Good afternoon.
We've talked for weeks about Physical Wellness from the standpoint of setting goals, weight loss, nutrition, nutritional supplements, exercise, and measuring your success.
Another key component of Physical Wellness is reducing or eliminating your exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins in everyday life. The reason for that is that if your body is spending its resources fighting off the negative effects of these chemicals and toxins it isn't working efficiently to rebuild the billions of cells normally rebuilt everyday.
What most people don't recognize is that products we routinely use in our homes, thinking they are safe because we see them on TV and in the grocery store, are actually like having a loaded gun lying around the house. It's only a matter of time before someone picks it up and pulls the trigger.
The two brochures that are pictured here contain information, that if everybody was aware of, would cause most people to be very upset at manufactures who sell these toxic products that are not just potentially hazardous, but cause thousands of deaths and illnesses every year. You might also be upset at government agencies that allow these products to be sold for home use. Here's the dirty little secret. There really is no agency that is monitoring products manufactured for home use. Yes, the government does require warning labels on certain products, but they still allow them to be sold to consumers.
Did you know that the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products (soaps, lotions, creams, cosmetics, shampoos, deodorants, toothpaste, etc.) and found that 884 were toxic. Does that upset you?
How about from the Consumer Product Safety Commission stating that "of chemicals commonly found in the home, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities." Does that upset you?
When I was growing up you never heard of ADD, ADHD, Autism, Alzheimer's disease, Fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and on and on. Well, is there any common link between these diseases and lifestyles in the past 50 years? I believe the link is the tons of chemicals and toxins that we've brought into our own homes nicely packaged as super cleaners of all descriptions, from soap to laundry products to every other type of surface cleaner. In 65% of cosmetics sold in the US and Canada you'll find formaldehyde, mercury, lead, mineral oil, and more. Does this make any sense? The skin absorbs anything it comes in contact with which is why patch technology is so prevalent. Imagine what happens when you put those directly on your skin everyday.
I'd encourage everyone to read these two brochures and get the information to make better choices about what you bring into your homes and the negative impact they can have on you, children, and other family members.
Just fill in the contact form in the upper right and I'll gladly send you both brochures.
After reading them, I think you'll agree that a change is necessary.
I've lived in a toxic free home for over 4 years now and I can tell you that I rarely get sick, have drastically reduced the headaches that used to be almost a daily occurance, sleep better, think better, and know that I'm doing what I can to protect my family.
I'll look forward to your comments, and I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Have a terrific day,
