James M. Sears, M.D., better known as “Dr. Jim,” is a board-certified pediatrician in family practice in California. He is also the father of two active teens. As co-author of numerous books and co-host of the Emmy Award-winning talk show THE DOCTORS, he aims to “do more than just treat illness. I want to help families make changes for the better.”
At the top of his list of “changes” is preventing the spread of germs through good hand hygiene. Which is where Veripur Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer comes in.
“As a pediatrician and dad, I’m an expert in how little hands—and big ones, too—can carry and spread germs that lead to colds, flu, and other diseases.
“The first line of defense against harmful germs is frequent hand washing—especially when hands are visibly dirty. Using soap and warm water, scrub your hands—including the backs and under the nails—for at least 20 seconds, or as long as it takes to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ twice.
“But what do you do when there isn’t any soap and water available? That’s the time to reach for an antibacterial hand sanitizer. I recommend Veripur because it’s alcohol-free and protects.
"Most people don’t realize that alcohol-based hand sanitizers kill germs for only seconds after applying; once the germ-killing alcohol evaporates the product stops working. But Veripur kills 99.9% of germs and continues to kill germs you touch after applying Veripur. So the Veripur you or the kids use before lunch is still providing protection back in the office or classroom. Not so with other instant hand sanitizers.
“Plus, alcohol-based hand sanitizers dry the skin, causing little cracks that can let germs in. Veripur’s alcohol-free formula is not only non-drying, but moisturizing, providing an extra line of defense against environmental aggressors.
“That’s why I prefer Veripur."
