Why do I have healthy bath products available? Many of my clients are allergic to chemicals, preservatives, etc. They are toxins in our products that we put on our largest organ of the body (skin). We absorb all these toxics and they pass throughout our bodies and posion our systems. Then we react to the posions in unhealthy manners. Ex: Inflammation, Fibromyalgia, Migranes, Cancer, etc.

Read below and you will understand more. Also, listed at the end are some toxins listed in your everyday products. (Shampoo, Make-Up, Deodrant, Cleansers, Toothpaste, etc) I encourage you to think about what you are putting on and in your bodies.

In the Journal of American Medical Association 2004;291:358. It covers what many other journals are reporting to be the roots of ALL diseases. Basically, the authors tell us that the reason why cell membranes are becoming resistant to ALL messengers of communication is because cell membranes are:

1. Inflamed

2. Oxidized

3. Toxic

4. Lacking the mitochondrial function to energize receptors to open and close

Cell membranes become more rigid and inflexible because of this, thus less reswponsive to any cell messenger. WHY is this happening? Because we are lacking antioxidants, anti-inflammatory molecules, and micronutrients to fuel the mitrochondria (energy furnaces of cells) and detoxification pathways to the liver.

It starts in the cells and then begins to affect the entire body system

Why such a lack of good micronutrients? We are not eating very good diets. The environment is so toxic that we burn more antioxidants and anti-inflammatory molecules in our constant efforts to detoxify toxins that enter our bodies on a daily basis. Stress from poor relationships also burn up these micronutrients. Soils are not as saturated with micronutrients as they used to be. So we end up with sub-optimal levels of these nutrients to build and fuel the optimal function of our cell membranes and our Psycho-Neuro-Immune-Endocrine System of cell communication.

So we end up with poor tissue function as well. The weakened cell membranes that compose practically every tissue and organ of our bodies trigger significant dystfunction in the "terrain".

Tissues like the intestines, lungs, skin, blood vessels, the brain, kidneys, etc. become leaky.

Do any of your products have these in them?

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)

These toxins are found in detergents and surfactants that pose serious health threats. Used in car washes, garage floor cleaners and engine degreaser - and in 90% of personal care products that foam. Animals exposed to SLS experience eye damage, depression, labored breathing, diarrhea, severe skin irritation, and even death. Young eyes may not develop properly if expsed to SLS because proteins are dissolved. SLS may also damage the skin's immune system by causing layers to separate and inflame. When combined with other chemicals, SLS can be transformed into nitrosamines, a potent class of carcinogens. Your body may retain the SLS for up to five days, during which time it may enter and maintain residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs and brain.

Found in: Clairol Herbal Essences Replenisher Shampoo, Jergens Body Shampoo, Mentadent, Colgate Toothpaste, Minnie Bath Bubbles

Mineral Oil

It is a pertrolem by-product that coats the skin like plastic, clogging the pores, interferes with skin's ability to eliminate toxins, promotes acne and other disorders. Slows down skin function and cell development, resulting in premature aging. Used in many products )baby oil is 100% mineral oil!)

DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (monoethanolamine) & TEA (triethanolamine)

These are hormone-disrupting chemicals that can form cancer-causeing nitrates and nitrosamines. These chemicals are already restricted in Europe due to know carcinogenic effects. In the USA however, they are still used despite the fact that Americans may be exposed to them 10-20 times per day with products such as Shampoos, shaving creams and bubble baths. Dr samuel Epstein, Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Illinois, says that repeated skin applications... of DEA-based detergents resulted in a major increase in the incidence of liver and kidney cancer. The FDA' John Bailey says thais is especially imprtant since "the risk equation changes significantly for our children"

With this all said, I don't want to be using these products on my children or myself. Why increase our risk of disease?

If you change just a few things in your life for the better, it is better than not doing anything.

I encourage you to eduacate yourself. If I can be of help, please contact me.
