Taos, NM (PRWEB) May 24, 2008 -- Does this sound familiar…You don't feel good and you don't know why? Maybe you have allergies or asthma. No matter what you do, you don't seem to feel any better. And why is this? It could be because your home is making you sick.

The air in the average home is four times more polluted than the air outdoors. Your homes, structures originally designed to shelter you from storms and beasts, have now become the storms and beasts. There are now toxins everywhere -- in or over every square inch of this planet: in your water, air, soil, food, clothes, furnishings, dry cleaning, personal-care products, cleaning products, and almost everything in your home. Many of these toxins have been linked to a variety of health problems, including cancer. What can you do? Simply listen to this month's Natural Health Yak podcast to find out all the answers.

Found on www.radioforyourhealth.com, this 5-part series hosted by Christine Horner, MD includes interviews with Dan Stih, author of 'Healthy Living Spaces: Top 10 Hazards Affecting Your Health'; Cindy Meehan-Patton, president and founder of Shelter Ecology which specializes in healthy-building products; Debra Lynn Dadd, author of 'Home Safe Home: Creating a Healthy Home Environment by Reducing Exposure to Toxic Household Product'; and Janice Ash, a fung shui and decluttering expert.

Starting off the series, guest Dan Stih (HealthyLivingSpaces.com) explains some of the sources of poor indoor air quality that may be making you sick and simple, cost-effective ways of getting rid of them.

Cindy Meehan-Patton, one of the pioneers of healthy green interior architectural design, shares her incredible knowledge and years of experience in a two part series.

Debra Lynn Dadd, takes us on a journey further inside our homes, focusing on products we use in our homes that may contain toxins, such as water, home and garden pesticides, cleaning products, and beauty products. She guides us to a plethora of good quality nontoxic alternatives. Her web site (DLD123.com) contains nearly 1000 links to nontoxic, natural, and earth wise products.

This month's series concludes with a focus on a slightly different type of toxin in your home -- clutter. Clutter in your home, according to Janice Ash, can affect your business, your relationships and your health. She shares how decluttering and organizing your home can profoundly change your life.

Dr. Christine Horner is a nationally known surgeon, author, and professional speaker residing in Taos, NM. She holds two board certifications: the National Board of Surgery, and the National Board of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Horner was recognized as a leader in her field shortly after starting her plastic and reconstructive surgery practice because she successfully ran a national campaign to pass laws requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Her five year crusade -- the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project or BRA Project -- led to the passage of laws in thirty-five states and a federal law. The federal bill was signed into law by President Clinton on October 21, 1998. The law was unprecedented because it was the first law Congress had ever passed requiring insurance companies to pay for a specific surgical procedure.
