O.K., I posted this question about 2 weeks ago. I am having TERRIBLE problems with my new apt., new carpet outgassing odor. I have not been able to get my Beanie because of it - not to mention the fact that I AM SICK.

I have done a TON of research since then. I can "seal" the carpet - doesn't make sense because that lays down more chemicals, I can use this stuff called Zeolite, but that is only a band aid, or I can buy this REALLY expensive air purifier called Austin Air Healthmate Plus. It costs almost $700 but I found one on Amazon for around $450.

It SAYS that it captures and gets rid of outgassing carpets and all kinds of other odors and CRAP that is in my new place, including the CRAP that is coming out of the baseboard heating. It is used by the military to get rid of really bad chemicals, and it is used in hospitals, etc. There is no ozone that is emitted, which apparently ozone is really bad.

My question is, have any of you guys heard of this air purifier and if so, does it work? I don't care if I have to spend the money, I NEED to make my house non-toxic. I am more worried about the dog than me, but I also realize that is pretty stupid, because I HAVE TO BE HEALTHY to take care of her and I can't GET her until that happens.

I am really sensitive to chemicals, etc., but I have NEVER experienced what I am dealing with. I moved here because I THOUGHT it was so much better and more condusive for having my dog, but now I am dealing with all this CRAP (I totally cleaned the word up) and I am feeling so guilty that I made the wrong decision

I feel like I am in the freakin Twilight Zone of toxicity and I can't get away from it and can't get my baby who is just getting older and older. Thank God, the breeder is willing to keep her until I can figure it all out. BUT I WANT MY DOG.

Any help, opinions, rah rah stuff again, will be MUCH appreciated. Thanks, Susan
