Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks Lew for this post... I do eat organic food...I would say 90% of what i eat is organic. I don't cook anything on teflon :-) After researching bromide I will have our well water tested. And I'm seriously considering changing my clothes all to organic cotton after watching a you tube video The Toxins Return. As for avoiding pesticides and herbicides..I live in FARM country. This has been an issue since I got diagnosed with the autoimmune issues. How did life get do damn complicated?? So instead of not taking any iodoral or prolamine iodine I should find a level that works for me? one that doesn't cause the heart beat to drop out...that makes sense. So the halogens can't take root. I've worked really hard to heal my body...guess I need to gear up for another level eh? :-) Amy > < This stuff is not that easy to understand.> > " Though ocean-borne plastic trash has a reputation as an > indestructible, immortal environmental villain, scientists announced yesterday > that some plastics actually decompose rapidly in the ocean.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Air filters in the home can help remove some of the farming chemicals that get air-born, so that you don't wind up breathing them & eating them inside your own home. And even an inexpensive water filter can get SOME of the crud out of your water. You don't have to make your situation perfect to make it better.AnneOn Dec 12, 2010, at 3:55 PM, Amy/728207 wrote: Thanks Lew for this post...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yes! Too often we stay attached to the perfect and don't realize that any improvement is that much better. Each increment of improvement makes a difference. Once you get your well tested, I know of a water filter company that makes filters for individual toxins(including arsenic) for wells, and will even make a custom filter for a specific set of problems. The company is called Crystal Quest. -- >Air filters in the home can help remove some of the farming chemicals that >get air-born, so that you don't wind up breathing them & eating them >inside your own home.
