Everything effects everything.

Everything effects everything…hmmmm…interesting!

The premise of this blog today, will be just that, that ‘Everything effects everything’…a very very empowering and conscious-enlivening notion!

FACTS: 
1. No one, not anybody, not any person knows why a fibroid seeds itself within the muscularture of the uterus only ‘to bloom or not to bloom’ (that is the question) into a fiendishly ferocious fibroid!! However, fibroids are at the mercy of hormones and the endocrine system…and that’s a good/bad thing, depending!!
2. Every single day, each and everyone of you (and ALL life-forms) may come in contact with (all or some of) the 80,000 chemicals that abound within this earthly-stew!! And thousands (1000′s) of these chemicals have the potential (separately or in combination with eachother) to raise complete havoc with the endocrine, reproductive and other ‘naturally’-working systems in LIFE!

WOW! Omygoodnessgracios!!! Do you still believe FACT #1. ~~ that nobody knows why fibroids are ‘born’…hmmm?
And just to really nail this premise home, these thousands and thousands of chemicals that interact with us daily are NOT regulated (or labeled) and certainly have not been tested (for safety) when ‘mixed’ with each other!! Perhaps the body (and other life-forms) can handle, without any lasting harm, each (one) chemical at a time. Perhaps! But bit-by-bit-by-bit-by-bit of chemical exposure can push the body over the edge into the land of ill-health!! That is the real problem, the constant gnawing and bombardment of these chemicals every single day! Alittle bit of ‘poison’ is okay, but not this constant onslaught…and an unclear, unwritten and unlabeled onslaught, at that!
‘”I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!” Remember this line in the movie “Network”?…well, this is exactly my sentiment…only, we ARE gonna do something about it!
Through my gardening I have learned (many moons ago,) that you do not need to use chemicals (ever,) IF you strenghthen the host…keep the plant  healthyand it will ’take care of itself’!!! This ’lesson’ has been woven into every aspect of my life, and the obvious carryover to humans, is at the core of dis-ease/health.
Sooooooo, after this rather lengthy set-up, the following is a list of pro-active things/ideas that YOU can do (today!) that will help the planet and YOU…all at once…to stay strong-’n-healthy! Everything effects Everything! (Remember??)

1. Use white vinegar as your sole cleaning product. It works like a charm on every surface (not wood) and its inexpensive and not the least bit harmful…stop using chemicals, pleeeeez!
2. Make a mixture of alcohol (3 parts) and witch hazel (1 part)…use this as a hand sanitizer, only! There are very very harmful chemicals (mostly unlabeled!) in those ’other’ drugstore handwashes!
3. Use lemon (yes lemon) and/or baking soda (yes baking soda) as a SAFE and affective deodorant. It’s cheap, and it works without any harmful chemicals.
4. If you insist on getting clothes dry-cleaned, let them air out in a well ventilated spot for several days to allow the off-gas of toxic chemicals to neutralize. Putting them directly in your closet (in your bedroom) is so harmful!
5. I love bugs!! But if you don’t want them in your house, use boric acid or bay leaves (for the tiny ants), as those household insect sprays are pure death…for you, too!!
6. Water…[sigh]…this is a real problem as there are so many ‘allowable’ chemicals, as well as those that aren’t allowed, that seep into the aquifer (water) system. Oh, for example; dioxin, triclosin, the “pill” and other pharmaceuticals that manage to poison our water supply. Get a home filter system, and stop using those BPA plastic bottles…they are killing you, us, the animals and the ocean…[sigh] It drives me koo-koo to see people with those plastic bottles. Buy a re-usable stainless waterbottle carrier, it’s so much more sensible and health-affirming!!
7. Cooking in those non-stick pots and pans is a bozo-no-no, for sure! Cast iron, ceramic, stainless or glass is your healthiest choice.
8. Buy organic whenever possible…but especially when ‘fat’ is involved ~~ie: protien sources and oils and butters, as toxins tend to nestle and remain in fats!
9. Do you really have to eat those mammals that are so intelligent and high-up on the food chain? Even the fish, the higher-up on the food chain, the more toxins.
10. Stay away from canned ANYTHING…the linings are BPA-toxic and leach out into your food!! (More on this endocrine-disrupting BPA subject in another blog…so much info!) Make food from scratch…it’s easy and much tastier and cheaper!!

Well, that’s it for today, as there are thousands and thousands more of  those endocrine-disrupting chemicals that I could talk about…but…just remember to keep it simple, it’s how nature intended AND life-supporting. Oh, and…Everything effects everything (including YOU)!!!!!!
