I have a lot of plants growing inside my house I believe they are the key to creating healthy living environments. English ivory is very good in regards to cleaning the air in your home.

This is helpful information. However, could you provide more info about the "closeness with your mum" statistics? I find it alarming that 91% of people who aren't close with their mothers had a serious illness by midlife, as my mom died during my childhood. Am I destined for a serious illness, or is there something I can do or need to understand about this?

Excellent information, and it works. I have experienced changes within myself for the better. The only part of this I can not due is have live plants in the house. My CAT loves them and she plays with them. If you know of a suggestion, please share it with me. I love plants and would love to have them, but with C.A.T. it's like a play pin for her. Thank you.
