Safer Alternatives - General
                                   The Importance of Choosing Non-Toxic Safer Alternatives                                     

 

We all need to care about human health and environmental health, our own health, the health of our neighbours, family and friends; and the health of our precious children and all children. And yes, we all need to care about everyone else also!
Remember, every shop, supermarket et al are packed with a huge range of toxic chemicals; they are only interested in sales.
It is up to us to protect our own health and the health of others by refusing to buy and choosing chemical-free alternatives.

When the demands for these alternatives is high enough it sends a strong message to the manufacturers and suppliers; that the people are waking up and want chemical free alternatives.


We must all implement chemical-free alternatives as much as possible to reduce our exposures to such a broad range of chemicals.
If we apply the Precautionary Principle - we have a much greater chance for a healthy and happy global population.

Act now and reduce this heavy reliance on so many chemicals in our lives before it is way too late.

Safer Cleaning Tips:

Borax, baking soda and vinegar together at the same time. There is a reaction for a few seconds as it bubbles up but then it settles down. There are no hazards associated with it that I am aware of. Use this same mixture for cleaning many things i.e. bathtub, sink, floors, laundry, stubborn stains etc.

To clean out slow drains before they clog completely: Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down drain and then pour a cup of vinegar afterward. The bubbling action will eat away at built up grease. Follow with copious amounts of hot water. This may need to be done several times if the build up is heavy.

Baking soda can also be used as an underarm deodorant.

Any kind of fragrance-free hand soap can be used to lather up before shaving.

A can of Coke is great for cleaning toilets. Pour in, let stand and then brush clean and flush.

A teaspoon of baking powder in a bucket of water will give streak-free clean windows.

Grapefruit Seed Extract in water is another great disinfectant as is colloidal silver.

Cleaning the Home

The Easy Guide to Natural Cleaning

Safe and effective cleaning ideas:

Natural cleaning or ‘green cleaning’ is a way to clean your home with fewer cleaning products and safer
alternatives – producing less waste and reducing the need for harmful chemicals.

Most homes contain many more household cleaners than we really need. These cleaners create
packaging waste that is disposed in landfill and the chemicals in the cleaning products can damage
human health and the environment.

But we don’t need to use all these cleaning products to have a clean house. To clean well, cheaply and
safely throughout the home, all you need are the following basic ingredients (plus a little elbow grease).


Air Purifiers by AllerAir

All Natural & Fragrance Free Products
Dakota Free Products are manufactured by In the Potter’s Hand Inc., a family-owned, farm-based business located on the beautiful North Dakota prairie. These unique products were born of necessity after a pesticide poisoning caused severe health problems for our family. Coping with these health problems led us in a diligent search for quality, natural and fragrance-free replacements for the many perfumed and synthetic products we could no longer use. Disappointed with the natural products we could buy, we eventually developed our own natural skin care line, bath products and insect repellent alternatives.

Arctic Mosquito Killing System
Safe and quiet, the MKS is the most effective way to combat your existing mosquito problem without the need for potentially harmful pesticides or chemicals.  In addition, the MKS does not attract beneficial insects, which are good for the environment. Devloped with technical assistance from NASA.

We are a nutritional biochemistry laboratory measuring vitamin and mineral levels, toxic metals, other biochemical levels that are related to the availability of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and we also have an extensive range of profiles for assessing the effects of twenty-first century lifestyles on our bodies.

We are dedicated to assisting doctors sort out their patients' problems in a way that does not rely on drugs as a first line of treatment. We have an intrinsic respect for the Wisdom of Nature and of each human being who, by virtue of their circumstances, has become a patient - one who suffers.

Brief History of Organic Movement

Btoxic Free
Reducing chemical exposure

Making the decision to reduce your chemical exposure is a sensible choice.

The easiest place to start is in your own home.

1.  Use personal care products that contain no toxic ingredients, and are carcinogen free.
     e.g. creams, deodorants, shampoos, conditioners etc .

2.  Remove harmful chemicals you use in and around the home e.g. cleaning agents such as
     bathroom cleaners, window cleaners, fly sprays, pesticides etc. Store paints, varnishes and the
     like outside, away from the house in suitable containers. Use non toxic, environmentally safe
     or natural products.

3.  Be mindful of other unsuspected potential sources of chemical exposure and where possible aim
     to reduce it. See the link for detailed suggestions. e.g., these include eating certified
     organic/bio dynamic food, drinking filtered water, using a shower filter*, avoiding plastic etc.

Cherub Rubs

Clymer Healing Center
This is the Website of a real, functioning organizational concept that has, since 1957, been devoted to the investigation and application of those things that heal the sick and prevent disease in the well. We look upon healing as a far different matter than the mere treatment of disease symptoms or the surgical removal of disease manifestations. Long before there were “Holistic” doctors we were there. Long before it was popular to be an “alternative” practitioner we were healing by alternative methods, and we feel that long after these terms are forgotten we will still be healing the “unhealable” and curing the “incurable.”
