I've often wondered how I got multiple sclerosis. I look at our world today, which uses more chemicals, aerosols, pesticides and insecticides than ever before. When we find a vermin or an insect dwelling in our home, we run to the store to buy toxic chemicals to kill it. But is it also killing us?
I came across an interesting article a few years ago in a magazine, which discussed the first and only link to Parkinson's Disease. Scientists found a link to the use of pesticides and insecticides in and near our homes. Strangely enough I found that article so compelling I threw out the ant killer I had in my apartment.
Later that day I stepped out of my home and onto the grass, and thought of what pesticides or insecticides were on the ground, that seeped into the ground water, which I'm now bathing and drinking in. Then I began thinking of all the times I've seen airplanes fly overhead spraying toxic chemicals all over the place to stop the insects from attacking crops.
Here's a link which describes how our water is contaminated from Deet (bug repellent) and causing neurological conditions, such as MS.
A few days later I went to a drive-in theatre and the mosquitoes were biting me like crazy, I went to put bug repellent on, saw it contained Deet, and cringed at the thought of worsening my current condition. I threw the mosquito repellent away and refused to even let my children use it.
If chemicals were created for a toxic purposes, such as killing bugs, why wouldn't they harm us?
Here's a link, which describes the effects of pesticides and insecticides on the auto immune system and the diseases they caused, such as MS and Parkinson's.
My thoughts since then have turned to basic household chemicals, especially ones with aerosols or sprays. I've noticed when Febreeze or Lysol is sprayed near me I feel a tingling sensation in my body and I may sneeze or cough. What good is a fresh smelling home, if we are slowly dying in it?
Burning incense is an alternative to spraying air fresheners and are generally healthy because they are made from aromatic plant materials. I prefer a lavender scent, but they do come in various aromas.
Since then, I've thrown out every spray in my home, including hair spray. I've realized there are too many chemicals in them we don't understand yet.
Here's a link which explains the chemicals in household cleaners and disinfectants, and the damage they can cause to our body.
There are plenty of alternative cleaners which can be purchased on the Internet or you can make your own from natural products, such as lemons and vinegar. Here's a site which sells safe, non toxic, eco-friendly products.
People with auto immune system disorders (such as myself) have to be careful, not just of the food we eat, but of the air we breath, and the water we drink and bathe in. The immune system is sensitive and an allergic reaction to a harmful chemical is dangerous and can cause future relapses.
This is why its essential to purify our bodies through diet and exercise.
Here's a link to a previous post entitled, Strengthening the Immune System, which explains how to detoxify and purify your body.
