Help keep sick 'bugs' at
bay with Soni-Pure
BY Bill Misner, Ph.D., and Steve Born
T
here are a plethora of ways, most
of which are simple, common
sense strategies, to help protect
you from getting sick during the
cold and flu season:
• Eating a healthy diet that contains a
variety of whole plant foods
• Supplementing your diet with a
variety of antioxidant nutrients
• Making sure you’re drinking
sufficient amounts of clean, pure
water (see next page)
• Exercising regularly
• Reducing stress as much as possible
• Getting adequate amounts of sleep
Last, but certainly not least, is washing
your hands with soap and hot water
frequently. Dr. Bill Misner elaborates:
"Hand washing is the beginning of
infection control. This is an indisputable
fact, not simply a statement. Hands
need to be washed with soap and water,
and the temperature needs to be hot.
Why? Because oils on the skin allow
common germs to adhere to the skin
more easily. Though hot water does
kill some microbes, water alone fails to
remove germs completely. The purpose
of hand washing is to remove or destroy
(disinfect) pathogenic microorganisms
("germs" in common parlance) in order
to avoid transmitting them to yourself or
others."
Soni-Pure – When hot water and soap
aren’t available (and perhaps even
when they are!)
With even more potent strains of viruses
and bacteria now present, and seemingly
increasing at an alarming rate, the need
for practicing good personal hygiene—
especially frequent hand washing—is
no longer an option, it’s a necessity.
However, hot water and soap are not

always readily available, and that’s
where Soni-Pure comes in. As per Dr.
Misner, “Soni-Pure is a highly effective
antibiotic foaming agent, shown to
remarkably clean hands by physically
drawing aerobic bacteria, fungi, yeasts,
and mold spores out of skin pores where
aerobic bacteria were either inhibited or
totally destroyed.”
Summary
Unlike the overwhelming number of
hand sanitizers available, Soni-Pure is
petroleum-free and alcohol-free; it won’t
dry your skin or expose you to harsh
chemicals. Soni-Pure’s beneficial effects
last longer as well. Dr. Misner writes,
“Alcohol-based skin sanitizers kill 99%
of aerobic bacteria and yeast/mold/
fungus immediately; however,
the microbial proliferation
rebounds rapidly post
alcohol-based application,
while the natural Soni-
Pure formula postponed
microbial colonization for
up to eight hours after
application.”
Additionally, Soni-
Pure doesn’t have that
awful chemical odor; in
fact, Soni-Pure smells
downright pleasant!
Once you try it, we know
you’ll love it and won’t
ever go back to those
harsh, alcohol-based hand
sanitizers. Taking the
aforementioned steps,
and including Soni-Pure
as part of your “arsenal,”
will help you stay healthy
all year long, especially
during the cold and flu
season. HN
