What if your home, the pivotal part of providing for the safety and security of your family, was making you sick? Your home is supposed to be your castle. Your place to relax, be yourself, and forget about the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Where you can concentrate on yourself and your loved ones. Are we so familiar with our homes that many of us would miss the signs that our home is contributing to our illness or loss of well being? Is your home promoting the health and wellness of you and your family? Or are there hidden problems that are contributing to illness, allergies, and a host of other health problems that are preventing you and your family from enjoying the quality of life you deserve? In this episode of the Survival Value Healthcast, Peter Klebes from Healthy Homes Alaska joins Dr. Anthony Rumsey to discuss exactly what constitutes a healthy home - along with some of the most common problems found in homes.
