When Clean Isn’t Safe: An Eye-Opening Experience

Cindy’s Story
I grew up like most people—using all the familiar store-bought cleaners for my home, dishes, laundry, and even personal care. I was also exposed to secondhand smoke from birth and later became a smoker myself (thankfully, I quit after 10 years). I now live with emphysema.
About 14 years ago, a friend from church told me about The Wellness Company. I figured I’d give it a try and started with the Value Pack. Little by little, I swapped out the products I was used to—and I was amazed. Everything I tried worked better than what I had been using!

Then, a couple of years in, I had a moment I’ll never forget. I walked into my house and was hit with a STRONG smell of bleach—turns out my roommate couldn’t find the Tub & Tile cleaner and grabbed an old bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles I thought I’d tossed. He was cleaning upstairs, and I could smell it all the way downstairs.
That was my wake-up call.

I’m so thankful I made the switch when I did—not just for my own lungs, but for my pets too. If you’re still using harsh chemicals or are living with COPD or similar conditions, please consider making a change. Safer products do make a difference. Your life could depend on it—mine certainly does.

Aspirin tips

If you take an aspirin every day, it’s best to take it at night. The reason: aspirin has a “half-span” of 24 hours. So if most heart attacks happen in the morning, the aspirin in your body will be at its peak then.

Aspirins can last for many years in your small home pharmacy, but not really because as they get older they smell like vinegar.

Why keep aspirin on your bedside table?

Besides pain in the left arm, there are other symptoms that indicate a heart attack:

  • Intense pain in the chin and jaw 
  • Nausea 
  • Heavy sweating

Note: In a heart attack it is possible that you have NO chest pain.

If you ever wake up to intense chest pains…

  • Immediately swallow two aspirins with a little water
  • Call 911 and say “heart attack”! Also mention that you took two aspirin
  • Sit on a chair by the front door and wait for rescue

DO NOT LAY DOWN!”

Working my magic

I was asked “can you do your magic on these”? while being shown a pair of filthy sneakers.
I love a good challenge!

It’s crazy to think that plants are this powerful! Twenty years ago I would have pulled out the Clorox and not thought twice about the warning label. Today I took a better Ecosense way and look at the results—they look new!
I’m so glad I found a safer way, to get the job done, without jeopardizing our health!

I’m 21 Years Clean!

I’m proud to say that 21 years ago I made a decision to start detoxing my home of chemicals.

I must say it took me a while to make the decision. I basically had to after being admitted to hospital for the umpteenth time with life-threatening asthma and numerous lung infections. Having asthma, I was careful, I avoided smokey places, avoided perfume-y places, avoided too hot air or too cold air. But I wasn’t avoiding chemicals in my environment.

My lungs couldn’t handle the chemicals in the products I was using bot at home and at work. I knew if the chemicals existed in my home (like formaldehyde in the carpeting) and I knew they affected me, but I had come to the breaking point. I had to remove the ones I could and fast. I wanted to breathe!

Through a friend I found the Wellness Store and I’ve never gone back to my old standbys. I the first few weeks I saw an improvement in my breathing and energy levels. My new chemical-free products worked just as well —if not better than my old ones. The fact they are cleaner, greener and more affordable is just a plus.

The Wellness Store for the win. Isn’t it time you join me celebrating good health?
