Humidity In The House.

We all know humidity is around us at all times. And yet, how many of us actually check our household humidity to see if we have the proper amount of it? Or how many of us actually have any idea how much is enough, and how much is too much, or not enough?

The indoor humidity should be relative to the outdoor temperatures. For instance, if the outdoor temp is below 0 degrees fahrenheit, the indoor humidity is generally good at around 30-35%. If the outdoor temp is above 32 degrees, then the humidity should be between 35-50%. Be careful though, because when you get over 50% indoor humidity, mold may become an issue. And you do not want mold in your house.

Speaking of mold, if you have a home with a basement, the moist soil underneath the concrete floor can cause the carpeting on the basement floor to become moist, which then becomes a breeding ground for mold. Mold is a hazard in the home, and it can become life endangering. In some localities, if household mold is bad enough, the home is burned to the ground, and the insurance covers it. Most of the time though, I doubt insurance will cover this.

Here are symptoms of too much, and too little, humidity in the home.

Too much
Windows may condensate
You may have allergic reactions
You may have water stains on walls and ceilings
You may have musty smells

Too little
Your skin, and lips, are likely to be dry and cracked
You may have a scratchy nose and throat
You may have breathing problems
You may find static electricity becomes a problem, especially around electronics

Many health issues are directly correlated, although not usually by the U.S. medical system, to moldy living conditions. These may include type l diabetes, asthma, allergies, headaches, sore eyes, coughing, frequent or seemingly never ending colds or flu.

Installing a hygrometer, or as many people call them, a humidity gauge or humidity sensor, into the home, can offer great benefit when working to maintain the proper moisture content. If you ever saw your parents or grandparents with a pot of water on the stove, there is a high probability that is, at least in part, why it was there.

Your Body May Be Crying For Water. But Are You Listening?

Many people think they get enough liquids in their diets by consuming small amounts of water, perhaps soft drinks, coffee, even teas. But are they? When your body requires water, it wants water. As countless research studies have shown us over the years, consuming soft drinks does nothing to satisfy your water requirements. Nor does drinking coffee. For me, drinking teas is a questionable method, though I've seen more than one study that said drinking tea did not qualify as a true water source.

The body is dehydrated usually for awhile before the thirst mechanism is realized. So by the time you get your glass of water, you are already dehydrated. Did you know....a 2% drop in your body's water supply will induce fatigue? Did you know, not enough water can help create symptoms such as migraines, dry skin, weight gain and constipation?

I invite you to read this article from Dr Mercola on the water situation that we should all be aware of.


Yeast Infections Are One Of The Most Destructive Health Issues We Can Have. Find Out Here How To Get Rid Of Yours.

Living With Disease?

While the civilized medical systems will state there is no cure for much of anything, those of us who know better first hand are here to offer help. A large number of those in the field of alternative therapy have had their own health issues to deal with, which is why so many are so passionate about the alternative field. Because the alternative field should be considered the mainstream field, and the allopathic(drug related) should be considered alternative, if at all.

You can search the internet or any bookstore, and find all sorts of books on health and healing. Many will actually guide you through how to get rid of disease in general, such as Dr Hulda Clarks book, The Cure For All Disease, and others which take you on a journey of showing you how to get rid of a particular disease, as in my book, Make Diabetes Vanish.

And while there are several methods of getting rid of most health problems, we teach what we either know best, or what we feel the public is ready for. Those two are not necessarily the same. My book incorporates both sides of that equation.
