OUTGASSING
WOW! Happy New Year! Tonight we want to talk about the terrible dangers accociated with traditional grocery store/supermarket shopping!! Particularly, we note the terrible OUTGASSING associated when walking down the isles of cleaning and laundry products! One might have mistakedly thought this was from fragrance but truly it is the gaseous forms of CHLORINE, BLEACH, AMONIA, PHENOLS, DIOXIN, etc that escape around the tops of the products!! This is a very dangerous isle for anyone with asthma, heart disease, allergies and even ezcema. Furthermore, these gases are absorbed through the mucousal linings of the eyes, nose, and mouth. Sometimes, even the skin can absorb these unwanted chemicals. One needs to be very careful of babies as their bodies are so small compared to the exposed surface areas. For more information you can contact us directly at info@ToxicPreventionSpecialist.com

No Household Chemicals
Today we had a fun time in a local chain store - considered to be a "health food store." A father had his 3yr old boy walking beside the cart and 8month old daughter riding in the front of the cart. I commented on how lucky the children were to be growing up on Trader Joe's foods and "I bet you don't have any toxic household chemicals either." To my dismay the father said he still had a few! I could not believe my ears! Perhaps it is because the information in not as available as all of the commercials on tv and internet.
One has only to hold some of the powder detergents to feel the lye burn your skin. In addition, just read the back of some of the famous baby brands and see the ingredient Quanternium-15 which is a formaldehyde releaser! I never knew a baby that did not swallow some bath water! Furthermore, the baby skin surface area is great ratio to the body and the skin absorbs all of the formaldehyde in store shelf brands of baby products!
So for today, take care to read all ingredients. Quanternium-15 tells you there are one or more of the 30-40 trade names for formaldehyde in the product which is why the Quanternium-15 is in the product. This is a good start. There are SO many items with Quanternium-15, not just baby products!
Let us know what you find! In addition, we can always help you find an alternative for the formaldehyde-laced product!

HealthAtHome
We find it important to share what we've learned over the last 5 years. Yes, it is "buyer beware" but there is so much more than that! We converted our home 5 years ago to what many would call "green" yet we made health changes in our home and in turn were automatically green. In addition, we told others about what we did and our successes and actually earned income from this!! We will share our nuggets everyday! We look forward to your feedback as well.
LOOKING AHEAD.
