We are an indoor environmental management company located in Thousand Oaks, CA., AllergySweep is one of the first companies in the US dedicated solely to improving the quality of life for people struggling with persistent allergies and allergy related asthma through the use of indoor environmental controls (EC). Although allergen avoidance is universally accepted as the cornerstone of any well thought out symptoms management plan, the practice for those sensitive to biological contaminants and other irritants in the domestic/residential environment, has been easier said than done until recently. With AllergySweep's comprehensive and scientifically proven process of source removal, protein neutralization and particulate filtration, practioners now have an extremely effective tool to drastically reduce trigger exposure in the very place where patients typically spend two thirds of their time - their homes. AllergySweep believes in Building a Better Bubble.

AllergySweep's commitment to helping asthma sufferers
Statistical information demonstrates that asthma is an epidemic that is both serious and widespread, and that it has been growing rapidly. The disease affects all age groups: infants, school children, young adults, baby boomers, and seniors. Nearly one in every 13 people in the United States has the disease, and the growth of asthma among children is particularly alarming. Other little known facts include:
• The cost to society of asthma is approximately $20 billion in direct and indirect healthcare costs annually.
• Asthma is the most serious, chronic, disabling disease of childhood.
• Childhood asthma has sky-rocketed in the inner city. Asthma disproportionately strikes the poor, who are at least 50 percent more likely to have the disease than those not living in poverty. While the reasons are not completely clear, research by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demonstrates that a combination of poverty-related issues trigger attacks.
• Because of asthma, children miss approximately 13 million school days a year. Poor children, already at risk for failure, are therefore more likely to fall even farther behind in their schoolwork. They may be obese, because they find it difficult to engage in physical activities and sports.
• Approximately 11 percent of all asthma sufferers are over age 65. Respiratory tract infections, especially common among the elderly, often trigger attacks. Asthma can contribute significantly to early physical deterioration and even death among the elderly.
• Asthma causes approximately 10 million missed workdays a year.
• Asthma is only partially controlled by the best treatments available.
Despite the overwhelming prevalence of the disease and the suffering it causes, relatively little progress has been made to date in improving treatment, understanding the causes, preventing, and finding a cure. |
