In Today's Indoor Health Care News:
Can school children catch asthma at school?
By: Erica Byfield

Benton, KY - Now that school's back in session, there's a heightened risk your child could catch a cold or even develop asthma.

Recess, is the physical release every child needs; whether it's the monkey bars or a game of catch with friends. It's also this type of hyperactivity that strikes of cord in Peyton Potter's and Jordan Moss' parents, they have asthma.

"If I run too fast I get to wheezing and I have to take my inhaler and it's usually at recess," said Moss.

"Once I had it real bad and I had to go to the hospital," said Potter.

But it's not only outdoor activity that can leave these little ones out of breath there are some hidden indoor culprits too.

To name a few: cleaning supplies janitors use, a mold in ceiling tiles and furry pets like tinsel the rabbit in Miss Ashley's kindergarten class.

"You have to be organized in an elementary school," said Pam Lampkin the school Health Aid.

She's worked at Benton Elementary School for the past 12 years and says each year there are nearly 30 students wondering the halls with asthma.

"We haven't seen an increase in the numbers," Lampkin added, most students start off the year knowing what to do if they're in trouble and that's the key.

These way health care workers know: first of all they have asthma and secondly how to treat their individual symptoms.

Some students like Peyton Potter have wisdom beyond their years, "you need to pay close attention and don't run all say. You need to run and then hydrate yourself with some water and sit out a little while and then you can play a bit more."

Potter's father is a local doctor and told the keys to beating an asthma attack.

Lampkin says he's got it right and hopes other students in the Heartland follow Potter's lead.

According to an American Lung Association poll, 73 percent of parents of children with asthma report they're concerned about their child in school, but fewer than half inform the teacher the student has a breathing problem.

 

 

 

 

REM Mate's Air Purifier Breakthrough for Whole Health

Go from Poor Sleep to Pure Sleep with REM Mate, the whole health, pure air, pure sleep bedroom machine.

[ClickPress, Mon., July 24,2006] Working with air purifiers for many years, the REM Mate health-science engineering team worked in Buffalo to create the all-steel, all American construction of REM Mate, the whole health, pure air, deep sleep bedroom machine.

"Originally created to ease the struggles of allergy and asthma patients," said REM Mate's co-founder, Bill Zimmermann, "REM Mate is seen as a bedroom must for every family member. REM Mate is essentially an "whole health" breathing mate for one's sleep energy."

With a 2.1 billion dollar a year sleep prescription market for the over 60% sleep deprived Americans, REM mate provides a drug free, pure air approach to better breathing and deeper sleep.

REM Mate's unique approach to the market is direct from health care provider to patient, in addition to consumers reaching us directly via our web site: http://www.indoorhealthcare.com.

Indoor Health Care Network introduces REM Mate to the allied health care community, and creates a Clinic package for health care providers to perform as Indoor Health Care Associates. These Associates treat their patients beyond their symptoms, to inquire and advise as to their home indoor environments, where each of us spend up to 90% of our time, in environments polluted some five to 20 times more that the outside environment.

We breathe 15,000 to 35,000 times a day, one third of which is horizontal, at half our daytime respiratory speed, when attempting sleep. REM Mate offers a pure sleep environment with which to breathe better.

Afterall, breathing gives us 90% of our energy, so breathing REM Mate's pure air during our night time re-energizing period is a must for the whole health of every family member.
