Welcome...
If
you suffer from chronic headaches, migraines, asthma, allergies, chronic
sinus stuffiness, joint pain, chronic fatigue, or any of a number of other
vague symptoms and your doctor can not find a medical cause, your environment
may be the culpret. Homes, schools, workplaces, and shopping centers
-- virtually any indoor environment -- can all harbor chemical and biological
pollutants that can lead to chronic health complaints. Understanding
your environment and the factors that can lead to symptoms can be your
first step toward living a healthier life.
This
website is intended for anybody who suffers from chronic health problems,
as well as anybody interested in protecting their health or the health
of their children and family members. Information within these pages
includes articles and reports, steps to create a less toxic environment
for you and your family, personal and professional resources for information,
and personal experiences. Information is updated regularly, so check
back often.
