The Honeywell Advantage


The importance of air quality is often overlooked in our daily lives. As air pollution becomes
more rampant, many people are susceptible to illness and sicknesses. This is where air
purifiers step in and play their part. You may not be able to control the air quality outside, but
what about at home?
Having an air purifier in your home helps to ensure cleaner and fresher air for your family. This
is especially important for families with babies as well as those who suffer from sinus
problems, skin allergies or asthma. As a preventive measure, Honeywell air purifiers help by
eliminating the source of irritants that can trigger attacks and breakouts.
Honeywell HEPA air purifiers are the best choice for reducing airborne allergens. In fact, more
doctors recommend Honeywell air purifiers to their patients than any other brand. (AQS
Physicians Survey, Nov 2005). In terms of design and efficiency, Honeywell is an established
manufacturer of aerospace equipment and jet engines. The same turbo technology that wins
wars is also used to battle airborne contaminants. This feature gives Honeywell air purifiers
extraordinary cyclonic turbo airflow that can draw in stale air from every corner of the room,
even from the floor to ceiling almost immediately. As the air circulates through Honeywell's 360°
heavily-pleated HEPA filter, it efficiently traps common household particles such as dust, pollen,
mould spores and pet dander. It even helps reduce viruses and bacteria.
Honeywell air purifiers are medically graded and have been recommended by various medical
publications in the United States. It is also the best selling air purifier in the United States for
the 9th year running. Think about how much difference a quality Honeywell air purifier could
make in your home every day.

Expert Answers to your health concerns

Dear Editor...
Q & A

Q: I am a regular customer in 8 Avenue for the past year. Recently, I found that ALTERNI has shifted
to Amcorp Mall G-15. Why the move to a shopping mall? Will there be any difference?
A: The main reason behind the move to Amcorp Mall is to bring you more convenience and
satisfaction. Amcorp offers easy access, convenient parking and even the use of the LRT. There
are other outlets in Amcorp, our customers can do more when they drop by to pick up their
supplements.
We have introduced the new Asian concept store that brings the best of Asian traditional
medicine enriched by some of the best scientific institutes of Asia like the Indian Institute of
Integrative Medicine, University of Tsinghua, University of Hamdard, Universiti Sains Malaysia,
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Forest Research Institute of Malaysia.
You can drop by anytime to get your bone density test done at no cost at all. It is available every
day from 10am to 9pm! Stay tuned for the upcoming activities in G-15.
Q: I purchased GRIFATON™ sometime ago for my daughter and son. They are finishing their
first can of GRIFATON™. My son, who is prone to flu, is doing better than before as his cold
recently only lasted less than three days. However, my daughter got sick and got Candida after
consuming GRIFATON™. Why is it not working for my daughter?
A: GRIFATON™ is enriched with proprietary mushroom extract that boosts immunity. When
the immune system “wakes up,” many “residents” and “quiet” infections are picked up and they
surface. It could be viewed as “cleansing.” The infection itself will be “mild” and “uneventful.”
It is advisable for your daughter to continue taking it. Your daughter will keep getting stronger
over time like your son.
Q: I am a regular customer and I have been taking BONEX™ for five years. Do I still have to take
NACOX™?
A: Yes. You can certainly take NACOX™ especially if you still have joint and muscular pain.
BONEX™ helps to relieve joint and muscular pain by regenerating the cartilage, which will
eventually improve their overall condition over time (long-term effect). However, NACOX™ gives
relief to joint and muscular pain by reducing the swelling and inflammation, which will result in
almost instantaneous pain relief (short/mid-term effect). Taken together, BONEX™ and NACOX™
provide a synergistic effect on relieving joint and muscular pain. You will be pleased to note that
NACOX™ comes with a Money Back Guarantee. If you are unhappy with it for any reason, simply
return it to us for a full no-questions-asked refund. No other supplement in pain relief will give
you a guarantee like this.

Why BONEX® GOLD Green Tea?


MANY of you expressed some concern over the milk (lactose intolerance) and chocolate
(cocoa is heaty) that is in the earlier formulations. Some of you also expressed concern over
the calories present in the formulation. That's why green tea flavour was developed.
The green tea formula is significantly better than the earlier
formulation due to the following:
• No milk • No cocoa • Very low calories
Indeed, the formulation of suspending collagen in it has led to us
filing for a formulation patent.
