on December 2, 2008 in ada, fragrance lawsuit, Tip-sy Tuesday

I’ve been busy with work lately so it may seem that I’ve nearly abandoned this blog. But I haven’t. My hubby spied this article for me: Judge says perfume lawsuit can proceed. Sounds like it will be a real long haul – it’s already been a year and 4+ months! One step at a time.

Toxins in Air Fresheners

on August 12, 2008 in fragrance, fragrance free, Tip-sy Tuesday, VOCs

Our local television news last week had an item about the toxins in air fresheners. I always have to remind myself that the general public isn’t aware of things like this – so it really is news to many people. The news article was based on research by Anne Steinemann, a University of Washington professor [...]

Do you prefer flavor or health?

on August 5, 2008 in MCS, Tip-sy Tuesday

Although the title of this blog suggests it is strictly about inhaled substances, I really like to address all things related to MCS or Environmental Illness or even Randolph’s Disease. This week the topic is excitotoxins. From the book, The Magnesium Miracle by Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D., an excitotoxin is one of a group of [...]

Tracking the Symptoms

on July 1, 2008 in Tip-sy Tuesday

Anyone with MCS is painfully aware of the variety of symptoms that are MCS. And that is a major reason that so many people want to deny that it is real. But that isn’t really what I want to address today. Instead, I thought it would be good for us all to share our particular [...]

Do Unto Others…

on June 17, 2008 in fragrance free, health, reader comments, Tip-sy Tuesday

Yes, the Golden Rule applies here: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” If you had an allergy or other condition that was worsened in the presence of some substance, you would want to avoid it. And it should be reasonable to ask friends, family and co-workers to help by not [...]

Tips for a Healthier Environment

on June 10, 2008 in fragrance free, health, non-toxic, Tip-sy Tuesday

I’m not taking credit for these suggestions. You can read EWG’s original article – 10 Everyday Pollution Solutions. I just wanted to list them here with some thoughts of my own. Use cast iron pans instead of nonstick. I have always hated the idea of Teflon. Even before knowing about the toxic, bird-killing gases. The [...]
