Is your home a healthy home?
If your house is the typical home, you probably use dozens
of cleaning and personal care products purchased at the
local grocery store, which contain chemical ingredients that
could be harmful to your health and the
health of your family.
The typical home now contains over sixty-three
hazardous products that
together contain hundreds of different chemicals. (World
Resources Institute-1994)
Has there been a rise in the incidence of disease?

A century ago the cancer incidence rate was about one
in fifty. Today, one in three Americans will suffer with
cancer. Soon it is expected to reach one in two. Cancer
is the number two killer of adults and the leading cause
of death from disease in children. (Environmental
