Casual Articles - How Toxic Is Your Home?
The Alternating Hot/Cold Soak MethodThe most effective technique that I know of for sinus, tooth and eye problems is the hot/cold soak. This one is an easy, effective, cheap treatment that you can do at home. It helps for allergies, bacterial, fungal or viral infections, abscesses, ear infections and anything else associated with the head where many prescription drugs fail to penetrate quickly.1) Step One: Take two pans of water large enough to put your feet into. One should be filled with very hot but not scorching water and the other pan with cold water (add some ice cubes to this one.) Add a clean washcloth to each pan.2)

For more than 25 years, Nancy Mramor has used a mind-body-spirit approach to health psychology and psychotherapy in her private practice and training. Voted one of western Pennsylvania’s most successful women in 1997, she has developed programs to teach relaxation, meditation and yoga to help people open up spiritually.Mramor’s upcoming book about spiritually fit businesses examines the health of business owners, employees, vendors, customers and clients. She recently spoke with Science & Theology News’ Frederica Saylor to explain how all aspects of a business work together to create a spiritually fit workplace.Q: How do you define spir
The good news is that for every toxic product you'll find in your home, there is a safer alternative. You just need to know where to look for those toxic exposures and what safe solutions are available.
Here are ten common toxic exposures most Americans have in their homes, and some simple, inexpensive things everyone can do to reduce household toxics.
1. Save yourself from exposure to toxic ammonia by washing your windows with vinegar and water. Ammonia can cause irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract, and burn your skin. Instead, mix distilled white or apple cider vinegar half-and-half with water in a spray bottle. Squirt on windows and wipe with recycled newspapers for a streak-free super shine.
2. Free yourself from toxic formaldehyde exposure by sleeping on untreated cotton sheets. Formaldehyde exposure can cause insomnia—yes, insomnia—and respiratory problems, among other symptoms. Bypass formaldehyde-coated polyester/cotton sheets and no-iron cotton sheets and choose cozy cotton flannel sheets or untreated cotton percale sheets, both available at major department stores and online.
3. Put up a detector to protect your family from carbon monoxide exposure. Carbon monoxide starves the body and brain of oxygen and can be fatal. First symptoms include sleepiness, headache, dizziness, flushed skin, and disorientation. All homes with gas appliances or heaters should install carbon monoxide detectors, available in most hardware and home improvement stores or on-line.

Entry level job seekers face an old conundrum: you can't get a job without experience, and you can't get experience without a job.This may seem unfair. Entering the job market is hard enough without facing a seemingly impossible challenge right away! Relax: it isn't impossible. Think of it as a test, one that serves employers and job seekers alike by enabling exceptional candidates to distinguish themselves. How? Simply, the good candidates recognize how to get past this obstacle.The truth is, no matter how entry level you are, you have years of experience to draw on, unless you've done nothing but stay home and watch television. However, it takes a pos

QWERTY keyboards – so named after the first six keys on the top row – were never designed to be efficient. That’s because the first typewriters were not robust enough to handle high-speed key combinations.It is thought that designers deliberately separated the most common pairs of letters to prevent the type bars from jamming. Yet, despite the introduction of more durable keyboards later on, the QWERTY standard survived.Today, it's still the norm as most keyboards are based on QWERTY.QWERTY's monopolyMany have exposed flaws in the QWERTY design by citing English words that are particularly awkward to type, such as "minimum" and "monopoly"

The FA0 record for medical billing was pretty long to say the least. Well, the F series records are not quite done. The FB0 record, even though it is separate from the FA0 record, is still considered line item detail for the claim and must be transmitted if it is required by the payer. In this installment we will begin our review of the FB0 record.FB0 field 1, positions 1 - 3, is the record type. This must be filled with FB0. It should also be noted that the FB0 record must come right after the FA0 record for that particular line item. In other words, if there are say five FA0 records and five FB0 records, the sequence of records must be FA0, FB0, FA0, F

A lot of authors have dealt with the issue of debt consolidation vs. debt settlement in the past, and it’s pretty clear across the board that using a debt consolidation loan that is secured by your home is the better debt resolution product if you have that option (and this is coming from someone within the debt settlement industry). It does not affect your credit negatively, you save money, and the likelihood that you’ll default and lose your home is extremely low (the national default rate is 0.15% on home equity loans).That being said, although it’s clear that in most cases a home equity debt consolidation loan is a better choice, it’s by no means the best
4. Replace toxic mothballs with sweet sachets. Mothballs are made from 100 percent paradichlorobenzene, a volatile toxic chemical that can cause headaches and severe irritation to nose, throat and lungs. Over time it can cause liver and kidney damage. Because the balls look like candy, they are a very attractive poison to children. Protect your woolens from moths by making sachets from dried lavender, equal parts dried rosemary and mint, or whole peppercorns. Cedar products are also effective moth repellants.
5. Use soap-based cleaning products instead of poisonous detergent. While detergents seem safe, they are a petrochemical-based product that is responsible for more household poisonings than any other substance. Soap, on the other hand, is made from natural oils and minerals and has been safely used for centuries. Natural and organic soap-based products can be found in natural food stores and online.
6. Refill your own non-plastic water bottle instead of using toxic plastic water bottles. While it's good for your health to carry your own water and drink it throughout the day, if it's in a clear polycarbonate plastic bottle, it is leaching a toxic substance into your water--even if the bottle is sitting on table at room temperature. Bisphenol-A. BPA is a potent hormone disruptor that can impair the reproductive organs and have adverse effects on breast tissue and prostate development. Drink from a glass bottle or carry an aluminum or steel bottle, availa
