Do you suffer from muscle and joint aches,  irritability, memory lapses, headaches, mood changes?  Ever thought it could be your makeup?  There couldn’t possibly be harmful ingredients in products we rub into our skin every day, could there?  You bet… in fact since the 1930′s the production of synthetic chemicals in cosmetics has been doubling every 7-8 years and only a few of them (roughly 16%) actually get tested.  There is well documented evidence that many ingredients in make-up, cosmetics and personal care products are TOXIC, causing acute toxicity, tumours, reproductive problems, changes to our DNA, damage to our cells, and not to mention skin and eye irritation.

Unfortunately even alot of mineral make-ups are not what they claim to be – beware of marketing hype !!

My choice is an entire range of beautifully crafted colour cosmetics without any toxins, dioxins, irritants, heavy metals, carcinogens, or contaminants.  Nor is there fragrance, added parabens, talc, kaolin, bentonite, mineral oil, petrolatum, or phthalates – all safety-tested and dermatologically-approved, ultra-weightless, flawless and age-camouflaging…  I love it !!  Ask me – ecohealthguru@gmail.com » Read more: What’s in Our Make-up ?

Never let a child eat toothpaste which has fluoride in it – it could be fatal, as one poor mother tragically discovered.

In 2004, the American Association of Poison Control Centers reported 24,180 incidents involving toothpaste with fluoride, 440 of which required emergency room treatment. About 22,000 of these incidents were with children under age six who ate toothpaste.

According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, children should be taught not to eat toothpaste, and an adult should supervise tooth brushing for children under the age of six. Mouthwash containing fluoride and prescription fluoride supplements should be kept out of reach of children. A child who eats fluoridated toothpaste or mouthwash should receive an immediate medical evaluation.

Check out the warning labels on your next toothpaste box.  They don’t print warning labels on the tubes for Australians – the manufacturers must think we keep the box… ha! 

And that’s just toothpaste – what about our water supply?  The fluoride that goes into our water supply is so toxic that it is considered hazardous waste by the EPA.   Claims that the fluoride in our water is natural as it is found in the Earth’s crust or water is misleading – so is arsenic, mercury and other poisons.  The chemical used to fluoridate Australians is untreated toxic waste!

Symptoms of fluoride poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, muscle spasms, irregular heart beat, coma, and death. Besides toothpaste, mouthwash & our water, fluoride is also found in pesticides, rodent poisons, and chrome polish for automobiles.

Fluoride is not what it’s cracked up to be – check it out at http://www.wholywater.com/fluoride.html and like I say – do your own research!

I love my toothpaste and mouthwash – no fluoride, no propylene glycol, no sodium laurel sulphate and no sugar (yes your toothpaste has sugar!)  -  Email me at  ecohealthguru@gmail.com for more details.

To a more informed and healthier you…
