See book keywords and concepts |  Possible allergens and irritants include insect bites, cosmetics, perfumes, detergents, and household cleaners. Certain foods may also trigger an allergic response. Shellfish are notorious for causing hives, but dairy, meat, and poultry are frequent instigators as well. Any food made with additives, preservatives, or pesticides may also produce a reaction. Some people with chronic or recurring cases of hives find that their triggers are frustratingly ubiquitous: heat, cold, sunlight, and stress have all been known to bring on a rash.
Drugs and viruses can also cause hives. |

See article keywords and concepts |  This product is a replacement for dozens of household cleaners, and it really works. I'm going to be buying more of this myself. I'll be using it in my laundry as an antibacterial orange-scented liquid to add to the natural laundry detergent that I use right now. So, it's TKO Orange, and this is definitely a best of show product. I highly recommend this and it's definitely at the top of my list. Available at www.TkoOrange.com.
NingXia juice
Another one of my top choice products here at the show is NingXia juice. This is a superfruit juice concentrate. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The chemicals in the household cleaners we use; the overuse of antibiotics and other drugs; the antibiotics, pesticides, and myriad additives present in the foods we eat; and exposure to environmental pollutants all place a strain on the immune system. Another factor that adversely affects the immune system is stress. Stress results in a sequence of biochemical events that ultimately suppresses the normal activity of white blood cells and places undue demands on the endocrine system, as well as depleting the body of needed nutrients. | | Chemicals are a major cause of hives for many people; anything from perfumes to household cleaners can trigger a reaction, as can nervous conditions, stress, certain foods, and alcohol.
Viruses also can cause hives. Hepatitis B and Epstein-Barr virus, the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis, are the two most common culprits. Some bacterial infections likewise can cause outbreaks of hives, both chronic and acute. An association between Candida albicans and chronic hives has been established in several clinical studies over the past twenty years. |

See book keywords and concepts | | A good rule of thumb is to stay away from any substance that releases iumes: Nail polish remover, hair spray, gasoline, household cleaners, and dry-cleaning solvent are all dangerous. Establish a healthy relationship with the sun. You need about fifteen minutes of sunshine a day to keep your body prolonged exposure can result in in proper working order, but sunburn and skin cancer. (The sun is, after all, a source of radiation. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Until we remove the toxic load from our foods, drugs, household cleaners, medications, cosmetics, personal care products and work environments, we will continue to die from preventable diseases and give birth to mutant babies who may never have the opportunity to experiencing a life free of disease.
Pharmaceuticals will never, ever save us. No matter how many billions of dollars are poured into cancer research, there will never emerge a genuine solution unless we stop giving ourselves cancer in the first place. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  By the way, I don't mean to leave out all those chemical companies manufacturing pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, toxic household cleaners and toxic personal care products. A lot of those skincare companies are really just chemical manufacturers with sexy marketing and lots of women in lab coats selling you products that actually harm your health; that literally contain ingredients that cause cancer and liver disease. People think our economy is booming, but we're all dying of chronic disease. Why is it that 50 percent of our senior citizens in the United States have high blood pressure? |

See book keywords and concepts | | This category of environmental estrogens includes plastics, detergents, household cleaners, pesticides, herbicides, and hormones found in meat products. In addition, studies have shown immune system imbalance to be a factor. Specifically, women with endometriosis have higher levels of antibodies that target their own ovaries and endometrial tissue. They also tend to have lower activity of the natural killer cells that usually keep abnormal cells in check. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They know that they need help from someone who has in depth knowledge about the chemicals found in construction materials, furnishings, upholstery, carpets, drapes, mattresses, screens, household cleaners or scented personal products but the challenge is to find someone who is capable.64 It can be difficult to find a qualified informed company that is reputable and knows how to properly do a comprehensive environmental inspection. The company hired to evaluate a home or building must be able to test for many types and levels of allergenic substances, toxic molds and bacteria. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid solvents and odorous household cleaners and disinfectants, tobacco smoke, mothballs, and insect sprays. If the outside air is reasonably clean, good ventilation helps to minimize the problem of indoor air pollution.
• New synthetic materials have a tendency to accumulate static electricity that can reduce our well-being in addition to releasing toxic chemicals. Synthetic materials (as well as television sets) also lower the amount of beneficial negative ions in the indoor air. Negative ions are energetic molecules with additional electrons in the air. |

There are power strips and push buttons of all kinds; we can now sit in one place and turn things on and off—but not the sun yet! Yet, we try it with one another. |
Kevin Trudeau
See book keywords and concepts |  This article explained how ALL household cleaners are chemicals that are incredibly toxic. The all can be fatal if they get into your body. They get into your body through the skin, through the fumes that you inhale, and of course, by accidentally drinking. Most people won't die immediately by inhaling the fumes, but this article points out that several people did die immediately because they mixed several of these cleaners together, which made the concentration of the chemical toxins so severe that it caused instantaneous death. |

Precautions: FDA states GRAS (generally recognized as safe) when used for intended purposes. A poison and severe irritant to mouth and throat when large amounts are swallowed.
Synonyms: CAS 1336-21-6 ? AMMONIA AQUEOUS ? AMMONIA SOLUTION ? AQUA AMMONIA ammonium nitrate
Products and Uses: Commonly found in agricultural products such as fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides. Used in manufacture of fireworks and matches. It is in the freezing mixture ingredients in picnic coolers. |

"If you go to any major meeting on chemical sensitivity, there are representatives from the perfume, carpet, and chemical industries," says Claudia Miller. "They're extremely concerned about the outcome of this debate."
That's where Ronald Gots comes in. Gots (who explained the similarities between MCS and autointoxication; see chapter 4) is an active player in the drama. |

See book keywords and concepts | | But organic solvents are not limited to the industrial workplace. Many household cleaners contain these same chemicals, including stain and spot removers, degreasers, paint and varnish removers, drain cleaners, and septic system cleaners. How often people thoughtlessly empty a jar of old paint remover down the drain and into the septic system, into a nearby ditch, or in a corner of their yard! Once we understand the general principles of the water cycle and drinking water sources, can we ever use and discard hazardous materials without thinking through the environmental consequences? | | This waste is from household products such as used motor oil, old car batteries and car wax, household cleaners, empty spray paint cans, old paint and solvent cleaners, weed killers, and pesticides. Although we will not find the word "hazardous" written on most household products, these products are as hazardous as regulated industrial waste. Rat poison is extremely dangerous to humans; oven cleaner is corrosive; and paint thinner and cleaner is ignitable and toxic. The average household stores from 3 to 10 gallons of hazardous waste. |
Janet Zand, LAc, OMD, Allan N. Spreed, MD, CNC, James B. LaValle, RPh, ND
See book keywords and concepts |  Never store nonfood items such as household cleaners in empty food containers. This can lead to dangerous mistakes.
ž If you have a chronic medical condition such as diabetes, a seizure disorder, or severe allergies to certain drugs or other substances, obtain a Medic Alert bracelet or pendant and wear it at all times. Should you become ill and unable to speak for yourself, this will ensure that you get appropriate care. (See Medic Alert below).

See book keywords and concepts | | These programs typically accept pesticides, household cleaners, paints and paint products, automotive products, batteries, solvents, aerosol products, acids, waste oil, and pharmaceuticals (see Box 19.6).
Box 19. | | Ammonia
Common in many household cleaners for its grease-cutting properties, ammonia can irritate the skin, causing rashes, redness, and chemical burns. Ammonia should be used in a well-ventilated area because the fumes can also irritate the eyes and lungs. Ammonia can also cause severe damage if it splashes in your eyes; it can also damage other body parts in industrial-strength concentrations. Never mix ammonia with chlorine bleach because the resulting chlo-ramine fumes are very toxic. | | Countless household cleaners, nail and hair products, and office supplies contain toxic ingredients that can poison if they are swallowed, inhaled, or touched to the skin.
Other times, exposure to a consumer product can cause long-term, chronic health problems. For example, perchloroethylene, a common dry-cleaning chemical, can depress the central nervous system, causing dizziness and nausea, and has been found to cause cancer in animals. | | Keep household cleaners and personal-care products in their original containers with the appropriate label explaining treatment in case of accidental poisoning.
• Always turn pot handles toward the back of the stove when cooking, so that a small child can't pull them over.
• Tie cords from coffee makers, toaster ovens, and other appliances, or fasten wires along the wall with tape or insulated staples.
• Install safety latches on kitchen cabinets and drawers, especially those containing knives and other dangerous utensils. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The Chemical Menace Ironically, in the United States today you are far more likely to breathe some of the most debilitating compounds—like methylene chloride, tetrachloro-ethylene, lead arsenate, or mercury—from pesticides, aerosol sprays, paints, and household cleaners at home. Indoor pollution from radon, household chemicals, pesticides, and other products can reach levels five times higher than in the grimiest air outside.
This development is fairly recent in our history. |

See book keywords and concepts |  When one is pregnant, special care should be taken to avoid exposure to toxic ingredients found in such items as chemical hair dyes, household cleaners, paint and paint fumes, thinners, solvents, benzene, dry cleaning fluid, wood preservatives, and pesticides. Radiation (e.g., from X rays) is to be avoided, especially during the first trimester. It should go without saying that cigarettes, alcohol, and recreational drugs are to be avoided as well.
Toxic surroundings are also harmful. Negative people and aggravating situations cause stress. |

Chemical Products
Many potential cancer-causing chemicals are in our homes: paints, harsh solvents; commercial deodorants; hair-coloring; the chemicals from air fresheners; oven, carpet, and other household cleaners; building materials; insect repellents; dry-cleaned clothes; deodorizers; and disinfectants.
In the 1930s, benzene was introduced as a cleaning agent. My grandfather, who was an Italian tailor, died from acute leukemia, which he contracted by working with this harmful chemical. |
David Brownstein
See book keywords and concepts |  We are exposed to a variety of chemicals (from common household cleaners to pesticides to food additives) every day. Our body has to process all of these chemicals and remove harmful substances from our system. The removal of harmful substances from our body is a two-stage process that begins in the liver. First the chemical substance is rendered harmless in the liver, and then the chemical substance is removed from the body by one of three ways: sweating, stool or urination.
Problems develop when our detoxification pathways become overwhelmed as a result of overexposure to harmful chemicals. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The CLI is a voluntary partnership between the Environmental Protection Agency, other government agencies, companies that make and distribute household cleaners, insecticides, and pesticides, and consumer groups. The goal of the CLI is to put consumers' needs first — helping them to find, read, and understand labeling information so they can compare household products and use these products safely and effectively. Presently, the CLI is investigating what information about ingredients consumers want and need on labels for pesticides and various household cleaning products. |

See book keywords and concepts |  I also could not tolerate certain things in my home, such as the smell of vinyl shades, the polyester in the bedspread, cigarette smoke, household cleaners, etc. I was also allergic to dust, mold, and mildew, and most of the time I walked around with a mask on. I was unable to work, and after my husband and I had spent our life savings on orthodox medical treatments which failed to eliminate my problems, I consulted a natural healing practitioner."

See book keywords and concepts |  People are constantly exposed to products containing harmful substances that the body cannot properly break down: pesticides, gasoline, paints, industrial waste, household cleaners, smog, food preservatives, and dry-cleaning chemicals. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), more than 400 toxic chemicals have been identified in human tissue.24 Certain pesticides like malathion, diazinon, and dursban accumulate in the nervous system and can cause brain disease, motor dysfunction, and psychological disturbances. |
