I was watching an Earth Day Episode from the Oprah Winfrey show where she featured a couple of guests and tips. The one portion of the show that caught my attention was the story of a boy named Spencer, who could be between 3-5 years of age. A normal healthy kid, he had suddenly been struggling with a respiratory illness. His parents brought him to the
Emergency ward and they were asked to leave him there as the doctors needed to do a diagnosis. What they came up shocked his parents. He had asthma.
The mother of the Spencer couldn't believe it. She and her husband did their research of both sides of the family and couldn't find one trace of asthma in their tree. So they ruled out the possibility that it was genetic. Their second part of their research was what he might have ate, or if there was anything external. According to the doctor, when asked, it turned out that SPencer had a couple of toxins in his bloodstream and respiratory system.
The doctor concluded that these toxins were the same kind that are used in Bathroom, Kitchen, Window, oven cleaners. The parents were shocked. So they started on their quest to find healthier counterparts to the toxic products that they had in their home. They later found the products they needed and got rid of all the toxic counterparts.
When Spencer came home, that would be the last time he would have to visit the hospital for now (he hasn't visited it since his parents switched brands.) It would also be the first time that he would not have to use a Ventolin inhaler (for asthma sufferers) and the beginning of a healthy lifestyle.
The marketplace is full of products that are called "Lying Cleaners", where they mention phrases such as "April fresh scent" or "Lemon Fresh Scent", "Non-Static Cling", "clean windows as clear as day" and so forth. These products are supposed to clean or handle the jobs that we put them through, yet, is it ever clean? If clean means tackling a job and leaving something dangerous behind, then we have to change the definition of clean. I just said that sarcastically.
A Cleaner's job is to take on the task of removing what is dirty or harmful - period. But store-bought cleaners are not actually cleaners, are they?
Nature's natural cleaner is water. Before the INdustrial age came around, water was just about as clean as clean could get. It had no toxins (unlike today), and even if we used it as bath or toilet water like back in the agrarian age, it was still clean because it also provided an environment for natural enzymes to help clean the water.
So why do we all have these toxic cleaners? One reason is because we have all these complex things. The other is the possibility of an economic controversy as well. If people do not get sick, there is no business. Think about it.
Since the Industrial Age, Cancer and complex illnesses are at an all-time high. Salmonella has been around forever, yet we hear about it as a super-bug. Why? Because our immune systems are depleting. How? A large portion of it has to do with environment; the other is what we're putting in our mouth.
THere is a saying that if the environment is not healthy, we won't be healthy either. How is that possible? We all need to eat and drink. Yet, if we pollute our atmosphere and environment, all of those toxins find their way into our vegetation, our water, even our meat (the livestock will eat that same vegetation in the same atmosphere.)
So what can we do to clean our homes and still keep it and the environment healthy as possible? Plenty and here's some economical ways too..
First of all, consider cleaners that biodegrade within less than 7 days. Many on the market do not have this capability. The cleaners must be friendly to your health and to the environment. There are a couple of brands that were featured on the Oprah show that are super effective and also economical, just click on my link at the end of this article to find out more on how you can get them.
Secondly, consider purifying your tap water, which is contaminated when it goes through your pipeline. You don't want to have those extra toxins right?
An air purifyer is very important if you'd like to get that bio-toxic mold off your walls. If you use bleach, it would kill it in the short term, but your health is affected. When the mold comes back, your immune system will be so low that you won't be able to shake off it's effects.
For Cleaning Ovens, consider a product that uses volcanic ash in a paste form. This is much safer and has no corrosive or poisonous airborne chemicals.
If you're really concerned about the safety of your home in terms of its environment, it's worth looking into a taking action. Do your due diligence and learn as much as you can. You don't want to wake up one morning to learn that you can't breathe well!
Do it now!
