Wendy Clouse | | Hi my name is Wendy Clouse...
I am new to this network and would like to know if anyone could direct me to more sites on products that are used in the home (such as chemicals).
I have just returned back to using some healthier, safer products...Melaleuca because of health problems within my immediate family. I have been reading and searching for information on a healthier lifestyle...however, it's also essential to have products that are healthier in the home to clean with.
My goal is to educate others about these products...however, I want to have professional information as well...so that I don't come across as another "fanatic". I want to be educated. My degree is in Elementary and Early Childhood Education...I would love to take this info and share it with teachers and children through writing...if that is something that is a need.
I believe that if we can do what we can through eating better...products that we use, etc...we have a better chance in leading healthier and happier lives. What are your thoughts?

Tony Isaacs | | If you do a Google search for "Toxins in the home" you will get some wonderful results - that would be a great place to start.
You have addressed a vital topic for anyone concerned about health, longevity, beating and warding off chronic illness AND childhood development.
Much of modern chronic illness can be traced to toxins and contaminants, along with improper nutrition, that result in disease being able to get by our natural line of defense, our immune system, and gain a foothold
Our immune systems were wondefully designed by nature to ward off and beat illness, but they were not designed to beat the multitude of toxins and contaminants we have introduced into the products in our homes, the food we eat, air we breath and water we drink. At the same time as we have become increasingly exposed to such toxins, our health and immune systems have been further hampered due to our soils being depleted and our crops exposed to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and we have increasingly come to rely on patently unhealthy fast foods and the foods on the grocers shelves which have had the nutition processed out and harmful additives processed in for shelf-life, taste, texture and color.
Ridding our households and our bodies of toxins and seeking better nutrition are keys to having healthy lives!
Now, in regards to childhood development - the lack of nutrition our children get and the toxins they are exposed to effect every area of their health, and the result is that lack of attention to these vital areas condemns our children to impaired physical and mental health perhaps for the rest of their lives.
Many people fail to realize that the brain is an organ just like the liver, heart, kidneys, etc. - and that it needs proper nutrition and protection from toxins to properly develop and function properly.
I, for one, think that just as it is no accident that cancer and other chronic conditions are largely modern phenomenon directly related to toxins and improper nutrition, so is the explosion of mental conditions we see diagnosed for our children which were largely unheard of in my youth: ADD, ADHD, Bi-polar, manic depressive, and on and on.
By all means, seek out the information on toxins - and nutrition too - and spread it among your peers. I applaud what you intend to do!
Live long, live healthy, live happy!

Mirdza Hayden | | It is great that you are wanting to educate yourself more on toxins in the products we use in our home. It is definitely important to use products that are toxin free. I have been reading books and articles about toxins and make it my personal goal to help find products that can help people lead healthier lives. I use the products myself, and if I like them, I recommend them to others. I have joined three companies that have products that are better for my family, namely Watkins, Melaleuca and Young Living. As I have researched the products in each of the companies, I have found that it is very imporatant to read the labels on everything. Both Watkins and Mela contain some products that are not completely toxin free. Many of their products ARE good, but not all of them are, unfortunately. That led me to keep researching and I stumbled upon Young Living. Their products are excellent and they have a pamphlet that is called "Rub-a-Dub-Dub is there cancer in your tub?", which is an excellent source of information about toxins in the products we use in our home. That would be one pamphlet I recommend you to check out. There uis also a tape called "Find Healthy Life in a world of toxins" which is by Gary Young, that you might want to check out, but then again you might find it being somewhat bias since it talks about how the Young Living products help you live healthy...
I also would recommend that you search on the internet by typing in the word toxins. I have done a lot of research that way myself. A site that you would probably like is mercola.com and also naturalcures.com. A book you might be interested in reading is called "Natural Cures they dont' want you to know about" by Kevin Trudeau. Excellent book!
That is about all the advice I have for now. I need to go make some dinner for my family. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I am here to assist you in any way to help you lead the healthiest life possible.
Live healthy!

Carl O. Helvie | | Hi Wendy:
You are right about the toxins in the environment, home and in our bodies. I have a new book that may be of interest to you since you say you want to have a healthier lifestyle. My book "Healthy Holistic Aging: A Blueprint for Success" looks at maintaing health and wellness using a 6 fold approach consisting of health (physical, mental, and spiritual) relationships, environment, and politics all of which influence our health. I am a nurse with a doctorate in Public Health and 55 years of practice and education and starting using this approach personally and with clients when I was diagnosed with lung cancer and given 6 months to live and that was 30 years ago. Using this approach I am now 75 and have no chronic illnesses and take no prescribed medications. I think that speaks well for the strategies I outline. My site is www.HealthyHolisticAging.com and the book is available there or in major book stores or on line. I also have a free monthly newsletter of updated holistic information obtained on my web site. Good luck in living a healthy lifestyle and having a long, happy, healthy life. Private Reply to Carl O.

Nita Lopez | | Hello Everyone,
I would first google Dr. Samuel Epstein. He is the chairman of the board of the Cancer Coalition. I would recommend learning the names of known toxins. May I remind you to compare and read labels. Dr. Samuel Epstein gave Neways the "Seal of Approval" from the Cancer Coalition, for having the safest products, in the world.
I always have time to talk about safe products.
