I’ve mentioned before that we’ve been having some serious money problems, and I thought it was about time I shared with you what my Dad is doing.

Inhale Now. I don’t know how many of you have asthma or allergies, but I do, and that was Dad’s starting point. He was looking for ways to make money, and decided to focus on air-purification, and found EcoQuest’s Fresh Air units. He signed up as a dealer and we’ve had one of these in our house since the end of December–just in time for the acid test, when my best friend was home visiting from California. She’s allergic to Chappy and hasn’t been able to spend more than 20 minutes in our house in years without her asthma kicking in. Well, two days after we got that unit, she visited for almost six hours, with Chappy sitting just a few feet away on his pillow. Dad gave a trial unit to a good friend who has emphysema who was able to sleep through the night for the first time in years. Pretty impressive, right?

Mind you, they’re not air filters–they actually purify the air, killing upwards of 99% of germs and mold spores, which makes them good not only for allergy-sufferers, but for anybody with a germ problem. (Like, say, having the kids bringing home germ after germ from school?) They sell little petrie dishes, too, so that you can test how many germs are in your house before the unit is installed and then again one week later–the results, I have to tell you, are impressive. And did I mention that none of us has been sick since we got this? We got through a whole winter without any colds. Even Chappy’s skin problem which never quite goes away has improved. It gets rid of smoke and smells, too. And one unit–less than 12″ square–is enough for our entire house. They come in other sizes, too–I even have a little, palm-sized unit plugged into my office at work.

They have water-filter units, too. And laundry! Oh, I have to tell you about the laundry unit. We don’t have one of these yet, but one of Dad’s friends does. It somehow “charges” the inflowing water so that you don’t need detergent. Or fabric softener. Or hot water. At all. Which not only saves money, but is good for the environment. Because that’s the other thing we like about this company–they’re all about being environmentally-friendly. They work on the LAWN principle–the Laws of Air, Water, and Nutrition. (Um, did I mention the Nutritional Supplement program? It sounds nothing less than revolutionary, some of the testimonials Dad’s been hearing from other dealers are downright inspirational.) And, one of their next big launches is a unit that somehow makes the electricity coming into your home more efficient, or something like that–anyway, it reduces the amount of electricity you use, which has to be a good thing!

So, I’m telling you this for a couple reasons.

One, I hope you’ll go check out Dad’s website (www.inhalenow.com) which has links to the products. (If it asks for a password, type “guest”.) We’ve been very impressed with the ones we’ve tried so far.If you’re nearby, you get a free trial with the unit for a week before you have to make up your mind. (And, if you’re not nearby, maybe you do, too, though I don’t know about the shipping?)(Edited to add: Checked with Dad–you’d have to pay the shipping back if you didn’t like it, but otherwise, no cost.) Regardless, though, it’s absolutely no pressure if you want to try it out.

Two, if you’re interested in making some extra money, maybe you’d like to become a dealer yourself? There are links for that, too. It can be part-time or full-time, and there’s no question that this can be profitable. Dad’s not making quite enough yet to cover all our expenses, but he is making money at this. And he gets to buy stuff for us at wholesale prices (like the extra air purifier he gave me for my bedroom, or the water filter in the shower, or the vitamins he and Mom are taking). They have a nice profit system set up so that you not only make money by selling things yourself, but if you sign up other people, you get something like a finder’s fee/commission on each sale they make–or that people they sign up makes. And, you know, every little bit helps!

Like I said, we’ve been very impressed with every thing about this company so far–not only the products, but Dad has been impressed with the company’s entire outlook and business methods. If you think it could help you, too–healthwise or financially–please check it out. Or contact Dad directly.

I’m telling all of you this because I know you’re all helpful, caring people who might be willing to take a look just to humor me. Not to mention, um, maybe spreading the word? And, naturally, I want to help my Dad all I can. But also, we really ARE impressed with these and, well, like any good blogger, it’s all about spreading the word, right? Just like I have on countless great yarn bargains over the years.

(Oh, and, um, I designed his website and have never done that before–I’d appreciate feedback on that, too. What do you think? Please, though, be kind.)

Thank you, all!
