No more worries about Staph, MRSA, Type A Influenza, Ringworm, Impetigo, Herpes, etc.

So contact Midwest BioShield today for a healthier tomorrow!

Put 10 to 40+ kids with developing immune systems and a less than ideal sense of what to touch, when to touch it and what you should and should not do after you touch it in an enclosed space for 8 or more hours a day, day after day and, well….I think “germ factory” is not too strong a description.

The situation I just described is also a reality for a large number of children in today’s world, and while day care center operator’s do the best they can to provide a clean, germ-free environment, they face difficult to impossible odds.  Which is why day care centers, as much as anywhere in the world, need BioShield®75 protection.

BioShield®75 is a NON-TOXIC surface protectant that, applied just once every 90 days, provides a layer of protection on the surfaces these littlest of hands touch: tables, chairs, toys, books, cups, backpacks, door handles, light switches, playground equipment, etc.

BioShield®75 helps prevent the spread of:

• Shigellosis
• Type A Influenza (Swine Flu)
• E. coli
• Salmonella
• MRSA
• Staph
• Mold
• Athlete’s Foot
• Mildew

BioShield®75 is also an affordable alternative to boxes of antibiotic wipes and jars of hand sanitizers that, as this article illustrates, are much less effective in the real world than their 99.9% claims would have you believe.  For less than 4 cents a month, per square foot, you can increase the health of everyone in the center, children and employees alike.

For more information and to place an order, please Contact Us, right now, before another child gets sick!

Instead of competitive products’ poisonous leaching method of efficacy, BioShield 75 utilizes a safe mechanical action, making it the preferred choice for the safety of your athletes. BioShield 75 works continuously well after conventional disinfectants become ineffective.

Use in:

• Weight Rooms
• Locker Rooms
• Bathrooms
• Showers
• Massage Rooms
• Sports/Exercise Equipment
• Sports Mats
• Hot Tubs
• Cafeterias
• Saunas

Many products kill these microbes, but are so dangerously toxic (like bleach) that they are only effective for a very short time and must be re-applied constantly to provide protection. For schools and school children, this is bad for any number of reasons, including the health of the children, the cost of applying so much product so often and the time required by building staff to be constantly re-applying the product.

All those worries go away with BioShield®75. Just look at the benefits:

• Non – Toxic
• One application protects for a minimum of 90 days
• BioShield®75 is the only surface protectant that is USDA Accepted.
• BioShield®75 is easy to apply. Just spray on a surface and let it dry;

BioShield®75 kills:

• Swine Flu
• MRSA
• Staph
• Salmonella
• E. Coli
• Mold
• Mildew

Aug. 20, 2009 — Health officials want colleges, universities, and businesses to get up to speed on how to deal with swine flu this fall and winter.

The CDC today released new guidelines for colleges and universities about how to handle H1N1 swine flu, and yesterday issued guidelines for businesses that may find themselves short-staffed due to swine flu.

Here is a quick look at the new recommendations.

Swine Flu at Colleges and Universities

Apart from swine flu prevention tips that apply to everyone — such as washing your hands, coughing into a tissue or your sleeve, cleaning shared surfaces like doorknobs, and staying home when you’re sick — the CDC has specific recommendations for college students living on campus.

The key guideline is for people with flu-like illness to avoid other people until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or more, or signs of fever, without use of fever-reducing medicines.

That means not going to classes, not going out to meals, not socializing in person, and avoiding close contact such as kissing, sharing eating or drinking utensils, or having other contact that would make it easy for the H1N1 virus to spread. The basic idea is to stay at least 6 feet away from people the sick person lives with.

Some students may have their own dorm rooms or temporarily move to a private home off campus. But if they have roommates, the CDC says the sick person should stay at least 6 feet away from people they live with and wear a surgical mask if close contact can’t be avoided, and that shared bathrooms be avoided or cleaned frequently.

The CDC encourages colleges and universities to plan the solutions that would work best for their own particular situation and suggests considering setting up temporary, alternate housing — such as a gym — where sick students can recover.

To make that easier, the CDC suggests enlisting a friend to help out as a swine flu “buddy” who can bring in food, class notes, and other necessities.

Young adults have been hard hit by swine flu. The CDC advises college-age students to find out if they’ve got high-risk conditions that could make swine flu more severe.

Managing Swine Flu at Work

The CDC’s swine flu guidance for businesses and employers focuses on preparing for people to be out sick — and on reassuring staff that staying home won’t cost them their job.

As with college students, the CDC’s main point is that workers with flu-like symptoms should stay home and not come back to work until at least 24 hours after they are free of a fever, or signs of a fever, without using fever-reducing medicines.

The CDC also urges employers to come up with flexible leave policies, in case workers need to stay home and care for a child who is sick or whose school or child care program has closed due to swine flu.

Here are some of the CDC’s other swine flu tips for businesses and employers:

• Expect sick employees to be out for three to five days, even if they’re taking antiviral drugs.
• If an employee gets sick during the day, isolate them from other workers and send them home promptly.
• Don’t require a doctor’s note to allow recovered employees to come back to work.
• Provide soap and water and alcohol-based hand sanitizers in the workplace.
• Place posters in the work site that encourage employees to wash their hands often and to cover their coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve.
• Frequently clean surfaces and items that are likely to be touched frequently, including work stations, doorknobs, and countertops.
• Encourage employees to get vaccinated against seasonal influenza and to get the swine flu vaccine when it becomes available.

The CDC also encourages seasonal flu vaccination — and swine flu vaccination, when the H1N1 vaccine becomes available — for students and workers. Colleges, universities, and businesses should also plan how they would handle swine flu if it gets a lot worse than it is right now, according to the CDC.

BioShield^®75 Benefits:

• Easy to use…
• Inexpensive…
• Lasts 90+ days…
• Keeps those you care about healthy…
• Non – Toxic…
• Will NOT create “Super Bugs”…

How does it work?

The easiest example I can give you about the power of BioShield^®75 is this:

• Clean a surface with your traditional cleaner;
• Spray on BioShield^®75 and let dry;
• And for a minimum of 90 days, every swine flu microbe that lands on the surface dies instantly!

I know it sounds crazy and you’re thinking “How can that be”, or “Why haven’t I heard of this before”…well, I’ll tell ya.

How can that be?

The active ingredient (Organosilane) in BioShield^®75 forms a colorless, odorless, completely non-toxic, positively charged polymer, which chemically bonds to the surface it’s sprayed on and modifies the surface to make it antimicrobial active.

This creates a bed of “microscopic spikes” that pierce the cell walls of microbes.

Visualize it as a bed of nails.

When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the nails puncture the cell membrane and an electrical charge shocks the cell, killing the microbe instantly!

And once BioShield^®75 dries on a surface, it will not wash off.  Clean as you regularly do and for the next 90+ days, it’s there, protecting the surface from the microscopic “critters” intent on infecting you, your family, your pets.

Conventional Cleaners

Conventional antimicrobial products penetrate living cells by poisoning the organism.  They are designed to act and dissipate quickly to avoid adverse effects to humans and animals due to their toxic ingredients.

But, since BioShield^®75’s methodology is mechanical instead of a poison, it does not create super bugs that build up resistance to treatment.  What about toxicity?  When wet, BioShield^®75 is only as toxic as 1/10^th of an aspirin.  And once dry?  COMPLETELY NON-TOXIC!!

And unlike antibiotics and hand sanitizers, bacteria CAN NOT build up an immunity to BioShield^®75!! How can that be, you ask?  Because it kills bacteria “mechanically” by impaling the microbe on microscopic spikes, its’ patented formula is immune to Swine Flu’s ever-changing strains.

And speaking of patents, BioShield^®75 has five of them, with three more pending.  It has eight EPA Registrations and the only protectant that has an acceptance letter from the USDA.  Don’t be fooled by imitators!

So, Contact Us today and let us show you how to keep your school, office, restaurant or home a Flu-Free Zone.

By CARL BIALIK of the Wall Street Journal

A decade of pesky germs, from SARS to avian flu to H1N1, has given rise to dozens of products bragging about their microbe-killing properties. Everything from hand-sanitizing liquids to products like computer keyboards, shopping carts and tissues tout that they kill 99.9%, or 99.99%, of common bacteria and fungi.

But some of these numbers look like the test scores in a class with a very generous grading curve. They often don’t include all pesky germs, and are based on laboratory tests that don’t represent the imperfections of real-world use. Human subjects, or countertops, in labs are cleaned first, then covered on the surface with a target bug. That is a far cry from a typical kitchen or a pair of grimy hands.

Advertising near-total effectiveness is common; AT&T Wireless’s television ads touting its network coverage of 97% of the U.S. is just the latest example. But it is especially common for health products. Naturally, companies make the claims because they sell products.

“The 99.99% message is more powerful among consumers than ‘antibacterial’ or ‘germ kill’ alone,” Maria Lovera, senior brand manager of skin care for Playtex Products Inc., maker of Wet Ones antibacterial wipes, wrote in an email.

In a study soon to be published, University of New Mexico biochemist Laurence Cole found that in two of three brands’ home-pregnancy tests, fewer than two-thirds of pregnancies among women who had missed their periods were detected.

Often, such products do work, but they discount the likelihood of human error. Marketers who claim birth-control methods are 99% effective sometimes are relying on perfect usage.

James Trussell, director of the Office of Population Research at Princeton University, has compared pregnancy rates in clinical trials of contraceptives with those reported by users of the same contraceptives in federal surveys. For some methods, the typical user’s pregnancy risk is 10 times higher, or more, over a year of use than that of the average user in a controlled study.

Hand sanitizers also tend to whitewash actual human usage from their laboratory testing.

“It’s the optimal environment for the hand sanitizer to work,” says Jason Tetro, a microbiologist at the University of Ottawa. “This differs greatly from the real-world setting.”

Mr. Tetro showed the difference by testing three hand-sanitizer products for CBC News last month among eighth graders in Hamilton, Ontario. Three popular sanitizers killed between 46% and 60% of microbes on the students’ hands, far short of 99.99%. Bugs that aren’t killed by sanitizers aren’t necessarily more dangerous than those that are. But the more that remain, the greater the chance of infection, doctors say.

The companies whose products were evaluated responded that those lab tests are what health regulators require. “Real-world application is completely subject to interpretation,” says Jay Beckman, head of sales for MGS Soapopular Inc., the U.S. distributor of Soapopular, one of the products tested. “Nothing is guaranteed.”

Like hand sanitizers, soap can be effective, but factoring in human nature can stand in the way. In one study in late 1990s, Navy recruits were directed by their commanding officers to wash at least five times a day. That and other measures helped reduce outpatient visits for respiratory illness by 45%. After two years, compliance was so spotty that researchers didn’t have enough people participating to analyze the potential benefits of soap.

Without commanding officers to direct them, civilians can be even more problematic hand cleaners, says Allison Aiello, epidemiologist at the University of Michigan’s school of public health. She notes that few hand washers follow a rule of thumb, endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to keep scrubbing for the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice (about 20 to 25 seconds).

To cite a 99.9% fatality rate, manufacturers don’t have to kill 99.9% of all known bugs. Regulations don’t require them to disclose which bugs they exterminate, just that the products are effective against a representative sample of microbes. For instance, many products can’t kill clostridium difficile, a gastrointestinal scourge, or the hepatitis A virus, which inflames the liver. Yet by killing other, more common bugs, they can claim 99.9% effectiveness.

Rules governing claims of efficacy depend on different agencies. In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency oversees claims about products intended for inanimate objects, while the Food and Drug Administration regulates skin products, including hand sanitizers.

To claim that other microbe-unfriendly products such as household cleaners and clothing kill 99.99% of germs, companies are permitted to show such deadliness less than 99.99% of the time, according to the EPA’s rules. The standard test is run on 60 slides inoculated with a specific bug, and 59 of them treated with the product must exhibit the claimed rate of germ death. The 60th can fail to allow for a mistake on the part of testers, according to Jean Schoeni, director of research at TRAC Microbiology, which conducts EPA testing. “It’s a very fussy, particular test,” Dr. Schoeni says. Furthermore, if fewer than 59 slides show the high kill rate, manufacturers get a do-over.

If trained lab testers sometimes need a redo, aren’t consumers wielding a spray bottle likely to fall short of optimal sanitizing technique? “It’s highly likely,” Dr. Schoeni says. She notes that some products need to sit on surfaces for 10 minutes to attain desired kill rates, yet many home cleaners are likely to wipe them off long before that.

Advertisers, in turn, say that U.S. regulation is, in some ways, too restrictive of the claims they can make. For instance, Paul Ford, chief executive of Agion, which supplies companies with silver technology to kill bugs, says the company’s products are too slow-acting to achieve the kill rates the EPA requires in a designated amount of time to make advertising claims. “These technologies require from an hour up to 24 hours to work.”

And some makers of germ killers wish they could say their products kill the swine-flu virus — a claim that some can reasonably make. The FDA bars companies from making claims for over-the-counter products about killing viruses, and has recently issued five warning letters to companies “for false/misleading H1N1 claims,” according to an FDA spokesman. H1N1 is, manufacturers say, rather fragile and easy to kill. But because of the FDA rule, many don’t test the efficacy of their products on the virus, says Doug Anderson, president of ATS Labs, which studies germ-killing products.

Dr. Larry Weiss, chief scientist and founder of hand-sanitizer maker CleanWell, markets his products with a 99.99% germ-mortality rate, in part because his competitors do.

But he worries that the limiting factor in hand hygiene isn’t the numerical claim, but instead noncompliance. “The public has become distracted by a series of numbers when there are more important considerations when it comes to hygiene behavior,” he says.
