I have made up my mind, that’s the way it is.

Posted on by

I have decided to help people to be aware of deadly chemicals that can hurt you very badly if you don’t eliminate it…

I have made up my mind, that’s the way it is. When  I have started this website, I have something very strong in my mind. I have decided to help people to be aware of the chemicals and the way we treat our planet. During this process, I confess that I was very close to give up. It’s just that you end up being struck by people that do not have a clue about anything and are more like to make sure no one will. Some people are afraid of changes and even knowing that is very good, they prefer to leave it the way it is, which could be very bad for them!

Some people rather leave things the way they are. They don’t want to get off their comfort zone. Any change can alter what they have now.  A change could disturb everything that is known to them. We can be sure that in this case, change is for much better. Chemicals in our everyday life are very dangerous. You would be very surprised at the number of diseases that you get only using the products for Personal Care and Home Care.  It’s really much wider than that. The implications for your body and mind are huge!

I really think from time to time how wonderful it would have been if I have had found out about these threatening chemicals over 20 years ago. But, I can’t dwell on that. We always have to move forward…

A long time ago I have really wished that I have someone with a good heart to land in my complicated life and take me by the hand and give me at least a little, tiny clue at what specifically was going on? Maybe at that time, I wouldn’t believe in their claim. It does sound like a conspiracy theory, coming out of a sci-fi movie or book. That was armed against to me, my baby to be and everything else under the sun. Maybe if I haven’t gone through what I went through, I would believe it neither. The fact is, it’s scientifically proven that the way they are introducing all these pesticides, men made chemicals, etc… We have no chance to have a healthy life no matter how much we trust to stay away from all these deadly chemicals.

It’s very important to know the ingredients in the products that you are using also in your garden, garage, yard, etc…

We need not only take care of what is coming to our beloved home and around us, but, try to make sure we know what we can do to help Nature around us. watch all the products that are at your home, Knowing their ingredients.

Being a part of a community it is also very crucial. Helping each other on finding out the healthiest way to shop and go about finding ways to live healthily.

When you are young one thinks that he is invulnerable. Maybe if I haven’t gone through what I went through, I would believe it neither. The fact is, it’s scientifically proven that the way they are introducing all these pesticides, men made chemicals, etc,… We have no chance to have a healthy life no matter how much we trust to be away from all these deadly chemicals.

 

If you think the way they take care of the environment it’s very irresponsible.

Having chemical in our environment is a huge reality, let me spell it in capital letters, REALITY! It’s no way that they can deny it. Now the fact that they are invading our home, without even being invited is totally out of control. The FDA, the EPA, etc… Are not doing their jobs right, definitely. So just recently, they banned the “triclosan” from hand soap. Now, you can still use it on toothpaste. Does that make any sense to you? Is it ok to use in your mouth? So, let’s face it. We have to take the matter into our own hands.

Please, are you going to sit down and wait that the FDA and other divisions that are supposed to protect you do their jobs? The profit that are exchanging hands speak louder than your son or daughter, or your father, or your spouse? This is the reason we have to try and get information and fight for our rights and don’t expect anyone to do that for you! Take our health in our hands and get informed,

BE YOUR OWN HEALTH ADVOCATE.

Every time that you find out that something is wrong. The possibility is, you are right. Something is wrong. Period. You can most definitely rely on your instincts, much more than rely on the doing of their job! It’s very important that you don’t rely on them to make any decisions about what you eat, use in your home, and anything else that is involved with your well being.

Some people take so many prescriptions drugs that I can’t believe that is not hurting them…

Black Panther

I know at least 3 people that are taking over 23 different prescription medication. Do I keep thinking, how can a person put so many chemicals into their body? That is, with no doubt in my mind, crazy! And on the top of it, this person still have issues with pain and other complaints that tell you that the 23 different medications are not helping the poor individual. I just can’t accept that a Doctor that under oath, have sworn to take care of that patient no matter what, are prescribing so much medication like that. No one sees that something is wrong with that. Now, you need an Ultrasound or an MRI, they will investigate to make sure you do need a test. It’s all about the cost. But, it is ok to take 23 different medications. What is going on here?

Huge prices for prescriptions that you have paid for the research, unbelievable!

Today I have signed a petition to help bring down the price of life-threatening prescriptions drugs. Some people have to make a choice between buying the medication or put food on the table. Guess who paid for the research that finalized with the development of the said medication? We did, the same people that now have to make a choice between food on the table or the life-saving drug. So, they use the taxpayer individual money to pay for the research to get to the final product and they charge you absurd amounts of money for the medication that would cost your life. How about that for a punch in your stomach.

Enough is enough.

Signed a Petition. You have to take the information to the people that can help.

Every time that I see a person turn and start to shop organic, non-toxic. Either the ones that DIY kind people. Something in my heart change. I feel a Victory. I feel so good for that person, her or his family happy, healthy, is such a huge accomplishment. I can feel in my gut that Nature is smiling on us. Saying thank you with a mouth full of satisfaction. This planet is beautiful. When I look at all the sites in Nature. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I feel at peace. It’s the kind of feeling that goes all through my body and soul.  I realize I am actually happy!

I want to thank you and wish all the blessings to you and loved ones. You have any comments, any suggestions, I will be more than happy to know what you have on your mind… Please, let me know.

God be with you, always!

Natural Approach, Healthy Goal

Natural Approach, Healthy Goal

My Goal When I first start to think about having Natural Approach

When I first start to think about having this website I have one thing that was in my mind the whole time, the experience that I have had many years ago. When you are living a situation that things are going bad day by day, and finally you are not in the situation any longer and you look at the past, the hard and difficult times, it seems that it didn’t happen to you. The pain is gone, all the things that used to bother you, are no longer a threat, it looks like it has happened to someone else, indeed. It still, you, one way or the other, that went through that hard time, you have to remember because if you want to take that at face value, using that experience to learn and help anyone else to prevent it from happening to them, you have to remember, even if it is hard for you to cope with it again, to live it all over again in order for you to give someone that experience, to testify that in awareness to everyone else on the planet. We assume that the products that we use in our home for cleaning and do anything else, like to improve the place we live, are harmless, think again. They are not harmless, on the contrary, they are deadly. Most of the popular household cleaners are very dangerously toxic. You hear a lot of stories about diseases that people get from contacting toxic chemicals that are very bad for your health.

There are no Federal Regulations of chemicals in household products. Rebecca /Sutton, Ph.D., a senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), explains, “In terms of household cleaners,  neither ingredients nor products must meet any sort of safety standards, nor is any testing data or notification required before we bringing a product to market. The average household contains about 62 toxic chemicals, say, environmental experts. We are exposed to them routinely. From the phthalates in synthetic fragrances to the noxious fumes in oven cleaners. Ingredients in common household products have been linked to asthma, cancer, reproductive disorders, hormone disruption, and neurotoxicity. We can’t stop exposure to toxic chemicals altogether, but we can reduce it if we want to. We can change the products that we use and use a better and safe product that is made without chemicals. We can also use products that we make at home, like DIY works, and are definitely non-toxic and it will take care of the problem. Either way, the choice between one or another depending on the availability of time, whatever suits the household, it will eliminate the use of the ones that are so harmful to you and your beloved family. You can also share this article and bring awareness about the use of toxic products to your friends and acquaintances. Why not?

 

 

I did a lot of research. The solution for the problem was plain and simple, changing the way you live your life, your surroundings, etc… Take a look at under your sink in the bathrooms, take a look at under the sink in the kitchen, bedrooms, and everywhere in your garage also. Now, read the ingredients in the products that you use almost every day. Sometimes only a couple of times a month, they are harsh enough to hurt. I know that you think that the institutions that are in the government are supposed to watch all this stuff. Not really. They don’t. There are a lot of high interests involved and the ball will roll to the camp that pays better. I know that for a lot of people it is hard to believe that these organs are doing such a thing. Check out for yourself and after that tell me about it… Down are 8 Hidden Toxins: What’s Lurking in Your Cleaning Products, by Jessie Sholl/October 2011:

Botanical Garden Augsburg Water Lily

1. Phthalates

Found in: Many fragranced household products, such as air fresheners, dish soap, even toilet paper. Because of proprietary laws, companies don’t have to disclose what’s in their scents, so you won’t find phthalates on a label. If you see the word “fragrance” on a label, there’s a good chance phthalate are present. Health Risks: Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors. Men with higher phthalate compounds in their blood had correspondingly reduced sperm counts, according to a 2003 study conducted by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Harvard School of Public Health. Although exposure to phthalates mainly occurs through inhalation, it can also happen through skin contact with scented soaps, which is a significant problem, warns Alicia Stanton, MD, coauthor of Hormone Harmony (Healthy Life Library, 2009). Unlike the digestive system, the skin has no safeguards against toxins. Absorbed chemicals go straight to organs. Healthier Choice: When possible choose fragrance-free or all-natural organic products. Greer recommends bypassing aerosol or plug-in air fresheners and instead of using essential oils or simply opening windows to freshen the air. Besides causing more serious effects like endocrine disruption, “Aerosol sprays and air fresheners can be a migraine and asthma triggers,” she says. Also, consider adding more plants to your home: They’re natural air detoxifiers.

2. Perchloroethylene or “PERC”

Found in: Dry-cleaning solutions, spot removers, and carpet and upholstery cleaners. Health Risks: Perc is a neurotoxin, according to the chief scientist of environmental protection for the New York Attorney General’s office. And the EPA classifies perc as a “possible carcinogen” as well. People who live in residential buildings where dry cleaners are located have reported dizziness, loss of coordination, and other symptoms. While the EPA has ordered a phase-out of perc machines in residential buildings by 2020, California is going even further and plans to eliminate all use of perc by 2023 because of its suspected health risks. The route of exposure is most often inhalation: that telltale smell on clothes when they return from the dry cleaner, or the fumes that linger after cleaning carpets. Healthier Choice: Curtains, drapes, and clothes that are labeled “dry clean only” can be taken instead to a “wet cleaner,” which uses water-based technology rather than chemical solvents. The EPA recently recognized liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) as an environmentally preferable alternative to more toxic dry-cleaning solvents. Ask your dry cleaner which method they use. For a safer spot remover, look for a nontoxic brand like Ecover at a natural market, or rub undiluted castile soap directly on stains before washing.

3. Triclosan

Found in: Most liquid dishwashing detergents and hand soaps labeled “antibacterial.” Health Risks: Triclosan is an aggressive antibacterial agent that can promote the growth of drug-resistant bacteria. Explains Sutton: “The American Medical Association has found no evidence that these antimicrobials make us healthier or safer, and they’re particularly concerned because they don’t want us overusing antibacterial chemicals — that’s how microbes develop resistance, and not just to these [household antibacterials], but also to real antibiotics that we need.” Other studies have now found dangerous concentrations of triclosan in rivers and streams, where it is toxic to algae. The EPA is currently investigating whether triclosan may also disrupt the endocrine (hormonal) function. It is a probable carcinogen. At press time, the agency was reviewing the safety of triclosan in consumer products. Healthier Choice: Use simple detergents and soaps with short ingredient lists, and avoid antibacterial products with triclosan for home use. If you’re hooked on hand sanitizer, choose one that is alcohol-based and without triclosan.

4. Quarternary Ammonium Compounds, or “QUATS”

Found in: Fabric softener liquids and sheets, most household cleaners labeled “antibacterial.” Health Risks: Quats are another type of antimicrobial, and thus pose the same problem as triclosan by helping breed antibiotic-resistant bacteria. They’re also a skin irritant; one 10-year study of contact dermatitis found quats to be one of the leading causes. According to Sutton, they’re also suspected as a culprit for respiratory disorders: “There’s evidence that even healthy people who are [exposed to quats] on a regular basis develop asthma as a result.” Healthier Choice: You don’t really need fabric softener or dryer sheets to soften clothes or get rid of static: Simple vinegar works just as well. “Vinegar is the natural fabric softener of choice for many reasons,” explains Karyn Siegel-Maier in her book The Naturally Clean Home (Storey Publishing, 2008). “Not only is it nontoxic, it also removes soap residue in the rinse cycle and helps to prevent static cling in the dryer.” White vinegar is your best choice for general cleaning; other types can stain. Alternatives to chemical disinfectants abound, including antibacterial, antifungal tea-tree oil. Mix a few drops of tea-tree oil and a tablespoon of vinegar with water in a spray bottle for a safe, germ-killing, all-purpose cleaner. Add a couple of drops of lavender essential oil for scent.

5. 2-Butoxyethanol

Found in: Window, kitchen, and multipurpose cleaners. Health Risks: 2-butoxyethanol is the key ingredient in many window cleaners and gives them their characteristic sweet smell. It belongs in the category of “glycol ethers,” a set of powerful solvents that don’t mess around. Law does not require 2-butoxyethanol to be listed on a product’s label. According to the EPA’s Web site, in addition to causing sore throats when inhaled, at high levels glycol ethers can also contribute to narcosis, pulmonary edema, and severe liver and kidney damage. Although the EPA sets a standard on 2-butoxyethanol for workplace safety, Sutton warns, “If you’re cleaning at home in a confined area, like an unventilated bathroom, you can actually end up getting 2-butoxyethanol in the air at levels that are higher than workplace safety standards.” Healthier Choice: Clean mirrors and windows with newspaper and diluted vinegar. For other kitchen tasks, stick to simple cleaning compounds like Bon Ami powder; it’s made from natural ingredients like ground feldspar and baking soda without the added bleach or fragrances found in most commercial cleaners. You can also make your own formulas with baking soda, vinegar, and essential oils. See the “DIY Cleaners” sidebar for a list of clean concoctions.

6. Ammonia

Found in: Polishing agents for bathroom fixtures, sinks, and jewelry; also in glass cleaner. Health Risks: Because ammonia evaporates and doesn’t leave streaks, it’s another common ingredient in commercial window cleaners. That sparkle has a price. “Ammonia is a powerful irritant,” says Donna Kasuska, a chemical engineer and president of ChemConscious, Inc., a risk-management consulting company. “It’s going to affect you right away. The people who will be really affected are those who have asthma, and elderly people with lung issues and breathing problems. It’s almost always inhaled. People who get a lot of ammonia exposure, like housekeepers, will often develop chronic bronchitis and asthma.” Ammonia can also create a poisonous gas if it’s mixed with bleach. Healthier Choice: Vodka. “It will produce a reflective shine on any metal or mirrored surface,” explains Lori Dennis, author of Green Interior Design (Allsworth Press, 2010). And toothpaste makes an outstanding silver polish.

7. Chlorine

Found in: Scouring powders, toilet bowl cleaners, mildew removers, laundry whiteners, household tap water. Health Risks: “With chlorine, we have so many avenues of exposure,” says Kasuska. “You’re getting exposed through fumes and possibly through the skin when you clean with it, but because it’s also in city water to get rid of bacteria, you’re also getting exposed when you take a shower or bath. The health risks from chlorine can be acute, and they can be chronic; it’s a respiratory irritant at an acute level. But the chronic effects are what people don’t realize: It may be a serious thyroid disrupter.” Healthier Choice: For scrubbing, stick to Bon Ami or baking soda. Toilet bowls can be cleaned with vinegar, and vinegar or borax powder both work well for whitening clothes. So does the chlorine-free oxygen bleach powder made by Biokleen? To reduce your exposure to chlorine through tap water, install filters on your kitchen sink and in the shower.

8. Sodium Hydroxide

Found in: Oven cleaners and drain openers. Health Risks: Otherwise known as lye, sodium hydroxide is extremely corrosive: If it touches your skin or gets in your eyes, it can cause severe burns. Routes of exposure are skin contact and inhalation. Inhaling sodium hydroxide can cause a sore throat that lasts for days. Healthier Choice: You can clean the grimiest oven with baking-soda paste — it just takes a little more time and elbow grease (see recipes in “DIY Cleaners” sidebar). Unclog drains with a mechanical “snake” tool, or try this approach from the Green Living Ideas Website: Pour a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar down the drain and plug it for 30 minutes. After the bubbles die down, run hot water down the drain to clear the debris.

Beware of Greenwashing

If a cleaning product at your supermarket proclaims itself “green,” “natural” or “biodegradable,” that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s nontoxic. In 2010 the environmental consulting firm TerraChoice Group produced a report called “The Sins of Greenwashing.” In it the group found more than 95 percent of so-called green consumer products had committed at least one “greenwashing sin,” like making an environmental claim that may be truthful but unimportant. “CFC-free,” for example, is a common one, since CFCs are banned by law. Donna Kasuska of ChemConscious offers this advice: “When gauging ecological claims, look for specifics. ‘Biodegradable in three to five days’ holds more meaning than ‘biodegradable,’ as most substances will eventually break down with enough time.”

DIY Cleaners

Clean your home safely — and cheaply — with the following recipes: • Basic sink cleanser — Combine ½ cup baking soda with six drops essential oil (such as lavender, rosemary, lemon, lime or orange). Rinse sink well with hot water. Sprinkle combination into the sink and pour ¼ cup vinegar over top. After the fizz settles, scrub with a damp sponge or cloth. Rinse again with hot water. (From The Naturally Clean Home, by Karyn Siegel-Maier.) • Oven cleanser — Put a heatproof dish filled with water in the oven. Turn on the heat to let the steam soften any baked-on grease. Once the oven is cool, apply a paste of equal parts salt, baking soda, and vinegar, and scrub. (From Super Natural Home, by Beth Greer.) • Bathroom mildew remover — Good ventilation helps prevent mildew and mold. When they do occur, make a spray with 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon each of tea-tree and lavender oil. Shake first and spray on trouble spots. The oils break down the mildew so there’s no need to wipe it down. (From Green Interior Design, by Lori Dennis.) • Carpet shampoo — Mix 3 cups water, ¾ cup vegetable-based liquid soap, and 10 drops peppermint essential oil. Rub the foam into soiled areas with a damp sponge. Let dry thoroughly and then vacuum. (From The Naturally Clean Home.) • Laundry soap — Try “soap nuts” made from the dried fruit of the Chinese soapberry tree. Available in natural groceries and online, the reusable soap nuts come in a cotton sack that goes into the washing machine with clothes. • Dusting — Skip the furniture polishes. Instead, use a microfiber cloth. Made from synthetic fibers that are then split into hundreds of smaller microfibers, they capture dust more efficiently than regular rags. If necessary, a little olive oil makes a fine polishing agent.  has written about health for a variety of publications.

When I first start https://green-approach.com, the main reason for my mind was a website with the purpose of help people about living a chemical-free life. That idea was born from this huge desire that I have in my heart to warn people, protect them against all the sicknesses that a life with chemical would bring to them.

I went ahead and did a lot of research trying to put together all the articles, all the products that we could replace to a good, organic, non-toxic, eco-friendly, ethical made, getting a wonderful start line of products that would bring back safety and health.  At the same time, I want to also bring awareness about animal cruelty, animal extinction, and everything else that comes from the same territory, poachers, hunters, environment, pollution, our beautiful, perfect planet are going to the total destruction if we don’t take action and fight for our rights and keep our Earth safe, so, the children of our children will be able to enjoy Nature the same way we do today, still do, fortunately.

I know that we have about over 200 chemical agents in our home, any given time, these agents are hurting every one of us in our family, big or small, it hurts people differently. We are different from each other. In a family of 5 people, every one of these families has totally different strengths. One can have a very strong immune system, when the small one, the younger one, may have a weaker immune system. For example, if we are in a family of 5 different human beings that will react to a chemical solution in ways that we would never expect. So, the solution would be, just don’t have chemicals in the house at all. Just eliminate it. Remember, we react differently, but, we will be hurt one way or the other, because chemicals are not good for anyone, no matter how strong your system is.

Ok, easily said than done. We are all people of habit. There are things in our life that we have gotten on the habit to do. It is difficult that all of a sudden we will change a lifetime of addictions and habits that have been in our life since we were kids, it has come from our parent’s home in the first place. We need to do it, definitely, but, maybe slowly, patiently, but, certainly, with a huge conviction because we know for sure what is good for us and our environment. We can try to ignore it, we can try to put it off. neglect, postpone, procrastinate, but, we do know that time is running out and we have to start sooner than later. We owe it to our kids and to the generations that are coming.

We have some research made by the EPA, Environmental Protection Agency,  that are getting our attention to the fact about how bad are the chemicals we have in our home! I really wish that you read it, and find out for yourself what is scientifically proved that the chemicals we have gotten in our nest are really bad. Let’s have a look and try to take that into consideration because this is a very serious business. Sometimes we don’t understand why some families have some sickness, and others don’t. We have to look at the whole picture. We can take me for example:

It was one time in my life that I was fighting cancer. Cervical and breast cancer. On the cervical issue, I have had 3 surgeries and it kept coming back, and eventually, I have to have a hysterectomy. I was still in the hospital recovering when my doctor has found out that I have a little, tiny lump in my breast.  Come to find out a few days later, still in the hospital recovering from the hysterectomy, when I was diagnosed with a lump in my breast that was cancer. So, going on realizing that I better start to eliminate or change dramatically my lifestyle. The lump in my breast was removed, and fortunately, it didn’t spread. It was 2002 and after my recovery, I have moved from Massachusetts to Charlotte, NC. in 2007, since then I haven’t been in a hospital, I mean, not for being that sick.

I am cancer-free for over 16  years. I don’t have a cold, I don’t have the flu. I pray and thank God every moment of my life that is very blessed because I follow his teachings and respect Nature, loving it with all my heart. I have all the chemicals out of my home, out of my life. I have changed my lifestyle much more after all these and will continue on this path. At least I am giving myself a chance to change my life for the better.

There is one thing that I urge you to keep your eyes open too, the big industry behind natural and organic products. You have to do your research and make sure there is a place that you can trust too. There will be places that don’t have what they claim to have. You know that are good people and bad people in this world. Unfortunately, we are not all good. Some people will, without remorse, use people to their advantage, I really don’t like to say it, but, it is true, and we would rather not have to say it, it really sickens me to know that some people do things just like that and ruin it to everyone…

littledearinthewoods

God doesn’t want us to be victims of malicious people that have no integrity, and he will make sure that you will find the right people to deal with. Pray, keep your eyes open, do research and you will be fine. I, myself, have a list of companies that are all legitimate and will help you with a lot of information about their products and making sure you will be safe. The answer is information. The companies that are transparent and legitimate, will have a lot of information. That will pick the good from the bad, period.

I know for sure that everything that God has put in this Earth is an extension of him that is reflected in Nature. Nothing that the men make to have an easier and fast life, and cheaper for him is good. We have to celebrate Nature and thank God for all the miracles that we have on Earth. He is the smartest being in the Universe, and men know nothing. The only thing that men know is breaking God’s law and destroy the perfection of Creation. When we protect the animals, Nature the way God has created, we are respecting God. God is Nature.

8 Shockingly Common Home Pollution Dangers

If you thought the secondhand smoke was a problem, wait until you read this.

The Environmental Protection Agency says the air we breathe indoors can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. And that is largely our fault as we unwittingly introduce products into our home that diminish the quality of our air. While we may know that secondhand smoke, radon gas, and molds impair our indoor air quality, many sources of indoor air pollution aren’t so obvious.

Here are eight that might surprise you.

1. Candles. As much as you may appreciate the atmosphere they create, candles can fill up your home with harmful gases and sediments. It doesn’t always matter whether the candle is paraffin, vegetable oil, soy, or beeswax-based. During combustion, all candles release some soot carbon particles that become airborne and can lead to respiratory problems.

Paraffin comes with its own problems. It’s a byproduct of petroleum, coal, or shale that’s whitened in industrial-strength bleach that infuses it with dioxins. Another chemical, acrolein, a compound linked to the risk of lung cancer from cigarette smoke, is added to the wax as a solidifying agent.

While the candle industry insists that the final product is inert, studies have shown that burning paraffin candles can release high amounts of benzene and toluene — both known carcinogens — into the atmosphere. And even if you buy a high-end candle, it doesn’t make it any safer. Candles from retailers like Bed, Bath & Beyond, Yankee Candle Store, and Crate & Barrel are mostly made from paraffin.

Add to the mix the artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances often used in candles, especially those for aromatherapy. The recipe varies from candle to candle, but the fragrances and dyes often contain toxic plasticizers and solvents.

If you can’t live without your candles, consider those made of beeswax or vegetable oils, and with natural dyes and perfumes.

2. Dryer Sheets. Few scents are as comforting as warm laundry pulled from the dryer, thanks to the olfactory magic of fabric softener sheets. But have you ever wondered what’s in those dryer sheets? That waxy feeling when you touch them is a surfactant compound that coats your clothes to keep them soft. The compound is also positively charged, which helps remove static. It’s often comprised of a mixture of quaternary ammonium salt (which is linked to asthma), silicon oil, or stearic acid (derived from animal fat). When these ingredients heat in the dryer, they liquefy, coating the clothes. In essence, your fabrics aren’t really softer—they’re just coated with a fatty film to make you think they are.

Along with the surfactant are fragrances that contain toxins and get into the air when released from dryer vent emissions. Because the fragrances manufacturers use are trade secrets, consumers have no way of knowing what they contain. Federal laws require only that cleaning products list the ingredients that are active disinfectants or known to pose hazards.

A study published in the August 2011 issue of the journal Air Quality, Atmosphere and Health, shows that scented laundry items often contain numerous carcinogens and toxins not listed on the packaging, including acetaldehyde and benzene. The University of Washington researchers called the air vented from machines that used scented laundry detergent and dryer sheets toxic.

It’s probably best to ditch the dryer sheets altogether. But if you insist on using them, stick with the less toxic options. Seventh Generation makes dryer sheets that contain no fragrances or masking agents. The company also discloses all the ingredients of the sheets, which include a plant-derived softening agent.

3. Carpets. As much as you may love that “new carpet smell,” that famous scent is actually the off-gassing of hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including toluene, bromine, benzene, formaldehyde, ethylbenzene, styrene, and acetone. Routine exposure to these chemicals are known to cause headaches, throat and eye irritation, allergies, confusion, and drowsiness. Synthetic carpets that contain nylon and olefin fibers are typically the worst offenders.

Regular exposure to significant levels of these toxins can pose long-term problems, including learning and memory impairment, birth defects, decreased fertility, and diseases of the liver, thyroid, ovaries, kidneys, and blood. Benzene is a well-known human carcinogen and formaldehyde is a probable human carcinogen. Some new carpets also contain the moth-proofing chemical naphthalene, which is known to produce toxic reactions, especially in newborns. Also found in some carpets is p-Dichlorobenzene, a carcinogen also known to produce fetal abnormalities when tested on animals.

But it’s not just new carpets that cause a problem. While older carpets no longer off-gas these chemicals, dust mites and their droppings begin to permeate the nap over time. The droppings cause severe allergic reactions in many people, and researchers are just beginning to correlate dust mite exposure to asthma. Household dust can also have high levels of lead, as the heavy metal still permeates our soil from the days of leaded paint and gasoline. We also add toxins into our carpets when we walk on them with our shoes, tracking in contaminated dirt and pesticides from the outdoors. Almost any toxic substance we use at home, from paints to bug sprays, to candle or fireplace soot, can settle into carpet fibers and later spread into the air.

Consider investing in a quality HEPA vacuum cleaner that can help remove many of the toxins without throwing them back into the air. You can also buy carpeting certified “Green Label Plus” by the Carpet and Rug Institute, which evaluates carpeting for low emissions of VOCs.

4. Kitchen Stove. We’re not advocating getting rid of your range, but a poorly ventilated kitchen can cause a great amount of air pollution in your house, regardless if you’re a culinary whiz or not.

Gas stoves are particularly worrisome as they emit more nitrogen dioxide, a highly reactive gas that’s created when fuel is burned at high temperatures. Nitrogen dioxide, a strong oxidizing agent, mixes with the air to create nitric acid and toxic organic nitrates. These can irritate the lungs and lower resistance to respiratory infections such as influenza. Frequent exposure to higher concentrations than normally found in ambient air may cause acute respiratory illnesses in children, according to the EPA.

The solution to minimizing exposure to nitrogen dioxide is simple. Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated during cooking and for several minutes after. Investing in a high-quality ventilation fan, particularly a range hood, can greatly improve air quality. You should use ventilation whenever you’re cooking, not just for those times you burn something. If fan ventilation isn’t possible, as in some apartments, try to cook with nearby windows open.

5. Cleaning Products. Cleaning your home is important to air quality, as it removes dust, mold, and other particulates from the air. However, many conventional household cleaning products often include harmful chemicals.

Even cleaners labeled “green” or “organic” may contain ingredients that can cause health problems. Notably, natural citrus fragrances can react with the air to produce dangerous pollutants indoors.

But conventional cleaning products are still far worse, as they may contain alcohol, chlorine, ammonia, or petroleum-based solvents, all of which can have negative effects on health, irritating the eyes or the throat or causing headaches. Some cleaning products release dangerous chemicals, including VOCs that can contribute to chronic respiratory problems and exacerbate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory illnesses. Products containing VOCs include most aerosol sprays, chlorine bleach, rug, and upholstery cleaners, furniture and floor polish, and oven cleaners.

Chlorine bleach is particularly nasty. Mixing it with an acidic cleaner like ammonia or vinegar can create chlorine gas (yes, the same gas used in chemical warfare) which can cause immediate health problems, even death when inhaled.

If you want to keep your air clean while you clean, consider using less toxic, less expensive products such as hydrogen peroxide (for sanitizing, stain removal and bleaching), tea tree oil and water (for mold removal and as a disinfectant), and white vinegar (for cleaning glass, counters and tile).

These common household items work just as well as the high-end green cleaning products, if not better.

6. Paint. Even if you haven’t painted a room in years, the paint on the walls can still do some damage to your lungs, even your brain for that matter. People living in older homes may still have walls coated in lead paint, which was banned in the late 1970s. Lead can still be a powerful neurotoxin even decades after a room is painted, as the paint continues to chip, peel and flake off surfaces. Many of these chips break down and are pulverized to microscopic pieces that become part of the interior dust you breathe. If you’re worried about lead paint in an older dwelling, you should contact a licensed paint contractor to help you find ways of mitigating your exposure.

Newer paints also create some health risks in the home as many of them contain VOCs and can off-gas for weeks, even months after a room is coated. The short-term risks of these paint fumes are headaches, dizziness, nausea, asthma exacerbation, fatigue, skin allergies, confusion, and memory impairment.

When buying paint, look for brands that have lower levels of VOCs. Low-VOC and zero-VOC paints are just as good as standard interior and exterior paints. They also tend to dry much more quickly and they’re far better for you and the environment.

7. Air Fresheners. While they may cover up bad odors, air fresheners can actually make indoor air much worse by emitting toxic pollutants at levels that may lead to health risks. Many clean-air advocates compare their toxicity to that of secondhand smoke.

There’s plenty of research to back up those claims. Scientists at the UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discovered that many top-selling fresheners contain significant amounts of ethylene-based glycol ethers, which are known to create neurological and blood effects, including fatigue, nausea, tremor, and anemia. These ethers are classified as hazardous air pollutants by the EPA and California Air Resources Board.

Many air fresheners also contain phthalates, a common family of household chemicals often used to soften plastics. You’ll find phthalates in many plastic household products and toys, but they’re also used in air fresheners to support the fragrance. As the manufacturers of air fresheners don’t need to disclose all their ingredients, it’s difficult to pinpoint which products contain them. Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors and can be specifically harmful to infants and children who do not have developed endocrine systems. Phthalates have notable effects on the developing male sex organs and are linked to abnormally developed male genitalia, poor semen quality, and low testosterone levels.

8. Air Purifiers. Knowing that the air in a home may contain dangerous pollutants, consumers have invested in air purifiers to remove the toxins. However, some air purifiers release large amounts of ozone into the atmosphere, which has a pleasant, sweet scent (similar to what you might smell after a thunderstorm).

Consumers shouldn’t be fooled by what their noses tell them; ozone is a potent lung irritant and consistent exposure to it has been linked to the exacerbation of chronic lung diseases like COPD and asthma. It can also be harmful to infants, even scarring their lungs during early development.

About a decade ago, Consumer Reports found that some popular air purifiers, notably those made by Sharper Image, released unhealthy amounts of ozone into the atmosphere. Since that time, the EPA has warned against using ozone emitters as air purifiers and California Air Resources Board has banned air purification systems that emit high amounts of ozone. However, you’ll still see some of these air purifiers for sale online and in stores.

This is not to say all air purifiers are bad; many actually do a great job at removing air contaminants and protecting your health. If you’re interested in buying an air purifier, we recommend you use Good Housekeeping’s guide to help you with your decision.

Your face, like any part of your body, needs one crucial thing to behave the right way: NUTRITION.

Even knowing all these major information, we are still somehow neglecting our bodies of their important necessities. We still won’t give our body the utmost NUTRITION, that we really needed.

Top of that, these vitamins, minerals, and all that should be done the right way. You have to know what the quantity, the quality, the interaction between one and another.  The whole process that it is done, have to be supervised by someone that knows the process well.

My Green Wish

Posted on by

I wish I could change everything for better…

 

I wish I could make the leaders understand how crucial for the environment is the existence of a huge number of species, that if they are not extinct already, they are on the verge of becoming extinct.

I wish I could put back all the beautiful and important sites that we have in this world just the way they used to be.

I wish I could have a say on the important issues that are going on right now. If we can’t change the past, let’s change the future. Let’s stop every project that will have a huge impact on the environment right now.

Oh! I wish.

Let’s try to change the way they handle these projects, creating laws that will make sure that men will not put their greedy as a priority on the top of the table anymore.

Koala

Koala

Men don’t know yet that the environment and the future of the species are a priority for them.

Even after all these years, after all the mistakes he has made, they just don’t understand what their priority really means to them. They are still very confused about it. Like they were thousands and thousands of years ago.

The only difference is, In the past, they really didn’t know what the implications were really about.

We are an extension of Nature, of this huge wild world. Every little thing that disturbs this wild world will disturb us, our health including because we belong here inside this beautiful nature together. With the animals, the life forms that live within us and outside us, but always with very strong strings attached

I,  having my very personal and unique green approach. Always.

No matter how sad they make me or how sometimes I feel a little bit discouraged because the competition is evil…

It’s always a Beautiful sky sparkling with stars staring at me. Telling me not to give it up!

What do you think? Change, for Better…

 My mother used to say to me when I was a little girl, “There are better people than bad people in the world”. I was crying and telling her what I have just seen these kids do to a kitty cat…

 Chamomile, Flower, Nature, Plant

How I want to change things the way they are.

I was doing some research on the internet yesterday. So I have seen this petition written by this nice lady that went to this Dairy Farm to do an investigative report on animal cruelty. I wasn’t ready for what I have seen in this video. It was the most shocking, the cruelest video that I have seen in ages.

On the top of being in this very small place, not being able to move while a bunch of hoses and things are hooked up to her tits. It’s horrible…

First, the way they do the milk extraction now, it’s horrible. On the top of being in this very small place, not being able to move while a bunch of hoses and things are hooked to the poor cow being with her breasts so huge and uncomfortable in this very small spot. You would see how uncomfortable she was the whole time.

This person all over sudden started to punch and kicked her…

This person all over sudden started to punch her in her face and kicked her in her stomach, her tits, and everywhere. So, she lost her balance and fell on the floor. She was trying to get up, but, the space was too small for her to move anyway, whatever, and then they have come and start to electrocute her thinking that would’ve made her behave the way they want her too. By this point, I was in tears. I couldn’t believe that all that was happening. Animals, Dog, Cat, Puppy, Young, Playful

I couldn’t believe all that was happening. I start to pray to God to help that poor cow to stop suffering like that. Those people were definitely the cruelest people that I have ever seen in my life.

My day was full of a disappointment of the Human race…

My day was full of the disappointment of the human race. How can they do that to the animals? That cow was giving her milk, unwillingly, of course, who can blame her? And this person instead of being grateful, they were abusing her all the way. I mean, what is going on with these human beings?

How can they be without any compassion and respect for an animal that is giving her milk that was supposed to go to her offsprings? They take their babies for veal and they will never, ever seen their cubs again. I just wish so much that I could end the suffering of all these animals that are used for men to eat, for entertaining, for dairy, for profit. I really wish that I could just cease this non-stop violence against to these animals that have never done anything to make us being so mean to them. I feel so powerless. Oh God please help me to end this right now!

I so much wish that I have some Power to punish this person, appropriately…

I so much wish that I have some power right now…  Have a power to punish these people the way they deserve right now. These people do nothing but abuse and disregard any creature suffering when they should be grateful instead. The power-on me to punish these people that don’t care, that carry nothing but abuse and disrespect. How can a human being do something like that and go to the church and pray and think they are righteous people? Don’t they have a conscience? don’t they have regret? Don’t they have empathy?  Feelings for their suffering even when they are giving themselves to us, feeding us, and being so passive?

They are giving themselves to us, their milk, their offspring, their life,  passively

For that reason and others, I am a permanent boycotter of meat, dairy, of anything that uses animals with suffering involved. It’s not an easy path. You get there taking one day at a time, praying to God to give you strength, courage, and information, how would be the best way you can contribute to help here and there. Doing what is possible for you. What you can. God reads your heart. He knows your most deep feelings and has so much respect for your suffering and wishes. He will always come to the rescue. Trust me, he will. And, you can feel it, right in your heart, very deeply my friend, one second at a time. God have mercy on us, Human Beings.

God have mercy on us, Human Beings…

Food that Balance your Hormones Naturally

Food that Balance your Hormones Naturally

 When you talk about Food, and all the implications that word has and even after so many thousands and thousands of years, still have, you would think that men would have evolved and would be an expert on the subject. No matter how much technology we have developed over all these years, men still crawling like a baby as far as good food, wise eating habits are concerned, etc… etc…

So we have found out about all the food properties, what that food is good for, or how we should eat this or that to avoid getting overweight or get the right nutrition if you have certain illnesses that you think it will be good to prevent or to cure that kind of sicknesses…

We will eventually find out that some people can’t afford to buy good food. Why? Good food is expensive, supplements are expensive.
Really, only people that make a lot of money can eat the food that is good for you.

Now, with all those things that men have found out we have another discovery to do; Find out how to get all the healthy food to the people that can’t afford to buy it! So, that is the part that I have been wondering about. We need programs. We need subsidies, we need the government to step up and start to create programs that will have everyone able to get the good food to their table.

I ask you; Do you have any ideas? Please, sign up, leave a comment or subscribe, and tell me what idea do you have? We do have good food. I am sure about that. Your opinion and suggestion will be appreciated.

Anyway, I have this research that I did about good foods that should be on our table. Try to go to places and compare prices. Tha’s what I do. Like vegetables, they still are cheaper than meat, and you can have them instead. There are a lot of delicious vegetable dishes that you can cook for your family. So, My next post I will have some very good recipes for vegetables that will be made rich. I can’t wait to talk to you again, thank you! Meanwhile, down here are some suggestions for foods that will help you. Please, read and make the best you can. I hope I was able to help.

You might know by now that I believe we are what we eat, but, that really doesn’t mean that if we eat wrong that it is our choice, because, as I have said before, FOOD IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. Please bear with me and let’s try together to make a simple meal a very grand meal, indeed!

Almonds

 

It’s the healthiest nuts that supply your skin, the health that you need. It has been scientifically proved that it increases the levels of Adiponectin Hormone, which helps the regulation of blood sugar levels to prevent and control the high-insulin high androgen ripple effects.

Researchers have found direct tyes when almonds are consumed, a significant reduction in the levels of not so health male Hormones, like Testosterone that make your skin dry and thinner.

Almond Blossom

It’s very important that you add about 11 almonds to your day by day consumption of Almonds. Increase, if you will, but, be careful with the intake of calories.

We try to eliminate Nuts because of the whole calorie content, but maybe we are missing some of the crucial. We often don’t pay very much attention to the Hormone balancing profiles of food, such as Testosterone, that is very important to maintain and decrease the damage to the health of your skin. We can safely balance a very healthy diet that will contribute to our skin, maintaining balanced Hormones.

Almonds Nature

Broccoli

 

The dark green veggies, like Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, and Spinach have a lot of Antioxidants, Vitamins, and naturally occurring compounds, indole3 Carbinol, and sulforaphane, that enhances the potential of the Liver to metabolize Estrogen.

Broccoli on Wood Table

Estrogen helps increase Collagen that makes our skin young, tight. It helps the skin also self-repair by increasing the blood flow that reaches the skin. By the time the levels of Estrogen that are within the body start to decrease, the skin, and other organs will shrink and pulling inwards. It is crucial that we consume at least a cup of dark leafy green veggies every single day.

Avocado

Avocado in a Green Setup

Avocado, coconut, and Olive Oil are overflowing with healthy fats that help the body keeping and controlling healthy cholesterol levels while having a strong capacity for synthesizing Hormone. It helps your skin to be healthy allowing the release and circulation of essentials Hormones that keep all the natural beauty of your skin.

With a half Avocado a day to bring up a handful of Nutrients like monosaturated fatty acids, Potassium, Vitamin C and E, Fiber, which add to shield the skin from bad results from the sun.

Salmon

Loaded with heart-healthy  Omega3 fatty acids, it is a major building bold in synthesizing both, Hormone and Cholesterol levels. Being very beneficial to the health of the heart and brain, it helps very much in generating and regulating Hormones. Loaded with heart-healthy  Omega3 fatty acids, it is a major building bold in synthesizing both, Hormone and Cholesterol levels.

It was found in researches that Salmon has a huge anti-inflammatory which helps soothing and preventing plenty of skin ailments like acne and eczema.

Eat 4 ounces of Salmon twice a week.

Eggs

 

I want to reveal to you that the yolks of the Eggs do not have bad Cholesterol. In fact, the Eggs’ yokes have the good and HDL Cholesterol that is required by the body to generate Essential Hormones.

Moreover, HDL cholesterol will soften the skin and will enhance its beauty. It’s wise that you will eat one egg a day to maintain healthy fats and HDL cholesterol, that will keep your skin healthy and beautiful, and so, your body energizing protein.

Quinoa

Quinoa in a Bowl

 

These amazing grains essential to fill up your body with Energetic-Hormone-Regulating-Nutrients. It’s loaded with all the best Nutrients and Minerals plus Phosphorus, Magnesium, and Protein.

Quinoa is not like other grains that usually are high on the Glycemic index and can threaten to heighten your blood sugar levels. Quinoa stabilizes blood sugar levels as it is a complex carb, brimming with heaps of protein.

This helps the body control the Domino Effect that happens when high blood sugar levels increase Insulin levels, bringing it to a  dangerous rise in Androgen levels.

We want to advise you to eat Quinoa twice in the place of any Grains, like rice and bread.

You will need a half cup of Quinoa twice every week. That will have energizing Nutrients and balanced Hormones and Minerals that will keep a tight and firm skin.

Thank you again!

autumtresscolorsandwaterreflectingthelights

You are the most valuable miracle there is

When we have decided to come for you. To show you our care,  and concern for you. We want you to know that you were to be the most important being there is. We start this journey with you, especially in mind. Thinking this way,  we would have come, and we would be here for you. Best of all, we are here for you, in spirit…

I know that you have thought one time that you didn’t have any value for us. That you have come and gone without leaving any message of importance that would leave us like a tree without the leaves, just like autumn, but, autumn has the leaves, spread on the ground, and the leaves show the ground with so many colors. Autumn has also the EverGreen, and things are not what they seem to be, most of the time.

What an Amazing color, like the dark of fire, yellow sparkling with beige and red again, like your wine-reddish lips. Autumn has an immense explosion of beautiful colors that leave you with that awed look that you do it so well. It’s just like you and autumn are just one. with the cinnamon color of your skin, so beautiful!

We did care a great deal when your hazel eyes stopped to look at us, it was so many words that were coming even without a sound. You were so unique with your being, at that beautiful window with so many colors and cries.

white tiger

We have never thought about leaving you. You are part of us and we are part of you. We can never be apart. We are going in the same direction and the sparkling of your hazel eyes are following us all the way that you go, in a flight to up and up in the skies. Flying with no wings…

How can you fly with no wings? you keep going until you disappear on the skies and show up again bringing those sparkling hazel eyes so intense waving goodbye. Flying with no wings my friend, so long! I Stop to look at you again.

TiRoseRedHeartTextureAlexJames09161Web

You just look at me refusing to disappear on the horizon. I am still glued to the same spot watching you waving your hands and you look so peaceful. it wasn’t enough that you were that gorgeous figure flying with no wings, you kept going in circles with your body which was making me dizzy spinning around that way and I was just watching you.

In all the years that I have known you, you have never expressed anything about your feelings for me as a lover. We have this unbreakable friendship so ethereal sometimes, and now it was that way. because it was the most beautiful and lasting love I have ever felt… I know now how intense you are. How much you have marked me to live forever in my heart. I have not your soul, but now I do! You have unconditionally given it to me.

Thank you so much for having given it to me. I thank you every single day for being part of my life.,. For the sound of your voice when you were laughing so out and loud, and so very happy! For the moments that you have been with me. I am so honored. Now I know for sure you will never, ever wave goodbye. Why? Because you will never go away. You will always be here with me. I can feel your cinnamon smell. I can look into those hazel eyes and dark whine lips. So long, my friend! Thank you so much.

Warmly!

We are looking for sanity and even sometimes we think we master that thought, but, it is so easy to lose it!

Let me tell you about Propolis…

Let me tell you about Propolis

One does not know Enough

About oneself to make the right choices and make the right decisions in one’s life…

Some choices are easier to identify, and some choices are like a puzzle that no matter what, the choices can’t be that clear about being the right one or the wrong one. One would love to be in a situation that is black or white. How about the ones that are, “in-between”?  Circle that! Oh, multiple choices! Just put it in a column of five or four and choose one. Doesn’t one love the simplicity? It’s just not that simple!

Everyday life decisions are never, ever that simple. But, sometimes they are simple, and we just come and complicate it. Just when you need your blood pressure checked to see if it is high and the doctor wants to put you on some medication that you don’t like because the side effects are horrible. So, it will be high, with the anticipation that will be there. As simple as that. What is that? Anticipation syndrome? Wow!

Somedays decisions can be that simple!

Don’t we wish that decisions would be easier to make? Don’t you wish that they would come with very clear directions or a video tutorial? Yes, I wished that every time I was about to make some choice and I was terrified of it. Somedays decisions can be that simple, and the next day the choices are getting so blurred and hard to recognize…

But there is one decision that is very easy to make, and that would have to be your decision. The choices and decisions about your HEALTH. You must make those decisions. I agree that you do trust your doctor. It is fine. To a certain point. I have met people throughout my life who put the burden of choices and decisions on their doctors. They are amazingly trustful of their doctor to an extreme that they would be not necessarily a person, but some kind of a saint or a genius. A perfect human being…

Bees on a light pink Cherry Blossom tree

Doctors are not that infallible.

A doctor is a human being that above all, is not perfect. Doctors are not infallible! Doctors make mistakes. Like in any kind of trade, they are subject to be sometimes, plain and simple, wrong, making mistakes that sometimes are even stupid. In any profession, there are good and bad professionals. Or sometimes you could make a bad decision on one case and still be a good doctor…

Why then when it comes to a doctor, people simply, can’t get the reality of a doctor making the wrong decision… Like any journalist, lawyer, etc… It is challenging the way that people adore their doctor to the point that they let the doctors make all the decisions for their problems like they would not let any other professionals do in any other circumstances…

Be your Health Advocate

Be your Health Advocate! It’s a wonderful phrase and it is safe to be that way because if you do, you will do much better. Question your doctor, disagree if you have to. If he tells you to your face, ” I am your doctor!”, that phrase like he is the almighty, you answer; so what? Answer it; I am a patient.

I have friends that I love dearly, telling me when we are talking about their doctors, that disagree with me saying that; Are you crazy? He’s my doctor, he knows… Like he’s some kind of infallible person who will not make any mistake in any circumstances. I can’t agree with it!

Doctors are not God.

I have been getting hurt by an almighty doctor! I have just painted his picture. The day that I questioned him about the mistake that he had made that had made me lose my baby, he answered that he had never made a mistake in his life! That was what he told me. That dreadful day was when I lost my baby and almost lost my life.

I am 60 years old. I have been on Earth for that amount of time that has to mean something.  Let me tell you something; No one is perfect and infallible, no one!

Eurasian-eagle-owl

Doctors are human beings just like anyone else!

That’s about one thing that sometimes makes me think more deeply why is everyone so hooked up with doctors being perfect human beings? I have met some people here and there, throughout my life, sometimes a dear friend and sometimes an acquaintance that was introduced to me by a friend that has become very dear to me. Some of them have doctors prescribing them a huge amount of prescriptions sometimes even over 23 different prescriptions. I have to tell you that I wasn’t that comfortable knowing that a person that I care so much about was taking so many prescription medications like that.

So, time went by and during this time it wasn’t only one person that  I  have gotten to know that was taking so many prescription medications like that. I used to know a lot of people in that same position taking all those chemicals that were unbelievably inappropriate, I thought. I would try to reason with them on different occasions and use my knowledge about some homeopathic organic or even homemade medicine. I don’t even remember the amount any longer that was the average amount of prescription medications that of the people that I have known were prescribed to and still do.

You would be surprised to know

You would be surprised to know the number of people who despite their doctors, even the ones that definitely would have nothing to do with anything, but giving prescription drugs to the core, still will not get away with their closed tight minds. People out there are fighting fiercely to tell their doctors what they would rather have for their bodies other than what their doctors are so closed-minded about it. That is really what I am talking about.

Before I go any further with bad-mouthing doctors, I don’t want to do that, because there are doctors out there that are amazing. There are doctors that at this moment that we are speaking about Almighty doctors, they are stretching themselves, prolonging their education on the integration of traditional medicine and holistic medicine; putting together yoga, acupuncture, herbal supplements, etc…  They are working together to accommodate the best of a westerner medicine with what has been used for thousands of years. I strongly wish for this beautiful idea, because we need both.

It’s very frustrating to even ask them if they would consider just stopping to check about all these prescriptions, if maybe, only maybe, we could somehow make a careful evaluation to eliminate some or maybe, only one medication from the list. Maybe replace some of it with some herbal supplements to see if we could treat some of the symptoms with nutrients in supplements here and there. Even the suggestion was like I was insulting them. How can you consider that? He’s my doctor. He knows very well what he’s doing. When I would reply that, maybe we could ask him. That person would think that would be an insult to suggest that to the doctor, to suggest such a thing!

A new study published in the Health Service Research Journal shows that Physicians and Nurses, most of the people who work in the Medical Field, are more inclined to use Complementary Medicine Than everyone else. This study has concluded that 63% of general people use some kind of Natural options Medicine, and 76%  of the ones that work in the Medical Field use Complementary Medicine ( Health Care Workers use more Natural Options than the ones that are not working in The Medical Field; doctors, nurses, social workers, health technicians, etc…

Some rules keep doctors from prescribing

Some rules keep doctors from prescribing Holistic Healing. Those coming from Health Insurance,  Employment Contracts, and Medical Board Regulations. I will do another post on the subject. The most important thing to understand right now is, we need integrated Medicine. We need to combine traditional with Holistic, Herbal supplements, and complementary Medicine. We can all work together for the wellness of the people. Medicine is about finding cures for the Illnesses the best way we can. Use something that works in that particular case. Things like the way you eat, are really the most important issue in your overall health. I like this phrase very much, You are what you eat! Isn’t that true? It’s a lot on the subject. We will need another page…

We have to try different things if what we have tried before isn’t working. Give it a chance…

So, I have to put my tail between my legs and wimp… So much for any suggestions. Let’s not forget about the reason that conversation has even started in the first place. Side effects. So, I have concerns about some people that I have cared a lot about and want to help. I know that I am not better than the doctor. I just sometimes don’t understand why a doctor would prescribe so much medication to one person. It’s very disturbing to me that sometimes what they have is not something so major that ends up becoming a major problem because of the way it was handled.

We have to try different things.

We have to try different things if what we have tried before isn’t working. We don’t have to be a doctor to know that antibiotics weaken our immune system if we take them too much. I see doctors day after day prescribing antibiotics like it is a candy(granted that candy can be very bad for you also). Anyway, I think if you have something infected or inflammation you can take some time prescribing something that would take care of it without using an antibiotic, why not? Or anything else that you could treat using something more natural without so many side effects.

save-the-bees-extralarge

I knew that some problems that some of the people that were so dear to me have been only minor issues that could have had a very simple solution, but, it was getting more serious day by day and I was hoping for some natural medications, and supplements with good nutrients. but, swelling down those pills every day, wasn’t helping either. It just was making things much worse day by day, all those deadly chemicals. I was so sure that maybe even with an improved diet and some supplements we would have eliminated most of those chemicals.

It’s known that we come in contact with over 200 chemical agents in our own homes every day.

I know for sure that the chemicals that we usually come in contact with day after day make our immune systems very weak.  They are also carcinogens. I have tried very hard to have her change her mind, but it was no use. I believe in nutrients. I think that most issues we have with our health have something to do with a very poor diet. Nothing that we can’t solve with some very good nutrients that Nature has to offer.

I believed also that most of it could be an inflammation where we could use “propolis“, (propolis is something used to build their honeycomb), which works as a very good antibiotic, that naturally would get rid of the inflammation and ease up most of the symptoms. I have learned over the years that I have done the research and I, myself, have enough proof, having Rheumatic Fever for so many years and having gone also so many years without a symptom.  that propolis was very powerful. Trust me, I have used it and knew, about 100% sure that it worked. I was extremely sure. I would bet a lot of money on it and could be rich by now.

Lemon and Honeycomb

Let me tell you about Propolis
Posted on  by 

What the Bee creates is all useful. There is no waste. Everything is good in its way. Propolis works as a protection for the hive from Natural Elements,  from any harm to the Hive. That could be snow, rain, wind, protection against parasites bringing infections, preventing diseases, or small harmful visitors. Propolis mainly is a mixed resin composed of beeswax. It’s dark, sticky. It feels like glue, and it is good to seal the hive so there are no gaps.Having Propolis into your Regular DietThe health benefits of Propolis are phenomenal. I am still amazed at the results that I normally get when I use Propolis. I am always reaching for Propolis, again and again over so many years. It’s been 45 years since I have known Propolis and about over 35 years that I have been taking it. Not continuously, but, time taking it and time not. Recently I have been taking it more often. Having Propolis in your regular diet is a very wise move towards a life with no sickness.The Benefits of Propolis are EndlessThe benefits of Propolis are endless. I did some research again with the help of my friend Honey Colony and Google and I have found an amazing amount of solutions that Propolis does to your health. The Bees are very versatile creatures that seem like perfection, I mean, they are unbelievable little ones that are very good to this Earth and to you. We can’t live without them and as soon as men realize that, as soon as we will become safe. on this Earth.Diagnosed with Rheumatic FeverI have been fascinated by Propolis since I was a little over 15 years old. I have just developed a Rheumatic Fever after this very bad Strep Throat that almost killed me. it’s a little hard to diagnose Rheumatic Fever. Some blood tests will still be negative and that doesn’t mean you don’t have it. After many tests, we got the diagnosis and my parents started to think about how they were going to handle it. The doctors have told my parents that I have to take Antibiotics.The Bees are Amazing Knowing at that time that antibiotics taken so often could hurt my immune system, my parents decided to take me to a Homeopathic doctor. Now remember I am 61 years old now, and that was a time when people really used more Natural Healing, taking herb teas for anything. My mother was those old-fashioned women who used as much as possible the treatment even more than today, I believe. So we went to the doctor and he prescribed Propolis and it was the liquid one that my parents had gotten for me. Horrible taste. So, then I started my relationship with Propolis. It’s amazing how everything about bees is usable. It comes from the bees, it’s pretty much no waste. They are an amazing creature, our friends, the bees.The Bees Play a Very Important Role in this PlanetI have noticed that people don’t pay very much attention to the Bees.  When they do, is to kill them. They have a part in Nature that is so crucial, and I don’t understand why we are not so involved and doing more work to find out more things about Bees and try not to hurt them. The part that they play in life it’s very important It is truly amazing how men are not trying to bring light to this crucial issue, indeed. I know that there is some research going on about this very intricate God’s creatures. But, I still think that it should be more. Mainly about the things that are hurting the Bees right now.I Have Been Taking Propolis for About 35 yearsIt’s been about 45 years, given and taken, that I have been taking Propolis. I have sometimes during this period, stopped taking it for a while and resumed taking it after, but I know for sure that I have been taking Propolis for about 35 years, at least. I have never had a Cold, The Flu, or any Allergies. I have had some health problems for a long time ago, but that was because of the period of times that I stopped taking the Propolis for some time, so I assume that I had some behavior issues and such.If I Feel Anything Out of The Ordinary, I Take PropolisIf I feel anything out of the ordinary, I take Propolis. If I have an Abscess in my tooth, I take Propolis. If my cat has had a fight and the big chunk that was taken from his neck is infected, I give him Propolis, and Propolis has never, ever fallen short of working, on the contrary, it delivered, efficiently. In my book, Propolis is excellent for anything. Anything at all. A Miracle Holly solution. Propolis was put here on Earth by God.Bee Panacea is a MiracleAll the experiences that I have had with Propolis were positive. All the experiences that my family, friends, and pets have had with Propolis were amazing. That is the reason I have to spread the word. It’s my responsibility to bring awareness of Propolis. Mainly because I know about Propolis, I must spread the word. I want everyone, as far as I can reach, to feel also the miracle of Propolis on themselves, for their families and friends. I want so much for everyone to feel the help of having a sickness cured. Everyone deserves that information. It would be selfish of me to do any different.Propolis will Help with Cold and The FluThis is the right season to use the help of Propolis. Granted any season will be the right one. Here I will have many of the benefits that Propolis has given to us, Human Beings. I don’t think that it is all of them because Propolis is always surprising me with their vast list of help that they can bring to our body and soul. Let’s start and get some out to you, shall we?Antibacterial CapabilitiesIn the mouth with root canals, compared with Calcium Hydroxide, very good Anti-Microbial and more powerful at eliminating certain germs than Calcium is. Effectively killer of Bacteria. It has been additionally used to treat Cold and Flu.Traditionally we have been using Propolis to kill Colds and the Flu. Studies show how powerful the Bacteria-killing properties of your body of Propolis are.Propolis has a very powerful killing Bacteria capabilities.Propolis Lower Blood PressureNitric-Oxide is an important substance for a Healthy Heart. The inner lines of your Blood vessels use Nitric Oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscles to relax, resulting in Vasodilation (widening of Blood Vessels), increasing Blood flow.Reduction of the Bioavailability of nitric oxide plays a significant role in the development of High Blood Pressure. Without it, you would have a Heart Attack. There is an Enzyme called Tyrosine Hydroxylase ( or TH ), that limits the amount of nitric oxide you can produce, The research was done with rats that Propolis decreases TH and lowers Blood Pressure. Propolis may modulate Blood Pressure.If you suffer from Hypertension you may want to consider using raw honey which contains Propolis.Bone DiseasePropolis helps treat Bones  Diseases-Healthy and Bone Tissue.Scientists recently investigated whether Caffeic Phenethyl Ester, a very powerful compound found in Propolis could help or reverse Osteolytic Bone  Diseases. It’s very effective at suppressing the inflammatory compounds that cause bone diseases. Propolis could be a potential treatment for Bone Wasting Diseases like Osteoporosis.Taking a daily dose of Propolis could be a very wise thing to do.Propolis Treat AllergiesPropolis helps treat Allergies.Propolis ability to calm the symptoms of Seasonal Allergies.The scientists did experiment with rats and have found out that Propolis inhibited histamine Release from the rat’s Mast Cells. Histamine is the compound that makes you sneeze, and gives you watery eyes and a runny nose _ Anti-Histamines are the main allergy drugs sold over the counter so, come to Allergy Season, don’t only take your Bee Pollen, but add a daily dose of Propolis.Propolis Treats Prostate CancerPropolis boosts Prostate Cancer Cell death. Another benefit of Propolis, it prevents and suppresses this type of Cancer.Scientists examined the Cancer-Killing Effects Of Propolis, Tincture on two common types of Prostate Cancer. They concluded that Propolis Tincture markedly improved Cell death in Prostate Cancer Cells, and suggested the significant role of Propolis in Chemoprevention of Prostate Cancer.Propolis Kills Colon Cancer CellsScientists are looking at the Anti-Cancer and Anti-Microbial potential of Propolis at the same time.First, they exposed Propolis to four different Pathogens. As those of us who used Propolis for many Colds have known for years, the Propolis showed very strong Anti-Microbial activity.Then they tested Propolis against Colon Cancer Cells. They found out that it caused the Cancer Cells to die by Necrosis, which means that it interrupted the Blood supply to the Cell and caused just the local Cancer cells to die and not Living Cells.Chemotherapy does just the opposite of this – it kills both, healthy living and the Cancer Cells and is the reason why chemo has such violent and devasted side effects. Ultimately, this research is very promising. Some of the healthiest people in the world have experienced health benefits and other Bee Products for generations. Some exciting new research may be indicative of why these people live such long, healthy, lives, and have such high rates of centenarians amongst them.Propolis May Help Treat Food PoisoningThe aim of a recent study was to analyze the Anti Microbial Activity of Propolis against the germs that cause what is commonly referred to as Food Poisoning (16 Campylobacter jejuni).The scientists found that Propolis inhibited the growth of C. jejuni, Enterobacterfaecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus, the three bugs that are commonly found in Food Poisoning cases.They went on to say that Propolis preparations could be used as support to traditional therapy for infection, especially when antibiotics show no activity against these Micro-Organisms.Now to keep a bottle of Propolis Tincture in my purse at all times and take a dose after eating in an unfamiliar place or restaurant, is a very good idea.Propolis Protects Injured TeethWe know that Propolis is very effective on Inflammation, so scientists’ studies concluded that apparently, Traumatic Injury to the teeth creates a huge challenge of post-treatment complications such as Inflammation. Propolis was evaluated as an anti-receptive agent, which means that if Propolis could help control the inflammation in someone’s teeth that got knocked out in an accident so they could put the teeth back in.

To find out that they could. The scientists after a huge number of researches and tests realized that one of the benefits of Propolis is fighting inflammation, which brings a successful number of cures for diseases like, Arthritis, Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s, and many more. People who take Propolis more often have less inflammation in their bodies that lead to a healthier life, longer lives. Heat Stress and Athletic PerformancePropolis benefits are mainly so exceptional due to the major amount of Antioxidants that are in it. It’s very beneficial for Athletes because of protection from overheating, according to an article in The Journal of Food Science. Propolis has an active ingredient called “Caffeeic Acid Phenyl Ester, or CAPE, that triggers a broad spectrum of Biological Activities including Antioxidants, Anti-Inflammatory, and antiviral. The Research done by scientists examined Blood from 30 competitive cyclists who did endurance training two to four years prior to the investigation concluded even after some other tests that CAPE ( one of the most powered compounds in Propolis) promotion of Athletic performance taking Propolis, especially during the Summer may give you a safe, natural competitive advantage. Propolis an Effective Treatment for WartsThis lady reported that she, herself has had a personal experience that Propolis Tincture killed a plantar Wart that she had, and it has never come back. The International Journal of Dermatology has reported that in November of 2009, scientists found that Propolis shows strong activity against Warts. Also was reported that a cure was achieved in 75% and 73% of patients, respectively. After all, it still studies that are not listed here that testify about the amazing effects and benefits of Propolis. I am inclined to believe counting also my own experiences, that Propolis or anything that comes from the wonderful Bees is indeed a great miracle. With all the conclusions brought forth by scientists, I am convinced without a shred of a doubt that the bees are perfect beings and extremely necessary to our planet Earth! I hope that this information was useful for many of you. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do so and I will be very happy to give to you or answer anything that I can. If you have any more information about our beautiful friends, please allow me to get that information also. Thank you so much for your attention to my post.Warmly!Luzia Soares

Looking for a New Way

Posted on by

Looking for a new way of life…

Looking for a new way of life and going around this world being a better person, a better consumer, I Would say. If we have to change the way we think about what we eat, dress, clean…

Trying to engage in healthy habits, taking much more consideration in the way we do it. It’s always so hard for Mother Nature. It’s very hard, but, we do it with a little help from Nature itself, and obviously, some friends that think the same way as we do.

Trying to see things with Nature perspectives. How would you feel if you were Nature?

I was talking to a friend that told me about these supplements that are toxic-free and organic. This person couldn’t even trust the facilities that he has found because he wants to make sure that the product would not be contaminated.

He’s very much concerned about the quality.

He will not compromise the supplement. I like to hear things like that. He also keeps a follow up after you get it. Keeping in contact with you like a regular patient (emails, newsletters, etc… ) I have heard from him on Youtube, Dr. Gundry, MD. He’s the one with the Vital Reds and Prebiotics. Also, there is another Doctor, Dr. Sears MD. I will talk about it over on the Nutrition Page.

With everything that you do every day, time goes by so fast. We are always so busy.

Thinking of that I have decided to come up with this Website. making some solutions, like personal care products, House care, even women’s and men’s apparel, accessories, etc… Available for you and your loved ones.

We all had a green approach to everything we do. being good to our wonderful planet.

 

 

Put together these products certified organic, clean, and free of anything that could hurt you and obviously the Environment around you.

It’s kind of research that will never finish. it’s continuously going on. We have to separate good from the bad. Unfortunately, not everyone is100% honest in this business.

So we will be checking and learning every single day. It’s always changing too. A wide and complete selection. From moisturizer to Mattress and furniture. I am really trying to find everything that is not poisoning under the sun.

Making sure it’s authentic organic, being free of toxins. In this constant research, having problems sometimes with organic solutions and toxic-free products that are usually very expensive. I am also taking care of that too. I am trying to get inexpensive, original, and trustworthy at the same time.

On the way there I have found out about “Amazon”, I was very impressed to realize that they have a very good reputation, 100% Certified Organics, toxic-free solutions for you, your home, at a very special price.

I was so surprised to find out that it is not only less expensive but, very affordable! What a big difference! That, really kept me going deeper and deeper. You will see it! A simple click will take you to a whole page with amazing offers. Just give it a try. They really are very affordable. I have put in links throughout my pages of, Nutrition, Home Care, Personal Care, etc…

Think of the way, you are going to replace the bad solution for a good solution without spending so much money.

You also have options to buy the quantity that makes the products even less expensive! Amazing…

You are already …

You are already spending on things that are hurting you. We have to take a stand, and tell the manufacturers that don’t care whether they are hurting people to back off! Let’s give Health a Chance. Let’s all have a green approach! If we help ourselves, we are helping Nature.

I am doing this for me, for you, for a Natural way to live. The closest to Perfection that we can get. It’s around us. It’s everywhere. We just have to find it. What’s important, someone’s trying to do it for you, concentrating, focusing on Nature because it’s what we have in mind the whole time.

Engaging in something like that will help to preserve Nature.

As a way to be helping using her resources, the smart way, so we can use, but not “Abuse”. We are also not poisoning ourselves and loved ones. I will come up with some more information about the damages that all these products can cause to us and Nature.

I have been using these supplements myself. It’s the best that I have found in a long time. It really has taken me from waking up in the morning, every single day, feeling like I wasn’t ready to go on, to “I am ready”.

It’s really a huge difference. I would never recommend something to you that I haven’t checked it myself. The better it is, they don’t hurt you, but always make sure that if you have serious health issues, to speak with your primary physician about it, please!

Please, take a look at the highlighted words. They are links when you click it, they will take you to the Merchant’s page. It’s going to be on the Nutrition page and other pages ahead. They will do good for you, your family, and our Nature.

For our Planet that we love so much! thank you! Please, tell me what do you think?

 

Fox horrible demise

These Disgusting “Hunters” Let Their Hounds Rip a Live Fox to Shreds and It Was All Caught on Video.
Sign Now
Luzia,

For animal lovers, the idea of killing a fox — or any other animal for that matter — is revolting. Unfortunately, in many countries, including the United Kingdom, it is permitted under certain circumstances. For example, a nuisance fox may be killed, but only under strict guidelines. The law states that no fox can be killed using a pack of dogs. But that is exactly what happened in a small village in East Sussex recently, and the result was horrifying.

A video shot from a drone shows a group of hunters setting out on horseback with their pack of dogs in search of a fox. As the drone follows the hunt from above, the dogs begin to converge on a fox that is frantically running for its life.

The dozen or so dogs surround the fox, pounce upon it and begin tearing it to shreds. When animal activists finally got close enough to take a better look, they saw the aftermath of what could have only been a horrific death.

The fox’s head had been torn from its body, and the rest of its cadaver had thoroughly been chewed to shreds.

Traditional fox hunting — hunting foxes with hounds — has been banned for nearly 15 years in the majority of the UK. The practice was outlawed in Scotland in 2002, and two years later Wales and England followed suit. Now, the only hold out still supporting this heinous sport is Northern Ireland, but that doesn’t mean hunts don’t continue in the rest of the country.

Hunting parties all around the UK gather in secret with their hounds to let terror loose on their local fox population. Once the hounds get the scent of their prey, it is only a matter of time before the hunted ends up in the jowls of trained dogs.

If fox hunting with hounds is outlawed, then there is no excuse for this hunt and this gross display of cruelty. Those responsible must be caught and prosecuted.

Sign the petition and ask the East Sussex Police and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to make this case a priority and bring these poachers to justice.

Thank you,

Kelsey B.
The Care2 Petitions Team

P.S. A huge pack of dogs hunting and ripping apart a defenseless fox should never have been allowed. Sign the petition to ask DEFRA to make this a priority and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Slaughtered for their scales

The world’s most trafficked mammal is in danger of vanishing before most people ever have the chance to learn about it. The pangolin is a scaly mammal targeted for its meat as well as its scales — which are falsely believed to have healing properties. These same scales are intended to protect the animal against hungry predators, but they are no match against poachers who kill up to 2.7 million pangolins each year. Despite increased protections, pangolins are still trafficked by the tonne. This year has the dubious distinction of being record-breaking for pangolin seizures. In February, Malaysian authorities busted a pangolin-smuggling ring and intercepted nearly 30 metric tonnes of pangolin scales as well as frozen and live pangolins. Many more record busts followed, drawing renewed attention to the plight of the pangolin. As long as the demand for their scales grows, trade restrictions alone will not save them from extinction.
