Aunt to sweet baby boy

There was an article in the LA Times yesterday about a family whose young daughter kept getting sick and she only started to get better when her parents began using natural cleansers. This is the part of the article that talks about her illnesses. If I am not allowed to quote the article I will remove it, I am not sure about the rules when you are quoting an article.
I was wondering if anyone on the boards has had this type of experience, when they were getting sick and then started to use natural cleansers and stopped getting sick. I have been sick for such a long time my mom showed me this article and thought it might be worth a try.
I do not need advice on natural cleaning products at this time, I just wanted to know if anyone has had a experience like this family had.
"It was the Peris' lives that changed shortly after the first birthday of daughter Kayla, who seemed to catch every bug circulating in their neighborhood. They thought she would outgrow it. Instead, her health got worse.
Over one 20-month period, she was prescribed antibiotics 18 times, caught pneumonia twice and suffered dozens of fevers running as high as 105 degrees. They went from doctor to doctor without finding any underlying reasons for the chronic illnesses.
"That's when you go to sleep crying at night, asking what is wrong with our child," Lisa said.
Finally, a pediatrician who was also an allergist and immunologist, Dr. Rita Kachru, figured out that Kayla was suffering from allergic reactions that could take as long as three or four days to surface. The doctor suggested removing all cleaners and other chemicals in the Peris' house. In less than a week, Kayla's symptoms disappeared.
"We finally got to hear her real voice," said Jeff, 39.
The elation was soon followed by another problem: What was the couple going to use for cleaning, particularly for their cars? Carwashes gave their daughter some of her worst episodes."
