Hazards of Air Fresheners
The NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) tested 14 different air fresheners and found
that 12 contained chemicals called phthalates. These chemicals can cause hormonal abnormalities, birth defects and reproductive problems.  Even the air fresheners marked as "all-natural" or
"unscented" contain these chemicals.  Air fresheners may also contain allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as cancer-causing chemicals such as formaldehyde.  All people, especially pregnant women and children should avoid products that contain phthalates because there are no warning label requirements so that consumers know which products pose a risk.  I urge you to get these products out of your house!  They are toxic!

What you can do:  I use pure essential oils and a nebulizing diffuser  in my home as needed.  I also open the doors and/or windows to let in fresh air every few days.

TandemHeart® PTVA® System
Cardiologists are using this system during emergencies to help heart patients survive heart attacks and high-risk procedures without undergoing major surgery.  TandemHeart works by providing mechanical circulatory support for patients. It is connected to a pump outside the body, and it pulls oxygenated blood from the left atrium and returns it to the heart and vital organs.  This increase in blood flow helps to save vital organs and gives damaged hearts a chance to heal when patients experience acute heart conditions.  The device assumes approximately 85% of the heart's pumping function, improving blood flow until the patient is strong enough to undergo surgery or angioplasty.  From Hoag Heart and Vascular Institute.  For a clinical look at the TandemHeart:

Understanding EMF
SDGE sent out a brochure with my gas bill discussing the safety of electric and magnetic fields (EMF) and the possible health effects of this 60-Hertz power frequency.  The results from many research studies have been evaluated by international, national and California EMF research programs
to find out if EMF poses any health risk.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reviewed the potential health implications of extremely low frequency EMF which includes power-frequency fields.  The WHO report stated that evidence for a link between ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukemia is not strong enough to be considered causal but sufficiently strong to remain a concern.

SDGE suggests that if you are concerned you can place electric clocks and phones away from the head of your bed.  Increase your distance from televisions, computers and microwave ovens.  You can also limit
the time you spend using hair dryers, electric razors, and electric blankets.

There are studies that show electric and magnetic fields are harmful to the cells in our bodies.  There is a solution for all of your household appliances including your computer and also your cell phone. It is called a Universal Chip.
