Is Your Home a Toxic Wasteland?
How Many of you ever thought your Toothpaste was slowly poisoning you?
How many of you ever thought that you were poisoning your bady simply by bathing them or by rubbing that wonderful smelling over the counter lotion or powder on them?
The Fact is that our Over The Counter daily care items ARE slowly building up a LETHAL dose of TOXINS in our bodys! Yes, you heard me right......
Even the makeup we ladies use everyday, contain poisons that would require a HASMAT team to clean up should there have been a spill somewhere! And the FDA has allowed these manufacturing companies to put these poisons into our products even AFTER research has shown how toxic they are !
These Toxins have been proven to cause Cancer and other diseases! Research is now showing that our bodys have NO way to expell these toxins, and are therefore storing them in our FAT cells! Maybe that is the reason we all have trouble losing that last 5 lbs when we diet!
Did you know that EVERYONE has ALL The FAT CELLS they will EVER have once they reach puberty? After puberty, you DO NOT create more fat cells, the fat cells you already have just EXPAND to make more room.
Research has also show that there is a dramtic rise in Alzhiemers, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, ADHD, Childrens Cancer, Rare Cancers, Autisim and a host of other diseases! All of which have been linked to one or more of the above chemicals!
It is predicted that we will see an even more dramatic rise in the above diseases and others never heard of before in the next 10 years or less!
Even if you are NOT INGESTING these Toxins, they get into your body in other ways when you use them:
Via Skin: lotions, body washes, soaps, washing dishes
Via Lungs: cleaning products, air fresheners etc
Via Blood: toothpaste, mouthwash,
Below is a very Short list of just SOME of the toxins you can find in almost ALL of the over the counter home, personal and even HEALTH care products! Please make sure you read the labels of EVERYTHING you buy for your family!

Hi MasterTikitak
You are wrong about not enough natural stuff to replace toothpaste and deodorant that you get over the counter. I use all natural Mineral Crystal for deodorant and I buy my toothpaste from Global Sweet. Its made with Xylitol (birch not corn from china) and tastes great too!

You're right Collette. I've been a registered nurse for 30 years ....and I remember when cancer hit 1 in 13, and now it's 1 in 2. Tim and I promoted going GREEN and chemical free in our homes before GREEN was fashionable! We've been with Melaleuca for 8 years (Executive Directors now) and we're both home full time, so NOT breathing chemical cleaners that degassed in our home was even more important to us.

Collette... great information; unfortunately, not enough "natural" stuff is available to replace toothpaste and deodarant; when those have natural replacements I am on board! :)
