Who Are We?

Hi, my name is JoAnn and I'm a Mom to three boys, 20, 19 and 9 in Florida. I moved here from home in Copperopolis, California. (Click here to find out where the heck that is!) That's myself and my youngest in the picture to the left. I was born a "navy brat" in Jacksonville, Florida, my parents moved like gypsies across the U.S. and we settled in California. We travel a lot with most of our trips to Florida where we enjoy our time with friends, family and many activities like boating, fishing and theatre.

My crusade to expose the truth began with the cancer related deaths of several family members. With new gadgets and chemicals constantly being introduced into our lives and our environment, it seemed no wonder to me 'why' these things happened. As I learned more about the chemicals in our lives, their links to illnesses of pets, humans and the environment, and the corporate lyrics of deceit, I decided I had to do more than just learn. I had to tell others. It made sense to me to get involved with social networking on the internet to spread the knowledge and helping others too!

My mission is to help others create healthier environments for children, families, pets and protecting the planet for them to enjoy for generations to come!

This Is A True Story ...

It all started when my son began coughing at night, I had many thoughts go through my head. Was he catching something? Did he have something in his throat? Was he developing asthma? He'd wake up in the morning a little sleepy and sometimes he'd be late for school. I started to investigate.

I started with the foods in his diet. Eliminating certain sugars, whey and peanuts was what the doctor recommended. When that didn't stop the coughing, I tried buying healthier cleaning products made from tea tree oil. Thinking since it's natural, it was safe. Well, it turned out to be worse, for him AND for me, AND the dog! A long story made very short, I was beginning to give up. Then an obvious connection was made.

One day, I was cleaning his bathroom with a spray cleaner that was supposed to be better for our health and it turned out to be at least one culprit in his symptoms. A few hours later, he came home from school, went into his room and started coughing. I was wondering why and started to go through it all in my mind, then realized that it had to be the cleaners I had used. I was shocked that it had been several hours later and he still had acute symptoms. I looked up the ingredients on the bottle and found the ingredients were directly linked to asthma! Natural or not, they cause respiratory distress.

What I Found Will Shock You!

I'd had enough! So, I went searching for products that had non toxic, environmentally friendly products that didn't just "claim" their safety but actually had proof. Also, it was important that I keep some money in my pocket! Some of these safer cleaners are expensive! Which ones worked? Which ones were non toxic? Which ones were other people talking about? I searched for people who were already having similar problems and what they found.

I found many "testimonials" as to their business of selling products, but nothing unbiased. To get these products you had to join with a membership first, then you have to order every month or you get sent a package anyway! NO THANKS!

Then I researched the claims of being organic, or green and couldn't believe how many lies were out there. Even the Clorox Co with their Green Works weren't being truthful.

So I stumbled upon some videos and blogs about homemade cleaners and have never looked back! One product from the above research that I DO use and trust, is Basic H2 from Shaklee. If you want some, email me and I'll tell you how to get it the cheapest and without joining!

After clearing out my home of everything else and replacing it all with these simple recipes, I'm happy to report that my son's coughing has completed stopped. I know it was my household cleaners. We're saving our health, our home and our planet using a much better product line.
