What is Mitigation?

Mitigation involves a range of activities that are implemented to lessen the impacts that disasters have on people’s lives and property through hazard avoidance, damage prevention or control, and insurance.

Depending on the location in Florida, the wind portion of a homeowner's insurance premium may be anywhere from 15% to 79% of the total premium! Hurricane Strap Mitigation can save you a significant amount on your premiums, as well as adding an extra layer or protection to your home.

Benefect Botanical Disinfection Technology

IT'S ABOUT THYME!™
Have you ever worried about the antimicrobial products that you use? Sure they do the job but are they toxic? Are they suitable for use around children, pets, the chemically-sensitive or the elderly? Are they environmentally responsible & sustainable?

Benefect Botanical Disinfectant technology is the answer to these questions. It's About Thyme.™

Benefect Corp. is a world recognized leader in next- generation botanical antimicrobial technology. Our Active Ingredient is our highly specialized Thyme Oil that has been specially grown & blended to our exacting specifications which we have been advancing for almost 10 years now. Today, we are the largest purchaser of thyme oil in the world.

How can a disinfectant be less toxic than vinegar?

In nature, plants produce germ-killing 'essential oils' to protect themselves from invading microbes, similar to how our bodies produce antibodies for our protection. Benefect is a revolutionary blend of these antimicrobial extracts, particularly from the herb Thyme, and achieves remarkable efficacy ...without using any traditional synthetic chemicals.

To put it simply, Benefect is a 'plant immune system' in a bottle.

Over 5,000 years of history shows that microbes do not build up a tolerance or resistance to the antimicrobial action of essential oils. The concentrations of essential oils required to kill microbes have not changed during this entire period. On the other hand, current germ killing practices have lead to highly resistant organisms, which require stronger, more toxic chemicals and increasingly complicated disinfecting procedures...in just 60 years.

Benefect's groundbreaking botanical technology is proven to kill over 99.99% of bacteria & surpasses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's efficacy requirements for broad spectrum hospital disinfectants.

We have all seen the recent media coverage on 'superbugs' or germs that are now resistant to our strongest antibiotics. If this trend continues and if the way we control germs isn't improved, infections that were once considered minor may become fatal. The time for change is now & Benefect is the sensible alternative.

The Benefect formula is patented worldwide.

Adverse Health Effects from Mold

A lot of people end up treating the symptoms of mold exposure and never get to the root of the problem. Oftentimes, they don't even make the connection that mold is the cause of their problems… and neither does their physician. According to mycotoxin expert Dr. Harriet Ammann,11 exposure to indoor molds can damage the systems of your body in the following ways:

Vascular: blood vessel fragility, hemorrhage from tissues or lungs Digestive: diarrhea, vomiting, hemorrhage, liver damage, fibrosis, and necrosis
Respiratory: trouble breathing, bleeding from lungs Neurological: tremors, loss of coordination, headaches, depression,12 multiple sclerosis
Skin: rashes, burning, sloughing, photosensitivity Urinary: kidney toxicity
Reproductive: infertility, changes in reproductive cycles Immune: Immunosuppression

One of the challenges of diagnosing a mold allergy is that reactions are so variable from one person to another. Some people start having memory problems, while others may experience sudden changes in disposition, such as agitation, anger, panic, or depression. Headaches are common but don't affect everyone exposed to mold.

Common symptoms are:

Coughing and wheezing
Sinus problems and post-nasal drip
Itchy rashes
Joint pain

Mold, a type of fungus growing in your home, can produce dangerous mycotoxins that can make you extremely sick or even kill you.
