This is the time of year where incidious skin damage can occur - whether bright sun or cloudy. Skin cancers are on the rise and more and more difficult to remove. In fact, they may come back time and time again. The sad thing is that the skin / cell damage begins in childhood and renders adult skin susceptable to these skin canceres. It is so important to beware of what toxic chemicals are in store brand sunscreen. We use a special sunscreen that we’ve used for 4 years and it is awesome yet does not have harmful chemicals.

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
