Clean Air is Essential for Health

We can live for a long time without food, quite a while without water, and only minutes without air.

 

Yet we wash our food, filter our water, but seldom think about the air we breathe.

 

Our bodies breathe in chemicals, dust, dander, pollen's and natural toxins, making our immune system work twice as hard.

 

Because children's lungs and air passage-ways are smaller they are more sensitive to air-borne problems.

 

On the Dust page you will begin to appreciate just how important clean air is.

 

We will find a solution that minimizes the dust and improves your air. Just call.

Just How Bad is Our Indoor Air?

A company that designs indoor air monitors, AirAdvice, worked with a network of heating, air conditioning, and air quality professionals to collect and analyze about 1.3 billion air samples from nearly 50,000 homes in the U.S. and Canada between 2004 and 2006. Its survey showed 96.7 per cent of the homes generating an “alert”, that is, a level outside the recommended range for one of: particle allergens (dust, dander and pollen); chemical pollutants; carbon dioxide; temperature; humidity; and carbon monoxide. Eighty-three per cent of the homes had two or more alerts. Of concern for individuals with asthma and allergies: the most common problems were high levels of particle allergens and chemical pollutants.

 

Poor indoor air quality can show up with headaches, respiratory problems, chest pain, chronic colds and flu's, cancer and far more.

 

See if some of these symptoms are reduced when spending more time outdoors and/or by opening windows at least twice a day. Sleep with a window cracked open. More ideally (in terms of energy loss and security) invest in a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) that includes a high quality air filter.  Do check out this article for how to reduce the incidence of indoor air pollution and this one or this one about using plants to reduce some sources of pollution. Or see this brief video about 10 indoor plants that are proven to reduce benzyne (think of smoke), mould, formaldehyde (furniture, laminates and more), trichloroethylene (paint and more) and others.

 

Buying a portable air filter (not one with "ozone") that filters air smaller than 0.3 microns can be a life-saver when a neighbour's fireplace is smoking, or forest fires are burning.

 

Having difficulty breathing? Some pure essential oils may help alleviate symptoms and/or destroy things such as mould. Being able to re-open your air passage-ways is so relieving!

 

So if you filter your water and wash your food, why wouldn't you want to improve the air you breathe?

Residue of popular herbicide likely encourages illness

Glysophate
Glysophate

A chemical and food company wants us to believe that glysophate, a widely-used herbicide, is not only safe -it might be used to treat cancer!

 

How profitable, as it may also increase your risk for cancer.

 

Glysophate is considered to be toxic to animals, including humans. A study by two independent scientists, published in Entropy April 2013, connects the increasingly widespread use of glyphosate with modern diseases because of its "inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals. CYP enzymes play crucial roles in biology, one of which is to detoxify xenobiotics. Thus, glyphosate enhances the damaging effects of other food borne chemical residues and environmental toxins."

 

In other words, it slowly induces disease.

 

"Consequences are most of the diseases and conditions associated with a Western diet, which include gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease."

 

A copy of the whole report can be found under the link GMO's.

 

Conclusion: only eat organically grown food or foods known not to have been sprayed with Round-up Ready herbicide. Consider also helping your cells to repair from this damage by using Asea.

Ending the Junk Food Obsession

Eating healthy

We all know that smoking tobacco is bad for our health. With both public pressure and far higher taxes, smoking is (thankfully) on the decline in Canada.

 

Now we are facing the crushing health effects of junk food and beverages. These are filled with bad fats, sugar, and salt -plus colorants in soft drinks. The results are alarming: rapidly rising rates of obsity, diabetes, heart conditions, cancer, and far more. Our health care system can't keep up. It turns out that a tobacco company is the largest junk food company! Even the most ardent libertarian (who dislikes government intervention in our lives) may have to concede that doing nothing about this epidemic is harming all of us.

 

Thus we may have to do the same thing with junk food and drinks as we did with tobacco: apply social pressure as well as add taxes. We know that banning didn't work with alcohol (and isn't working with street drugs). At least taxing these ills will raise money needed to pay for the freedom to eat and drink ourselves into oblivion. For more information read this Globe & Mail article.
