Clinical Research proves
"The consistent control of emissions
from a central vacuum system means there are fewer airborne particles
in the living area to trigger allergic reactions."
University
of California Davis Study
Research
has revealed a new remedy for allergy sufferers that is not a drug:
a Beam Central Vacuum System. Clinical research at the University
of California at Davis has shown that a Beam system provides measurable
relief for allergy sufferers.
Clinical
Interpretation
The
research
Indoor air pollution is one of the most common problems addressed
by allergists and is troublesome for their patients. Central vacuum
systems often are recommended for removing pollutants. Researchers
at the University of California at Davis set out to determine whether
a central vacuum system can relieve allergy symptoms.
The
findings
Unlike
conventional vacuums that can recirculate dust, a Beam system removes
100% of contacted dust, mites, pollen, animal dander and other allergens,
and is superior to a conventional vacuum in providing relief from
allergy symptoms.
Study results were published in an article entitled "The Influence
of a Central Vacuum System on Quality of Life in Patients with House
Dust-Associated Allergic Rhinitis", which appeared in the Journal
of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology*. The study
was conducted under the auspices of Stanley M. Naguwa, M.D., and
M. Eric Gershwin, M.D., both of the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy
and Clinical Immunology, University of California at Davis School
of Medicine, Davis, CA, USA.

Nasal
Symptoms: Patients who used central vacuum systems rated
the severity of stuffy/blocked nose, runny nose, sneezing
and postnasal drip 47 percent less than the baseline and 49
percent less than when they used a conventional vacuum. |
 |
Non-Nasal/Eye
Symptoms: Patients who used central vacuum systems rated
the severity of fatigue, thirst, reduced productivity, tiredness,
poor concentration, headache or feelings of being worn out
48 percent less than the baseline and 46 percent less than
when they used a conventional vacuum. |
 |
Eye Symptoms:
Patients who used central vacuum systems rated the severity
of itchy, watery, sore and swollen eyes 61 percent less than
the baseline and 60 percent less than when they used a conventionall
vacuum. |
 |
Sleep
Symptoms: Patients who used central vacuum systems rated
the severity of sleep symptoms including difficulty getting
to sleep, waking up at night and lack of a good night's sleep
44 percent less than the baseline and 49 percent less than
when they used a conventional vacuum. |
