Based on being IN DC then I would say your average cost for EVERYTHING it is worth having the utilities included. I did a year in a Apt and the deposit $300 was annoying. Then the cost was around $150 a month averaged out. It completely depends on WHERE in DC you live. I lived in what was considered a cheap studio in Dupont and it was $1050/mo, utilities included. After that I lived in a one bedroom in Logan Circle that was $2150/mo plus about $300/mo in utilities.
For allergies: Quercetin combined with Vitamin C, and nettle tea.....all three have anti-allergenic (anti-histamine) properties. For microbes....you don't need colloidal silver.

Now, I just take Grapefruit seed extract in water every few days to keep the candida at bay. It is very effective at eliminating candida after it has set in as well, but you should take a diuretic to get the dead candida out of you. For candida, take 5-6 drops of GSE in 20oz of water.
