How To Make Your Hay Fever Worse
March 31, 2009 by Carolin · 3 Comments
Welcome back!
About 35 million Americans suffer from hay fever.
If you extrapolate that to other countries you get:
4 million Canadians with hay fever
2,5 million Australians with hay fever
130 million Indians with hay fever
23 million Brazilians with hay fever
Though I don’t that Indians and Brazilians have as much hay fever as American since they don’t eat as much chemically loaded food as we do. At least not yet. For example there are a lot less allergies in Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe.
Hay fever is a real problem, at least in America and Western Europe. What do we do about it?

Do you have negative thoughts popping up in your head?
Do you believe them?
Do you question them?
Do you talk back to them?
ANT’s are Automatic Negative Thought’s and we all have them. But sometimes they are so many and so dominant that we actually start to believe them.
If you get in that situation Talk Back To Them!
Write down you negative thoughts and ask yourself: Is this really true?

Carcinogen in Over 80% of Baby Products
This is horrible! 
USA Today reports about how cancer causing toxins were found in 82% of tested baby products.
Some may say that the concentration is very low. But formaldehyde is bad enough that some countries have banned it from all personal care products.
And here they found it in baby products!
Many children’s bath products contain chemicals that may cause cancer and skin allergies, according to a report released Thursday by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.
Twenty-three of 28 products tested contained formaldehyde, the report says. Formaldehyde — considered a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency, — is released as preservatives break down over time in a container.
Thank God for the certified organic alternatives that we can trust and use on our babies without having to worry about toxins and allergens.
