As a woman, I have come to understand that cleaners contain estrogen mimicking compounds that cause devastating hormone distributions causing all sorts of women issue symptoms. These chemicals are extremely toxic and disrupt the hormone balance of every family member. One of the best things I did as a mom was to change to a toxic free cleaner that use therapeutic grade essential oils.

THIEVESTM Antiseptic Oil Blend
Thieves was created based upon historic research about four thieves in France who protected themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary blend was tested by Weber State University and found to have a 99.96% effective rate against airborne bacteria. Essential oil blend of clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus radiata. Order code 3423, 15 ml.
Edward Close, PhD, PE, an environmental engineer, in his research shows over 50% of homes have toxic mold, producing respiratory, sinus, serious allergies and other serious ailments, sometimes resulting in death. One out of seven Americans suffer from acute fungal sinusitis. Many also suffer from asthma and other types of allergic responses due to unknown exposure to mold. Cleveland experienced 16 infant deaths recently due to mold.
In the past, bleach was used to get rid of mold. This is not a good chemical combination as reported by Dr. Close and the EPA because it causes the toxic combination of chlorine and spores to go into the air. Dr. Close was introduced to Thieves and used it in his research. It clears up mold in less than 24 hours and prevents it from coming back. He now recommends the essential oil blend Thieves Household Cleaner as the best defense for cleaning and preventing mold outbreaks. After cleaning, he suggests diffusing Thieves essential oil regularly. See articles by Dr. Close below.

Toxic Mold: Why Is It Suddenly A Problem?
By Edward Close, Ph.D., P.E.
Over the past ten or twelve years, as an environmental consultant I have seen a dramatic increase in requests from businesses and consumers to help them address property and health related issues arising from the presence of toxic mold. Is it because of hype, because of heightened awareness, or have there been significant changes that make toxic mold a bigger problem than it was in years past?
Changes in building practices, such as closed air-handling systems, flat roofs, and tighter buildings, the use of sheet rock and cellulose insulation, have all contributed to making our homes, offices, hospitals, apartment buildings and every type of structure more susceptible to toxic mold infestation than ever before. These practices have also made mold remediation more difficult. In addition, the proliferation of toxic chemicals, food additives, synthetic drugs and antibiotics have made us more vulnerable to infections and allergic reactions caused by toxic mold. And, due to advances in science and research, we have more data that link toxic mold to detrimental effects on our health. For these reasons, toxic mold is a greater problem today than ever before.
Part of the increase in requests is a direct result of increased awareness of the dangers toxic mold presents. We live in the "Age of Information." We are inundated with information of every kind from television and the internet. Unfortunately not all news is good, not all information is correct, and bad news and misinformation travel just as fast as the good. When a home is lost to toxic mold, or mold is blamed for loss of health and/or life, we are more likely to hear about it today than we were 20 years ago. And, again unfortunately, when misinformation such as telling people to use bleach is disseminated on television or the internet, it is very difficult to retract or correct it. You can't "un-ring a bell."
The misinformation circulating about toxic mold is not deliberate, for the most part. For example, professional cleaning companies offering mold remediation services commonly advise owners of mold infested buildings to "save money" by foregoing sampling and instead go straight to cleaning and removal. The truth is that this practice can actually cost you a lot more money. A few hundred dollars of proper sampling will tell you what you are dealing with and may allow you to avoid thousands of dollars in costs for removal and replacement of building materials
Practices for dealing with toxic mold, like cleaning infested areas with bleach and fogging with toxic chemicals, recommended by the EPA only a few years ago, are now known to be ineffective, or even counter-productive, and are potentially as harmful to your health as the mold itself. Even material safety data sheets (MSDS) that, by law, must be provided by chemical manufacturers can be misleading. I have seen MSDS sheets that display the words "NON-TOXIC INGREDIENTS" in bold capital letters on the first page, but when you read the fine print much further down or on the second or third sheet, it includes instructions to avoid breathing the fumes, avoid direct contact with skin or eyes, and often provides antidotes for accidental ingestion. They can do this because, under EPA rules and regulations, a product can have non-toxic ingredients and still be harmful to human health.
Contrary to popular belief, and common usage, the terms black mold and toxic mold are not synonymous. There are many species of mold that appear black to the naked eye, but not all of them are toxic, and there are many mold species that are not black that are toxic.
Why Do Essential Oils Work In Humans?
By Edward Close, PhD, PE and Jacquelyn Close, RA
As a scientist, I ask a lot of questions and have a natural curiosity about why things work the way they do. For years I have quietly read and listened to many others talk about essential oils and what these tiny miracles of God's creation do. Indeed, I and my family have experienced many benefits from their usage, however, I have never been fully satisfied with the answers or explanations about why essential oils work in the human body.
Essential oils are the life blood of the plant, but while blood is essential to human life, and I can see that essential oils serve a similar purpose in plants as blood does in the human body, we are not plants. So what is the connection? Why should oils extracted from plant material be so beneficial to human beings?
Essential oils are highly concentrated, they serve to carry vital nutrients to cells, they cleanse cells and receptor sites and oxygenate the blood. That is intriguing and I can see that due to their ability to transport oxygen into the system, essential oils may have similar effects as hyperbaric chambers in providing freely available oxygen to cells and tissue. Hyperbaric chambers are used to reduce pain and promote rapid healing of wounds and sores by increasing the oxygen available to the cells, which in turn keeps the cells alive and well. I have seen similar results when using oils on wounds our son received during a motorcycle accident. The science is not there yet, but this certainly helped me understand the potential reason for why they work for humans.
My life-long friend, Dr. David Stewart, told me that essential oils have tiny molecules that penetrate the skin and their organic chemical compositions are intriguingly complex. I understand from the chemistry that the compounds of essential oils can be utilized by humans to accomplish certain tasks, but that still did not quite satisfy my curiosity or fully answer the question:
Why do Essential Oils Work and Work So Well for Humans?
To my surprise, studying mold and mold- related illness, and understanding why oils have such a dramatic affect on mold, fungi, and bacteria has supplied the answer to this long-puzzling question. Perhaps you are not fully aware of what fungi, or molds and especially toxic molds, do to the human body.
Fungi can cause health problems to both humans and animals by several different biological mechanisms: infections, allergenic or hypersensitivity reactions, irritant reactions, toxic reactions, and in certain cases they can even cause death. In fact there were 16 infants who died in an area near Cleveland, Ohio, and the only commonality found among the cases was that all the houses where the infants had lived contained high levels of a toxic mold called Stachybotrys chartarum.
According to a 2004 University of Connecticut Health Center report, the following symptoms have been found through scientific investigation to result from exposure to mold and toxic molds: Allergies, asthma, bleeding lungs, breathing difficulties, cancer, central nervous system problems, recurring colds, chronic coughing, coughing up with blood, dandruff problems (chronic) that do not go away despite the use of anti-dandruff shampoos, death, dermatitis, skin rashes, diarrhea, eye and vision problems, fatigue (chronic, excessive, or continued), general malaise, flu symptoms (chronic), sudden hair loss, headaches, hemorrhagic pneumonitis, hives, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, irritability, itching (of the nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin or any other area), kidney failure, learning difficulties, mental dysfunction, personality changes, memory loss or memory difficulties, open sores and lacerations of the skin, peripheral nervous system effects, redness of the sclera (the white of your eyes), runny nose (rhinitis) or thick, green slime coming out of nose (from sinus cavities), seizures, sinus congestion, sinus problems, chronic sinusitis, skin redness, sleep disorders, sneezing fits, sore throat, tremors (shaking), verbal dysfunction (trouble in speaking), vertigo (feelings of dizziness, lightheadedness, faintness and unsteadiness), and vomiting.
We are surrounded by mold and fungi. They are found everywhere on planet Earth. The geologic record informs us that molds have existed perhaps a billion years longer than humans. Mold is a hardy, long-lived, secure life form that was originally thought to be a part of the plant kingdom. Then, it was discovered that fungi, or molds, are not bacteria, not viruses, not plants, and not animals. They are entirely different. In the 1960s, scientists recognized molds as their own kingdom -- the Fungi Kingdom
So, if they are everywhere, what can we do?
Horror stories of toxic mold exposure abound and yet the very things recommended to address the problems of mold are either prohibitively expensive or they are just as toxic and hazardous to human health, even potentially lethal, and often they simply do not work.
Consider this...When a living organism dies, plant or animal, mold along with numerous other micro organisms attack the body in order to break it down into various organic compounds, some of which the organisms, these scavengers, use as food. This is a natural process that continually recycles life and materials found on planet earth. The difference between fungi and the scavengers we usually think of, such as vultures, is that fungi (molds) do not care whether you are alive or dead, they are attacking you all the time. Right now, in fact. They are doing what they do best, trying to reduce you to useable food stuff!
Fungi do the same thing with plants. Plant materials are primarily cellulose -- the most delectable of foods to fungi. If plants did not have a way to ward off these fungi and also bacterial attacks, they would have become extinct ages ago. And what is it that has preserved the plants? It is the essential oils.
Essential oils were created, at least in part, to serve as or to strengthen the plant's immune system. One of an essential oil's primary responsibilities is destruction of fungi and bacteria that would otherwise destroy the plant.
The real point here is that these wondrous essential oils were designed specifically to attack, kill and destroy the organisms that damage or hinder the full expression of a joyous, healthful life and they are designed to minimize and prevent damage to higher order living organisms. That is why oils are so beneficial to humans, that is why they work so well for humans, they destroy the organisms that would do us harm and they apparently do not destroy the organisms that are there to help us.
In recent scientific investigations, I have collected scientific data on the results of using a proprietary blend of essential oils to remediate toxic mold. That data, which was collected from several sites infested with toxic molds, is now available in a DVD entitled: Toxic Mold - A Breakthrough Discovery (Just Click on ORDER DVD to get your copy). A companion book will soon be available that provides additional scientific evidence that diffusing this wonderful blend of essential oils is the best defense available today against mold and toxic molds. This special blend of oils is not harmful to humans or pets, but instead offers great support to health and wellness.
As for the health benefits, well they say the "proof is in the pudding," and in my case the pudding is my health. I will soon be 70 years old and I am healthier today than I was 10 years ago or even 20 years ago. My wife, Jacqui, and I have used these oils in our home and in our offices for about 7 years. I am happy to tell you that I have not had the flu or a debilitating cold in all that time. God is great! And so are Essential Oils. Here you can find an excellent selection of these Essential Oils.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
When I discovered mold between layers of old wallpaper, the mold removal company's quote was $2300 just for removing the wallpaper. However, after testing to be sure what type of mold we were dealing with, I was able to follow Dr. Close's mold prescription and do the work myself. All told, I saved nearly $1500! The best news, though, is that my cat's breathing problems, which had been steadily and mysteriously worsening, were almost nonexistent the week after we eliminated all the mold.

My daughter, Jessica Grady, purchased a business where we discovered mold growing in some carpeting and drywall. I suspected that this mold was causing the health problems that she was experiencing, but she was blaming her constant fatigue and congestion on the stress of the business demands and her new pregnancy. When she went on vacation for a week she felt so much better, and then as soon as she returned to her business, all of her symptoms immediately returned. This sent up the red flag to me that this mold had to be tested right away, especially due to my fears about the effects of toxic mold on her unborn baby. I got on the internet to research the solution for this potentially serious problem, but was very concerned because information I found said that toxic mold has been shown to be very difficult if not impossible to rectify. So I prayed for guidance. Then, I discovered a posting by Dr. Close and his wife on an email chat-group relating their successful experiences utilizing a safe, 100% pure, natural blend of essential oils to destroy toxic molds, including stachybotrys. I contacted them immediately and requested that Dr. Close come take samples for testing. The bad news: We not only had stachybotrys present in large amounts, but also two other strains of toxic aspergillius. We followed Dr. Close's instructions on diffusing the essential oil blend in the area and spraying a household cleaner, that contains the same blend of essential oils, directly on the mold. And we arranged for the contaminated carpeting and drywall to be professionally removed, right away, by a toxic mold remediation specialist. But, even before the contractor was able to accomplish this, in fact, within the first day of using the essential oil treatment, my daughter experienced a big improvement in her symptoms. Within a short time all of her symptoms disappeared and she was so grateful to be feeling well again. Both of us are extremely grateful that God directed us to Dr. Close for this miraculous solution.-- With Gratitude
