Are You Sleeping in a Dangerous, Electrically Polluted Bedroom?

Are You Sleeping in a Dangerous, Electrically Polluted Bedroom?
Vicki Warren of Bau-Biologie talks about how to create a sleeping sanctuary.
Bau-biologie is a term from Germany that means “building biology,” and it is at the forefront of intertwining the nurturing feelings of nature with the places in which you live and work. This is the holistic approach to the “built environment.”
5 Things to look out for:
1. ONLY battery operated devices near your bed
2. Turn of the bedroom circuit breaker plugs at night
3 Eliminate or at least shield from all radio frequency or wireless
4. Use beds without metal
5. Make sure there are no elevated magnetic fields

How Your House and Office Makes or Breaks Your Health
My personal comment:
If you are like most people, you spend most of your life in your home and in the office (like me) and the materials used in those spaces can have a huge impact on your physical as well as emotional health. Over time the body absorbs ANY number of potentially toxic substances that are existing freely around us on a daily basis.
These also include:
Toxic gases for example from paints, cleansers, air fresheners, vinyl floors, carpets, upholstery fabrics, and … and … and …(to many to mention), can cause cancer, damage your liver, kidney and also the central nervous system. Certain wood products used for decks and playground equipment that are pressure-treated are treated with pesticides that contain arsenic. Formaldehyde is emitted into your home’s air from engineered wood products that are commonly used to make cabinets, furniture and wall panelling. The flame retardant known as PBDEs is contained in foam furniture padding, which is HIGHLY toxic and now shows up even in breast milk!
Have you ever thought about the environment you live and work in?
The chemicals that are floating around you?
How it can have a dramatic impact on your state of mind?
Some of us may not be able to build a new home with all natural materials. But there is no reason why you can’t make ’small’ changes and bring some “healthy” material into your home and your work space.
How about bamboo flooring? Avoiding chemical cleansers? Air-fresheners? Detergents? Have you ever considered full spectrum- lighting to have the benefits of natural sunlight indoors? How about adding some houseplants at home or in your office? And most of all, spend some time in a natural environment as often as possible. Maybe in places like Arundel Wildfowl and Wetland Trust. This is where I go about three times a week. I am sure that wherever you live, that there are some nice places in your area. You can always share them with us and also what changes in your “space” you have made lately.
