Goals.

I propose a one year detox process to phase out processed foods (with the exception of the odd restraunt meal with my family) and non-essential chemical products in our home. I have recently been diagnosed with Hashitoxicosis, a Thyroid disease, and my reasearch for natural wellness has led me to the goal of only eating foods in thier natural states as found in nature and no refined foods. I will cook foods, and still eat sweet things but will bake whatever I want to have as a treat and use honey for sweetner and whole grain flour.
I already use many natural cleaners in my home, but since reading that certain chemicals can aggravate or even promote a Thyroid disease, I am opting to phase out all non-essential chemicals. I aim to only continue using a particular toilet cleaner that is the only prouduct I have found to get rid of the hard water deposits (that reoccur every week!).
I grow a small vegetable garden and do so organically, and my friend and I have canning days and can our produce or when we can buy bulk organic produce at a good price. I breastfeed my 4.5month old son.so eliminating as many farming based chemicals from my diet is important as they can accumulate in breast milk.
We have two sons, 4.5 months and 21month, I aim to try to by green and BPA free toys whenever possible.
