Poisens in your home  

I recieve information daily from my upline because my biz is a green company. I just want to pass this on. It may help you all.

The CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) reports
that houses today are so energy efficient that "out-gassing"
of chemicals has no where to go, so it builds up inside the
home. We spend 90% of our time indoors, and 65% of that time
at home. Moms, infants and the elderly spend 90% of their
time in the home. Our homes should have a complete change of
air 3 or 4 times a day. We should leave our windows open on
each side of our house for better cross ventilation. New
homes are built so airtight that it is impossible to get a
complete change of air.

In Alberta last year accidental poisoning statistics were
as follows:
Between the ages of:
* 0 - 4 years - 11, 515 poisonings
* 5 - 10 years - 1,524
* 11 - 19 years 1,019
* 20 and over 7,799

The top three culprits according to Poison Control: household
cleaners, bleach, and medications. In the USA the #1 cause of
accidental poisoning is Dawn Dishwashing Detergent (c). WHY?
Because it is the #1 seller. Tide contains Lye and is the #1
polluter. It is also the #1 seller.

Inert (or inactive) ingredients in products are protected by
trade secrets and very dangerous. In the work place Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must accompany any product used.
The work place and the outdoors are considered "legal
environments" while the air in homes is not. So regulations
for outdoor air pollution and toxins

in the workplace are much more strict than in the home.

The ideal humidity rate is 35-45%. Higher rates cause mold.
Use of humidifiers and dehumidifiers with standing water
encourages mold growth in the water. The ideal temperature
for homes is 68-72 degrees. Higher temperatures make
chemicals more active. When we shower, the hot water aerates
the chlorine and can cause headaches, as can the use of
aerosols. Steam from our dryer vents is extremely toxic from
the chemicals in fabric softener sheets and residues from
detergents and bleach.

Chemicals used to dry clean clothing are very dangerous and
can cause cancer. When you bring dry cleaning home you
should hang it outside for at least 3 days. The same
chemicals are in mothballs.

Deep Woods and Off have an ingredient called DEET.
DEET causes seizures in children and adults. There are
4700 chemicals in tobacco smoke.

Formaldehyde is one of the largest indoor pollutants in our
homes. Products containing Formaldehyde include: *
Antiperspirants * Mouthwash * Toothpaste * Tupperware *
Permanent Press clothing * Floor waxes and furniture polishes *
Baggies * Coffee * Wax Paper * Paper Money

Symptoms caused by formaldehyde are: * Allergies, cancer,
immune system failings, and asthma

Phenols are a major indoor pollutant. Phenols are absorbed
by lungs, and skin. Symptoms include caustic burns, kidney
and liver damage and hyperactivity. Products containing
Phenols include:
* Acne medications * Baking Powder * PC's * TV sets *
Mouthwash * Sugar subs * Wallpaper

Do you think the major products are safe? WRONG! Lysol (c)
is even more dangerous than we thought. It contains phenols
and dioxin (Agent Orange). Bleach must be safe because
people have been using it for years, right? WRONG! When
using bleach, antiseptics or chlorine in industrial areas
you are required by OSHA to wear impervious protective
clothing, hard hats, boots, gloves, apron or coveralls,
chemical goggles or full face shield and use only in well
ventilated areas.

When using Easy Off (c) make sure all your skin is covered,
wear protective clothing, do not breath in and don't get on
your enamel, (if this product will hurt the enamel on your
stove, can you imagine what it will do to us?).

NTAs were banned in 1970. Lobbying by Proctor & Gamble in
1980 put them back into home products although they are
extremely cancer causing. What are they for? ONLY to make
more suds in detergents to make you think your clothes are
getting cleaner.

Our immune system is very powerful, like a janitorial system.
Giving our bodies good nutrition means our body can repair
itself and be able to handle what we face in the world.
Household chemicals cause all kinds of symptoms - from
cardiovascular problems, panic attacks, and anxiety attacks
to bedwetting.

Eliminating the cause of the environmental illness is more
effective and much less expensive than treating the symptoms.
Prevention - 80% - 90% effective. Treatments - 50% - 60%
effective. What seems to make the most sense? How can you
find help?
