Silent Killers in Our Homes.
Silent Killers in Our Homes
With so many harmful factors in our environments these days it’s really important to protect our families & ourselves as much as we possibly can.
Like they say, prevention is better than cure…
Obesogens
We are surrounded by obesogens in our environment, we’re not only wearing plastic clothes… yes you heard right! Plastic! Acrylic, nylon & polyester are all plastic, so when we wear these we are absorbing harmful chemicals into our bodies. Our skin is the largest organ of our body & is semi-permeable. Meaning we absorb what we put on it, or come into contact with, our clothes for example.
And when it’s hot or we warm up or sweat this makes the chemicals leach onto our skins even more! A dreadful thought isn’t it!
So how can we overcome this? Sweating is a great way. Training or doing high intensity exercise will cause a sweat that clears out toxins from the body.
Also, investing in some organic cotton, wool & linen clothes. These are not only natural but have a high frequency. Linen has a healing frequency, hospitals used linen sheets years ago as they knew about this.
However, linen & wool cancel each others energies out, so therefor, should not be worn together.
Wearing cotton underwear is important too as we have lymph nodes under our armpits & our groin are.
And while we’re on the subject of armpits… aerosol deodorant is extreme toxic, not only does it contain aluminium which can absorb into the blood stream entering through the blood brain barrier possibly causing Alzheimer’s. It also causes breast cancer. This is evident as the majority of those who have breast cancer have so in their left breast. This is because we are mostly right handed, so use our dominant hand to spray more liberally on the left side.
How can we overcome this? I say abolish the toxic spray altogether! I use organic cold pressed coconut oil. It is naturally antibacterial so it prevents the bacteria from growing. It is the bacteria that causes the odour. Sweat does not smell.
I buy my coconut oil from Lidl for around £1.79 or occasionally Waitrose for £3.50 ish when I haven’t the time to go to Lidl. Always buy in glass jars never plastic & always cold pressed otherwise the heating extraction method destroys the good stuff that we need for fresh smelling pits!
Coconut oil is amazing for anything & everything! Oil pulling through your teeth, this also balanced the good bacteria.
I also slather it on wet skin after a shower as this not only nourishes & hydrates my skin leaving it smooth & soft, it also minimises scars, blemishes & age spots. If you have darkened skin around you groin or under arms this will also help…
And, if you’re prone to BV you can use this topically & internally to balance the good bacteria. That fishy odour us ladies can get after using certain skincare products or swimming in a chlorinated pool is due to killing off the good bacteria causing an imbalance. So coconut oil brings it back into balance creating a fresh, clean puddy cyat!
And there’s more! Coconut oil is great for cooking too! It has a high smoke point meaning when it reaches high temperature it will not change into harmful, carcinogenic molecules. It also contains medium chain fatty acids which regulate glucose & lipid metabolism, stimulate autophagy & restore mitochondrial function which are found to be disrupted in aging & neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s.

Hormone Disrupters
Plastics in our kitchen are causing our hormones to be out of balance, causing painful periods, infertility, PCOS, disease & an imbalance in male & female hormones.
Unfortunately we are exposed to so many toxins in our environment that it’s hard to know where to begin… & not to mention feeling overwhelmed with all of the information!
Here are a few things you can change to prevent causing dis-ease of your body & your family.
Change plastic food storage containers to glass ones with glass or bamboo lids
Use copper drinking bottles instead of plastic ones ( I don’t trust the BPA free ones either! It’s only a matter of time before they say that is toxic too…)
Use stainless steal, cast iron & copper pans ( I never use a microwave & heat in plastic, I can feel the chemicals leaching! Urgh…! )
Limit take outs. Anything hot that comes into contact with plastic, aluminium or PFAS, the forever chemical are not good news for our bodies.
These chemicals won’t kill us now. But constant use over time will. It’s the compound effect.
Use a water distiller & let your water just ‘be’ for a while. Water holds memory & by letting it stand without a lid for an hour or so it cleans itself & released any negative energy that it absorbs in the pipes.
Tap water contains PFAS, fluoride, bromide, micro plastics, contraceptive pills & other prescription medicines that can all cause our bodies to be at dis-ease & disrupt the endocrine system.
Inflammation is the bodies warning signal that is out of balance. All disease starts with inflammation. Learn to signs, listen to your body & make the necessary changes.

Cooking Pans
Sweeping the news as Teflon Flu, this extremely dangerous substance has also been coined as the forever chemical that you can never get out of your body!
Teflon coated pans & non-stick is one of the most dangerous killers we are using on a daily basis. Coined the forever chemical as it allegedly stays in our bodies forever! Weakening our immune systems allowing cancer to grow, this is why it is called a carcinogen.
This toxic coating is not only on pans, it is used in many appliances too! Air fryers, pressure cookers & other kitchen equipment. And, take out boxes & cups. This silky smooth lining that is inside disposable containers is the water proof or resistant coating. And combine that with hot food & you’ve got a chemical shit storm waiting to cause havoc with yours & your families health & endocrine systems causing you a hormonal imbalance & creating dis-ease!
How Can we Avoid the Detrimental Effects?
Abstain from using them. But this is life, we want to live, right? Limit fast food… I know it’s hard. And use steal, cast iron & copper pans.
Opt for ceramic, glass, steel & iron oven dishes.
Make small changes that make a difference over time.
Here are some kitchenware products I use that are not harmful to my families health.

Our Bedrooms
We are being exposed to EMF’s everywhere these days, electrical appliances in the home, electric cars… outside towers… all of these are causing our ‘beings’ to be out of balance. After all we are electrical beings….
Daily grounding bare foot is the best way, tree hugging also connects us to the earth. A trees roots go down deep into Mother Earth & are the same width of its branches surging energy up into its trunk & through our hands!
I like to ground at home too, I use an ‘earthing sheet’ to sleep on. This way I know my family & I are grounding for a good 8hrs while we rest & sleep.
Here are some great products I use to protect my family from EMF radiation.
