THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
the belt itself. If so, it is OK. If not, it is imported, and probably
contains asbestos. Exchange it for a USA belt (see Sources).
Hair dryers, too, may be imported and shed asbestos. It is
especially hazardous to be aiming a stream of hot asbestos right
at your face! If you can't find a safe model (see Sources), or are
unsure, don't use any. If you have cancer or are ill, no one in the
house should use an unsafe hair dryer.
Turn off radiators and electric heaters and cover them with
big plastic garbage bags, or paint them, or remove them. They
give off asbestos if their paint is old.
Your House...............................................................................
To clean the house, start with the bedroom. Remove every-
thing that has any smell to it whatever: candles, potpourri, soaps,
mending glue, cleaners, repair chemicals, felt markers, colognes,
perfumes, and especially plug-in air “fresheners”. Store them in
the garage, not the basement. Since all vapor rises, they would
come back up if you put them in a downstairs garage or
basement.
Do not sleep in a bedroom that is paneled or has wallpaper.
They give off arsenic and formaldehyde. Either remove them or
move your bed to a different room. Leave the house while this is
being done. If other rooms have paneling or wallpaper, close
their doors and spend no time in them.
Next clean the kitchen. Take all cans and bottles of chemicals
out from under the sink or in a closet. Remove them to the garage.
Keep only the borax, washing soda, white distilled vinegar and
homemade soap. Use these for all purposes. For exact amounts to
use for dishwasher, dishes, windows, dusting, see Recipes.
Remove all cans, bottles, roach and ant killer, moth balls, and
chemicals that kill insects or mice. These should not be stored
anywhere. They should be thrown out. Remember to check the
crawl space, attic and closets for hidden poisons also.
