Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 , Yes, plastic is a toxic material, especially when heated. One should be very careful not to breathe vapors from heated plastic, or eat food or liquids that have been heated in plastic. Even throwaway water bottles are suspect. Softer plastics are more dangerous. My dear uncle is very sick with severe fibro symptoms. After many, many tests and doctors, they found he has chemicals from plastic in his liver and kidneys. The doctors, (from UC Med and Stanford, some of the best medical researchers in the country) think it is from his years of eating food microwaved in plastic, especially plastic wrap. There are many reasons to avoid plastic. If it were me, I would take that plastic stuff down asap. It will keep offgassing, and you don't need any more toxic triggers! I wonder if those quilted window coverings would help? I know it isn't as pretty as being able to see through the windows, but healthier. I hope you feel better soon, Bindi Winterizing Good Aternoon Ladies, I have a warning for all the ladies here that live areas that have alot of snow. I live in Michigan and my hubby and I have been winterizing our home to help conserve energy costs. We bought that plastic you put on the inside of the windows and vaccum seal it with a blow dryer. We were putting some up yesterday, which happens to be a day I felt great. At least till I heated up the plastic with the blow dryer. Gases must get released when the plastic is heated up because I suddenly got very ill. I felt like I was going to pass out, so I sat down. I got extremely nausious and went to lay down. My hubby said my cheeks turned very red and I felt like someone blended my brain with a mixer. I was in and out of it for quite some time. My hubby suggested I do an ionic foot bath, to eliminate some of the toxic levels. The colors that came out of me was different than all the other times. I felt horribly the whole rest of the day and evening. I also had weird brain symptoms, it felt like my head periodically had to 'shiver". I had a rough night and my fibro symptoms all increased. I do have to say, I did feel alot better after the ionic foot cleansing. I shudder to think how I would be feeling today if I hadn't done one. So, please Ladies, have a loved one do your home winterizing for you. I hope you all enjoy your Sunday Afternoon, Everyone is raving about the all-new .

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 If I ever use the microwave to warm things up, I cover the food with wax paper, and I use glass dishes instead of plastic ones. I remember about 10 years ago reading that heating up the plastic wrap converts it into dioxin or something like that, and the article suggested using wax paper instead. Also, if something comes in a plastic container and says to heat it up in that same container, I don't. Most of the time I heat my food on the stove, but occasionally use the microwave. These days it's hard to find anything that comes in glass containers, so we're exposed to all sorts of things (even the natural and organic stuff often comes in plastic containers).

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yes, I have always been leary of microwaving in plastic. I even require the kids to put everything in glass before microwaving. I have noticed them increasingly using the microwave, so I un-plugged it. I don't want the kids using it as much as they do. Also, I wash and take the labels of my Synergy bottles that are glass and use them for water bottles. They are great, they even can be washed in the dishwasher. However, I have to collect more tops then bottles, cuz the tops tend to rust. freebindi <bindi@...> wrote: , Yes, plastic is a toxic material, especially when heated.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yes, microwaving in plastic is a BAD idea. Any kind of plastic. If you have to microwave, make sure it is glass you use. And I recommend avoiding the microwave for the most part. Lynda At 03:39 PM 10/29/2006, you wrote: >Yes, I have always been leary of microwaving in >plastic.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi Rogene, I am feeling back to normal today, except a little more tired than usual. The first night, however was scary. I had these wierd "shivers" in my head. I only had a couple yesterday, and now I am just tired. My hubby is wonderful. There hasn't been a day in the past two months that he has not mentioned how proud he is of me. He is proud at how I am taking control of my health by making good health choices and sticking to them. He is very happy at my progress and also my 15 pound weight loss. We are really looking forward to our romantic two weeks in St. Maarten this December. We have someone coming to our home to watch the kids, and we are taking a very needed vacation. Randy is so happy with my little boobies, that he wants us to visit a topless beach while we are there. He says, he is proud to be seen with me. However, I don't think I will be taking any tops off. Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: Wow ! . . . That sounds like a close call!
