Clean Windows: Beneficial and Yet Risky to Your Health

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Can clean windows be harmful to our health?

Well, yes and no.

In building a website for a case study on website performance, I was reminded of a health related concern. The website was for a window cleaning company in Virginia.

Cleaning your windows can ruin an otherwise wonderful life. I know. I had to have 52 stitches and still have a scar as a reminder of the danger related to windows. Windows of the non-computer, glass kind.

My accident was from a broken window. My hand went through the window.

When it comes to doing jobs like cleaning our windows, it might be safer to take the attitude, “I don’t do windows.”

However, you need to have your windows cleaned for optimal health.

Why? The window dirt could cause depression. Yes, windows panes can be causing emotional pain.

The solution is simple. Hire it out to professionals.

The reason for hiring it out goes beyond the need for your windows to be seen clean.

Oh, I am not talking about the dirt threshold. Some husbands know to within plus or minus one sock laying around, when their wife will start to throw things. The weight and size of the things they will toss will be directly proportional to the angst the dirt causes them.

No, it has nothing to do with that kind of dirt.

Dirty windows need to be cleaned because of a potential health risk. You can read about it at a dear friend’s website.

Oh yeah, the site is StauntonWindowCleaning.com

For the post about clean windows and health, look for the picture of a cat looking out the window. There is actually science behind this.

Good health to you.

Lavender: More than a Color

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Lavender has a lot of wonderful properties beyond being a color.

In two different studies there were some interesting results.

One study, evaluating silexan, an oral lavender oil capsule compared to a benzodiazepine (lorazepam).  Over a  6 week test, the two were compared for Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

Conclusion: Silexan was as effective as lorazepam in adults with GAD. Silexan is also considered safe since there is no potential for abuse>

The above was, with of course, the exception of the color version of lavender. No sisters abusing their brothers rooms by painting them lavender were included in the study.

Other studies show similar good results.

Depression: The Cystein Option

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Two ways to fight depression.

Avoid (or try to avoid) taking in any toxins. This includes chemicals and thoughts that can feed depression.
Proactively try to detoxify our bodies, both with dietary supplements, foods, conversation and education.

There is an option to drugs brought to you right from the drug manufacturers. You see, drug manufacturers do studies to prove that their drugs work. What this means is that if the drug version works, the natural version, the one with out any side effects or reasons not to take it will work better.

In this case however, the drug version is rather safe too.

Either way, this is a wonderful option for those who are fighting depression and do not want the side effects of traditional medications for depression.
