Environmental Toxicity


About
The hazardous effect that a given compound of chemical has on the environment (soil, water, air) observed during environmental tests on the effects of the substance on aquatic and plant life.


Notes
  • Asbestos is extremely dangerous when it breaks down and fibers are released into the air.
  • Injections of liver extract have aided in good results in people.
  • Pots and pans leave food with metal residue. Some are harmful over time and others are good for you (cast-iron pots, for example).
  • Shampooing carpets can be harmful the top may be dry but the underneath is still damp and grow thousands of organisms.

It is highly important that you take steps to keep your body healthy overall. Below, we will recommend specific herbs/nutrients, but it is critical that you take a good multi vitamin.

We recommend VitaComplete. VitaComplete is a liquid product that you take each day. It contains not only essential vitamins and minerals but also herbs and other nutrients to keep your entire body healthy. You can save $10 on your first order with coupon code "VITACOMPLETE" at Vitabase.


Advice
  • Avoid using bug bombs or insect sprays.
  • Be careful about carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure appliances are well-ventilated. Don't run your car in the garage.
  • Consider getting an air filter or ionizer to purify the air you breathe. Animal odors, pollen, smog, smoke, bacteria, and dust will be taken out of the air.
  • Fiber is a necessary part of your diet. Oat bran, wheat bran, and apple pectin are good sources.
  • It is best to clean with nontoxic products. Look for natural alternatives to chemical mixtures.
  • Make sure your home is free of radon. Hire someone to come and check for radon, and then fix any leaks or cracks that will correct this problem.
  • Make sure your home is well-ventilated in order to avoid exposure to natural gas, radon, smoke, pesticides, and other chemicals. Make sure your flooring is made of exterior-grade plywood that is non-toxic instead of plywood that contains formaldehyde. Use a nontoxic sealant.
  • Scrape off loose paint. Be sure to use protective gear as needed as older paints have lead in them.
  • Stay away from smoke.
  • Steam-distilled water is recommended.
  • Vacuum bags should be changed regularly to ensure proper filtering.
