Staff Reports

A Kernersville-based mold prevention company that uses eco-friendly products will be featured as part of an upcoming "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" TV episode concerning an Arizona home plagued by mold problems.

Adding to the Bell family woes are medical problems 14-year-old Lizzie Bell has suffered.

The ABC episode will air Sunday at 8 p.m.

Lizzie was born with a rare blood condition characterized by a failure of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, which has left the family with mounting medical bills on top of severe mold and termite problems.

Mold Proof, based in Kernersville and Taylors, S.C., donated the mold prevention system.

Staff from Greensboro, Tucson, Ariz., Richmond, Va., and Nashville, Tenn., helped install it.

Mold Proofing a house is pretty hard to do since the mold spores that cause the mold are carried in by the very air we breath and need to freshen regularly. Additionally mold spores we bring in on our clothing and shoes and everything else that comes into the house can not be ignored.

Producing a house that will not grow mold is a nice start on limiting the mold that can actually grow in the parts that have been coated with anti-fungal coating, but it does nothing for carpet, widow dressings, clothing, bedding and other items that either were not or can not be sealed.

Secondly, the real irritant is not the mold fungus, but the spores it produces especially when it is deprived of water.

There is an alternative that anyone can use and does not require that your house be destroyed to apply the fix. There is a gas called Chlorine Dioxide that when used in very small quantities (less than .01 ppm (not percent)) will kill active mold fungus, mold spores, along with bacteria and viruses while the house in inhabited.

This is not a silver bullet but it is pretty close. And yes in higher doses chlorine dioxide can be and will be toxic but I am talking about concentrations in the 10+ppm range. That is 1000 times more than the recommended and normally produced concentration used to kill mold, spores, bacteria and viruses without making them more resistant to treatment.

SO, where can you buy this magic gas? You can't. It is illegal to ship and bottle and store in any container.

You get the components that make the gas packaged in a nice, strong, protective packet/reactor that is patent pending and completely legal to ship, package and use. The packets are available right now on the internet at http://odorxit.com/?ancogeneral . If you can read really simple instructions and turn on a small fan or ceiling fan you can use this product to change your life for the better.
