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!

Poop Germs? How Dirty Is Your Toothbrush?
The vast majority of toothbrushes are contaminated with fecal (yes, poop) germs! Not only is this disgusting, but it may be destructive to long-term health, and is opposite to medical knowledge combined with common sense, which tells us that if something is dirty, it should be cleaned.
Not long ago, the Discovery Channel Network aired an episode of its continuing show called “Myth Busters”. The show features two guys who investigate the truths and untruths behind urban legends. On one edition of the show, they tried to debunk the claim that toothbrushes are rife with germs, especially fecal germs. Conducting their own investigation, they tested the claim that nasty germs jump from toilets to toothbrushes by either airborne or direct contamination. They tested 24 toothbrushes and 2 controls that they themselves used for 30 days. The result? Of the 24 toothbrushes, all 24 tested positive for poop germs- that’s 100%. Even the 2 control toothbrushes they stored in the kitchen cabinet tested positive for fecal germs!

Can these germs make you sick? Absolutely.
A Professor of Risk Analysis from Harvard University School of Public Health had this to say, “It may surprise you- or sicken you- to know that if your toothbrush is stored near the toilet, the chances are great that it is covered with E.coli bacteria. Each time you flush the toilet, bacteria disperse in the air in the form of tiny particles…”. Researchers at Harvard University also believe that chronic infection, such as periodontal disease causes inflammation that often goes unnoticed by patients (internal inflammation is symptomless and is often impossible to detect).
Other research proves that acute periodontitis is a cause of low-level inflammation all over the body. Scientists at the University of Buffalo believe that the chemicals produced by the immune system's reaction to periodontal disease - the inflammatory response - spill over into the bloodstream through cuts in the gums. Then the chemicals make their way to the liver to produce proteins that inflame the arterial walls and clot the blood. Atherosclerosis and, ultimately, heart attack may result.
In spite of all the evidence, some people try and fool themselves into thinking that these things aren’t true or that they don’t apply to their toothbrushes. But make no mistake; your toothbrush is like a toilet brush, a bacterial hot-zone filled with all kinds of disgusting germs. You can be sure that allowing these germs to enter your mouth and bloodstream each day is harmful to your long-term health.
Jim Song, inventor of the Germ Terminator and author of the book “Why Your Toothbrush May Be Killing You…Slowly”, believes he has found the solution. Jim’s invention, The Germ Terminator, is the only toothbrush sanitization system that uses the proven power of steam to kill all germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi (molds and yeasts) and any other disgusting microbes that may have collected on your toothbrush. Most importantly, the Germ Terminator also provides a clean, germ free environment where your toothbrush can be safely stored until the next time you use it.

Protect Yourself and Your Family From Cold and Flu Viruses
The surest way to catch a cold or flu is to catch the germs that caused it. This is a known fact that we all recognize. Knowing this, most of us take precautious measures to remove cold and flu “bugs” from our homes, especially when one or more family members begin coughing or sneezing suspiciously. If you ask around, most people will tell you that spraying “hot spots” (door knobs, telephones, sinks, toilets, computer keyboards and video game controllers, etc.) with a known disinfectant, washing your bedding in hot water, using a hand sanitizer and frequently washing your hands will eliminate germs and keep you and your family healthy. While these are all excellent precautions and should be done a regular basis, is it really working?
Colds are the most prevalent infectious disease in the United States and are responsible for more school absences than any other illness. There are over one billion colds in the United States and currently an estimated 25–50 million cases of the flu reported each year — leading to 150,000 hospitalizations and 30,000–40,000 deaths yearly.
With such staggering statistics, what more can we do to protect our family members and ourselves?
Sanitize Your Toothbrush!
Why should you sanitize your toothbrush?
The answer is, simply enough, so we don’t get sick.
Many of us don’t consider the millions of microscopic germs and bacteria that are being removed from our teeth, gums, and tongue by our toothbrush when we brush- and few of us think about the fact that those disgusting germs and food particles continue to live, breed, and rot on the bristles of our toothbrush in between brushings.
We’ve known for a long time that germs cause disease and that we can protect ourselves by doing simple things like washing our hands and necessary things like sterilizing medical instruments.
But why hasn’t this wisdom been extended to our toothbrushes, which are FDA-regulated medical devices? For that matter, is there another medical device that comes into contact with the human soft mucous-membrane tissue that isn’t supposed to be sanitized before each and every use?
It is easy to see how the germs are spread around a room when a sick person is coughing or sneezing. Other times it is not so easy to spot the germs just waiting to pass the cold or flu virus your way. Needless to say, the mouth is one of the dirtiest parts of the body; not only are there millions of germs in there, it is the prime portal for infection to enter the body, and it is a major site of chronic and often undetected silent disease.
The bottom line is, every time we brush, we coat our toothbrush with millions of disease causing germs. Then we rinse our toothbrush under the tap for a few seconds, and throw it in the community cup with all the other germ-infested toothbrushes. We store that cup in the dirtiest room in the house- the bathroom- near the germ-laden toilet (a toilet with no trap which avails the room to sewer line gases each time the toilet is flushed) and sink, and we return to brush with the same toothbrush 6 to 12 hours later! We wouldn’t hang our forks or spoons in the bathroom exposed to bathroom vapors, germ laced dust and “bathroom bacterial mist”, but we have no problem doing this to our toothbrushes which are FDA regulated medical devices. We are literally injecting toothbrush germs directly into our bloodstreams every time we brush with an unsanitized toothbrush.
Are these germs a danger to your long-term health? Well, what do you think?
What does common sense tell you?
When you really think about it, using an unsanitized toothbrush is a nasty, disgusting practice that makes absolutely no sense at all.
The Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer is an FDA-approved medical device, which means we had the Germ Terminator tested in three major in dependent laboratories. We tested the Germ Terminator against the common cold virus (rhinovirus), the flu (influenza), herpes (simplexes I and II), and E. coli among other disgusting germs that have been found on toothbrushes and the Germ Terminator passed every test.

The Dangers of Using Ultraviolet (UV) Light Radiation to Sanitize your Toothbrush
Some toothbrush sanitizing devices use ultraviolet light (UV radiation) to kill germs. How safe is UV radiation and how does it work?
Ultraviolet radiation kills cells, including germ cells, by damaging their DNA. That’s what radiation does. When the damage inflicted by the UV light radiation is extensive, the repair process can break down. The longer the cells are exposed to the ultraviolet light, the greater the risk of an incorrect repair or a “missed” repair, the cell cannot carry out its normal functions. Depending on the extent of the damage, the cell will die, or the cell mutates into a precancerous, cancerous cell, or a “super bug”.
Ultraviolet light is extremely powerful – up to 10,000 times the intensity of the sun - and it is has the power to permanently alter or mutate cells, that’s what radiation can do. Each day we hear more about the potential of “super bugs” to wreak havoc on our bodies and resist antibiotics. You would not want to infect yourself with germs in the first place, let alone “super germs” mutated by ultraviolet light radiation!
Also, the capacity of UV radiation to kill toothbrush germs is limited to only those areas of the brush that the light radiation can directly reach. The bristles of your toothbrush are tightly bound together at the bottoms, leaving dark areas in between where germs can hide and the radiation is unable to reach. If your bristles become worn or frayed after a few weeks of use, then the areas of the bristles exposed to the UV radiation can become even more limited.
There is a reason why the majority of health care facilities choose to sterilize their medical instruments with the power of steam. Because it is the safest, most reliable, and most effective way to ensure a germ free environment!
The Germ Terminator is the only toothbrush sanitizer that cleans your toothbrush using a powerful combination of steam and dry heat and stores your toothbrush in a completely germ-free environment until the next time you brush. Unlike other toothbrush sanitization systems that use ultraviolet light, the Germ Terminator's steam technology is proven to be the most effective way to kill toothbrush germs. Steam sanitization is natural and safe - no harmful chemicals and no ultraviolet light - even doctors and dentists rely on the power of steam to effectively clean their instruments!

HARVARD STUDY SHOWS GUM DISEASE CAN MORE THAN DOUBLE A PERSON'S RISK OF PANCREATIC CANCER
Dominique Michaud of the Harvard School of Public Health, led a study analyzing data of over 48,000 male health professionals -a large number of whom were non-smokers- who were followed for 16 years. Interestingly, more than half the men participating in the study are dentists.
They found that men who had reported gum disease were 64% more likely to develope pancreatic cancer than men with healthy teeth and gums. Men who lost teeth within the past four years were especially likely to develop pancreatic cancer. Among nonsmokers, those with gum disease were more than twice as likely to have pancreatic cancer. Past studies have also linked gum disease to pancreatic cancer but without factoring in smoking, which contributes to both gum disease and cancer.
“The association may be due to systemic (throughout the body) inflammation and/or increased levels of carcinogenic compounds generated by bacteria in the oral cavity of individuals with periodontal disease,” the researchers wrote.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, it will kill 95 percent of the 32,000 people who get it this year.
These findings appear in the Jan. 17 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Jim Song, creator of the Germ Terminator Toothbrush Sanitizer, offers more information on the subject of silent inflammation and a suprisingly simple solution in his book, Why Your Toothbrush May Be Killing You... Slowly.
