I am passionate about helping others reduce the chemicals in their homes just as I have. Chemicals are part of our lives. There are many reasons to be cautious about our exposure to some chemicals. From the foods we eat to how we maintain our yards and clean our homes, we can be exposed to chemicals in many ways. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only a small fraction of
the more than 84,000 registered chemicals have gone through complete testing for human health concerns. Some chemicals have immediate toxic effects. Others are toxic to our bodies only after repeated, long-term exposure. Children are especially susceptible to the negative effects of chemicals, warns the EPA’s Office of Children’s Health Protection. Pound for pound, children breathe more air, drink more water, and eat more food, and when they play, they crawl and put things in their mouths. As a result, children have an increased chance of exposure to potential pollutants, and because children’s bodies are still developing, they may process these pollutants differently from adults. I began reducing my exposure to chemicals in my home more than 20 years ago when I installed a water filter at my kitchen sink. I did the research and chose Multipure because of its NSF rating and how it improves the "Health" qualities of water by reducing tasteless contaminants like lead, benzene, MTBE, chloramines, and PCBs. I then moved to installing a shower filter. The water emergency of Flint, Michigan has affected thousands of men, women, and children, exposing them to massive levels of lead contamination along with other potentially dangerous contaminants in the water. And although for these Michigan residents, this was unforeseen on the individual level, I know that one of the best ways to prepare for such disasters is to spread knowledge and awareness of what is in your local water and the power of point-of-use water filtration. Join me on my journey to reduce the chemicals in our home by taking advantage of using the best products available to replace chemicals that compromise our health. Begin by installing the best drinking water and shower filter on the market - Multiure. Then examine everyday products you and your family uses that can be replaced by not only safe but essential oils that can can promote health and a chemical free home. I love, love the Young Living Essential Oils Thieves® products which I use to replace many products that have chemicals such as laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, hand soap, toothpaste, mouth wash, deodorant, wipes, hand purifiers, cleaning solutions, and much, more. I also diffuse Young Living Essential Oils in my home to purify the air and give everthing a fresh smell without the chemicals. I am here to help you. To Your Health,
