Cleaning Products Cause Asthma
Exposure to fumes emitted by cleaning products in the home could cause asthma in children, a study shows. The study found that children exposed to higher levels of volatile organic compounds were four times more likely to suffer from asthma than children who were not.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are found in solvents, paints, floor adhesives, cleaning products, polishes, room fresheners and fitted carpets, the study said.
The study included 88 children who were treated for asthma at the emergency department of the Princess Margaret Hospital in Perth.
The study also found that volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations were higher in homes where people smoked indoors, as well as homes that had been recently painted or had new carpets. VOCs are carcinogenic (cancer causing) and some may be significantly related to asthma.

Asthma
Dr. Keith & Laurie Nemec comments:
Asthma and respiratory disease (which is the fourth leading cause of death in America) are a large cause of not living life to the fullest.
Important things we can learn about asthma and respiratory disease:
1. Use the most natural cleaning supplies, always buy them at the health food store.
2. Remove carpets, they are extremely toxic, a mold and dust collector and a major health hazard not only for asthma and respiratory disease but also for your entire health.
3. When painting use only the best non-toxic paints available.
4. Purchase the best air purifiers that have a combination of ionization, ozonation, and ultraviolet.
5. Do not look at asthma and respiratory disease as diseases to take something or do something to get rid of them. There are steps you can take to help manage asthma and respiratory disease which have been mentioned in these articles but the most important step is to not look at the effect which is the disease but instead focus on the cause, the root cause of imbalance in your body, mind and emotions that will cause anything from asthma to cancer to depression to heart disease. Take your eyes off the things and start a journey into total health so that you will make an environment where NO DISEASE, CONDITION OR SYMPTOM could ever develop or grow in. Remember your problem is not your asthma or your respiratory disease, it is not your cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disease, your chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia your anxiety/depression. Your problem is that you have broken the fundamental law of sowing and reaping and have not taken care of your body (the temple of God’s Spirit). You are not living the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health™. Once you start living the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health™ everyday of your life, you will absolutely see changes and balance will start to be restored to your being and you will see a progressive decrease in your symptoms, condition and diseases.
Some additional action steps you can take with asthma and respiratory disease are:
1. Asthma is linked to carbohydrate maldigestion/malabsorption so get away from the refined sugar and flour. They will always make it worse.
2. Asthma is related to general maldigestion from the stomach. This is why those with reflux or heartburn have a higher incidence of asthma. Start decreasing the digestive load by eating more living/raw plant food which are uncooked and higher in enzymes. When food is cooked the enzymes are destroyed which causes a tremendous digestive burden for your system. This result in heartburn, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, bloating and gas. This will change as you eat less cooked food more living/raw plant food. If you eat cooked food make sure you take DIGEST-P digestive enzymes with every meal.
3. Dairy products are the number one food allergen and they clog and congest the sinuses, respiratory tract and the digestive tract. This clogging and congestion will worsen all respiratory tract disorders, so eliminate them as soon as possible.
Spirit
What is your spirit? It is the part of your being that operates in the following four functions:
1. Consciousness/Awareness
2. Intuition
3. Communion/communication with God
4. Body/Mind/Spirit Covenant Executor
What is consciousness/awareness?
This is the knowing the Truth in your heart, not your head or mind. This function of your spirit knows the Truth when it hears or sees it, and it also knows the lies. It knows the Truth because your spirit is God’s breath in you, it is God in you and God is only Truth, there is no lie, so your spirit hears, sees, and knows only Truth. The problem today is that most people are ruled by their old world, ego, flesh, lie-filled minds instead of their Truth-filled hearts/spirits. Their spirits tell them the Truth in their hearts but they cannot hear the still, small voice of the Spirit (like drops of Truth on the still pond of your heart) amidst the raging waves of the ocean of the old minds. If one can train himself/herself to still the raging waves of the ocean of his/her mind, then he/she will indeed hear the drops of Truth that are always falling on the Truth-filled pond of his/her heart. Tomorrow we will cover what intuition is. Learn more on this topic in the Seven Basic Steps to Total Health™, Seven Stages of Energetic Healing and the How to Know You are Healed audio series.
