Eliminate Mold Safely, Effectively, Permanently

Science has confirmed the powerful therapeutic secrets of essential oils. Thanks to a Breakthrough Scientific Discovery -- You Can Prevent and Eliminate Toxic Mold In as Little as 24 Hours Using Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils.

Two independent studies by Harvard and Johns Hopkins confirmed that more than 50% of the homes in North America have mold resulting from leaks and water damage, and that where mold is present there was a 50% to 100% increase in respiratory problems.

Fungi can cause health problems to both humans and animals by several different biological mechanisms: infections, allergenic or hypersensitivity reactions, irritant reactions, toxic reactions, and in certain cases they can even cause death. In fact there were 16 infants who died in

an area near Cleveland, Ohio, and the only commonality found among the cases was that all the houses where the infants had lived contained high levels of a toxic mold.

According University of Connecticut Health Center report , 2004, the following is a summary of symptoms that have been found to result from exposure to mold and toxic molds:

Allergies, asthma, lung problems, cancer, central nervous system problems, recurring colds, dandruff problems (chronic), skin problems, eye and vision problems, fatigue (chronic), flu symptoms (chronic), general malaise, sudden hair loss, headaches, hives, irritability, itching (of the nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin or other areas), kidney failure, learning difficulties, mental dysfunction,

personality changes, peripheral nervous system effects, seizures, chronic sinus congestion, tremors, verbal dysfunction, and vomiting.

Bedwetting issues

My son is 9 years old and still wets the bed. What can I do to help him?

Bedwetting is often related to food allergies like dairy and wheat.
Often eliminating these foods, as well as refined sugar, which often create the problem of low blood sugar at night, will end the bedwetting problem.
Allergens act as irritants to the bladder and low blood sugar, which can happen if you eat simple carbo-hydrates like sweets before bed, can set the stage for bedwetting by keeping the brain from getting the signals through properly. Low blood sugar equals inadequate brain function. No sweets before bed. Protein snacks are much preferred.

A lot of bedwetting issues is related to emotions. Try some essential oils that have to do with emotional release such as Acceptance, Joy, Valor, Harmony, Release and/or Peace and Calming.

Lastly chiropractor and acupuncture can work to open the channels between the nerves and the brain

Does Your Skin Care Product Contain These Chemicals?

Potential toxins used in the name of beauty – not a fair trade….

Why don’t you run and get a bottle of any of the skin moisturizers that you are currently using. You might find that your personal care products contain one or probably more of many possibly dangerous ingredients.

Here are a few of the most common suspicious ingredients:

Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum Petroleum products that coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatologic issues. Slows cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer. Disruptive of hormonal activity. By the way, when there’s an oil spill in the ocean, don’t they rush to clean it up – fast? Why put that stuff on your skin?

Parabens – Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.

Phenol carbolic acidFound in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.

Propylene glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, and may inhibit skin cell growth or cause skin irritation.

AcrylamideFound in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.

Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), -- Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived”.

Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.

DioxaneFound in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin.
Dioxane’s carcinogenicity
was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”. Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”.

So, do you want to put these chemicals on your skin? Hopefully not...

You’d be better served by switching to skin care products made of plant names you recognize, can pronounce, and could even eat (if you had to).
