If you can't pronounce it, your body can't digest it or use it! Solvents accumulate in the brain, some in the eyes, some in the liver, some in the thymus. These include: hexane, pentane, xylene, toluene, wood alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, propyl alcohol, benzene.
The same goes for skin care products. The skin is your largest organ, weighing in at around six pounds. Do you want to continually assault it with mineral oils and petroleum with such a large molecular structure that suffocates the skin so it can't breath? Sodium Lauryl sulfate (SLS or SLES) reacts with other ingredients causing potential carcinogenous compounds to form. Look at your toothpaste and your shampoo. Glycerin dehydrates the body from the inside out and gives the false feel of a moist skin.
"It's only a little bit," you say. Well great, just how many 'little bits' can your immune system handle before it starts to break down? Why wait until you have symptoms and problems before you do anything. Are you aware that many cancers have been incubating in you for 10 years before they become detectable by conventional medical technology?
There are:
- 3,000 chemicals added to our foods
- 700 have been found in our drinking water
- 400 have been identified in human tissue
- Over 500 can be found under your kitchen sink or in the laundry rooms

Here are the warning labels required by the U S Government EPA; Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances:

Look at these statistics...
When combined together chemicals are even more dangerous. Deadly toxic fumes result from mixing ammonia with bleach!

Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home.
-- Toronto Indoor Air Conference 1990
Effects from toxic chemicals include shrinkage of male reproductive organs and infertility!
-- L A Times, 12/9/94
Learning disabilities and hyperactivity in children, asthma, allergies, skin disorders have all been linked to toxic chemicals found in our homes.
-- Debra Lynn Dadd
Cancer rates have continued to increase every year since 1970! Brain cancer in children is up 40% in 20 years. Toxic chemicals are largely to blame!

FOREIGN SUBSTANCES IN OUR BODY BREAK DOWN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND LOWER THE BODY'S FREQUENCY.
Sluggish breathing, junk food, poor quality vitamins and minerals, synthetic drugs, and dehydration pull the electrical frequency of the body to substandard levels. When this happens your body resonates with whatever toxins or disease is in your environment or for which you have a genetic disposition.
Let us not become so lulled into sense of complacency that we ignore the facts. Become educated.
