The Dirtiest Room in the House

In addition to the germs already existing in the mouth that end up on the bristles of your toothbrush and breed and multiply, millions of germs and bacteria can assemble on your toothbrush from its everyday storage environment, the bathroom.

The typical household bathroom is popularly known as "the dirtiest room in the house" for a reason. Even if you take care to neurotically clean the bathroom in your house every 2 to 3 days, there is no doubt that loads of germs, blood, and other bodily fluids are flying around as a result of hand-washing, toilet flushing, bathing, shaving, or any of the other grooming and personal hygiene activities that we carry out inside this little room.

Aside from the "bacterial mist" that is evident after each toilet flush and can stay in the air for at least two hours, the highest incidence of nasty bathroom germs actually occurs within and around the sink! That's right, the same place where you wash your face and hands, and brush your teeth every day!

How many of us rest our toothbrushes on the surfaces of a dirty sink, or how many of us have had our toothbrushes slip into the same dirty sink or even the floor? If you are like most people, the toothbrush is conveniently stored on or next to the the sink, contained within the infamous "community cup" holding the toothbrushes of every person in the household. It's here in the decorative and grimy family toothbrush cup that toothbrushes can actually share germs. This convenient storage habit is why the Journal of the Canadian Dental Association has stated that "toothbrushes can transmit disease." In technical terms, this is described as "cross-contamination.

No matter how much of a germ freak you may call yourself or how often you clean your bathroom and practice techniques to limit the toilet "aerosol effect" and control the amount of sink germs that reach your toothbrush, unfortunately, there is virtually no escaping toothbrush germs. Even new toothbrushes aren't safe. A study published in the Journal of the Oklahoma Dental Association found that 4 out of 5 (80%) brand new toothbrushes from one manufacturer were contaminated right out of the box!
Instead of buying a new toothbrush each time you brush, as they are getting more and more expensive and some are contaminated anyway, why not sanitize your toothbrush and kill the germs? Now that there is a way to solve this dirty little problem, you can easily use a clean, sanitized toothbrush, and protect your immune system from all of the nasty germs living on your toothbrush bristles. It just makes sense.

Inflammation: "The Secret Killer"

It is a well established fact that chronic oral infections can significantly, if not certainly, increase the risk of acquiring or worsening serious health problems like heart and lung disease, diabetes, stroke, and premature or low birth weight. According to the American Diabetes Association, approximately 90% of adult Americans have or will have gum disease some time in their lives.

If we take a minute to consider gum disease, which is a kind of chronic bacterial infection, it is easy to see how this condition can contribute to systematic inflammation turned chronic. A chronic infection like gum disease can undoubtedly affect the way in which your body's inflammatory reaction performs. When let untreated, it can persist as an ongoing infection in our mouths. Remember, gum disease is caused by an infectious, contagious bacterium that invades the delicate soft tissue of our gums - and inflammation is what causes our gums to become red and inflamed.

Research on inflammation is uncovering a fascinating network of interconnections between various diseases that we never dreamed would be inter-related. Inflammation can explain the connection between chronic oral infections and heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, to name just a few. This is because chronic inflammation in one area of the body can affect the rest of the body, and when we treat inflammation in one part of the body, other parts of the body also become healthier. And it's why the former U.S. Surgeon General said, "You are not healthy without good oral health".

So if we eliminate the germs on our toothbrush bristles by sanitizing our toothbrushes prior to every use, then we can bring a final end to chronic infection and re-infection from germs on our toothbrushes, and hopefully help to prevent, or at least minimize, chronic mouth infections like gum disease. Putting an end to chronic mouth infections will eradicate the need for a chronic inflammatory response in the mouth, and thereby reduce inflammation throughout the body. Remember, the mouth is the body's prime gateway for bacterial invasion and infection. Why not do everything we can to prevent recurring instances of infection directly at the source?

When You Hear It Steam, You Know It’s Clean!

Why should YOU be using the Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer?
I’m sure you’ve heard about other methods for cleaning your toothbrush, like soaking it in bleach, hydrogen peroxide, or mouthwash, boiling it in a pot on the stove, placing it in the dishwasher, exposing it to ultra-violet light radiation or ozone, and some people even think that just leaving it out to dry will effectively get rid of all the germs. A few of these techniques might work to kill some germs, but they are either essentially ineffective and/or potentially hazardous to your health.

The Germ Terminator is entirely unique with its patented steam-sanitization and germ-free storage system. Using the pre-measured GT cup, you just add a little water to the GT. The Germ Terminator generates a burst of continuous germ-killing steam that safely, efficiently, and effectively wipes out greater than 99.9999% of all germs tested in major laboratory testing with absolutely no germs detected after any test! Again, all you need to do is add water!

Doctors and dentists wouldn’t think of using one of their instruments without steam-sterilizing them first. Most mothers wouldn’t reuse the nipple from a baby bottle or a thermometer without boiling it or steaming it. Why? Because we all know that high-temperature steam combined with proper timed duration of steaming, is virtually the only way to successfully kill all potentially pathogenic germs and microbes. That’s exactly what dentists and physicians do to sterilize their instruments.

It just makes sense. When it comes to something you put in your mouth, CLEAN has got to be better than DIRTY.
When you hear it steam, you know it’s CLEAN!

A Star is Born

Since the Germ Terminator's outstanding performance in major independent laboratory testing, the news media has jumped at the opportunity to inform audiences about the outrageous amount of germs that can live on toothbrush bristles and how we can best go about destroying them.

ABC News Los Angeles did a television report on toothbrush germs warning viewers that "If you're not careful, you could be spooning a brush full of bad bacteria into your body." As a safe and effective solution, the news station presented the Germ Terminator, "a new device that steam cleans and dries your toothbrush with a germ casualty rate greater than 99.9999%!"

Since then, CNBC, CNN, CBS Channel 8 News Las Vegas, FOX News San Diego, FOX News Denver, ABC News Las Vegas, WCPO Cincinnati, KVUE Austin, and other stations have all reported on the effectiveness of the Germ Terminator as a natural, safe, and easy way to sanitize your toothbrush and protect your immune system from millions of pathogenic germs.

Click here to view video clips of the Germ Terminator in the news and also featured on the popular shows The View and Mythbusters!

Block Those Nasty Germs!

The toothbrush is used two to three times a day to remove dangerous germs and break up the bacteria-ridden plaque that causes gum disease, cavities, and chronic infections. Where do you think the germs go after we brush?

If you are not sanitizing your toothbrush already, the bacteria, viruses, fungi, rotting food particles, and parasites can remain on your toothbrush. They’re too small to be seen with the naked eye, but believe me, they are there. They are joined by other bugs from neighboring toothbrushes, dirty hands, coughs and sneezes, and germs from the aerosol spray dispersed in the air when the toilet is flushed in addition to anything else that may be airborne from the sewer line or ventilation ducts.

This group of germs then waits on the bristles of your trusty toothbrush to be transmitted to your bloodstream and then to vital organs and tissues through the cuts made in your gums the next time you brush. While blood may not appear in the sink every time you brush, you can be sure that every time you use a toothbrush, the bristles on your trusty brush can be making microscopic cuts in your gums. This can happen every time, whether you see the evidence in the sink or not.

This is a potentially dangerous process because the direct contamination through the cuts in the gums allows the germs to bypass the body’s natural immune defense mechanisms and go straight into the bloodstream. Simply put, all areas of the body can be affected by the presence of oral germ infections and all parts of the body can be negatively affected by chronic germs on toothbrush bristles.

By sanitizing our toothbrushes each time we brush, we provide no easy route for the toothbrush germs to make their way into our bloodstreams. In doing so, we favor the mouth germs that are actually good for us, and help eliminate the evolution of the bad ones.

It Just Makes Sense!
