Dallas-based ActivePure Technology is a global provider of air and surface purification products and technology focused on immediate solutions for eliminating the COVID-19 virus indoors. Fair Park is home to the State Fair of Texas, Cotton Bowl Stadium, museums, performance venues and nearly one thousand events each year.</span></p><br><span style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-size:36px;"><span style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-size:30px;"><p>ActivePure Technology, backed by science, is the fastest-acting, most powerful surface and air disinfecting technology available. The technology evolved from the NASA space program and is now used by thousands of schools, hospitals, restaurants, event facilities, businesses, places of worship and residences worldwide.</p></span></span></span></span><br><span style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-size:36px;"><span style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-size:30px;"><p>ActivePure Technology has consistently proven its ability to safely control and neutralize contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in numerous independent studies. Multiple FDA-compliant labs have shown that ActivePure Technology inactivates almost 100% of surface and airborne contaminants within the first 24 hours, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.</p></span></span></span></span><span style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-size:36px;"><span style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-size:30px;"><p><br></p><h2><span style="font-weight:bold;">ActivePure Works Immediately</span></h2><div><br></div><p>ActivePure Technology begins working immediately to disinfect exposed surfaces and the air safely. The FDA validated the safety of ActivePure Technology for use in occupied spaces in 2020 with the ActivePure Medical Guardian becoming an FDA Cleared Class II Medical Device. The same technology in the ActivePure Medical Guardian is available in both portable and HVAC installed units, which run quietly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.</p><p><br></p><p>Devices using ActivePure Technology release tens of thousands of microscopic safe ActivePure Molecules that make their way to airborne and surface pathogens and contaminants and neutralize them on impact. Real-time disinfection is critical for indoor spaces including, stadiums and event spaces where social distancing is difficult. As statewide safety restrictions begin to lift, Americans want to return to normal life and desire to have an added layer of protection. ActivePure Technology is the best solution to give fans peace of mind to return to sporting events, <a href="https://www.focusdailynews.com/desoto-arts-live-music-festival/">live music</a> shows, and large indoor community gatherings.</p><p><br></p><p>ActivePure will be fully installed in select Cotton Bowl Stadium interior spaces for the Tour Águila; an exciting match between Club América and C.F. Monterrey on March 27 at 6:30 PM. The Cotton Bowl Stadium is following CDC protocols with pod seating, social distancing and will <a href="https://www.focusdailynews.com/tarrant-county-requires-face-masks-through-august-3/">require face mask</a> usage.</p><h2><br></h2><h2><span style="font-weight:bold;">The stadium’s interior protected areas include:</span><ul><li>500 Sq.

While we believe this is the first installation of ActivePure in a National Historic Landmark of Fair Park’s size, our products are used in many other major event and sporting facilities across the world,” said Joe Urso, CEO of ActivePure Technologies. “In fact, nearly 30 Major League Baseball teams have ActivePure Technology in their facilities including the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas. ActivePure Technology will give Fair Park visitors the peace of mind that the air they are breathing and the surfaces they touch are safe.”</p><p><br></p><p>Fair Park and Cotton Bowl Stadium are managed by Fair Park First and Spectra Venue Management.

(<a href="https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.ppat.1001176" title="2010 Paper here" target="_blank">citation here</a>) <br></li><li>IODINE: This element is inherently antiviral, and we use more of it in the production of peroxides during fever.&nbsp; 12-25mg/day is suggested in acute cases.&nbsp; I personally use liquid &quot;Atomadine&quot; iodine, but also have Lugol's on my shelf.&nbsp; For most people Lugol's is just fine, except those people with autoimmune illness..who should consider Atomadine.&nbsp; Try also to get seaweeds in the diet.&nbsp; <br></li><li>CINCHONA BARK (QUININE) - also is made as a homeopathic with the same indications: very sweaty, hectic fever, like malaria or dengue.&nbsp; Medical reports are suggesting that the synthetic form - chloroquine - is helping.&nbsp; <br></li><li>FEVERFEW: comes as an herbal and as a homeopathic Tanacetum. &nbsp; Blunts a T1-cell response that can be overwhelming in a cytokine storm.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just learned about this effect, and was advised to go easy with it, and maybe save it for when we see the storm starting. <br></li><li>BONESET: also comes as an herbal and a homeopathic called Eupatorium.&nbsp; Specific for bone pains, as the name implies, but also covers flu symptoms with respiratory and digestive involvement.&nbsp; <br></li><li>VEGETABLE AND BONE BROTH SOUPS: When done right, a proper broth is powerfully antiviral and immune stabilizing.&nbsp; Thyme is a well-regarded respiratory herb, oregano is known antimicrobial, garlic also antimicrobial, rosemary...sage...they're all medicinal!&nbsp; <br></li><li>KALI CARB: a homeopathic.&nbsp; What I'm seeing is extreme difficulty breathing, like asthma.&nbsp; When people have indigestion, a bloated gurgly belly maybe, and wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air...give Kali-Carb.&nbsp; The eyelids will be puffy.&nbsp; If this progresses unchecked, and I've seen this: the lips will peel, and then the skin on the hands and feet will peel too (purpurea)...Kali-carb will prevent this.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br></li><li>FERRUM PHOS: helps neutralize the cytokine storm. This remedy is very very valuable in pneumonias, and not only helps with high ferritin levels (doctors are taught to do this blood test to check the inflammation level), it also helps low white blood cells, low red blood cell count and low hemoglobin.&nbsp; Like any homeopathic, it only helps if the person &quot;needs&quot; it, but you'll know they do if their throat is raw at the initiation of the illness, if they're flushed but chilly, weak, and the chest is inflamed. I put this last, so it'd be the last thing you see and hopefully remember: get Ferrum Phos.&nbsp; <br></li></ul></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
