Energy Efficiency Basics
Did you know, it’s cheaper to save energy than it is to make energy? If you want to offset $100 a month in utility bills, the right place to start is by looking at your current home, starting with your heating bills.
If you heat with natural gas, it’s easy to find the separate monthly item, even if it’s billed by your electric utility. It’s probably $1 per square foot annually to heat a house. That often adds up to more than $2,000 a year. Most homeowners can save 20 to 25 percent by caulking air leaks around windows, doors, foundations, and soffits. Check the attic insulation, too. It’s a wise investment to add up to 12 inches of insulation from the face of studs, (batting or blown-in cellulose.) The easiest fix of all is to renew weather-stripping around all doors and window sashes, and put insulating covers on pet doors. Spending $1,000 on insulating upgrades will cut heating costs by 50 percent and pay for itself in about one year. Heating and cooling systems can also be improved. Change your furnace air filters quarterly. Get ductwork cleaned and air leaks sealed so ducts are fully insulated. If you heat with oil, natural gas, or propane, consider installing solar air heating, modern high-efficiency oil, gas, or propane furnace or ground-source geothermal. When replacing appliances, investigate energy-efficient appliances. The typical refrigerator built in 1980 costs about $154 in electricity to run for a year at today’s average rate of 11 cents per kilowatt-hour. A modern high-efficiency refrigerator runs for about $55 a year. Most hot water heaters can be made more efficient. Fix all leaks. Turn the thermostat down to 122°F (50°C). Be sure all water lines and the tank itself, are fully insulated. Use low-flow aerators & shower heads. A new water-heating system may be cheaper still. A simple solar water-heating system can be installed, especially if you do it at the same time you replace your hot-water heater. Water heating is 30% of our energy costs. The easiest way to cut your electric bill is by replacing light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs waste about 95 percent of their energy as heat. Using LED could save $92 in the first year over incandescent bulbs. Do you leave the TV set on for hours at a time? Cable box consumes approx.310 watts. your TV or Computer uses 5 to 10 watts continuously, even when shut them off unless you unplug everything. The solution: Use a switchable power strip. Our homes have many sources of, “Vampire Power” (power being wasted without our knowledge.) A typical flat screen TV plugged in and never turned on can use as much as $100.00 per year. A large attic fan may draw 370 watts, but did you know that’s cheaper than an air conditioner, which draws about 1,900 watts per ton of cooling capacity. Not sure where to start? The best way to find cost-effective fixes, especially in an older house, is with a professional Building Performance Institute Home Energy Audit. Check with your utility provider. Ask for their free or reduced-cost home energy audit. Or, call us to find out what additional Renewable Energy Resources would enhance your home energy solutions. This could include solar panels, wind turbines, water heating, air conditioning and more. The standard price for this service is $200 to $400. This is a refundable deposit, upon completion of any project with us.

Jodi Cook ~ Doterra Oils
517-404-4442 JodiCook1993@gmail.com Since 1993, I have focused on caring for my home, gardens, family and myself naturally. This involves aspects for all sides of what mother nature offers us, from homeopathy, herbal, naturally sourced foods and essential oils. In my line up of medicinals, in front are the doTERRA essential oils. Each day I diffuse, apply and use essential oils, in my water to keep me energized, in the air for mental clarity and topically is ease any discomfort. doTERRA provides positive healthful effects with the purest oils, that are grown, harvested and processed with the highest standards. Essential oils offer a variety of benefits, and each individual experiences essential oil use in their own way. Fortunately, the diversity of essential oils makes them a helpful way to, prevent issues, maintain health, even for those who have specific health concerns. It has benefits to all with diverse health benefits, and for those who experience sensitivity from other solutions. Using essential oils for health benefits allows the user to tailor the experience to their specific wants and needs, rather than settling for a generic solution. I am excited to share our experience with doTERRA oils that can enhance your line up of living well. One of the first oils I reach for daily is Lemon essential oil. It is the most widely used and easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Re-Start each day with Lemon oil. When added to water, Lemon provides a refreshing and healthy boost throughout the day. Lemon is frequently added to food to enhance the flavor of desserts and main dishes. When diffused, Lemon is very uplifting and energizing and has been shown to help improve mood. Worried about toxins from cleaners? Lemon oil is an solution. Lemon is a powerful cleansing agent that purifies the air and surfaces, and can be used as a non-toxic cleaner throughout the home.

ASK DR. KATHY
"Dear Dr. Kathy,
I have been under a lot of stress lately, and now to top it off, I am experiencing eruptions which I have discovered to be Shingles. It is very painful and uncomfortable when even my clothing brushes against it. Can you suggest a natural solution for Shingles? I'm sure others would like to know this as well."
Dear Shingles Sufferer,
The varicella-zoster virus is the cause of both chickenpox and later in life, shingles. Once a chickenpox infection runs its course, the virus goes dormant in the body and is stored in the spinal nerves. The virus can reactivate later in life, producing the symptoms of shingles, usually occurring during a time of great stress.
Shingles presents itself different than chickenpox does. One crucial fact about shingles is that it can only develop in people who have had chickenpox earlier in their life. If a person who has never had chickenpox comes in contact with the shingles virus, they will likely develop the symptoms of chickenpox, not shingles.
Shingles begins with a slight itching, or pain caused by clothing rubbing against the erupted area. There may also be a slight seepage of a clear fluid. Within days, the pain and size of the eruption increases without any intervention. Touching it can cause it to spread to other areas. Be very careful not to touch the area around the eyes. In fact, if the area around the eyes becomes affected, contact your medical doctor immediately. Vision can be affected.
As a naturopath, when I found myself with symptoms of Shingles, I began to seek natural solutions and found that the sooner I began using 2 natural remedies, the quicker I could get rid of the Shingles symptoms, before it became worse. Sometimes within 24 hours the symptoms were subsiding, if I caught it within the first 24 hours.
One product is a homeopathic remedy, called “Shingle.” The recommended dosage is ½ dropper full, 2 x's daily, until the remedy is gone. I would also add a combination of essential oils mixed together, and dab a drop or 2 onto the erupted area on the skin. (DO NOT use essential oils around the eyes! And DO NOT store or use the essential oils near the homeopathic remedy. The essential oils can void the effectiveness of the homeopathic remedy.)
By doing these 2 things as quickly as possible, they began working fast and helped to alleviate the pain before it was able to settle in for very long. Over time, the Shingles outbreaks were shorter in duration and came further apart, until eventually, they have not come back for a few years now.
Later I learned, that if you take 2 bottles of these drops continually (about 2 months) until gone, it helps eliminate the shingles virus from your body even sooner. There is hope after all!
For more information or to order this product, contact me direct.
