With all the scare tactics flying around out there I found it necessary to give an opinion of my own on the topic of the Ebola virus. I want to convey the importance of awareness on this but caution against spreading fear. Knowledge is power. It is important to educate ourselves on the threats out there but it is equally important to see the degree of fear being planted and spread. I highly encourage people to keep their strength and stand up against the fear that comes with this. Time and time again we are fed these frightening stories that make us afraid to step outside. There are many ways to protect yourself. Don't give this any of your energy and simply carry on with your day to day life. It really is that simple. When you give in to fear and start changing things like regular soap to antibacterial and start over using all these extreme measures like chemical wipes and sprays to sanitize your home you are actually making yourself more susceptible to illness because these products actually work against your immune system not with it. The best way to clean and protect your home are with natural products found right in your pantry. With a little time and research you can find how peroxide, vinegar, lemon juice and even baking soda can be beneficial to your home and your body. With little effort at all you can boost your immune system and your families by adding certain herbs to your meals, drinking certain teas, even use essential oils in a diffuser to help clean the air in your home. I also love using fresh cut onions on a plate (I replace them every couple of days). There are many resources out there that will agree and disagree with the above statements I have made but realize that I am living proof that the things I have shared with you all work for my family and myself. We have dodged every cold flu and virus thus far. My children have missed 95% less school due to illness in the past three years since I have started using the items I share above. This really is a life style change in the since that you are standing up for your family and yourself and saying NO MORE!!! No more fear of disease no more fear of the harmful chemicals and no more hurting yourself and the ones you love by using harmful products that truly do not protect you. I hope this helps everybody with an interest to stand up and say NO MORE!!!
