found your site on del.icio.us today and really liked it.. i bookmarked it and will be back to check it out some more later
It’s getting really hard to avoid all these toxins.
I found this one website that teaches how to test for Mercury and other heavy metals at home. I started testing things around the house and I’ve already found some items that quickly found their way to the garbage can.
If anyone else is interested, just Google: “home-health-chemistry”.
Keep safe,

Tammy,
Thanks for your tip. Yes, we all need to be more pro-active and take steps to ensure the health and safety of ourselves and our families.
Many of us put things out of our heads because we don’t see the danger we don’t take steps until something goes wrong. I’m guilty of this too.
