i make my own laundry detergent and am working on becoming vegan. i have read in numerous places that arm and hammer tests on animals, so i am using up what i currently have and switching to something else thats cruelty free. also, i read somewhere that you can make a crumpled up foil ball and stick it in the dryer and use it over and over. thats supposed to help with static.
please stop using arm and hammer products tho?

You are right about the plastic bottles they do cause much harm to the body. Excellent post!

Hi Anna
I just got through reading your article regarding sensitivity to not just perfume but to also bottled water. I will keep this short and to the point. As you know there are toxins in all of our food chain. If you are drinking any kind of bottled water and feel not at your best after drinking bottled water there is a somewhat reliable tests that can be done fairly easy. As you know our bodies are always eliminating toxins. However believe it or not another way to see what toxins your body is releasing is through your shoes. Yes you read that correctly. Since most people sweat most on their feet the toxins are transferred to your shoes. The best example that I can give you is if you have a pair of sandals that you wear all the time with no socks I can easily do a toxin test and let you know exactly what toxins your body are releasing most of. If you're interested please feel free to leave a comment on your web site and we can contact each other.
All the best to you and your family. Mike

not to mention the incredible loaded amount of flouride they add! I keep telling my kids to stop buying the garbage at school (grrrr) and instead drink from the fountain. Or better yet, just bring their own! It's better to lug stainless steel than to carry any plastic containing water.

Hi Anna

I didn't have time to do the quiz earlier as I like you have been super busy, but I vowed to come back and do it and guess what? The results could not have been any more perfect = FIJI! One of the places that I would love to visit if not live for a while on...

I am surprised about your PEI result seeing that you live in Florida, that is neat. I actually am thinking of spending a few months in Florida next winter if all goes well. I guess I just need that lush warm sun atmosphere all year badly. Something that Canadian winters fall grossly short on :(

AAh. I've never been but would love to visit. Maybe someday after I get a camper van and embark on my gypsy lifestyle.

That Book really is great. I've had it for years. It's the Bible for candida sufferers!

I hear you on this post! I leave Chicago winters now, because it is just too hard to get enough fresh air! Great blog. :)

Hi Anna, I just wanted to update you on Living in a Chemical Soup news. I've shut down the Social Network as it was wandering from the purpose I'd set for it in the beginning. Like you, I'll now be updating my blog as the main source of information on detoxing the home and future talkcasts. Thank you for letting others know about my podcast and site. Have a great day.

this Homeopath person left the exact same comment on my blog. I think they are just a spammer or bot - sadly.
Unfortunately I already approved the comment and can't delete it.

I noticed that one of your interests was homeopathy. I am new to blogger but intend on postings some more interesting entries there that you might enjoy. Your blog is great.

2009-02-03T11:27:00.000-07:00

hi Anna,

I agree about plastic.
If I'm out in public somewhere and absolutely have to buy water, I but water in glass bottles. often the only kind available in glass is carbonated 'mineral' water but I do much better with that than anything in plastic.

I hope things work out okay with getting shots/drops that don't cause reactions. Are the preservative-free shots and drops?

2009-01-31T06:07:00.000-07:00

Sometimes when I drink out of certain plastic bottles my throat starts to constrict, almost as if I'm getting a bad allergic reaction. I know that sounds really strange, but it is true.

Is this a trick question? ;-)

Good advice Anna and I try to get some fresh outside air everyday. But today I have stayed indoors in my PJ's c'os everwhere is frozen outside - come see! Have a great day.

2009-01-27T09:29:00.000-07:00

Hi Anna, Just found your blog through Susie's. Yes, can't wait for the day when "green" includes wearing non-toxic products and washing clothes in non-toxic laundry products.

It is great to see all the reusable bags being carried in and out of the grocery store, but for those of us with MCS still having to dodge the aisles with the "toxically-scented" shoppers...we have quite a ways to go.

What a day it will be when awareness of the toxicity of artificially scented products catches up to the importance of foregoing paper and plastic bags!

Excellent blog Anna! Kerry

2009-01-26T10:19:00.000-07:00

Hi Anna

Well I agree with you ig time on two things:

1) The whole grain/veggie diet has cured or alleviated many different symptoms for people and it is one of the best ways to give our systems a break from all the toxins they are inundated with each day, including toxins in processed food and meat.

2) Yay to no plastic!!!!
Although I do not suffer from anything we have removed all plastic bottles from our life almost 2 years ago and it is wonderful!

Despite what some companies say, plastic does leach chemicals into our food and water. #1 bottles are especially easy in breaking down and that is the main number used for all beverages out there right now. So yes I would definitely stay away from the Aquafina and all other plastic bottles too.

Good to see you back :)

2009-01-25T13:04:00.000-07:00

Thank you for having the nerve to say BEWARE! Mold is not to be messed with and I hope the authour never finds out the hard way how dangerous it can be to clean it up yourself. One of the contributing factors to my MCS escalating out of control was mold.
Scary stuff.

2009-01-22T17:56:00.000-07:00

I'm with you on that! My husband cleaned up black mold in our GA home, and shortly afterwards he got a rare form of cancer. While he was remediating it, I was exposed big time, too. Who knew???

2009-01-20T23:55:00.000-07:00

Being green is so much more than most people know. Like you, I see young mothers with kids who are polluting the environment of their kids and all of us who come in contact with them.
It will take a major media blitz to get the public aware of what is happening to us.
We should all write to Oprah. She can change the opinion of most women in this country.

2009-01-20T00:07:00.000-07:00

GREENWASHING! Except corporations do it deceptively and your moms at the park are just unconscious. It's really hard when other people's toxicity keeps us from having access to things! It's more than a pet peeve, really, Anna, you have every right to be upset. It's just not fair to any of us to be poisoned like that-- even the moms! I hope you feel better soon. {{Aloha hugs}} xoxo

2009-01-16T23:23:00.000-07:00

My first time to this blog. Thanks so much for the non-toxic cleaning products. I will make and use these and possibly save my life. Commercial products bring on ashtma attacks and I get very sick.
Great blog.
