As a pilot for more than thirty years I have relied upon check lists for my safety and the safety of my passengers. About ten years ago, I modified my take off check list as follows:
DOORS CLOSED AND SECURE : CHECK
TAXI CLEARANCE : CHECK
TAKE OFF CLEARANCE : CHECK
CABIN PRESSURE SET : CHECK
SINOFRESH : CHECK!!
Let me explain:
For the duration of most commercial flights, passengers are confined to an environment that has been created for them, as well as being exposed to all the airborne viral and bacterial germs brought aboard the aircraft by the many passengers.
Pressurizing the aircraft is done to offset the effects of high altitude flight. Basically this means, there is not enough atmospheric pressure at high altitudes to allow the body to release CO2 and nitrogen gasses. In creating an atmosphere that can be tolerated by humans, the generated air is very hot and dry, (10% to 20% humidity) and must therefore be cooled prior to release into the cabin, though remaining very dry.
If you have ever wondered why flight attendants push the consumption of liquids during flights, now you know; so you can remain hydrated. What you may not know; The environment that has been created dries out the sensitive membranes in the upper airway where viruses take hold. If your nasal and sinus passages dry out, your body’s natural defense mechanism, (a moist healthy nose), is severely compromised.
Combating the second Silent Hazard, specifically, the quality of the air you breathe during flight has been controversial since the 60’s-era aircraft began to be phased out. With the newer turbofan jet engines, more air means better fuel efficiency. Drawing off air to circulate through the cabin makes the engines less efficient, thus burning more fuel and costing the airline more money. The greatest risk here is confined space and communicable diseases among the passengers. Many airlines have published glowing reports regarding pristine air quality, however most samples are taken at peak performance of the aircraft engines. In today’s crowded airspace the potential for ground delays are very common resulting in the conditioning system being less efficient. There can be little doubt what impact this has on your health. One researcher from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 72% of passengers on a particular jet that had experienced a lengthy delay on the ground caught the flu!!
What is the SinoFresh Travelers Advantage? First and foremost, as a pilot bound by very stringent FAA rules governing drug screening requirements, I do not have to be concerned about side effects such as downiness, impaired judgment, rebound dependency, and a host of other issues often encountered with the use of drugs, even many over the counter remedies. Beyond that important advantage, by using SinoFresh, I know I am helping my nose’s natural moistening process. A friend of mine, Dr. Michael Stampar, who is a Ear, Nose and Throat physician has often told me this is very important. And lastly, but of extreme importance is the ability SinoFresh has in killing germs and bacteria in the nose before they can bring harm to me and others whom I may be breathing on. Over the years I have developed the notion that cleansing my nose is as important as cleansing my hands in the personal prevention regimen I embrace to defend against upper respiratory diseases. I have also learned that the use of SinoFresh is no more intrusive than brushing my teeth and gargling with an antiseptic mouth wash.
By the way, we have all heard about the grammar school teacher who developed a certain product because “she was tired of being sick.” As an aircraft pilot, I invented and patented SinoFresh with a similar goal in mind utilizing my knowledge and understanding of airplane systems and traveler’s needs.
