What Your Cleaners Do to Local Water


If you forget about the cleaners you use the moment they go down the drain, here's a little reminder.

The above picture was taken of a local creek in the woods near our house. This is a protected forest that is quite beautiful with lovely walking trails. There are some houses located above this creek.

I know the picture isn't very clear. My phone doesn't take very good pictures.
I was looking forward to relaxing by the creek, but was so disheartened when I arrived and saw this.

It is hard to see in this picture, but if you look to right between the large and small rock, there is a triangular white patch that looks like snow. That isn't snow - it's detergent foam.
And to the left what looks like white water of little rapids is actually bubbles.

My poor dog was so thirsty from our walk and I was going to let her drink from the creek, but not after what I saw. I knew it would make her sick.

This is what happens when people use toxic cleaners. The chemicals don't go to some faraway magical place where they mysteriously disappear, they end up in the local water faster than you think. 

This is also could be from people washing their cars with dish soap, which is very toxic or from treating their lawns with pesticides and herbicides.

This creek is one of countless others that run into the river, which just happens to be the water source for most of the homes in the area. 

Yes, it goes through a treatment facility, but it would be naive to think that you can "treat" all the chemicals out of the water. They have to go somewhere.

That is why I can't emphasize enough how important it is to switch to truly biodegradable cleaners like Shaklee's. We must protect our environment for us and our children. We truly do live in a giant fishbowl. All the water we will ever have is right here, right now. We can't make more. That is why it is so important to not pollute the water we have!

Remember, the flush is closer to the tap than you might think.

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...
