Asthma On The Rise

on January 8, 2008 in fragrance, health, Tip-sy Tuesday

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who is truly “aware” , but last month our local newspaper reported on the increase in asthma in children. That was something I’ve noticed over the past few years just from personal observation and reading. But it seems the media isn’t really paid to think so they [...]

A Fresh Broom?

on January 7, 2008 in fragrance, health

Just when you think there’s nothing else they can add fragrance to: This story was in our local paper the other day. In the “Life” section under the heading of Consumer’s Edge. (Consumer’s Edge seems to be where they advertise products by publishing info. from company press releases.) It seems that two companies (who shall [...]

A Cry For Help

on December 27, 2007 in fragrance, fragrance free, health, rights

I received the following email last night – actually @ 2:11AM South Texas time. The author, who shall remain nameless, found my other site – Fragrance Free World – by searching on the phrase “fragrance and adhd” at Yahoo! It is most definitely a cry for help: I’m a special education teacher with Seattle Public [...]

New Symptom?

on December 20, 2007 in fragrance free, health, MCS

Well, not precisely new. It’s just that I only recently realized this problem was related to my fragrance sensitivity. Here’s what happened: Last weekend, I had a lot of problems. First, during the day, my legs were very restless. I couldn’t sit still, couldn’t really do much of anything. I’ve had this problem before, except [...]

Benefits of Magnesium

on August 21, 2007 in health, MCS, Tip-sy Tuesday

We were all taught growing up that, if we ate a balanced, healthy diet then we would not really need vitamins and other nutritional supplements. The reality of it is that this is not true at all. In fact, in the US it hasn’t been true at least as far back as 1936. The reasons [...]

The Cost Of Fragrances

on August 9, 2007 in fragrance, health

No, I’m not talking about the price of your favorite perfume and cologne. I have absolutely no information on that subject. What I’m talking about is the hidden costs that you may not have thought about. Let’s look Susan McBride’s Lawsuit.

It’s also about what you eat

on June 12, 2007 in health

All my life I have been a mostly natural person. Growing up, my mom cooked from scratch rather than buying packaged mixes – such as for cakes and cookies. We did have store-bought bread and cookies. But if Mom baked a cake, she started with eggs and flour and baked a cake. One of my [...]

Are fragrances a health issue for you and your family?

on April 9, 2007 in fragrance, health, MCS

Most people are likely to say, “No.” The prevalence of fragranced products makes it hard to isolate them as a cause. I first determined I had a problem with fragrances in 1970. There were not near as many fragrance products in our envinonment back then! Before you answer “No”, answer these questions: Do you or [...]
