Does Your House Smell?

Does Your House Smell?

SMELL! The sound ofrepparttar word itself brings a poor feeling out of most people. Granted, in some cultures [like France], smells evoke a hint of romance. To most cultures it evokes repparttar 113846 need to clean outrepparttar 113847 refrigerator.

When doctors can’t seem to keep people well, they often call us to checkrepparttar 113848 patient’s home for infectious materials like mold.

One thing is common to all these houses – smell. Sometimes we can follow our noses torepparttar 113849 cause of these diseases.

When we go into schools, we tend to notice thatrepparttar 113850 more repparttar 113851 school smells,repparttar 113852 more kids have ADHD.

Inrepparttar 113853 Middle Ages, physicians believed diseases, likerepparttar 113854 plague, were caused by smells and gases. One treatment for repparttar 113855 plague was roses. Rememberrepparttar 113856 old rhyme, “Roses, Roses, We all fall down.”

No smell doesn’t cause diseases. But things that stink can cause many diseases.

TRASH This, of course, isrepparttar 113857 most obvious. Flies and other bugs eatrepparttar 113858 trash and then bite us. Solution: Cleanrepparttar 113859 trash can. Few families have enough trash to cause disease. But we have seen some. Some people never throw away anything. Stacks of newspapers in a moist environment can feed many infectious agents.

GAS No, not an upset stomach. We had one family that had a sick child. His bedroom door was besiderepparttar 113860 gas fireplace inrepparttar 113861 den. We walked intorepparttar 113862 house and immediately calledrepparttar 113863 gas company becauserepparttar 113864 gas fireplace had a leak. That was a simple case.

Some people close their garage door after parkingrepparttar 113865 car. The hot car will give off gases for up to 20 minutes. The same thing will happen if you park a hot lawn mower inrepparttar 113866 crawlspace underrepparttar 113867 house.

MOISTURE This isrepparttar 113868 biggest cause of stinky homes AND sick kids.

We were invited to investigate a home where 2 kids were sick. Their immune systems were so compromised that their doctor pulled them out of school. She was afraid that they would pick up something from another child. In their compromised state they would be unable to fight off even a simple cold.

Their laundry room was stinky.

The mother saved every newspaper she had ever bought and she stored them inrepparttar 113869 laundry room. The mold that fed offrepparttar 113870 paper and moisture combination was killing her kid’s white blood cells.

Enzymes: Your Seven Step Guide, Part 1

This guide outlinesrepparttar 113846 steps and processes to take in reading product labels, matching enzymes to food types, and what to look for in a digestive enzyme product.

Enzymes work very well to supplement a diet and thus makerepparttar 113847 diet more effective than it would be otherwise. Many diets are based on certain foods not being well-digested to begin with so enzymes are a natural solution. Enzymes work very well on food and natural food chemicals. The breakdown of artificially produced chemicals or added chemicals is somewhat limited at this time. These non-good ingredients usually do not provide nutrition anyway, may aggravate a sensitive system, and may hamper health inrepparttar 113848 long run. Enzymes are not able to convert non-nutritious compounds into healthful nutrients. Providing nutritious raw materials is necessary. Too, enzymes may enhancerepparttar 113849 absorption and utilization of any supplements or medications take, making them more effective.

Inrepparttar 113850 case of Bio88+ (Plus), allrepparttar 113851 above is true. Feel free to contactrepparttar 113852 author by email for additional information.

Part 1. Why are you considering enzymes?

Select an enzyme product based onrepparttar 113858 results you want to achieve. Think aboutrepparttar 113859 food groups you wantrepparttar 113860 enzymes to break down, and then pick a product that containsrepparttar 113861 proper enzymes. Products are usually a mixture of enzymes, not just one type. You may need to choose more than one product to cover allrepparttar 113862 foods you need to break down. Sometimes you may have another goal besides food breakdown. Examples are using a high protease enzyme product to take between meals for inflammation, gut healing, and blood cleansing, or one with a high level of cellulase to help with yeast overgrowth.

Skip right through allrepparttar 113863 advertising and marketing fluff. Note what end results you want to see and use that to make your decision. You can get some helpful information from a company but be sure to compare this information with other sources as well.

Part 2. What types of enzymes are inrepparttar 113864 product?

Source of enzymes All digestive enzymes come from two living sources: plants or animals. The plant group includes both those enzymes derived from plant sources (pineapple, papaya, kiwi) and microbial (fungal) sources. In general, plant enzymes are preferable when possible. They offer several advantages over enzymes from animal sources. Plant and microbial enzymes are much more effective inrepparttar 113865 pH and temperature ranges ofrepparttar 113866 body.

Our pancreas, when working properly, secretes a number of enzymes to digest food as it entersrepparttar 113867 small intestine. But as we age, or in some disease states, this enzyme secretion may not be adequate to completely digestrepparttar 113868 food we eat. This can result in pain, cramping, excessive gas, certain food intolerances, and inflammation. Pancreatic enzymes are available by prescription (Creon, Viokase) or overrepparttar 113869 counter. However, pancreatic enzymes are not stable torepparttar 113870 acid conditions found inrepparttar 113871 stomach, so a good portion of them may be destroyed unlessrepparttar 113872 preparation is treated in such a way, like being enterically coated, so thatrepparttar 113873 enzymes will not be released until they arrive inrepparttar 113874 small intestine.

Plant and microbial enzymes, however, are stable in acidic conditions. They help digestrepparttar 113875 cooked and raw foods inrepparttar 113876 higher pH ofrepparttar 113877 upper part ofrepparttar 113878 stomach,repparttar 113879 acidic lower part ofrepparttar 113880 stomach as well as inrepparttar 113881 alkaline intestines. Digestion inrepparttar 113882 upper stomach actually mimicsrepparttar 113883 natural process of eating raw foods, which contain some amount ofrepparttar 113884 enzymes needed to break downrepparttar 113885 food itself. The additional ‘pre-digestion’ provided by plant and microbial enzymes leavesrepparttar 113886 pancreas to providerepparttar 113887 ‘finishing touches’ torepparttar 113888 digestive process in a less stressful manner. The intestinal tract will be better able to absorb and assimilaterepparttar 113889 nutrients and vitamins inrepparttar 113890 meal.

Is an all in one enzyme product better or a speciality product with only a few different types of enzymes? Actually,repparttar 113891 “all-in-one” product is probably better if? If it meetsrepparttar 113892 quality and scope of Bio88+ (Plus). Read on and learn about this product here and on its web site, as well as allrepparttar 113893 other competing products available. But your need may be of a narrower scope and so you would not needrepparttar 113894 quality nor expense of such an all-in-one product!

There are advantages and disadvantages to each strategy and which is ‘best’ will depend onrepparttar 113895 individual situation and particular product. Here are some considerations.

‘Everything’ product – A comprehensive product alleviatesrepparttar 113896 need to think about which enzymes go with which foods, so it may be easier to give just one thing. You can take it for overall digestion whenever you eat. However there are dozens of products claiming to be ‘the ultimate’ or ‘most comprehensive’ enzyme product, using very different amounts of different enzymes. Consider any blanket statements like this to be marketing jargon.

Product Toleration – Some people cannot tolerate certain enzymes for a variety of reasons. Having separate formulations allows many more people to enjoyrepparttar 113897 benefits of enzymes because they can eliminaterepparttar 113898 enzymes they do not tolerate. Having everything in one capsule makes it an ‘all or nothing’ deal. If someone reacts negatively to a formulation, and allrepparttar 113899 enzymes are lumped together, there is no way forrepparttar 113900 person to fine-tune it, or figure out what isrepparttar 113901 problem.
