So there's really not a need for a disinfectant in the home.
I mean, originally those chemicals, a lot of them were made for like chemical warfare and they should be used with very, very, very carefully and really like high stake, you know, infectious situations like in hospitals.
But we haven't had a disinfectant in our home in 20 years.
Yes, then outdoor air.
The home inside is typically about two to five times more toxic than outdoor air.
And we're talking about measuring in toxic cities.
We're not talking about, you know, country land.
But when you clean, it's up to a thousand times more toxic.
And what was that?
There was a 20 year study out of Denmark.
I think there was 6,000 people involved and they found that the use of conventional cleaning products was equivalent of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
How sad is that?
Again, the very products that we are bringing inside of our home to create a clean environment for our family are actually the ones that are undermining our family's health.

And then once I was opened up to that notion and started opening my windows, HEPA vacuuming, I mean, that alone, guys, because you may be someone that's like, well, shoot, we just moved into a brand new house or we didn't have much control over this or we just built something or we just painted.
