Outright scary stuff! Killer GMO grass? Whatever happened to the sanctity of “grass fed” beef? Now that we know that “grass” is also GMO? Why in the first place plant GMO grass? Have all these farmers gone insane? 15 out of 18 cows killed in a few hours of eating the GMO grass? Is this a horror movie? Or something much worse? The farmer says he has been planting GMO grass for 15 years!Continue Reading
Why I Switched to Organic Vegetables from Baguio Vegetables
In the past years we’ve been trying to get all healthy, organic food, organic / wild meat and fish, organic vegetables. But those times when I felt lazy enough not to make that weekly trip to the organic farmer, I just gave money to our maids to let them buy regular “Baguio Vegetables” from the nearest talipapa or market. But only this summer in April 2012 we made that Mountain Province trip and went around to where the “Baguio Vegetables” are actually grown. Somewhere around Mount Data and this is what we saw…Continue Reading
Indoor Pollution Avoidance: Coffee for Wood Stain and Beeswax for Wood Finish on the High Ceiling
In 2009, a great flood caused by Typhoon Ondoy ravaged our village and submerged our 1 story home in fine grained mud. As we struggled to get back up on our feet as our loved ones survived, I had to move my office which was in the same village, and we lost a car and all our belongings, we had the house cleaned, but for some reason missed the 6 inch gap between the indoor ceiling and the roof.
This mental lapse came at a cost to our health as the indoor air pollution finally caught up with us as family members were getting sickly. We finally traced illnesses to the mud that got stuck in between the indoor ceiling and the roof… now fine fine dust trickling down to our indoor air.
To survive in that home I resorted to buying an expensive dedicated air cleaner apparatus and a 3m filter in our air conditioner. The children and my wife avoided that house and stayed in the adjacent house instead. We were getting ready to have the house ceiling fixed when our son got into a health disaster which was in the making for many years due to incompatibility with regular cooked food… our resources and attention were diverted. Now that our son is almost well, we point our attention to the ceiling repairs.
The carpentry work has been completed. The carpenters brought down 8 sacks of mud / dust from the ceiling. Wow! That much. That much can make anyone sick.
Now for the finishing. But of course we wanted complete indoor pollution avoidance. We know that oil based wood stains are toxic. And common varnish is toxic. My wife’s nose will definitely notice for months. Unacceptable. I scrounged the internet for non-toxic brands, I went to the local builders store and they had nothing non-toxic. So those commercial non-toxic options are still not available here in Manila? It was to time to make our own.
A few more searches and I came up with using instant coffee for wood stains! Wow. Cheap! And non-toxic. We tried it on a sample wood board, it works!
For the wood finish, the choice was 1 part beeswax and 4 parts olive oil mixed together and heated in the toaster oven. Tested it on the wood board with the coffee stain and yes, it works too!
The finishers will come in tomorrow morning. Here’s hoping in 4 days we can move in back to our now clean breathable home.
Birth Control Pills and Children Leukemia Cancer Link?
Children born with cancer. Children born with leukemia. So where does that come from? In born the doctors say. So it means the disease came from the mother. So it seems mother’s toxic waste were dumped in their babies. Too bad. There may be a pattern here, birth control pills may be the cause of in born cancers and leukemia.
The premise is, if a woman takes birth control pills or similar hormonal and chemical contraceptive for several years before attempting to get pregnant, the hormonal, chemical and toxic waste built up on her may be transferred to her next baby.
I was witness lately to a 3 year old boy, gaunt from leukemia treatments by his provincial hospital. I interviewed the mother. This is her 4th child. The first 3 children are healthy. After her 3rd child, she took birth control pills. Then they tried for a fourth child after 4 years of birth control pills. This 4th child was born with leukemia.
There’s your clue right there. Anyone willing to finance such a study? I’ve told you where to look, so if anyone is willing to finance a study, start studying and expose this childhood cancer holocaust the world is experiencing.
Birth Control Pills Massive Recall 1.4 Million Packages Upside Down!
Too funny from the point of view of us health freaks. Too funny from the point of view of pro-life advocates. Ammunition against RH Bill proponents. A company in the USA made a voluntary recall of 1.4 million packages of its various birth control pills brands because its packages were printed upside down. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I wonder whose fault that was and how many millions more slipped through un-reported?
The products recalled were for Cyclafem 7/7/7, Cyclafem 1/35, Emoquette, Gildess FE 1.5/30, Gildess FE 1/20, Orsythia, Previfem and Tri-Previfem. The company is Qualitest. Full PDF download of the recall at http://www.qualitestrx.com/pdf/OCRecall.pdf
What this means is that the white sugar pills were listed as the active ingredient pill. What this means is that there could be massive pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies, dangerous pregnancies, damaged pregnancies. This is major major publicly acknowledged recall.
So now do you ever wonder why your birth control pill failed to poison you and your newly conceived child?
Now do you RH-bill hordes see the folly of trusting your lives to some anonymous corporation instead of taking responsibility in your own hands?
Now do you contraceptive hordes see just how contraception as a mindset opens the gates towards abortion?
Abortion is merely the backup to the failure of “contraception”.
Oh the horrors of having an “un-intended child!” Did you really believe that contraceptive garbage? Truth: When you “get it on” it is intentional.
In the first place, no real healer, no health fanatic will ever willingly poison themselves to degrade their own health.
Mold Inspections, Indoor Air Pollution, Chicken Farm Air Pollution
It’s not enough that my family is on a paleo-ish diet, it’s not enough that I am on a raw paleo diet. But it seems the pollution going around in the house hold still trumps diet and makes us sick… or “respiratorically” sick… it challenges our lungs.
Neighbor with new chicken farm we are contesting for their illegality, when they came in coincidence we got all sick. Even the maids who live in the next door house. Seems a section of our roof and parts of our ceiling are leaking fine dust from the fine soil from the 2009 Ondoy flood sinking our entire house beyond our roof. And a section on our roof above the toilet, a bare space of bad design that just collects dust and molds.
The mechanism of colds:
The mucus / colds we get are a protective response to pollution. The coughs are there to release phlegm that has protected our lungs deep inside and are now ready to be expelled.
If your throat hurts from coughing tough phlegm, Valda Pastilles in moderation can sooth the throat. Just in moderation, I took too much and made my heart hurt. I’ve had better success with 5 drops of Quantumin Minerals Plus in some 2 shots of gargling water. Gargle with your head tipped back for 1 minute. Awesome relief from soar throat.
Our solution:
Complain to the barangay and have those blasted infested parasitic laden chickens move out. It’s illegal for them to be here anyway. And they are noisy, nose pollution. Non stop cock a doodle doo.
Boarded up the open section of the ceiling.
Sealed up the crevices of the ceiling.
Buy 3F Filtrete and add it to our air conditioner filter.
Bought an Air Purifier to help clean the indoor air pollution from molds, bad germs, chemicals.
Will be exploring the costs and estimates of stripping the ceiling or roof and removing all the left over soil.
And we have taken a vacation house in Calamba, Laguna for the weekends. Will leave after I post this blog…
I bought a Bionaire Air Purifier with ULPA Filter BAP1560
Home air was getting real bad I needed a solution fast. Seems the fine dust / old mud from the Ondoy flood in 2009 has not stopped haunting our home. Last time I blogged about it we sealed the ceiling with a glue gun to prevent seepage of fine dust. Seems it hasn’t stopped. I asked the maids to clean the ceiling facing beams and sure enough there were tons of dirt there… in all the 4 beams. Plus on top of the toilet, an attic like space is open to gather even more dust.
Think. How can we clean up the air immediately? Sure we could tear down the roof… at what cost and for how long does that take? How to clean the air immediately? Air purifiers come to mind.
Went to the department store and looked for the most expensive thing they had. Hoping expensive meant performance. Got a Bionaire Air Purifier with ULPA Filter BAP1560. Hepa filter… good… maybe it will be our ticket to health and get rid of everyone’s colds.
At the same time I bought a Filtrete Microparticle Aircon Filter with Electrostatic Fibers.
Seems the colds, mucus formation is caused by the home environment with that Ondoy fine dust continuously falling from the ceiling. The body response is to protect its lungs. Make more mucus, filter the air.
If our air was cleaner, then our bodies would tone down in the mucus production.
Let’s see how well this contraption works in the next few days.
The Bionaire UA-1560 air purifier removes dust, pollen, tobacco smoke, pet dander, mold spores, viruses and bacteria! A special filter seal improves the unit’s performance by preventing leak by-pass. The independently controlled ionizer helps clean and freshen the air you breath. The Bionaire air purifier has three-speeds for comfort, high and medium for daytime use and low (quiet) for clean air while you sleep.
