I have ranted many times about chemical stinks and that includes all perfumes that are not made from 100% ESSENTIAL OILS and nothing else. Most people don't know that their perfumes are full of formaldehyde, mold and yeast, let alone all the artificial chemicals used for manufacturing scent for cheap. They also don't know that this is a major cause of respiratory issues (such as asthma, allergies and worse), migraine headaches, lethargy, poor concentration, autoimmune-related illness, yeast infestations, infertility, and the list goes on. Don't even make me explain to you, dear readers, WHY so few people are aware of this connection. If you've gotten this far - to reading my humble offerings - then you know perfectly well that "it's all about the money" and peoples' health is not as important as corporate greed.
Unfortunately, too, corporations are allowed to lie all they want because of lobbyists and advertising dollars - again, truth is not important, only profits. It is the duty of the Aware Humans of Integrity to disengage from the use of chemical perfumes, not just for their own sake but for the sake of children, pets, and plants. Being environmentally responsible brings this issue to the forefront. If your home has Gl*de Pl*g-Ins, or Air-W*ck or L*sol, or any other version of home scenting that is mass-produced (privately or publicly) and is not made from 100% pure EDIBLE ingredients, then your home is poisonous to all who go there. It's not a matter of opinion. It's not a matter of taste. It is an extremely critical matter of home health! The ONLY safe ways to deodorize a home is- aside from certain plants such as Snake plants (aka Mother-in-Law's Tongue) - Air Purification from Negative-Ionizing machines (ie. Oreck), or by cold-air diffusion of food-grade essential oils (which also has a negative charge). My home has all three of these and absolutely zero chemicals. I don't even buy new furniture or toys because they off-gas and cause the types of symptoms I described in the first paragraph.
ALL toxic material in existence - including negative thought-forms - have a positive ionic charge. The ONLY way to reduce the toxic burden of pretty much everything man-made out there (again, mass-produced products of all kinds that are not made with the greatest good in mind) is to uptake as many negative ions as possible.
How do we get negative ions, aside from increasing air quality? Well, before I tell you, I'm going to emphasize Air Quality again, because of how important it is! Think of how many hours are spent breathing the air in your home. We consume hundreds of times the amount of air (in cubic gallons) than we do, say, water or food. People in my circles place quite an importance on the quality of food and water they consume, but are they keeping their air clean?
No home is a sanctuary unless it is a space of love, of providing safety on all levels, providing comfort on all levels - a soft place to fall, a warm bed in which to sleep, good food to eat, and, yes, clean air to breathe.
Okay, so I've made my point. Here are some tips on increasing your uptake of negative ions (a key to health empowerment, stress-prevention, and ultimately, clarity on all levels): You could go stand outside during a rainshower, or under a waterfall, or near a river, ... or you could increase the foods you know are highly beneficial (raw greens, primarily, as well as most fruits & vegetables in general), and you can take advantage of benevolent technologies such as energy machines from high-integrity companies like HTE, suppliers of the original CHI Machine, the Far-Infrared (FIR) Dome or "Hot House", and the Electro-Reflex Energizer; FIR technology can be found in quite a few forms and all give the body energy in the form of negative ions. NOTE: You can't get too many negative ions and any adverse reactions are due to instant detoxification / parasite die-off. We have a machine called the Aqua-Chi, and it's the only footbath detoxing machine I know of that does NOT alternative the negative ions with positive. I don't see why any should, but when we were making our decision four years ago on purchasing such a machine, the inventors of this particular model of ionic cleansing machines had the most extensive research on this technology. I will write more about this amazing beneficial technology another time.
So today I've decided to get involved in municipal politics, at least a little, to move forward with precedent regarding perfume-free environment laws in Weyburn, the town in which I permanently reside. Halifax, NS, has been publicly perfume-free for a number of years, and Weyburn already has a few facilities (ie. the Public Library, nursing homes and churches) that do not allow perfumes on the premises. I must protect babies - and Mother Gaia - from poison in the ways I know how! Speaking UP is my specialty, don'tcha know?
