What's the Smell of Clean?

Is it lemony or piney or fantastiky or gladey or is it...? Just what is the smell of clean to you? To me the smell of clean is a long, deep breath with no smell at all. Now that's the clean that you can build a long healthy life on. That's the smell you want your kids getting from the air in your house. Unfortunately it's not the smell most children get to experience.

We get a really good healthy feeling when we've just cleaned our house, but unfortunately we may have just made it more "dirty" than it was before. You wouldn't let your baby play with the toxic chemicals under your sink. Why is it any better for them to play on the floors you just cleaned with those same toxic chemicals?

The EPA says that our homes are 2 to 5, and sometimes even 10, times more polluted than the outdoor environment and we spend up to 90% of our time inside. Did you know that over 90% of poison exposures happen in our homes and bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in these poisonings.

What should we do about the unsafe environments in our homes? Is there a way to clean them up?

I asked Robin to tape the Oprah show last Friday because I had heard Oprah might feature the all natural and safe cleaning products that I was introduced to 28 years ago. These products are an excellent option for folks who are concerned about what their current cleaners are doing to their family's health like I was and yet they still want to get really clean and be gentle on their environment like I did. I like the products so much that I've decided to spread the word and market them myself.

Well the products were highlighted on Oprah's show and the company gave the studio audience a nice starter basket full of household cleaners. Don't you wish you'd been there?

Oprah says she's a big fan of the organic super concentrated Cleaner. "Use a couple of drops of this, and it's amazing," she says. "You can clean the windows. You can clean the counters. … You can clean everything!"

I'll meet you further on up the road.

Starving Ourselves Fat

Where do you find the most nutritious food in the grocery store? I think most everyone knows it's the food around the edges of the store: things like fresh fruits and vegetables. These are the foods that provide the most nutrition. However, they often cost more and they don't have a long shelf life. As as result, I'm told that 90% of our food consumption is the food from the middle of the store: the processed foods.

If 90% of the food we eat is from the low nutrition category, is it possible that we are starving ourselves fat. We eat and eat but are never satisfied. Is it possible that our bodies know we aren't getting the nutrition we need so they tell us to keep eating and eating? I think we are starving for nutrition while we are getting way too many calories and getting fatter and fatter.

I've found that when I eat highly processed food I never get full. I've also found that when I eat high quality fruits and vegetables I do get full and don't want any more food until I'm really hungry again.

I know from experience that my weight comes down to a normal range when I eliminate most all processed food from my diet.

We need to change our food paradigm and look for high value food instead of the low cost, low value foods in the middle of the grocery store.

I'll meet you further on up the road.

Results So Far...

New Health Paradigm Needed

I define a paradigm as the mental framework on which our ideas are placed and take shape. In recent history, most of our healthcare paradigm has been based on our own denial of primary responsibility for our own health. Another aspect of our broken paradigm is that we view our health as a series of separate events rather than as a process or a journey. A hindrance to healthy living is that we tend to view our bodies as immortal, invincible, and not needing maintenance.

This broken paradigm has led us into our current healthcare crisis where individuals are treated as rats for research and resources for the extrusion of profits. Most healthcare professionals are not in agreement with the way things are but, nevertheless, they are this way because the system insures it. In other words the paradigm is broken.

Here are some thought changes that we can make to begin to escape the broken paradigm:

Old Thinking	New Thinking

Doctor, fix me!
Doctor, let's work together

Pop a pill
Adopt a lifestyle

Do a diet
Discipline to change habits

Eat for pleasure
Eat for fuel

Run off some pounds
Train for strength, endurance and health

I'll always be young
I want to grow old like Jack LaLanne
