Non-Chemical Solutions to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Picture of bed bug enlarged and actual size

I cannot recommend or promote the use of any type of chemical to address a bed bug infestation because there are so many kinds and an equal number of ways to handle them. I personally don’t use chemicals due to their toxicity to other living things in my home and in the environment; besides all chemicals are simple in their compound make up which means (much like we’ve seen with the over-use of antibiotics) it won’t be long before the pest becomes immune to the chemical(s) and we have a super-pest on our hands… which is quite possibly the reason why we’re seeing bed bug infestations all over the place. If you feel that you must use chemicals to treat bed bugs, hire a professional, please don’t use chemicals sold in the stores as they are toxic and have been shown to be ineffective.

"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." ~ R. Buckminster Fuller

You’ve just been diagnosed with multiple Chemical sensitivity, also called MCS.  You’re not really sure what MCS means, let alone how you got it, or where you can go for proper treatment.  Or, you know you’ve been sick for awhile, and no doctor seems to be able to give you an answer as to what’s wrong, so, you’re left on your own to try and figure out what is wrong with you.  This article is designed to provide you with a list of medical resources regarding the disease Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.  Whether you are sure that you have MCS, or are looking for a physician who can properly diagnose you, the list at the end should provide you with some great resources to help you get started.

“According to “National Geographic,” studies, various chemicals from our foods and environment that indicate man contributes 700,000 tons of pollutants into the air every day, ranging from everyday household cleaners to cosmetics and hair dyes “One new chemical enters industrial use every 20 minutes,” says Paula Baillie-Hamilton, MD, only to join many hundreds of thousands of synthetic chemicals already in use. “As a result, the average person living in the developed world is now contaminated with up to 500 industrial toxins, few of which have been properly tested for harmful effects.” Indeed, the US has only recently begun long-term research to establish a baseline for toxins in a portion of our population. Five percent of the 1,007 women in one such study had troubling levels of polychlorinated biphenyl (or PCB 188), which has been linked to breast cancer and weight gain.”  Toxic Overload Book.

Toxic ingredients are in almost everything in your home, regardless of whether or not the label says “green” or “all natural”, which are very deceiving words often put on the label to lull you into a false sense of security.  Every person should read this list of MCS links, even if you are not currently sick.  For those of you who are sick with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, this list may become your best friend.

“Modern chemistry keeps insects from ravaging crops, lifts stains from carpets, and saves lives. But the ubiquity of chemicals is taking a toll. Many of the compounds absorbed by the body stay there for years—and fears about their health effects are growing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released data on 148 substances, from DDT and other pesticides to metals, PCBs, and plastic ingredients, measured in the blood and urine of several thousand people.”  The Pollution Within.

In an effort to “make things better”, we have ultimately made ourselves sicker in the process, with cosmetics and personal body care products being the worst offenders, followed closely by air fresheners.  see my series of articles on Toxic products in your home, and newly diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity for additional information and alternative safe green products you can safely use.  The first article features information on Indoor Air Pollution from everyday toxic products.

Chemicals in lotion and other personal care productsEach day, more and more people are unknowingly exposed to toxic chemicals through their personal care products and household cleaning products. In our homes we find ourselves applying these products which contain toxic ingredients to our skin, the largest organ in our bodies. And we are breathing the scent and fumes from household cleaning products, further exposing our bodies to toxic ingredients that affect our health in very negative ways.

Some people have become so sick from their beauty products that they have been diagnosed with MCS, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

The only way we can limit our exposure to such toxins in the home is by having a bit of information at hand which will facilitate us in the choices we make daily.

Just because it’s on a store shelf, doesn’t mean it is safe

It will most probably disturb you greatly to know that:

  • Fifty four percent of the personal care products violate safety recommendations.
  • Nearly 70% of all products reviewed were found to have products tainted with impurities that may be linked to cancer and other health problems.

Before I get into this article, I’d like to remind everyone that our skin is an organ, and it is the largest organ in our body.  Additionally, a great portion, 83%, of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies.  This includes chemicals we spill on ourselves or put our hands into, etc.

You clean and you clean and you clean, every day, every weekend, because we have been taught that a clean home will help keep us healthy. Because we clean so thoroughly we believe that the cleaner our home is the healthier our home is, and therefore, we are.

Then, one day we overhear a snippet on the 6 o’clock news, and we realize that the different cleaners we’ve been using in our home are most likely toxic, cancer causing and hazardous to our health, the one thing we were trying to achieve!!!!

We, John Q. Public, believe that our government and Medical monitoring agencies have out best interest at heart, and will protect us and keep us safe from harm.  Sadly, that it not the case many times.  Many of the household cleaning products we use in homes are actually health hazards.

The sad but factual truth is that many ingredients in our everyday common household cleaning products that we trust to be safe are absolutely harmful to our health. As consumers why would we want such products around us, our families, especially our children, and our pets?  I believe that this continues to occur because our monitoring and protective agencies bank on that fact that most consumers are not educated in, or aware of the hidden dangers and severe health issues, including cancer, that these popular household cleaning products present to our health. Additionally, most of us are not aware as to how pervasive, chronic, long term and life threatening these health threats are to our families and pets.  Additionally, even if you do read the label, non food products do not have to list the chemicals they use in the processing to make the chemical that you are reading the label of!

Every day we strive to live a healthy, happy and balanced life, to do the right thing by our children and family because we care about our health and our world.  Yet, right under our noses, Big Business is completely undermining our efforts to get and stay healthy by polluting our indoor air environment with toxic chemicals known to cause a multitude of health problems, including cancer.  They trick us into thinking we are making a healthier choice by adding a key word to their product like “natural”, or an ingredient we perceive to mean it’s safe and healthy like “orange” or “lemon”, etc.

DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU!

Adding Orange to poison still makes it poison.

Adding 1 “natural” ingredient to poison still makes it poison.

Here are some basic facts most people are not aware of:

FACT:  Within 26 seconds after exposure to chemicals, in this case cleaning products , traces of these chemicals can be found in every organ in our body.

FACT: According to theAmericanCollegeof Medical Toxicology, use of household cleaners containing toxic chemicals should be discontinued whenever possible.  Read the rest of this entry »

Chris Packer, a Young Living farm manager, with Gary Young checking the worm grow beds to see the growth rate; the finished worm castings are mixed with compost for fertilizer and foliage feed for the plants grown on the Young Living farms, the plants that produce essential oils for us. This is just one  sustainable and organic practice that makes Young Living a top quality organic operation.Young Living Farm Worm Casting Beds

Why something like worm beds and other practices are important to know is because over our lifetime what we do today greatly determines our health in the future, which can save money in health care costs. First, we need to know the nuts and bolts, what has changed, what’s being done, and what we can do about it. Here are some examples that can help us make better choices in selecting which company(s) produce foods and products that we can feel good about buying. Let’s start with something Dr. Mercola writes to bring things into perspective:

Dr. Mercola writes;

“[one example] is Stonyfield Farm yogurt, which abandoned its organic farm in New Hampshire long ago and now gets its milk in powdered form. Yes, you read that correctly:

Powdered milk exported from 9,000 miles away in New Zealand.

You can bet your bottom dollar making powder out of milk is one of the worst things you can to do to it after pasteurization. Nearly all of the biologic value of the milk is removed.  Read the rest of this entry »

Aria and TheraPro essential oil diffusersThe benefits of diffusing Young Living therapeutic essential oils are many and varied. One thing for certain, it’s a win-win!

Essential oils kill pathogenic micro-organisms of all kinds.

World renowned medical researcher, Dr. Jean Valnet M.D., states that essential oils provide remarkable protection against viral infections ranging from shingles to influenza.

Private research, funded by Young Living Essential Oils. Inc. at Weber State University, successfully demonstrated specific essential oils diffused in a closed chamber killed every virus tested within minutes. Of 74 Young Living single essential oils tested, lemongrass, Roman chamomile, cinnamon, rose, valerian and yarrow scored the highest kill rates.

Specific Young Living blends of essential oils, like the Thieves blend demonstrated a 99.6% kill rate against airborne bacteria and scored high for its antiviral qualities and anti-fungal qualities.

Diffusing essential oils in the home or work place is one of the best ways to purify our environment. The anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and antiseptic properties of the oils, along with the negative ions and oxygenating molecules that are released when essential oils are diffused.

Cinnamon bark oil, oregano oil, and Thieves oil were all tested by Weber State University, and were shown to kill 100% of the airborne bacteria present when diffused into the atmosphere. (KID-Radio with Lance Richardson and Dr. Gary Young, ND, March 5, 1996).

By diffusing essential oils, or applying them topically to targeted areas of the body, therapeutic constituents reestablish balance where stress or mental discomfort has disrupted healthy emotional function.
