like fungal hyphae) and aeroallergens (like pollen, spores and other particulate matters) with a standard distance of 1foot, 2 feet, 4 feet, 6 feet and 12 feet away from the air purifier. The petri-plates and slides were previously made before setting up the experiment. The slides were coated and placed in clean slide boxes and the boxes were sealed with parafilm to avoid any contamination. The petri-plates were made following standard aseptic procedure by autoclaving the media at 15lb steam pressure /sq Inch at 121oCelsius. After pouring the media the petri-plates were stored on the table top to cool down and then stored in the refrigerator after sealing the plates with parafilm. All the petri-plates from the set up were incubated in an incubator for 24 hours at 37oC. Variables: Distance: A number of sets of the petri-plates and coated slides were placed with those distances of 1foot, 2 feet, 4 feet, 6 feet, 8 feet, 10 feet and 12 feet away from the air purifier with various time intervals. Time Period: Control set (exposure 0 hours): Assay was done with the petri-plates and coated slides keeping the air purifier off. Treated sets: Assay was done with the petri-plates and coated slides after running the air purifier for 24, 48, 72 and 120 hours in the room. The Air Purifier Xtreme 3000 was evaluated keeping it on a table top and placing the petri-plates prepared from Brain Heart Infusion agar (VWR). The Air Purifier Xtreme 3000 was placed on a table in a large laboratory room (15 ft x 25 ft), bacterial and mold samples were obtained from Brain Heart Infusion media plates. The petri- plates were placed surrounding the air purifier and assayed after no exposure (Control), after 24 hours and 48 hour exposure of the room air to the air purifier. All of the plates were set at the distances of 1foot, 2 feet, 4 feet, 6 feet and 12 feet away from the base of the air purifier and assayed after various time intervals of 24hours and 48 hours. The air purifier was also tested at High and low settings. The control plates and the plates exposed to the high setting of the air purifier were analyzed using a SZ-40 Olympus Stereo Microscope. The bacterial and mold specimens were further identified by Gram staining and Lacto-Phenol-Cotton-Blue Staining techniques for size, shape, and morphology. Samples were examined, counted and photographed every 24 and 48 hours using a BX-40 Olympus microscope attached to a DP-70 Olympus Digital Camera devised with Image Pro-6.0 software. Data were correlated with the distance, time of exposure to find the differences in bacteria and mold population between room air treated with and without the air purifier. Our assays revealed significant differences in microbial spore population in the room air before and after the treatment with Air Purifier 3000 at different intervals. We standardize the techniques for evaluating the Air Purifier. We setup slides with distances of 2 feet, 4 feet, 6 feet 8 feet, 10 feet and 12 feet away from the air purifier in 4 directions. Our ultimate goal is to get samples all the way up to 12 ft. Slides were mounted with scotch brand double sticky tape and coated with Beckman's Vacuum Grease. After exposure the slides were stained with safranin-gelatin mixture and mounted with coverslip onto the tape. For the control group, the slides and petri-plates were setup at the predetermined distances from the air purifier. We then set up our treated groups (with air purifier running) for 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 120 hours and recorded and compared the results of each set. After several trials we found that the Beckman's Grease was the most efficient in trapping aeroallergens. Microscopic analysis of collected allergens The prepared slides will be examined, counted, and photographed (Fig.4) using a BX-40 Olympus microscope attached to a DP-70 Digital Camera attached to a computer equipped with Image Pro 6.0 Image Analysis software. This assessment involved the optical counting of pollen grains, fungal spores and other particulate matters through a microscope and the use of a micrometer scale and graticule (100 square microns). The pollen, fungal spores and insect residues were identified using standard keys from literature and the websites (Ref. 6-10). Result and Discussions Figure 1 shows the experimental set up of the petri-plates and slides with specific distances from the air purifier. We recorded the highest concentration of aeroallergens from 120 and 72 hour petri-plates (Fig.2) and slides (Fig. 4), followed by the 48 hour slides. Least amount of aeroallergens was recorded from the 24 hour slides from the control group or untreated set. The petri-plates placed closer to the distance to the air purifier (1ft. and 2 ft.) produced least number of colonies at 24h., 48h., 72h. and 120 hours of exposure to the indoor air with the air purifier. From Fig. 3, a graph on the distribution of the number of microbial colonies before and after the treatment of indoor air with the air purifier, it is very clear that there was a gradual reduction in the number of bacterial and fungal colonies with greater interval of exposure with the air purifier. After evaluation of our control group we set up the treated sets keeping the air purifier running. We placed the slides at the predetermined distances for 24, 48, 72 and 120 hours. After 24 hours there was little change in the aeroallergen count. The control set of plates showed vigorous growth of the microbial colonies after incubation in an incubator at 37oC for 24hours (Fig. 2). Petri-plates closer to air purifier (2ft. and 4 ft.) produced least number of colonies after 24 and 48 hours of treatment of the indoor air with the air purifier. The trace of microflora in the slides and petri-plates gradually reduced with longer treatment of the indoor air with the air purifier. After 72 hours of treatment of the indoor air with the air purifier there was very little microflora or propagules left in the indoor air since there were only 1-2 microbial colony produced on the petri-plates. After a 120 hour continuous exposure of the room air with the Xtreme 3000 at High setting we found complete eradication of aeroallergens including the fungal and bacterial spores. We found that the Xtreme 3000 air purifier was most efficient in eradication of microflora over a longer period of time at the "high" setting. Reference: 1.

We keep ours running 24 hours a day and love how it has kept us safe from germs, toxins, allergens, aeroallergens, airborne pathogens and odors. I have been particularly impressed with this machine as it has helped my husbands life long winter breathing problems. In the 25 years that Larry and I have been together, every winter Larry experiences extreme winter sinus distress, having swelling in his nasal passages, headaches and having problems breathing especially when he sleeps. We had always chalked this up to the "dry heat" in the winter. This year this problem was eradicated. I've tested the air over the months using the Boomerang Indoor Air Quality Test Kit to prove that the bacteria which were rampant in the dish before we began using the Boomerang Air & Surface Sanitizer are no longer present. Check out my recorded Boomerang test results from September-October. My family and I feel very fortunate to have this extra protection for our health. I believe every family, classroom, store and office should have the Boomerang set up to purify the air. Think about how this would positively impact missed days due to sicknesses and health problems. Hospitals, Rehabilitation Centers, and Retirement homes should have these units in every room so that they can destroy these "super germs" which are killing patients every day.

MY PERSONAL BOOMERANG EXPERIMENT

This experiment was performed in my clean kitchen.

I was very excited when MY BOOMERANG ARRIVED on September 28th. As soon as dinner was finished that evening I grabbed my first petri dish and began my experiment by exposing my petri dish to the air for one hour, according to the directions given in the Boomerang Test Kits. I covered up the dish after an hour and sealed it well, and left it alone for 68 hours undisturbed in my closet. Once it was put away I immediately began running my Boomerang Air and Surface Sanitizer about 15 feet from where I did my air quality testing.

My picture story began on October 1st, 68 hours after taking the first petri dish sample.

October 1st, 2009

This picture labeled 10/1/09 shows the petri dish test I performed on 9/28 (bottom dish) with lots of spores growing already from various bacterias, fungus, virus, (who knows what creepy germs were there) spores. Lots of different colored and sized spores have already begun to grow dark, colorful and hairy.

At the top of the picture is the second sample I tested on 10/1, after having run my Boomerang for just 68 hours. After taking my second sample, and taking these pictures, I put the dishes back in a safe place to see how each dish would progress.




October 5th, 2009

On 10/5/09 (4 days later) I brought my two petri dishes back out to compare the results. Comparing the original dish at the three day mark to the second dish at it's 4 day mark, I could tell already that there was much less contamination of bacterias, molds, virus's, allergins, etc. showing up in the dish. The growths that were there were relatively smaller, with less spores growing in it.

This top picture, dated 10/5 is the original test sample (these pictures don't do it justice). It was covered in all kind of colors and dimensions, living things growing their colonies of spores.






This bottom picture also dated 10/5, was the dish taken 68 hours after intoducing the Boomerang to the environment. There are considerably less things living under this sealed container on it's 4th day. This was remarkable to me to see that using the Boomerang for just 68 hours could make such a difference.






October 9, 2009



On 10/09/2009 - I pulled the two dishes back out to see how the samples compared. You can see the original dish is multiplying many spores rapidly, while the 2nd dish still has very little growing in it in comparison, even though it has been 9 days already.





October 14, 2009


And again on 10/14/09, you can see the 1st dish on the left is much more filled with dangerous growths of unidentified spores.

This was quite an eye opener for me to see that in just 68 hours how much the Boomerang had already eliminated from our air.





MORE INFORMATION
For more information about the Boomerang Air and Surface Sanitizer you can visit my blog pages where you can read my most recent posts.
You will find lots of great information, links, webinar slides, and movie clips to explain all different aspects of how it works and what you can expect from having a Boomerang.

Also explained in these blog pages is information on commissions and extra bonuses when helping to sell the boomerang to others. There is great earning potential with this unit as it can be lifesaving in hospitals, schools, nursing homes and places such as this where staph and MRSA are so prevalent and life threatening.

The Boomerang Air Quality Test Kit I used to test the air in my home before and after using the unit are also available at NSP Find it here. You get 5 sets of petri dishes so can do five demonstrations for others in their homes & business to show them how much bacteria, fungus, molds, and numerous toxins can be removed from the air in just 72 hours of using the Boomerang.

Please call me with your questions and comments. If you would like more information about formal laboratory studies performed on this Patented product, please email me. I'd be happy to email you back with the studies.
