I want to take a few minutes to expand on my last article about keeping our children away from household poisons. Here are some products and what effect they have proven to have on our health.
~Air fresheners-toxic, may cause cancer, irritates nose throat and lungs
~Bleach-toxic by swallowing, vapors are harmful, causes sentral nervous system disorders, has been liked to ADD and ADHD.
~Fabric Softener-may cause cancer, causes central nervous system disorders, causes liver damage.
~Furniture Polish-causes central nervous system disorders and may cause lung cancer.
~Window Cleaner-Toxi, causes central nervous system disorders, causes liver and kidney disorders.
These are just a few products that most of have in our household every single day. And it's not just ingesting them that causes these issues, it is just being around them, using them. How can we make our lives and our futures healthier? I have a solutions. Let's make the switch to using all natural products. I would be happy to help you through it all. I use a lot of all natural products, and I cannot believe the difference it has made in my sons asthma. And my other child's ecxema. Join me everyone. Feel free to post your interest here for me, send me a message, or email me at epenner84@earthlink.net

That's why I said that I will not use anything but YoungLiving products.
Even tooth paste can be verY toxic for young children.
Have you noticed that the laudry soap people do not put a list of ingredients on their products. They say its protected since these are "secret" formulas. They will not give you the ingredient list.

We almost only use vinegar, baking soda, bleach, cloth rags which are washable. Good old dish soap and laundry soap are also used. We also strive to be clean without eliminating most bio contaminates since it is a balance we strive for and not a totally clean environment. It would be difficult being in the country anyway.
