ADHD - Awareness of Pollutants in Your Home

Everyone should be aware of pollutants in their home, especially homes with an AD-HD diagnosed child.

Pollutants are chemicals or other waste materials found around us in water and air which can harm our health, the environment and property.

Pollutants can be in the form of gases or vapours, tiny solid particles, dust, smoke or soot.

At regular intervals, check your water supply, the lotions and cleaning agents that you use.

Many cleaning products available today are intended to make your household activities easier.

Warning: Many of these products expose you to harmful chemicals and/or negatively affect the environment during use or disposal.

It is not just a question of inhaling these harmful chemicals as you clean but, as very many people are careless and do not wear rubber gloves, these chemicals can go directly through the skin.

Inhaling the chemicals means that the poisons go even more quickly into your body, as the nasal or olfactory sense is the most direct route to the brain, quicker than any of the other four senses.

The result - INSTANT DAMAGE.

We should be thankful that our body is such a miraculous creation that it can self-heal despite our blatant neglect of it.

However, if we want a body to perform at its maximum for a longer period of time, as a fully functioning healthy unit, we need to help it along and assist in its detoxification.

You can avoid exposure to these dangerous chemicals through careful shopping and usage practices.

Make sure that the materials you use are not harmful to you in any way.

Swap chemically laden materials with non-toxic alternatives.

Below are some alternatives to chemical-filled cleaning products.

Cleaning products

Baking soda and water paste; vinegar with salt and water

Window cleaner

Spray with vinegar; wipe print-free paper; or with newsprint paper

Furniture polish

Beeswax; lemon oil; lemon juice and olive oil

Air freshener

Fresh air; open box of baking soda; flowers (dried or fresh)

Oil-based paint

Water-based latex paint

Paint thinner or turpentine

Use latex paint so thinner or turpentine is not needed

Silver polish

Soak silver in boiling water with baking soda, salt, and a piece of aluminium

Mothballs

Cedar chips; aromatic herbs

Roach spray

Boric acid (dusted, out of reach of children and pets)

None of these are difficult to prepare.

In any case, isn't the health of your AD-HDer and that of your family important enough to make these changes from a toxic-filled environment to one which is toxins-free?

To circumvent the incredible increase of diagnosed allergies today in children (and adults), be alert to the cleanliness and freshness of household air and water, and eliminate toxin-filled cleaning agents, of all types, from your shopping list.
