Detox This Home








Ever wonder why there has been a massive influx in the diagnosis of asthma, allergies, autism, ADHD, fibroid tumors, endometriosis, infertility, numerous cancers, diseases, and illnesses.   The diagnosis' keep coming, but the cause and genuine explanation as to why is stated, "TO BE CONTINUED." 


Perhaps, it's true that our bodies are continuously being exposed (overexposed) to chemicals and toxic matters that we cannot begin to even fathom an accurate count.  It's been proven that a baby will be exposed to numerous toxins, only hours of exiting the mother's womb.  Truth, even the "safe" breast milk is contaminated with chemicals and unknown toxins.  You are basically exposed to toxins simply by existing.


We would love to believe that if a product or food is placed on the market for the consumer, it must be safe.  Fact, the American Chemical Society and the FDA have very few restrictions on how they decide if a product is safe.  It is unfortunate, but the consumer is basically left in charge to fend for themselves.  Try to decipher what's good, and what's bad- there's no law in place that says, a manufacturer must clearly label, "Beware, this item is contaminated," across their package.  So beware.

It's left up to the consumer to decide, which is nearly impossible if the item is not clearly labeled.  But, there are additional steps you can take to detox your home, by making changes in products that are in fact clearly labeled, "Beware, this item is contaminated with chemicals/toxins."


A few examples include:
Toss the chemicals in your laundry room, bathroom, and kitchen. Toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, toxic cleaning products, scented candles, etc.  The makeup, lotion, soaps you apply to your body are working on your body, externally as well as internally. 

Also the items that accumulate dust, or may be difficult to clean should be removed as well, or switched out and cared for often (sheets, comforters, pillows, mattresses, heavy curtains). These items should be purchased routinely and preferably purchased from eco-friendly manufacturers.

Lastly, toss the junk and unwanted belongings, as they do a major job of harboring dustmites and chemicals as well.  If you have not touched an item in the past six months, and don't have intentions of touching it withnin the next 90 days, remove it.
