I am VERY concerned about the toxins and poisons in our homes. Are you?
Hiding in your home to stay healthy does NOT work if you are like most people and have ordinary products in your home that contain toxins you did not recognize on the label.
MY MISSION IS TO CONVERT EVERY HOME TO NON-TOXIC PRODUCTS!
We all know that illegal drugs are bad but did you know that your legal drugs can hurt you, too?!?!?
Did you know the highest number of calls to the poison control centers is from people either accidentally overdosing on their medications or taking a toxic combination of medicines.
How many times have you taken a Tylenol or Advil because of a headache or muscle soreness not realizing that combining that with your regular meds can have an adverse effect?
We frequently hear that we are not supposed to take meds with alcohol in our system but how many of us really give that much credence? Take a look at the stats in this report and you will start paying more attention.
I am not advocating that we all stop taking our prescription medicines cold turkey BUT 
wouldn’t it be great if we started taking better care of ourselves and were able to eradicate the reason we are taking those meds and either reduce the dose or eliminate those meds entirely?
Looking at the statistics, it really bothers me to see that poisonings in the age range of 13-19 are INTENTIONAL. Why is that?
Is it because we are keeping too many prescription drugs in our homes that kids can abuse?
Is it because we don’t make an effort to have quality family time and listen to what is going on in their lives?
Is it because there is so much negativity on TV and the internet?
Have people lost HOPE?
Converting our homes to non-toxic products and taking better care of our bodies can strengthen our immune systems so we can fight off the thousands of toxins we are exposed to every day.
A healthy home is a happy home! 
Your family will THANK YOU for taking control of your home environment to keep them safer and healthier!
