Having trouble viewing this email? Click here Greetings! This week I was pleased to see that Suzanne Somers is now sounding the alarm about the dangers of toxic chemicals in her new book about weight loss. Toxic chemicals DO make us fat! (see below) Debra :-) HEALTH, HOME & HABITAT #267 ~ 18 January 2011 * DETOX YOUR BODY TO REMOVE TOXIC CHEMICALS * GREEN LIVING Q & A BLOG: new Q & As / new comments on previous Q & As * CLASSIFIED ADS "A toxic body will cause you to get fatter and fatter while a cleansed one stays slim and, best of all, healthy." That's what Suzanne Sommers says in her book Sexy Forever: How to Fight Fat After Forty. After struggling with her weight, Suzanne worked with a team of cutting edge doctors to find the hidden obstacles that were preventing her from losing weight. And the number one culprit behind excess body fat turned out to be the toxic burden our bodies have accumulated. Recommendation #1 from Suzanne in her book is detox. Get the toxic chemicals out of your home and out of your body. In her latest weight-loss book, Suzanne tell how toxic chemicals we are exposed to every day are sabotaging our health and body weight. "We are slowly killing ourselves," she says. "It's that important and that drastic. A toxic body is not only extremely unhealthy, but also has a slowed metabolism. "We must accept that the world has changed. Toxicity is slowly killing us and these new changes in the environment as well as our food supply...are the reason we've hit a wall not only in our wellness, but also in trying to lose weight. Now is the time to readjust how we handle these changes. The toxicity is not going away. "Your grandparents had less stress, ate cleaner food, and their chemical exposure was nearly unheard of. Yet, as more and more of us were introduced to chemicals, we got sicker and fatter." If you have been unsuccessful at losing weight removing toxic chemicals from your body may be just the thing that will release the fat. I have been taking activated liquid zeolite detox drops with great success, and have found these to be the easiest, gentlest, most effective detox of all I have researched. Made simply from a natural mineral and purified water, these tasteless drops remove toxic metals and chemicals from your cells directly, regardless of the condition of your body's own detoxification system. It has truly been amazing to see the difference in my own body and health when I began to detox. In my opinion, everyone alive on the planet today who is interested in good health should do it. Here are the questions and new comments posted through this morning. Remember, you are welcome to share your own comments and experience in response to any of these questions, and post questions of your own.

Non-Toxic Home *BUYING* Hi Debra, We are going to be looking into buying a house soon, for the very first time. I want to go beyond the basic assessments done when purchasing a house to make sure it's as non toxic as possible, prior to any remodeling on our parts. I wonder if you can point me in a good direction or a past post on this website, or a website with this information. Additionally, if this hasn't been covered here, what are some key points on purchasing a less toxic home? What should we look for? What should we have tested/inspected? I know, for example, that a lot of older homes have lead issues, but they also, according to some, have fresher air due to better circulation of outside air b/c of their leaky windows. thoughts? I want to go in eyes wide open, rather than having to do a lot of costly clean up after the fact. Building isn't an option right now, b/c we likely won't be here longer than 3-4 years. Thank you so much for helping us start this journey and Happy New Year!

Both are outside the U.S. though, one in the UK, the other in Iceland. www.woolovers.us www.nordicstore.net I have ordered 2 sweaters from woolovers and a hat and gloves from nordicstore and am waiting with anticipation for them to arrive. Both orders already shipped. I find it hard in the U.S. to come across real 100% wool clothing that doesn't cost a month's salary and is still manufactured in a sweat shop, be it in China or elsewhere. The closest I could come to real and authentic on the American continent is this: www.native-languages.org/clothing.htm Their wool sweaters are wonderful and handknit and just what you want in a cold winter but of course cost accordingly. I found another website with great deals if one spends some time searching through all their products: www.sierratradingpost.com/ I bought a pair of +100% boiled wool slippers made in Austria, some 100% angora wool bed socks made in Germany, and a 100% cashmere scarf made in the UK. I stocked up on all my heavy winter socks here: www.wigwam.com/AboutUs.aspx All made in the U.S.A. And finally I bought some 100% wool and 100% cotton long underwear here: www.vermontcountrystore.com/products.html Maybe this helps someone else to also finally find what they've been looking for in a long time, without breaking the bank.

Vacuum with Sealed Hepa System We have a one floor home mostly carpet and some tile (which usually mop not vacuum). We are considering a Hoover Platinum bagged upright w/cannister (model UH30010com). We need something light because I'm not good w/heavy/cumbersome things. It has a HEPA filter and gets excellent reviews (for dust control and other issues) on Amazon, priced in the low to mid $200's. It has a self sealing bag to contain the dust when emptying it, but my question is: is this effectively the same as a "Sealed HEPA System"? We're not super allergic to dust but do want to reduce it substantially. I didn't want to go too expensive because down the road (not for awhile though) we hope to get rid of the carpet and have hard wood floors installed. The canister is for dusting, furniture and bare floors. Any thoughts or experience? Thanks very much. Read the answer... vacuum cleaners I am trying to find a good HEPA vacuum. I like the Miele series 7, but they all have "integrated PVC bumpers" to protect your furniture, etc... Does it matter that there are PVC bumpers? I've heard to avoid anything with PVC, so should I stay away from these vacuums in my home? Read the answer... Good air filter for cigarette smoke entering apartment and other vent questions I have lived in my apartment for five years and have been searching a lot for a nonsmoking place to live. I am in Placentia, California, 62 years of age, a cancer survivor and want to live a healthy life. The one apartment that I found is very expensive and I may just have to stay where I am. My concerns regarding staying are that there are many smokers here. Last year the lady downstairs smoked continuously and I could smell this at all hours. It gets hot in the summer and had to close window. I then was concerned about air conditioning and the smoke getting through the vents. Yes, she has moved, but what if someone else moves in and smokes, or their visitors? There are cigarette butts all around the property and management will not agree to banning smoking inside, outside and all around because there are too many smokers here. They do not want to lose money, although I see quite a few vacancies. (I have talked and explained all the pros of having this a nonsmoking property, but they just want to get people in and keep them). I would be gone if I had family around or could find a place suitable. If I end up signing the lease in two weeks then what "really good air filter" can I get to rid the air of the toxins from the smoke. Smokers pass by the apartment so I do still get this. Does the smoke really travel through vents? I read that it does all the time and then someone will tell me that that is ridiculous and that apartments are all individual units and that the vents are not joined. Is this the case sometimes? Would appreciate any suggestions on "Good air filter" for getting rid of the toxins from smoke. Second issue: I walk down a hallway to get to the elevator and there is a perfumed odor. A resident told me that they put air fresheners in the vents because someone had complained about the smell. Third: The laundry room smells of chemicals after just being cleaned. I take a bit bottle of vinegar and clean what I can before washing and drying. Community laundry rooms are going to have this issue all over. If a pet vomits on the sheets, which has happened here, and other issues then these sheets are put in the washers. Also people use bleach and dryer sheets and the odor is throughout the whole hallway and is inhaled while on the way to the elevator. I want so much to move, but I cannot find a place. There are many many apartments, but not a healthy one. Does anyone know of a healthy living situation in Orange County, California? Do not need assisted living, etc., but independent living.

Our Inalienable Right to Food Just before Christmas 2010, the Senate passed ‘food safety’ bill H.R.2751, previously S. 510, that will put the FDA in control of the nations food supply. Vermont citizens have made a declaration that the agency and government have no right to determine or restrict the food choices of the People of Vermont. “The Vermont Resolution for Food Sovereigntyâ€, written by the Vermont Coalition for Food Sovereignty, it makes a statement to the United States government and the FDA that I wholeheartedly support. That we can grow and share food is an inalienable right that cannot be taken away. The Vermont Resolution for Food Sovereignty WHEREAS All people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and WHEREAS Food is human sustenance and is the fundamental prerequisite to life; and WHEREASThe basis of human sustenance rests on the ability of all people to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products; and WHEREAS We the People of Vermont, have an obligation to protect these rights as is the Common and Natural Law; and in recognition of the State’s proud agricultural heritage; and the necessity of agricultural, ecological and economic diversity and sustainability to a free and healthy Society; THEREFORE, Be it resolved, that We The People, stand on our rights under the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution and reject such Federal decrees, statutes, regulations or corporate practices that threaten our basic human right to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products within the State of Vermont; and, Be it further resolved, that We The People, shall resist any and all infringements upon these rights, from whatever sources that are contrary to the rights of the People of the State of Vermont.
