    From being a maid and constantly being around toxic cleaning products. I am now allergic and have auto immune disease! I am allergic to formaldehyde and all fragrances. So I live in isolation because of all the chemicals people use. Nurses uniforms washed in downy fabric softener, tide and dryer sheets give me a killer migranes. And even if you aren't allergic to it. It is TOXIC!

      Yes,the same. I've been bedridden by a bag of scented cat litter the supermarket substituted for what I ordered. Felt ill for days. And that was before I even used it. I had to put it outside until I felt well enough to carry it to the bins. I dont want my cat perfumed,why is it even perfumed?

    I cook my food in coconut oil usually.
    I love Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap. I make my cleaners out of it, and vinegar as well. My granite can’t have vinegar though so the soap is perfect.
    Also, ALWAYS spit coconut oil out in the trash or a tissue and throw it away. Never spit it in the drain. It hardens easily and clogs it up.

    Luv ya Axe... I've done much research and investigation of so called "fragrance" in personal care products including the worst offender, laundry. The NIH confirms that dryer exhaust, when using the top selling brands, including dryer sheets- emit 25 VOC's, 8 known as hazardous chemicals and 2 carcinogens. The so-called natural types containing "natural" fragrance were deemed as just as bad in this regard. I agree, they smell nasty. The best practice in this regard is to use products that simply are fragrance free rather than "organic". In addition, often when a shampoo for instance, has the word organic on the label, frequently contain chemical fragrance. When a label says the word "fragrance" or "parfum", it means that it is derived from petrochemical base. There are over 3000 of these chemicals and any product with the word "fragrance" contains an average of around 15 of these carcinogenic, hormone disrupting chemicals, some are even on the EPA's list of toxic waste! Make sure the scent in your products is derived from plants, not crude oil.

    Also, plants can purify the air in the room, ( snake mother in law's tongue:Considered highly efficient in oxygen production, the Snake Plant otherwise known as the Mother-In-Law’s Tongue, is unique for its nighttime oxygen production, and ability to purify air through the removal of benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene and toluene.) (chinese evergreen:The Chinese Evergreen is one of the most common household plants and for good reason. This plant emits a high oxygen content while purifying indoor spaces of harmful chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde and other toxins. As its name suggests, it is quite popular in China specifically for its high efficiency in removing harmful pollutants from the air.
    Recommendation & Care:
    The Chinese Evergreen does well in full shade, and only needs to be watered occasionally with a focus on keeping the soil moist. The number of plants kept is at the owner’s discretion.

      Listen I am a pensioner and the foods I buy are primarily organic. No there is no abundance of funds in my budget. But I do not suffer from any of the health problems of most my age. I have been following many of these recommendations since long before he began providing information.

      There's no way I could afford it either, but where there's a will, there's a way. If you bought one organic item per week, soon you would accumulate a good selection of organic products. Or you can put away a few dollars every week, until you have enough to buy. Keep doing that and you'll soon have a selection of great products!
