Nobody wants mold all over their walls. Insurance companies are paying hundreds of millions on mold related claims – it is indeed a serious issue. You may not know this but venetian plasters from Firenze Enterprises prevent against mold.
Mold can only grow in an acidic environment. All-natural lime plasters are alkaline, meaning that the Venetian plasters walls are not acidic, therefore, no mold can form on them. The primary ingredient of Firenze Enterprises Venetian Plaster is slaked lime produced from calcium carbonate that is mined and heated. Lime is alkaline in nature. In fact, if any of you grew up or are familiar with working on a farm, you know that lime is used to raise the pH of your soil if it is overly acid. Since lime is alkaline in nature, Venetian Plasters being composed essentially of lime are not only breathable, but anti-mold.
Impact of the Environment
Many health researchers claim that because of environmental issues, our bodies produced too much acid. As a result, these could be causing chronic health problems.
The following is an excerpt from the article Acidity and Alkalinity in our Diets:
Many people just don’t feel good anymore. Some find themselves being much more susceptible to colds, or to whatever “bug” is currently going around. Much more serious are the increasing cases of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. “Health” and “wellness” have become relative terms. Low-level toxicity from many sources can be very difficult to detect. The combined action of all these toxins creates a “toxic cocktail” effect which can seriously weaken the body and the mind through a process we call “fermentation” or the over-acidification of the blood and tissue as a result of the proliferation of yeast, fungus, and bacteria. Yeast and fungus are single cell life forms which inhabit the air, soil, water, and many of the foods we eat. They are more highly developed than the intermediate states of bacteria or the early stages of viruses. Over the years, they have developed into over 500,000 different species. They are opportunists and survivalists.
