Insect Bites 

June 29th, 2008

BUYER BEWARE! One is used to thinking about such a term for homes and cars but what about the insect repellants that we put on our children? The skin is our biggest organ and absorbs whatever chemicals we use! In addition, manufacturers that are not Licensed Pharmaceutical companies are not required to tell us what is in the product! Therefore, we recommend only using a product that is labeled with the above safeguards. In addition, there are MANY natural repellants such as Melaleuca Oil. Once the bite occurs application of the same Melaleuca Oil will quel the itching the the bite will recede. Get more information for us info@ToxicPreventionSpecialist.com

Denatured Alcohol 

February 24th, 2008

Alcohol that is consumable is regulated by the Bureau of Fire Arms and Tobacco. High taxes are paid on consumable alcohol. So, companies using alcohol use various toxic chemicals to be sure that DENATURED ALCOHOL is not comsumed. But because the companies aren’t mandated to tell us what they are using to denature the alcohol we are not told and the word “DENATURED” just means not for made for ingestion/consumption! Therefore BUYER BEWARE! Remember whatever is on the skin is absorbed. Whatever you smell is absorbed through the mucosal membranes!! For safe alternatives contact us at info@ToxicPreventionSpecialist.com

Clinique Toner #3 

February 24th, 2008

Read the label: Flammable until dry.
Yes, that is what it said. I put 1/2 tbst in a pyrex bowl and lit a match to it; the purple flames continued for sometime. Is this something YOU would like on your face? skin? BUYER BEWARE. The cosmetologist begged me to skin test me to determine if I needed Toner #1, #2, #3, #4. I’m glad I refused any testing! I read all the labels and did not trust any of them! Doing flammable test myself was enough! There is no need to use flammable components on your skin! Contact us for a safe alternative at info@ToxicPreventionSpecialist.com

Bleach addictions 

January 19th, 2008

This condition is far too common and little attention given to the serious effects on the user and those in the households as well. Chlorine gas is known and documented to have serious health effects. When using Chlorine it is absorbed through the skin, mucosal membranes and lungs. In fact there have been reported poisonings! One only needs to walk the cleaning isles of local stores to smell and breathe the terrible outgassing caused by this one toxic chemical alone. The government does not require manufacturers to label items for HOME USE!! BUYER BEWARE! Contact us for a list of safer alternatives. Act now for the health and well-being of you and your loved ones. info@ToxicPreventionSpecialists.com
