Why Do I Still Have Toxic Cleaning Products?

Before my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, I knew very little about the disease and what kinds of things caused it. As I have been learning, I have been taking preventative measures in my own life for my health. It has been hard though, I must say. For one, I love soda pop and still haven't been able to completely kick the habit along with many other eating habits I have developed over my life time thus far.

I was cleaning my shower the other day and for those of you who have glass doors on your shower, you know how HARD it is to clean. Soap scum is so hard to clean off. So, I tried several different chemicals and as I was cleaning, I started to feel a little dizzy and began to acquire the beginning stages of what was going to turn out to be a full blown headache. I stopped cleaning and it was like the light went on and I said to myself, "WHAT AM I DOING?". I realized that each time I inhale those fumes, I am creating build up on my brain and not to mention my lunges and all other areas that are sensitive to toxins.

So, today I am getting rid of all toxic products and starting fresh with environmentally safe products. That is the easiest thing I've had to do so far being on this Alzheimer's journey. The most debilitating health problems facing Americans is the common use of carcinogenic chemicals in common cleaners and degreasers. Undetectable toxic fumes invade the brain and other body organs with every breath. This is a no-brainer to me and I obviously was not using my brain (no pun) by keeping these products around for use as long as I have. Shame on me! Let's continue to fight Alzheimer's disease!
