TOXIC HOUSEHOLD ITEMS/PRODUCTS

In this thread, I’ll go over why each product is bad, natural alternatives/brands you can trust, and ways to make things at home if possible

(MEGA Thread)

 Before I begin, I just want to say that you do not need to switch every single thing overnight. Being truly healthy is about making small steps over time.

Many of these are very easy/cheap swaps and can be ordered from Amazon.
There is also no reason to stress about it. Do the best you can given the situation you are in.

Please feel free to leave brands in the comments that you trust as well. Also, I am in no way affiliated with ANY of these products listed.

Anyway, let’s begin:
We’ll start in the kitchen.

Nonstick pans get their slippery texture from PFAs and PFCs which are high toxic. When heated, multiple chemicals are released into the air and food, including PFOA which is linked to thyroid disease, cancer, and much more.
IMO, all you need is good quality stainless steel & ceramic pans.

My go to for higher heat is stainless steel. My favorite brand all-clad, which is great quality and will last forever. https://t.co/4KBFVVGYVc
For lower/medium heat, my go to ceramic pan is green life, which is great quality as well. https://t.co/tmjTXpyDHh
Plastic spatulas and other utensils should be avoided as well. For this, silicone or wood are much safer options.
Soaps/shampoos

Many common soaps and shampoos contain parabens, fragrances, phthalates as well as many other harmful ingredients. These are endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and are toxic to the environment.
My go to body wash is this brand with only a few natural ingredients https://t.co/i43P8B6dTh
To wash my face, I like to use this https://t.co/TwiCQ6754V
For shampoo, I use this https://t.co/CI3TlxppgA
@tallowqueen also makes great homemade soaps you can order here: https://t.co/iln7QKUBxj
There are TONS of clean brands out there, just make sure to buy without parabens, fragrances, phthalates, etc.

Here is a great article on making soap at home for a cheaper option https://t.co/HBPYj8kjxt
Next is deodorant.

Most deodorants contain aluminum which blocks your pores from sweating (not good). They also contain parabens & fragrance just like soap, and much more.

My favorite brand of deodorant is this. It is cheaper than most brands as well. https://t.co/H4MkhvR1LZ
You can also make your own magnesium spray which works great as deodorant.

Dissolve magneisum chloride flakes in distilled water, and you can optionally add a few drops of lavender essential oil.
Next is lotions/moisturizers.

Most lotions out there contain BHA, DMDM hydantoin, fragrance, parabens, and more. Many of these are carcinogenic as well.

The absolute BEST moisturizer out there is tallow balm by @Man_with_a_van Get it here: https://t.co/kN963Rim1O
Another great and cheaper option is unrefined shea butter.
Next we’ll move onto dental hygiene.

Many toothpastes contain fluoride, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulphate, propylene glycol and artificial sweeteners, which all can cause adverse health effects.
@Man_with_a_van is back with another great product with his miracle tooth powder: https://t.co/az2B8wiNa5
A great cheaper option that can be found on amazon is Dr Bronners organic toothpaste https://t.co/AzTU686KJ5
Floss and mouthwash contain many harmful ingredients as well.

A great brand of floss is: https://t.co/sW16wauB7g

There are many great activated charcoal flosses out there as well.
For mouthwash @Man_with_a_van makes another great one with his aloe mouth rinse. https://t.co/J4br0GttXC
Moving on to laundry detergent.

Many laundry detergents contain
SLS and SLES, phosphates, formaldehyde, chlorine and more.

Branch basics makes a great laundry kit with a fraction of the ingredients of most detergents out there https://t.co/7tidO1LP0i
For a cheaper option, you can dilute Dr Bronners castile soap https://t.co/i3IF3IICqd
Next is bathroom/kitchen cleaners. These are absolutely loaded with harmful ingredients, including phthalates, PERC, anmonia, chlorine, and much more.

Branch basics makes amazing natural cleaners https://t.co/QG7PsZOXvs
A cheaper, easy option is simply diluting white distilled vinegar with water and using that as your cleaner/disinfectant.
Moving on to sunscreen. Recently, many the most popular sunscreen brands were recalled due to the carcinogen benzene. Many still contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, and much more.

SPF also blocks the absorption of vitamin D which is very harmful!
I highly recommend not using sunscreen and just going in the shade when you’ve had enough. If that isn’t possible, look for one with the main ingredient zinc oxide, which doesn’t absorb in your skin.
The brand Coola makes a better mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and no parabens, phthalates, or fragrance.

https://t.co/VmNBNTL9MM
Next is tap/shower water.

For drinking water, ideally you’d use a reverse osmosis filter, but those can be very expensive. If nothing else just try to drink good quality spring water.
Tap water can contain fluoride, chloride and much more. Not only is it important to avoid drinking it, but bathing in it as well.

It absorbs through your skin AND you inhale it while being in a steamy shower.
This is a great product and IMO worth the investment. https://t.co/NvbzPQW1DU
Candles

Most candles are made from a petroleum waste product which creates benzene and toluene when heated, both of which are carcinogens.

Soy candles are ok, but beeswax candles are even better. My go to brand is Big Dipper Wax works https://t.co/9rb5BERlrf
Lastly, polyester clothing/bedding.

Polyester is made from petroleum, which can be very harmful. If you spend all day wearing it and all night sleeping in it, the damage can add up. Switch to organic cotton, linen and silk.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...

'Treasure Gods' - Sangha Nidhi' and 'Padma Nidhi', Tirumala, Tirupati.

------------------------------------

These are the two guards guarding the Wealth and Treasure of Lord Sri Venkateswara.

They are representatives of two treasures of Kubera, the God of Wealth.


One guard who is holding shangam (conch) on both the hands is known as Shanka Nidhi ('nidhi' means wealth).

On the other side, the guard who is holding Lotus flowers on both the hands is known as Padma nidhi.

Shangu is from the ocean which includes all types of wealth like pearls and corals.

Why shagam in his hand? Because shangam only gives the sound of 'omkaram'.

'Padmam' is the symbol of water sources in land like river, lakes, tanks etc. which is very important for all living beings.

As per the tradition, these guards are installed at the third entrance of the temple.

One enters the holy shrine after saluting the first protection threshold - Sankha Nidhi and Padma Nidhi.

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

(THREAD) The Whitaker scandal is deepening, as it becomes clear that Sessions' Russia recusal was a coordinated sham and his firing an act of obstruction—and that his replacement is a White House plant inside the Mueller probe. I hope you'll retweet and read on for more details.


1/ From 2014-17 Whitaker worked for World Patent Marketing—which during his tenure defrauded consumers out of $26 million and was successfully prosecuted by the feds. His involvement in the scam confirmed he had loose morals and that the feds would never want to employ him again.

2/ Despite the seeming impossibility of a man with Whitaker's background getting a job at Justice ever again—he'd been found to have used his former title as a US attorney to fraudulently threaten consumers with valid complaints with criminal penalties—Whitaker found an opening.

3/ Within 60 days of parachuting out of World Patent Marketing as it was being fined $26 million by the feds, Whitaker was working for CNN and telling a fellow attorney panelist that his purpose in working for CNN was to get noticed by one man—Donald Trump—and thereby get a job.

4/ Whitaker spent his time at CNN making ludicrous statements about the Mueller probe: there was no obstruction or collusion, he said; Mueller had no authority to look into any aspect of Trump's finances or to subpoena him, he said. All the while, he hoped Trump was watching him.
