Healthy Homes for Children

Look upward: Set thine eyes upon the heights

And striving ever towards the distant goal,

Faint not, but have the faith supreme to know

A glorious destiny awaits thy soul.

Margaret Boswell

From the notes of Chauncey J. Pobanz, “Poems and Sayings”

There is a huge shift in the air. I have felt it in my own life. A move to a new home – that is always a major shift. But even more, I have been drawn to focus more on children – to bring information to their parents, their grandparents – information that can help them help their children have healthy, productive lives.

In the past 15 years I have seen a lot of people affected by the environment they were living in. The things that have stayed with me the most were those homes where the parents did not realize that where they placed their children’s bedrooms, and what they placed in and outside of it, had enormous potential for health impacts on their child. I’ve seen children with all sorts of illnesses, many which we concluded were a direct result of the environment.

It could have been elevated electric fields; it may have been the water quality. It possibly was due to the paint and carpeting in the child’s room – or perhaps it was the materials that their toys were made out of. It is difficult to pinpoint the cause after the result is in place – and this led me to realize that I need to do whatever I can to educate before the results go in the wrong direction.

So now I am on an exciting new journey. I’ve embarked upon a journey to find those families that want a healthy life for their family, especially their children. There are many directions that I can go in to reach people and this – this requires goal setting and mapping out the path.

This leads me back to the poem that started out this blog, at the top of the page. My Grandfather, Chauncey J. Pobanz, a man who became a Methodist minister in mid life, kept a journal that I am fortunate to have in my possession. This particular poem reminds me that all of my goals are being directed by my soul. And that, my friends, is glorious.

Carol Cannon's 9 Bau (Building) Biology Tips for a Healthy Home (& Planet!) (edit/delete)

Happy Earth Day! Today is the day that we celebrate Mother Earth. However, I hope that you celebrate and enjoy her every day! As a Bau (Building) Biologist, I look at how buildings affect humans, and, the planet. Following are some of my favorite tips to create a healthy living environment. Enjoy!

1. Unplug any unnecessary electrical items in your bedroom so you are not sleeping in a "sea" of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Most importantly, keep items such as alarm clocks, tape players, radios at a "safe" distance from your head.

2. Use 100% natural linens for your bed, to avoid allergies. Avoid polyester!

3. Attach a grounded glare guard to an older computer to reduce EMFs and make working much easier on your health. Newer computers have built in lower EMFs.

4. Keep electric calculators, pencil sharpeners and other electronic equipment unplugged until you need to use them. These items emit high EMFs that can negatively impact your health.

5. If you have a sewing machine, keep it unplugged when not in use, as it emits high EMFs.

6. Look for potentially dangerous EMF sources that might be hidden in your bedroom. Avoid placing your bed against a wall that might have one of the following on the other side of the wall: main power source to the building, circuit breaker box, stove, refrigerator, pool pump.

7. When building a new home or building out your new business space, incorporate healthy concepts. Consider using non-toxic glue for carpeting; non-toxic paint for the walls; tile, cork, bamboo or natural carpeting for flooring, and natural fabrics for furniture. These will help prevent out-gassing and will make your environment a healthier and more productive place to be in.

8. Consider using full spectrum lighting in place of fluorescent tubes, particularly in your workspace. This creates the closest lighting to daylight, and relieves much stress in the body.

9. Test your drinking water regularly, even if you have a filter. Consider installing a reverse osmosis or distilled water unit for removal of most "TDS" (total dissolved solids).
