Remove any kind of bad odors from your car once and for all. Only ozone does it! The AutoPure plugs into any car lighter and produces very small amounts of ozone, which disinfects, eats odors and leaves your car smelling clean and fresh inside! Just plug it in, leave the car windows closed and forget about it. Open the windows briefly when you first get in to remove any excess Ozone and continue to clean and deodorize your car while you drive.
Draws very little current and can be left ON without fear of running down your car battery (up to 35 hours average).
The AutoPure SA -1000, which is the little brother of the RoomPure Air Purifier for the home, is an attractive Air Purification which produces Ozone and Negative ions (1 million/second/cc), as does the AutoPure, although the RoomPure produces twice as much Ozone and Negative ions as the AutoPure.
Both are totally Maintenance Free because it uses Plateless Ozone Technology – No Costly or Breakable Plates to be concerned with. It also is does not have a fan in the unit, meaning that it is completely silent when operating.
And, unlike other auto air purifiers which produce ozone, the AutoPuredraws very little current which allows it to be left on at all times, including overnight while you are asleep! When you get in your auto the next morning you will have a completely deodorized vehicle interior. And unlike other “air purifiers” which only attempt to mask odors with overwhelming fragrances, the AutoPureactually destroys them, which only Ozone can do.

Any plant grown without sunlight seems a little strange to me. You can argue whether Chlorella fermented in tanks is as healthy as Chlorella grown in direct sunlight, but you cannot assert that fermented Chlorella is more natural because it simply isn’t. Chlorella has been growing in direct sunlight for as long as there has been plant life on Earth.Chlorella was the FIRST plant to appear on Earth, and that plant, like all
plants that came after it, grows only in direct and/or indirect sunlight. Only fungus such as mushrooms grows without sunlight and they do not produce chlorophyll.
Chlorella is the great grandfather of all plant life on Earth. Chlorella, the first plant to possess chlorophyll, appeared approximately 4 billion years ago. Fermented, tank-grown Chlorella, on the other hand, has been around since 2007, maybe a little earlier if you count the time it took to research and figure out how to artificially force Chlorella to produce chlorophyll. Some pronounce the invention of fermented Chlorella to be a “great breakthrough” and an “improvement”, but I am not one of them. If I thought so I would be importing it by the ton and selling it. However, I prefer to sell what I believe to be the best sunlight cultivated Chlorella on the planet, which is grown in Taiwan.
Growing Method of Fermented Chlorella
Chlorella grown using the Heterotrophic Tank Cultivation method is cultivated inside a sealed, sterilized tank. The Chlorella literally never sees the light of day. Sunlight is “replaced by” a solution of glucose and acetic acid, two elements Chlorella requires for the production of chlorophyll. Sorry, butthere simply is no “replacing natural sunlight” in my opinion. You can suggest that acetic acid and glucose combined are capable of replacing the God-made photons of sunlight and all the nutrients and life it brings to plants, but it simply is not true. Fermented Chlorella is yet another attempt by Man to overcome, if not outdo, the natural mechanisms and products of God’s creation. Good luck with that one. Thomas Edison, an atheist, stated “Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge”. At least he understood the depth, ingenuity and brilliance needed to create one blade of grass, let alone a single-celled plant called Chlorella which is far more complex. Of course all the wonders of Earth’s plant world pales in comparison to the mind-numbing complexity of the human body.
Fermentation is a cheap way to produce Chlorella. What if we started fermenting broccoli, asparagus, or avocados instead of growing them in sunlight as we have always done? Would we consider those “improved”, more nutritious, better tasting, the next “breakthrough”? I think not.
Processing: Raw vs. Cooked Fermented chlorella is boiled at temperatures over 127°C (260°F) in order to sterilize the chlorella so it is free of bacteria. This high temperature process is not used in sunlight grown Chlorella from Taiwan. The highest temperature used during natural sunlight grown Chlorella is 40°C (105°F), which occurs during the spray drying procedure that produces Chlorella powder. Sunlight grown Chlorella remains untouched by the destruction and radical reshaping of its organic chemical structure because it is not exposed to high temperatures.
Cracked Cell
The Chlorella cell has a hard outer shell of dietary fiber that is well known for removing radiation and heavy metals from the body. In order to get at the nutrients this tough shell of fiber must be cracked. There are two methods of doing this, Pressure-Release and Dynomill. Both methods are viable although Pressure-Release is quicker and more efficient. However, tank-grown fermented Chlorella producers do not open the cell wall using either of these methods because the cell wall of the Chlorella is so thin. This accounts for the lower amount of dietary fiber in tank-grown fermented chlorella, which is only 13% compared to 20% fiber of sunlight grown Chlorella.
Which Species?
There are two species of Sunlight Chlorella currently grown Chlorella sorokiniana (formally pyrenoidosa) and Chlorella vulgaris. It is not clear which species tank-grown fermented Chlorella is. I have inquired with a few of the producers and none have been forthcoming about which species they sell.
Taste and Feel I am not suggesting that there is anything harmful in fermented, tank-grown Chlorella or that one should not consume it. However, it is vastly inferior to that of sunlight grown Chlorella in my opinion. There have been claims that fermented Chlorella which is grown in complete darkness is more nutritious and has higher amounts of protein and chlorophyll. I have not found this to be the case in the nutritional analyses I have compared between sunlight grown and fermented, tank-grown Chlorella.

However, it is not strictly about comparing nutritional content between these two Chlorella products that are grown incompletely different environments. True their nutritional profiles are pretty close to one another, but there are other important differences that go beyond mere testing.
Like any wine or favorite food, so much of it comes down its taste and, more importantly, how it makes you feel. I personally find the taste of fermented Chlorella to be quite different from that of sunlight grown Chlorella. I would describe the taste as unnatural, more like that of the contrived flavor of a processed food trying to mimic a natural one. It definitely has a yeasty taste to it, and is much lighter in color than sunlight grown Chlorella, which is a deep, rich green. In addition, fermented Chlorella leaves me feeling flat, and does not give me the energizing lift that I get from sunlight grown Chlorella.
Recommendations
Personally, I would only eat fermented Chlorella in an emergency situation, as I would any other survival food if crisis circumstances were to arise. I am a raw foodist, and have been since 1999. However, I would eat cooked food – even processed food – to survive in an extreme emergency. They would be my last resort, as would fermented, tank-produced Chlorella.
Fermented Chlorella certainly is not a Genetically Modified Food (GMO), but it moves in that direction because it gravitates away from the Natural – that which God created – toward something more like that of an artificial, man-made processed food.
Other Chlorella Sources Japanese Chlorella has, unfortunately, become a victim of the perception that it may contain radiation from the massive Fukushima disaster that occurred in 2011 and continues today. Whether the notion of it being contaminated by radiation is true I do not know since a Radiation Test Certificate has not been released to the public from any of the Japanese Chlorella producers. However,we do provide Radiation Test Certificates and live updates of radiation levels in Taiwan in order to demonstrate beyond any doubt that our Chlorella and Spirulina from Taiwan is radiation free. I am quite concerned about radioactive contamination from Fukushima showing up in Hawaii and on the West Coast of the US. We started a website dedicated to Awareness and Protection from Radiation.
Chlorella grown in Korea – as of 2014 – is strictly of the fermented, tank-grown variety.
Some Chinese Chlorella has problems that stem from environmental contamination – particularly heavy metals – due to the high levels of industrial pollution that China is notorious for. China has a terrible reputation in the world’s food industry. When I attend ingredient expos I find little interest in Chlorella or Spirulina sourced from China due to its dismal reputation.
Some Chinese Chlorella also has persistent issues with the consistency of its products from batch to batch, year to year, decade to decade. The samples that producers first provide you with are often quite different from the product you eventually receive from them.
I have imported Chlorella from Taiwan for 18 years (since 1996) and the powder and tablets have always had the same consistent taste, color and appearance with every batch I have imported. This is what sets Chlorella grown in Taiwan apart from any other Chlorella in the world.

Steve Gruber wrote this on WJIMAM’s website : “I have always been an anti-vegetarian, anti-vegan proponent. It was very satisfying while driving home when I heard an interview on the radio with Lierre Keith, author of The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability, who spoke about how she became very ill from having a diet free of animal products. Her doctor told her she had to change her eating habits and incorporate animal based products if she wanted to be healthy again. The bottom line is you cannot get the nutrition you need to be healthy by not eating animal products. B-12, Creatine, Carnosine, DHA, and Vitamin D3 are only derived from eating animal products and are imperative for brain function. Sure you can take supplements but they do not absorb the same as getting it from the source. I am no doctor by any stretch of the imagination but I know from my doctors, friends who have experienced it for themselves and now others that are beginning to tell their story like Lierre Keith (photo left) writer, radical feminist, food activist and environmentalist, that not eating a balanced diet incorporating animal products is a path to malnutrition and an unhealthy life.”
That last sentence is . . . . quite a sentence, but what I think Steve Gruber meant is that a vegan diet is harmful to your health. Here is my response to his BLOG:
Steve, I’m sure you’re a nice guy, but you’re 100% wrong regarding your editorial about the vegetarian, vegan diet not being healthy. I’ve been a vegetarian for 34 years, a raw food vegan for 14 years. I live on a 100% plant based diet, no animal protein. I’m the author of several books on natural health, countless blogs and videos. I own the Watershed Wellness Center here in Lansing. You are yet another person in a long line who knows absolutely nothing about health; like everyone else, you haplessly listen to, and depend on, the medical establishment to know what to do to be healthy.
Unfortunately, the medical establishment knows nothing about health. They are necessary for injuries and trauma cases of all kinds, but when it comes to chronic disease and knowing what is actually healthy they’re clueless. For the record, I’m 56 years old and can run a 6 minute mile. I run 3.5 – 4 miles in 30 minutes every day. In short, I’m in great shape because I choose to be; and I perform at the level of a 25 year old strictly due to my diet. As a matter of fact, all disease comes from our diet; our genes have nothing to do with which diseases we get. That’s why family medical history is worthless except to know which foods your family has been eating is likely to give you the same diseases they have.
You stated: “B-12, Creatine, Carnosine, DHA, and Vitamin D3 are only derived from eating animal products and are imperative for brain function.” This is completely wrong! The body is capable of producing every one of the nutrients you list here except for the DHA, an essential fatty acid, which can be found in the plant world such as flax and chia seeds. Where do you think animals get fat from? Mammals and animals cannot produce fat. They get fat from the foods they eat.
By the way, the body is capable of healing itself of any disease. You simply need to stop putting the wrong things in your body and start putting the right things in your body. I’m sure you’ve never heard anything like this before, but this is the truth about health, not what anyone’s opinion of it is. I lived on your type of diet, cooked foods, animal based, for 22 years. I was a cooked food vegetarian for 18 years after that. You have not lived a single day on my diet, the raw food Vegan diet, yet you denounce it. How about Lierre Keith’s doctor? Has he ever lived on a Vegan diet? Actually, I would really like to know the name of the doctor who told her to eat meat, just for the record. Maybe the big question is: What was Lierre Keith’s diet exactly since she claimed she was a Vegan and what was her source for protein. Protein is the most misunderstood nutrient without doubt. A bull is a vegetarian, a grass grazer, and it does not eat meat. How strong is a bull? A chimpanzee, another herbivore, is four times stronger than a man.
I wanted to respond to your short manifesto on health because this is the kind of thing I constantly hear in the media and you are no exception. No offense, but your conclusions about health are full of misinformation and vague conclusions based on an interview you happen to hear. You base your entire health philosophy on an interview you heard with someone calling themselves a food activist? Really?
I stand behind every word I say above. Perhaps you can have me on your show some time and I will defend my words. It’ll give you an opportunity to either make a complete fool of me or get an education. I’ll be looking forward to that.

I really had no idea how many diets there actually are. I had heard of a few of these, but all of them have one thing in common and that is how to trick the body into losing weight, sometimes naturally, sometimes unnaturally, often in an unhealthy way.
When we hear the word diet we think of something that is designed to change the substances we put into our bodies so we will lose weight. We confuse weight-loss with health when they are not one in the same. There’s only one diet that leads to true health. Every other diet that someone has dream’t up only makes your body wonder why the heck you’re putting these substances into that don’t lead to true health.

. . . I see the latest list of “healthy diets” in news articles and on television such as this one. We learn there is a 17-Day Diet, the Dukan or French Atkins Diet, the Paleo Diet (of which I have seen 3 or 4 versions of).As usual there is another “Fad” Diet known as the Raw Food Diet, where crazy people only eat Raw Fruits and Vegetables and think their healthy. (I’m one of them.)
It has become more common for the Raw Food Diet to be listed amongst them. At least it has garnered enough recognition amongst the general population to be recognized in nearly every article and/or news article about “Fad-Diets” that appears these days. That’s the good news.
However, what bugs me is the fact that the Raw Food Diet is not being recognized for what it actually is, the only diet a person could live on if they indeed want to be healthy. There are Seven Components To My Health Protocol and they include Ionized Water, Spirulina and Chlorella, Raw Foods, Probiotics, Angstrom Minerals, Vigorous Exercise and a Positive Mental Attitude. So while there are many components to health, when we discuss what foods we should eat – what diet we should be on – if we expect to be healthy the only foods should be those that are not cooked. In essence, all disease comes from the persistent consumption of cooked and processed foods.
As for Fad Diets – or any other diet for that matter – all you need to know is this: eat raw fruits and vegetables. You can call that kind of diet anything you want – but in the end, it is the only one that is healthy. Don’t listen to dieticians of the medical world because they do not have a clue what they are talking about. They will denounce the only healthy diet – the Raw Food Diet – every time even though they have never experienced it for themselves. In case anyone wants a debate about whether the raw food diet is healthy or not, ask them to show you any evidence of chronic disease in the wild. While infectious diseases do exist in the wild no one has ever shot a deer, brought home, opened it up and found any evidence of cancer, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis or any other chronic disease. We are the only species on earth that gets these chronic diseases other than the animals we domesticate and put them on a processed food diet.

I take a few herbs each and every day, and one of them is Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) – better known as Indian Ginseng. I know of no other herb capable of giving you the kind of endurance energy that Ashwagandha delivers.

Reduces Melancholy and Apprehension
Heart Tonic
Defends Against Cognitive Decline
Regulates Blood Sugar
Pain Relief
Sleep Aid
Helps neurological function
Eye Health
Lowers Cholesterol
Combats Stress
reduces joint inflammation
Better sleep

Muscle and nerve pains
Menstrual Problems
liver problems
Even Combats Hiccups
Ashwagandha is the most popular herb in India. It is often called “Indian Ginseng.” Pictured left is a 2000 yr old manuscript describing Ashwagandha and it’s incredible health benefits. Ashwagandha is thought to have been used in India for more than 5000 years.
It is primarily known for boosting the immune system by increasing white blood cell production. It has a positive effect on sexual health by increasing fertility and sperm count. It is used as an aphrodisiac.
Ashwagandha is also used as a diuretic, reduces melancholy and apprehension, is a heart tonic, defends against cognitive decline, regulates blood sugar, pain relief, sleep aid, anti-epileptic, eye health, lowers cholesterol, prevents abnormal cell growth, combats stress. Ashwagandha is used for joint inflammation, reduce doubt and worry, sleep aid, reduce abnormal cell growth, respiratory issues, loss of pigmentation in skin, muscle and nerve pains, menstrual problems, and liver problems. It has even been used to combat hiccups.
Ashwagandha is a plant. The root and berry are used to make what Indians call medicine or more actually medicinal herb.
Ashwagandha is also used as an “adaptogen” to help the body cope with daily stress, and as a general tonic.
Ashwagandha improves cognitive ability. It decreasing pain and swelling (inflammation), and preventing the effects of aging. It is also used for fertility problems in men and women and also to increase sexual desire.
Ashwagandha is often applied to the skin for treating wounds. It can be used on open wounds in the form of a poultice. It has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties which help to defend against infection.
We offer Chlorella/Ashwagandha Tablets, which make it easy to take Ashwagandha since it has a bitter taste. Also the protein the chlorella helps the body to absorb the nutrients found in Ashwagandha more easily.
Caution Don’t confuse Ashwagandha with Physalis alkekengi since both are known as winter cherry.
Scholars at Banaras Hindu University, India, have conducted research that has shown that many of the elements of Ashwagandhaare antioxidants. The researchers looked at the effects these elements have on the brains of test animals and found that Ashwagandha led to larger amounts of three different natural antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. The scholars conclude, “These findings are consistent with the therapeutic use of W. somnifera as an health promoter. The antioxidant effect of active principles of W. somnifera may explain, at least in part, the reported anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects produced by them in experimental animals, and in clinical situations.” For years, Indians have prescribed Ashwagandha as a treatment for cerebral problems in the elderly, including memory loss.
AshwagandhaFactoid The name Ashwagandha is from the Sanskrit language and is a combination of the word ashva, meaning horse, and gandha, meaning smell. The root has a strong aroma that is described as “horse-like.”

How and why it’s important for you to clean your water ionizer on a regular basis. Let it go into cleaning mode for 30 seconds and don’t override the cycle. You also need to get it cleaned with citric acid every 12 – 18 months. Like changing the oil in your car, cleaning your water ionizer on a regular basis will extend the life of your water ionizer by many years.

An Adaptogen: Strengthens the Body’s Response to Physical/Emotional Stress
Promotes Balance and Homeostasis Throughout the Body
Holy Basil Supports the Cardiovascular System
Promotes Blood Stability
Holy Basil has Healing Power
Excellent For Digestion
Supports the Respiratory System
Contains Antibacterial, Antifungal Properties
Contains Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Holy Basil is known as the “Elixir of Life” because of its legendary ability to promote longevity. It is an adaptogen meaning it enhances the body’s natural response to physical and emotional stress, promoting balance and homeostasis in the body. Holy Basil supports the cardiovascular system and regulates insulin levels. It has healing power. It is excellent for digestion and the respiratory system. It has Antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
The advantage of combining a concentrated herb such as HOLY BASIL with a complete food such as Chlorella is that the protein allows the body to absorb and utilize the herb much more safely and effectively.
Basil is well known for removing radiation from the body. The radio-protective effects of Holy Basil are mainly attributed to the flavonoids, orientin and vicenin contained in the herb. These flavonoids have been shown to protect against radiation-induced cellular damage in human cells through increased anti-oxidant properties that include enzymes, free radical scavenging and reduced lipid peroxidation.

A shower filter. I never go anywhere without one. I don’t. The first thing I do when I get
into a hotel room is take out my pliers, take off the shower head and put on the shower filter I bring with me on every trip I take, whether I am staying in a hotel or a rented apartment.
I take the shower filter out, the filter and my pliers and put them through airport security screening so my luggage doesn’t get searched. The pliers must be under 7″ (17.5cm) to be allowed on a plane these days. No problem. 5″ pliers work just fine.
The reason I started doing this is that several years ago I stopped in Kentucky overnight at a Days Inn and the water was so full of chlorine that my skin turned lobster red, and itched so bad that I had to run out and buy some cream in the middle of the night, which helped a little. I vowed to NEVER be without a shower filter again and I have yet to find a hotel shower head that I could not take off and put my shower filter on. The difference between showering in chlorinated and de-chlorianted water is amazing.
Chlorine is an unstable molecule that wants to bind with anything it can get its hands on. When it comes in contact with bacteria or viruses, it destroys them in seconds. However, when it comes in contact with your skin it damages it. And in a hot shower your skin will absorb up to 12 times any substance, including chlorine, if it is present. In a hot shower, the steam becomes a carrier for the chlorine which essentially turns it into a form of chlorine gas that is breathed directly into your lungs. Chlorine is terrible for you on every level. It’s a known carcinogen – cancer causing element.
KDF removes free chlorine from the water by converting it into an environmentally safe and harmless soluble known as zinc chloride. That’s why we sell the Aquanator Shower Filter with a replaceable filter cartridge. The Aquanator Shower Filter will typically remove more than 90% of the free chlorine. Don’t go anywhere without one!
