An Interesting Article...

While doing research for Toxins, (because of my homebased business) I come into articles that sometimes blow my mind. This is one of them. This information is unbelievable!

This website reports results from the most comprehensive study ever conducted of multiple chemical contaminants in humans. http://www.ewg.org/reports/bodyburden/es.php In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonweal, researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in the blood and urine of nine volunteers, with a total of 167 chemicals found in the group. Like most of us, the people tested do not work with chemicals on the job and do not live near an industrial facility.Scientists refer to this contamination as a person’s body burden. Of the 167 chemicals found, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development. The dangers of exposure to these chemicals in combination has never been studied.

"Scientists have been studying pollutants in air, water and on land for decades.Now they're studying pollution in people and the findings are troubling." Share this information...Post this info...Pass this along to everyone you know. It was shocking to me.

Off to another fall festival. I think my kids love this time of year most because the festivals are EVERYWHERE!

High Levels of Arsenic Found In Lumber From Home Depot & Lowe's
Washington, DC - Nationwide sampling in 13 metropolitan areas found harmful levels of cancer-causing arsenic on the surface of "pressure-treated" wood purchased at Home Depot and Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse stores, according to a report released today.
"The Poisonwood Rivals" by Environmental Working Group (EWG) and Healthy Building Network (HBN) reports that an area of arsenic-treated wood the size of a four-year-old's hand contains an average of 120 times the amount of arsenic allowed in a 6 ounce glass of water by the U.S. EPA. The highest contamination was found in a North Carolina sample at 500 times the acceptable safety level.
Arsenic sticks to children's hands when they play on treated wood, and is absorbed through the skin and ingested when they put their hands in their mouths. Based on the average arsenic level detected in lumber from 18 Home Depot and Lowe's stores, EWG estimated that one of every 500 children who regularly play on playground equipment or decks made from pressure-treated wood can be expected to develop cancer later in life as a result of this exposure.

our favorite snacks may contain harmful chemicals - lawsuit filed

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer has filed a lawsuit to force top makers of potato chips and french fries to warn consumers about a potential cancer-causing chemical found in the popular snacks.

In a complaint filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Lockyer sought an injunction to stop restaurant chains such as McDonald's Corp. and Wendy's International Inc. from selling french fries without some form of warning.

Also named were producers of potato chips and other packaged potato products like PepsiCo's Frito-Lay Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co., makers of Pringles chips.

Welcome to my Blog....

Well, I did it. I finally figured out how to do this blogging thing. I am very happy because I think this will be a great place to share some articles, insights and tips on a subject very important to me; toxins. You know, I admit, I was pretty naiive thinking I was unaffected by them. I live on the beaches of Florida. I am in my 30's. I am happy with children, married many years... surely toxins are for people in the city, for older folks, for other folks, just not for me. Well, all that changed about 3 years ago when my "sister" only 36 years old, died from a rare form of cancer that I believe was brought by toxins. So I started researching and found that 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer before the age of 65, according to MD Anderson, and that 2/3rds of cancers are caused by toxins and are preventable.

We cried and suffered when Cynthia died. She had two daughters, and a family of friends that loved her. The pain I saw her go through, well, don't think for a minute I would do anything to turn back time.

I found many articles which I will post here about Toxins, and give you some hints on how to get rid of them. Cleansing is always good, whether your home, body, blood, colon, liver, whatever. Do it. I don't care how or what products you use (ok, I do but that is for another entry), but as long as you recognize the damage that toxins do, that is half the battle. Don't make the same mistake I did in being naiive.... toxins are everywhere and affect everyone. They are in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink.

Now while I will search for articles about toxins, I wanted to also help provide a solution too. There are many great products to detox with, but the one that I found is the best is Waiora's Natural Cellular Defense. The testimonials are outstanding, and the product works fast. It did for me. I had surgery this past summer and was having a really hard time with the drugs afterwards, the anesthesia was really hard. After one day on this product, my energy came back and it really felt like the black cloud had lifted. It is an amazing product. You can find out more at www.waiora.info .
