Published on Leave a comment on Concerning: Trendy Indoor Wood Burning Stoves Found To Be As Bad For The Lungs As Smoking According To New Study

This will be Baffling to a lot of Folks and I will see if it has to do with burning Green Wood and something else people commonly buy to use in them that does the damage. It sounds so Serious, it could be taken as Fearmongering but I found a number of Links on Google when I checked this out. It’s after midnight here, so I will include 2 Google Links as well. OK? I’m into Protecting People, not Fearmongering. I’ve often wondered about those Stoves to be honest because of the Fumes from a few neighbours Stoves.

Wood-burning stoves can damage the lungs in a similar way to cigarette smoke, researchers have warned.

The study, presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam, showed those who used wood stoves lost lung capacity more quickly than non-users – even though they tended to be wealthier, healthier and less likely to smoke.

Scientists examined data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, which tracks the health of thousands of people. 

They analysed repeated lung function tests over eight years, measuring FEV1 – the amount of air a person can forcefully exhale in the first second of a breath. …

I INTEND TO HAVE INFO FROM OTHER AUTHORS HERE

Endocrine disruptors like PFAS, BPA, and Phthalates lurk in everything
from Cleaning Products to Dust Bunnies.

By Alexandra Zissu – Author of The Conscious Kitchen and Co-Author of Planet Home and The Complete Organic Pregnancy

Recent June 2025 Article

You may remember learning in Biology Class that our bodies are run by a Network of Hormones and Glands that regulate everything we do. Most often, we think about this system—our Endocrine System—in the context of Puberty, but it actually plays a starring role in All phases of Development, Metabolism and Behavior.

Here’s the bad news: Synthetic Chemicals in products like Plastics and Fragrances can Mimic Hormones and interfere with or disrupt the Delicate Endocrine Dance. We’re exposed to these chemicals daily, and we’re especially vulnerable to them during phases of accelerated development—including throughout Childhood or a Pregnancy. Fetuses are also particularly at risk. Some of the impacts on our Metabolism and Immune, Nervous, and Reproductive Systems can have long-term and even lifetime adverse health effects, such as Learning Disabilities, Obesity, Diabetes, Reproductive Problems (including infertility), and Cancer. 

“We have very tight developmental windows of when, say, our Brain and Reproductive Organs are formed,” explains NRDC Senior Scientist Dr.…

Published on Leave a comment on If You Heard These 10 Phrases As A Child, You Were Raised By People Who Never Healed From Their Own Trauma

By Farley Ledgerwood

Is This You Or Your Parents? Healing From Traumas - It Is Possible!

Some wounds don’t end with the person who got hurt.

They get passed down—quietly, unconsciously—from parent to child. Not always through actions. Sometimes, it’s through words. Offhand phrases. Things said in anger or stress or fear. Words that, at the time, might have sounded like discipline or “tough love,” but left a mark that still lingers today.

I’ve heard these phrases in friends’ stories, in quiet confessions over coffee, and even from people who weren’t sure why certain memories still sting.

In most cases, the parents weren’t bad people. They were tired. Overwhelmed. Still hurting from things they never fully processed. And without realizing it, they handed some of that pain to the next generation.

Parents Need To Heal From Trauma
and So Do You

If you grew up hearing any of these phrases, you might have been raised by someone who never got the healing they needed. And that’s not about blame—it’s about understanding.

Because healing often begins with recognizing what we’ve absorbed—and deciding what we won’t pass on.

Published on Leave a comment on 9 Flowers You Can Grow To Ward Off Bugs And Other Pests

Having bugs in and around your home, garden, patio, or yard can be frustrating. Not to mention, they're especially hard to get rid of. While powerful, inexpensive insecticides can help eliminate these nuisances, they can also introduce harmful chemicals into your living space. 

Looking for a natural way to get rid of bugs and other pesky critters? Then know that many flowers offer protection against them. According to the Malaria Journal, certain plants and flowers contain compounds that insects find toxic, resulting in an effective repellent that can keep them out of your garden or home. Ultimately, this will mean seeing fewer pests, such as mosquitos, fleas, cockroaches, flies, and more, all year long.

Purple Onion Flowers - Wards Off Bugs

So, if you want to enjoy your time indoors or outdoors without annoying insects, there are plenty of blossoms out there that may be the solution you're looking for. Whether you're a novice or someone with a green thumb, you'll be sure to find the right bug-repelling flowering plant in this comprehensive guide.

Published on Leave a comment on Medical Profession: It Is A Sickness Industry NOT A Health Profession – Please Know The Difference!

Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

They run everything as a SYSTEM - they have Streamlined Everything to give as little Time and Attention as Possible..........they are doing Exactly that.

It's Pure Greed, and so maddening for many People. It is often dangerous too because wrong decisions can be made in those short few minutes - by the "Practitioner" or "Patient" what we accept.

It is not Respectful, Courteous or Wise to pass People through like products on a Conveyer Belt in a place of Manufacture. Yes, it's Insensitive and Mercinary - this SYSTEM and we can do much better for ourselves - believe me - and most of us don't Stop and think "there are Options" but some People have, and are happier for having made that decision.

I generally don't go to the Medical Profession if there's a Health issue of some kind - being a Natural Health Researcher, I can address things myself.

Two Caring Medicos in a Video I watched on YouTube this week, Dr Mike and Dr Marty Makary, are Waking up to some things while still blind about other things.

What did the study find?

The study, which was published in , had 11 adults sit in an ergonomic chair for eight hours, getting up only for bathroom breaks and to do a recommended exercise “snack." The researchers looked at five different exercise "snacks" (short bursts of exercise): doing one minute of walking for every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute of walking after 60 minutes, five minutes for every 30 minutes of sitting, five minutes every 60 minutes, and no walking.…

My husband and I found a sinkhole in our backyard. When we received a high bid to fix it, we decided to D.I.Y. the project following our contractor friend's detailed instructions.

Published on 1 Comment on Happiness: Is It Luck or Discipline?

Learn how to cultivate happiness through mindful choices and healthy habits.

Robert Puff Ph.D. - Psychology Today

Have you ever looked at someone who seems to radiate joy and wondered, "Are they just lucky?" It's easy to assume that people who seem to have had easier lives—stable families, good education, successful careers—are simply fortunate when it comes to happiness. Conversely, we might believe those who have faced significant challenges are destined to struggle to find joy.

But is happiness just a matter of luck? After a lifetime of exploring this question, I've come to a different conclusion.

Learning from Life's Challenges

Throughout my life, I've sought out individuals who seem genuinely happy, regardless of their external circumstances. These aren't necessarily the wealthiest, most attractive, or most accomplished individuals. They are simply people who seem to be thriving, despite whatever life throws their way. And when I ask them about the turning point in their lives, the moment that led to their current state of well-being, the answer is always the same: challenges.

These individuals have faced difficulties, just like everyone else. But instead of being defeated by them, they learned and grew from their experiences.…
