Ok so entirely inappropriate chapter at 69%. The book still has tremendous value. I personally skipped over it. So unnecessary. Anyways, do not let children read this chapter. There is plenty of other 'bits' of bologna but that part is offensive and would be terribly damaging to innocent consciences!
Interesting parts of the book. Baby products. Wow I had no idea they contained damaging chemicals!
Paint...ok we are all going to paint and I would hate to see the cost of 'organic' paint! Or paint without harmful chemicals. It does stand as a good reminded to ventilate thoroughly when you are painting. A lot of our friends have air purifiers and though expensive~they are a wonderful idea.
There is even a paint product that absorbs the dangerous chemicals in the air around it. Neat!
I like her suggestions about making your own herbal bath salts. Only problem, we have a 'jacuzzi' tub in our room and you are not supposed to put 'oil' products in the water...Hmmmm.
Her composting idea, as I mentioned before is a great idea. We decided to start on in a black garbage can on the deck, directly outside the kitchen door. Next to it is a bucked of dirt and a shovel so I can throw dirt over the contents whenever I add them. We had a little trouble with the horse dragging it down yesterday but...they are back in their front pen as the clover is grown up enough for a snack for them now.
Ive been researching online about how you can make your own soap, deodorant and lip balm. They even sell empty deodorant containers! Aluminum is a big problem and related to Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's and other serious malady's.
Another point of disagreement I would have with her is on the section of nutrition. She says that in order to have skin that is unaffected by dangerous UV rays to eat a 'low fat' diet. Well Im not sure which type of fats she is talking about. Im also currently reading 'How to Cure Tooth Decay'. One of the main things we are lacking in our diet is healthy fats....that will be the next book recommendation. Another book I dont 'entirely' agree with but has much much more good than not!
Currently on the 'juicing' chapter....hope to finish this 'sort of book recommendation' soon:)

I downloaded this book but haven't started to read it yet, which chapter should i entirely skip? Also, you should join the homesteading group if you haven't already - they covered lip balm (something about plantain and beeswax) and other personal hygiene stuff.
On a side note don't try to read labels while grocery shopping with 3 small children :-O
Yes Ive joined that group! Not too much action on it...well actually I should double check that Im on that group now that a I think of it! Here is another side note; dont bother to try to read the lables without your glasses!LOL! I cant mention the name of the chapter but it is #35. Ill head over to The Homeschool Channel and see if Im on it...thanks!
