Health from the inside.......your home!
Tuesday, March 7, 2006
The EPA (environmental protection agency) states there are approx. 12,000 people killed each year by indoor pollution. Most of us including many in the medical profession are ignorant of hazards that come with new materials we have created in the last 30 years, some is profit driven and these industries fight hard to prevent us from knowing the truth. Much information is hidden for years in product testing. Modern convenience is put first and health second.Over 4 million new chemicals have been created since 1915.
The AMA(American medical association) reported that there is a 45% higher incidence of respiratory infection among occupants of new buildings than among those in older dwellings.
Benjamin Franklin noted that, "No common air from without is so unwholesome as the air within a closed room that has been breathed and not exchanged." Clean Air! Ventilation is critical for all types of housing the newer the house the tighter it is less air escapes make it efficient but air then is trapped in the house with nowhere to go
Filtration is essential HEPA(high-efficiency particulate arrestance) filtration was developed by the atomic energy commission to filter out dangerous small particles .
Now to meet the standard a true HEPA filter must remove 99.99 of all particles although expensive these filters usually last 1 to 2 years and remove dust, pollen, mold spores and lead dust if it becomes airborne. The new age of filter to exchange air is the ionic air cleaners
Plants are nature's air filters. Some plants thrive on chemicals that are poisonous to humans. Here is a list of house plants that help remove various toxins.
Aloe vera ๑ removes formaldehyde
English Ivy ๑ removes benzene
Chinese Evergreen- Toluene, benzene
Peace Lily ๑ trichloroethylene
Spider plant ๑ carbon monoxide
Onto - Electro Magnetic Stress we have added unnatural stress with the use of radio, television, satellites, cellular phones, microwaves and computers to name a few.
This stress is a metabolic disruption caused by electromagnetic interference.
Our bodies have their own EMF's (electro magnetic field) and we are constantly interacting with man made EMF's ie.
Electronics, wiring, appliances, computers, microwave and power transmission lines. All these EMF's can cause an increase in production of cancer cells, alterations in behavioral abnormalities, alterations in biological cycles, and can lead to declines in immune system efficiency
Bodily functions most affected are ones which are active at night . Meridians in our body that regulate liver, gallbladder, lungs and large intestines can be stressed and blocked making them unable to do the detoxifing they are meant to do while we are at rest.
Eliminate appliances from the bedroom ie televisions, water bed heaters, electric blankets, clock radios, computers and if they are present get EMF harmonizers on the market that eliminate the harmful EMF's bombarding you while you sleep.
As far as I am concerned, throw out your microwave!
The hazards are just too great the leakage from microwaves is just plain bad
Not to mention the microwave destroys over 85% of nutrients beneficial to your body so you are eating dead food with no nutrient value!
Dr.Sam Koslov has done many studies at the Jon Hopkins University. Exposure of a low dose of continual radiation from a microwave on chimpanzees showed alzheimer's disease not to mention many more diseases ..
Overhead Power lines Studies in 1992 showed an increase of leukemia rate in children living near power lines which concluded that the rate was over 4 times over the normal incidence and in adults it was 2 to 3 times the increase of the cancer.
Computers studies showed that a woman who works at a computer terminal had 3 and a half the times of risk miscarriage there are many aliments that arise from the use of a computer. Lap tops are not to be put on your lap if you feel the heat coming from your laptop, most likely it is EM radiation so limited use for computers is recommended and if used find devices that help to lessen or to harmonize the EMFํs that are emitted while in use.
Cordless phones The higher the Mhrtz the more EMF's that are going into you if you feel the heat from your phone ..you now know why.....land line phones are the best choice even though the convenience would be cordless. Again protect yourself by a harmonizer for your phone it can help protect you.
Microwaves Here is the URL to an article which is about 16 pages long There is too much to say about the harzards and the reasons I believe why you should through out your microwave so I left it to Wayne and Newell with their article on the matter.

Cleaners from Lysol to mr clean not the best choice = I have mentioned it before read the labels and check- HYPERLINK "http://www.drrapp.com/" http://www.drrapp.com/ Her information as a environment Dr is amazing!
Air Exchange! At least once a month better to do as we do once a week open windows shut off the heat do a clean air exchange in your house for an hour .
It will help your house and family stay healthy ึfresh air is a good thing
