Every week we see the same headlines in the newspapers "Head Lice Shampoo Cancer Scare"..."The Age of the Superbug is Here"..."Household chemicals and Pollution
Linked to Cancer"..."Acne Treatment Damages Skin Cells"...and so on.
We are now just beginning to link synthetic chemical cocktails we encounter during the course of a lifetime such as hairsprays, cosmetics, deodorants, polishes, detergents, toothpastes, perfumes, aftershaves, first aid treatments, medicines, air fresheners, etc. are systematically weakening our bodies and making us sicker. It is undeniable that our health is beginning to suffer. Where will it all end?

Asthma Relief - 8 Quick & Easy Steps
Although Asthma is associated with airborne allergies and occasional food sensitivities, great improvement can occur by following a few simple suggestions. There is substantial evidence that environmental exposures, including viruses and allergens, play a major role in triggering asthma symptoms. Indoor airborne allergens include those from house - cleaning products, personal care products, dust mites, cockroaches, mold and animal dander.
1. Remove all asthma causing allergens or irritants
(tobacco smoke, pet dander, dust mites, pollen, perfumes, cleaning products, mold & mildew)
- The quality of air you breathe in your home may be robbing you of good health. Modern energy- efficient homes, by virtue of their airtight design, often trap chemical vapors from furniture, carpets, and building adhesives. Condensation from air ducts, houseplant soil, and sink areas can produce harmful mold, fungus, yeast and bacteria.
2. Rid your home of all toxic personal care and home care products.
- The EPA warns the nation's worst pollution is inside our homes. A number of homes tested have toxic chemical levels 70 times higher inside the home than outside.
- Since 1980, asthma has increased by 600%. The Canadian Lung Association and the Asthma Society of Canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers.
- The outgassing of toxic vapors from both personal care and home hygiene products significantly increases air quality challenges.

How Common Household Chemicals May Gradually Be Making You & Your Family Sick
It’s alarming but true – scientists and doctors have discovered that there is a connection between our health and the use of common everyday household chemicals.
If yours is the typical home, you probably use dozens of cleaning and personal care products, purchased at the local grocery store, which contain chemical ingredients that could be harmful to your health and the health of your loved ones.
Since World War II, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of man-made chemicals we use in our homes. The typical home now contains over sixty-three hazardous products that together contain hundreds of different chemicals. 1 At the same time there has been an equally dramatic rise in the incidence of certain chronic health problems.
Research indicates that it is more than coincidence that the dramatic rise in these various diseases has coincided with the increased use of hazardous, man-made chemicals in the home.
