WARNING BEWARE OF AEROSOLS

both cleaning & personal care products come in aerosol cans, I want to warn you of the dangers of aerosols in your home.

first they send a fine mist of chemicals into the air that"s easily inhaled and absorbed

second this fine mist settles, leaving a coating of toxins on surfaces where children crawl and play and adults eat and sleep

finally many of the propellants used in aerosol cans are toxic themselves, vinyl chloride, one of the most common, can cause dizziness, lack of coordination, headaches, blurred vision, nausea, and DEATH.

P.S. Also these chemical propellants are highly flammable

each year 5,000 people receive emergency room treatment for aerosol-related injuries

Jimmy 8, used a hammer & nail to puncture an old aerosol can. The can exploded hurling pieces of metal into his face and upper chest, cutting him severly.

CALL TO ACTION TIP:

When you weigh the short-term and long term harms of aerosol products, I think the smart conclusion is simply get rid of them.

WHAT’S IN A DIME!

the size of one dime one square centimeter of your skin an area less then the size of a dime, contains

3 million cells

4 yards of nerves

1 yd. of blood vessels, and 1 hundred sweat glands

 

We have all heard the ads for nicotine patches and analgesic creams. These medicines work by being absorbed into the blood stream through the skin. Even some heart meds. Are administered through trans dermal ( through the skin) patches. Any chemical that touches the skin can be absorbed and spread throughout the body. This can even happen when you come in contact with a surface that was treated with a chemical days or even weeks earlier. I had no idea that my grandchildren could be harmed by crawling across the kitchen floor I had just cleaned, I thought I was being conscientious,not reckless. Since we no longer have harmful chemicals in our home, I worry no longer about them crawling on the floor or putting their fingers in their mouth know there is no longer any toxic residues there.

Is this the world of your children or pets?

Call To Action Tip:

Start To Detoxify your home

Stop using Mr. Clean Magic Sponge

Stop using air fresheners/ Fe breeze etc.

Do not use any premixed agent to mop your floor (Swiffer solution)

p.s. will share a list of easy alternatives at  another time.

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself--Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
    The carpenter I hired to help me resore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat  in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.
    When  opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss. Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
    " Oh , that's my trouble tree" he replied. " I know I can't help having troubles on the job , but one thing for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home. then in the morning I pick them up again.
   " Funny thing is " he smiled "when I come out in the morning to pick' em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
 
Thought this was worth sharing, what works for you?
 

 

 

 

 

We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven’t got a clue as to where thousands of terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in CHARGE of immigration.
