If your light bulb breaks — contact the EPA immediately! It’s true that
there is very little mercury in a single CFL. This is why they’re not
considered to be hazardous waste by the EPA. But they are. Over time,
the total amount of mercury vapor from a single broken CFL can be higher
than the amount deemed safe by the EPA. And many CFLs will break.
And, by the way, the EPA is wrong in this designation. Any amount of
mercury is toxic. What’s more, this heavy metal, known to contribute to
neurological problems, is difficult to get out of your body. Most oral
detoxification formulas are ineffective. The most effective one I know
of with good science behind it is PectaSol Chelation Complex.
Just how much mercury is in a CFL? No one knows. If you’re using CFLs,
handle them with care and try not to break them. Contact the EPA at
www.epa.gov/cfl/CFL_brochure.pdf and print out this important
information. Keep it with your spare light bulbs and follow its
recommendations to the letter if one of your bulbs breaks. And never put
a burned out CFL in the trash. Recycle it at designated stores.
By the end of this year, 100 watt bulbs will be unavailable, with lower
wattage bulbs following in another year. Thanks for the information from

Animals are much more vulnerable to poisons than we humans are. Things
that we eat regularly can be poison to our furry friends (and our winged
ones too). Fortunately, no matter what time you get home to that scene,
someone is there to help. If you ever think your pet has ingested
something that could be poisonous for him, you can call Pet Poison
Helpline 24 hours a day (800-213-6680) for advice in treating just about
any species of animal for just about any type of poisoning.

VICKS VapoRub - INTERESTING: During a lecture on Essential Oils,
they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put
garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it. Some
of us have used Vicks VapoRub for years for everything from chapped
lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never
heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although
the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time
coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks
VapoRub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks, and
the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay
stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and
is more effective in children than even very strong prescription
cough medicines. In addition, it is extremely soothing and
comforting and they will sleep soundly.

If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please
pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides
FREE housecleaning - once per month for 4 months while she is in
treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a
note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a
participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the
service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has
547 partners to help these women. It's our job to pass the word and
let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a
blessing to someone, and pass this information along. http://www.cleaningforareason.org/
