 Ever heard… “Well, we can discuss Ritalin”? I asked the doctor, “Are there any other natural options?”, “What about food allergies causing some of the out of control behavior?” Our pediatrician said I could go to an allergist, but he had not heard of any food allergies that could be connected. I asked the allergist to test my son for red food coloring allergy since I had heard it could cause out of control behaviors. The allergist gave us a month supply of Clariton and told us to come back if it helps. I was outraged that none of the doctors wanted to help the underlying cause. I was not going to put my son on dangerous, addictive prescription drugs that wouldn’t get to the cause, resulting in him having severe issues later in life; turning to street drugs. So, I went to the best source, God. I prayed for help because I knew He had the answer.

Why is it that chlorine is commonly used in both swimming pools as well as the drinking water in most cities and towns? What is Chlorine? Per the Oxford English Dictionary, Chlorine is a poisonous, irritant, pale green gaseous chemical element ORIGINATING from Greek khloros ‘green’.
Chlorine, a poisonous material, kills bacteria with relatively high efficiency. Unfortunately, with this benefit there are many serious detriments. Chlorine is a very reactive agent with a tendency to chemically bond with any and all organic materials that are commonly found in water, such as plant juice, bug parts, etc. When chlorine makes contact with these organic materials, it automatically turns into known or suspected carcinogens! How can this be good? There are many other choices that can healthfully replace chlorine’s wonderful bactericide properties without also creating carcinogens. Considering how frequently we hear of friends and loved ones dying from cancer, it would behoove us to take measures to stay away from chlorine.
There are three common fantastic alternatives to chlorine in a pool environment.

 Green has always been my favorite color, though I didn’t know why until recently. Now it is fast becoming the world’s favorite color, and thank goodness for that. Whether more and more people are ‘going green’ and becoming more environmentally conscious because it is trendy and cool, or because they realize it is a necessity to ensure the survival of our race, I am glad to see it.

ARE YOUR COSMETICS & PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS SAFE?
Choosing safe products can be a daunting task without the proper knowledge and tools. Many product packages are deceptively designed to make you believe that the product inside the package is herbal, all natural, safe and gentle, when in fact the product contains little or no natural or herbal ingredients, is contaminated with carcinogens and is irritating to the skin. This is the case because of the lack of regulation in the cosmetic and personal care product industry. But armed with a little knowledge and some helpful tools, there is much you can do to protect yourself.
Here are 10 things you can do to make safer and healthier choices when selecting your toiletries. Read the ingredients on the label. The packaging may say such things as natural, herbal or hypoallergenic. This has nothing to do with what’s really in the product or how safe it is. Manufacturers make a lot of claims on the package to “sell” the product. They can do this because some of the terms don’t have official definitions and they can use them however they want. To really fi nd out what’s in a product, you must read the ingredients in the small print, you know, the ones that you sometimes need a magnifying glass to be able to see.
