,

Thought I would share with you the research on air filtration systems.

lenandjoe.com are homeopathic MDs bridging the gap between eastern and

western medicine. I often listen to them and my father swears by them. They

research anything they indorse throurghly. They listed fields controls air

filtration systems as one of the best.

I would have purchased a fields, but already bought 2 Oreck air filter

systems. I may purchase a fields in the future, as my house needs about 3-4

for sq ftage reasons. The Oreck is good but the components are better on the

fields.

Hope this helps,

Liz,

Ah, nonstick surfaces. I haven't noticed a difference in my son when

we eat at relative's houses, but I guess I usually bring most of his

meal with us.

I have also changed many things in my household over the past few

years to try and create a healthier environment for my family. A few

years ago, we bought a LifeMist water distiller for our drinking

water. I've been interested in a water filter for the whole house,

but haven't researched that yet. I also installed shower filters to

try to reduce the chemicals released from the water while showering.

has always used non-fluoride toothpaste. I read about the

dangers of fluoride when he was under two, so we never transitioned

to kids fluoride toothpaste. I switched to a wonderful tasting

fluoride-free toothpaste for myself and my husband. We haven't had

cavities since we changed. It also eliminated some white spots on our

teeth.

I got rid of my nonstick and aluminum bakeware and now use stainless

steel. No aluminum foil. I tossed my microwave. We're on JuicePlus

vitamins. I try to buy as much organic food as possible.

I'm starting to research air filtration systems for our bedrooms and

living room. I was recently diagnosed with allergies and suspect my

son has similar ones. I'm also researching GFCF since I was recently

diagnosed with multiple food allergies, including milk. I figure it

can't hurt to try CF with to see if it helps him.
