Lead-safety Message: Sound Healing draws from the rich traditions of many cultures. There are some Native American tribes which consider the effects of an action as far ahead as seven generations, and this is part of their decision-making process. If modern cultures thought beyond the immediate benefits of their actions, then the widespread use of lead likely would never have occurred. Whilst past decisions have been made with pragmatism, let’s start thinking ahead, projecting the possible consequences of the options, and make the best choices for our planet.

Lead-safety Message: With the great inspiration gleaned from DIY television shows, many people unwittingly expose themselves to hazards such as lead, mould, asbestos and more. It’s important to remember that not all hazards are visible or obvious, and thus care should be taken. As well, proper processes need to be deployed to prevent these hazards remaining a problem. Ensure that all paint chips are collected onto drop sheets, removed from the site and safely disposed of – don’t leave them lying around where they can affect the health of our children, pets and wildlife.

Lead-safety Message: According to research, sequestered lead in bones can be mobilised and result in markedly higher lead concentrations when compared to tap water (Monro, Leon & Puri, 2012). Given the ever-increasing use of bone broth for a variety of health conditions, great caution needs to be taken when considering bone broth diets. Reference: Monro JA, Leon R, Puri BK.
