Potentially Harmful Ingredients in Personal Care, Cosmetic, and Household Cleaning Products - Important Introduction
www.productwarning.net
Hazardous to Your Health ...
When I first read about ingredients in most of our personal care, cosmetic, and household cleaning products that are potentially hazardous to the health of those who use them, I was skeptical but concerned that it may just be true. 
 
I first went into my bathroom and checked the ingredients on my shampoo, soap, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, and household cleaning products.  I found potentially harmful ingredients in all of my products.
 
From Skeptical to Alarmed ...
On my next visit to the store, I checked the ingredients on the most popular products, ie: shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, mouthwashes, deodorants, household cleaning products … and those same products advertised for and used for baby care.  It was true.  These ingredients were there amongst the ingredient listings.  I was no longer skeptical
… I was now ALARMED!
 
Trojan Horse Products ...
These products are called “Trojan Horse Products.”  They look good, feel good, smell good, and seem to get the results customers want … but at what price on the health of those who use  them?  Medicines list possible side effects.  These products are not required to list their side effects, short or long term.
 
Our skin is our largest organ ...
Our skin is our largest organ.  We used to think that our skin was a barrier to our environment that would protect us.  We now know that our skin is a semi-permeable membrane that allows our skin to absorb substances applied to it into our bloodstream and then accumulate into all our tissues including the cells of our most critical organs.  Skin is a carrier, not a barrier!
 
Anything Applied to Our Skin Gets Absorbed into Our Bloodstream and Tissues ...
We used to apply ointments to our skin to get smoother skin, and to relieve muscle pain. 
We now have “skin patches” that contain medicines that are absorbed from the patch into the muscles and bloodstream so they can relieve muscle pain, prevent pregnancy, relieve or prevent headaches, lower blood  pressure, provide anti-biotics, prevent heart attacks, and more.  Anything that goes on the skin gets absorbed through the skin, into the bloodstream and tissues within 30 seconds of application.
 
Your skin is also responsible for over 70% of your immunity to illness.  Damage your skin and you are also damaging your immune system!
 
Whatever You Smell is also Absorbed into Your Bloodstream and Tissues ...
We also can recognize the smells of bread baking, flowers, freshly cut grass, as well as fumes from cars, gasoline while filling your tank, and so much more.  The reason we can recognize these smells is because the fumes contain the chemical compounds of each of these items.  You breathe them in, and just like substances you apply to your skin, the chemicals in these fumes also go into your bloodstream and tissues.
 
Carcinogens, Neurotoxins, and Cellular Mutagens
Some of the long term side effects of using products with these potentially harmful ingredients are Cancer, Blindness, Kidney Damage and/or failure, Skin Irritations and Conditions, and others.  Many of these harmful ingredients I will list for you shortly are considered to be Carcinogens, Neurotoxins, and Cellular Mutagens.
 
Ingredients Suspected of Causing Cancer and Birth Defects ...
In September of 1997, the Boston Globe reported that “Senator Edward Kennedy drew attention to findings made by GAO, which identified more than 125 ingredients for cosmetics that are suspected of causing cancer, others may cause birth defects.”  In 1990, OSHA also identified 800+ commonly used chemicals found in personal care products.  Nothing has been done to resolve this serious issue.  Back in 1939, when it was believed most of these ingredients were safe, the FDA “grandfathered” in the use of these same chemicals that we now know are potentially harmful.  That means they now are free to go unregulated in our personal care products.  The FDA is concerned about what the label claims, not the ingredients.  The ingredients have been used and assumed safe for 60 years – contradicting recent research and medical findings.  The relevant laws have not been updated since 1939.
 
Traces of 53 Toxins Known to Cause Cancer in your Blood and Urine ...
In another health study by a non-profit organization, the Environmental Working Group, particpants, on average, had traces of 53 toxins in their blood and urine that are known to cause cancer.  These were average citizens ... so it is likely that you and everyone you know and love also have about the same 53 toxins, on average, in your blood and urine.
 
Other Serious Toxic Effects on Your Health ...
Allow me to tell you about what toxins can do to you from first hand experience.  I have this first hand experience at a great personal cost ... I lost approximately 90% of my kidney function in 2004.  Now, not only do I have the negative impact of toxins from personal care products to deal with, but everything I eat and drink becomes toxic to me.  
 
My body uses the nutrients it can absorb, then everything my body can't excrete via the bowels or thru urination becomes toxic to me.  I go for dialysis treatments three times a week for 4 to 5 hours each time to remove about 72% of the toxins in my body using an artificial kidney device.  Without dialysis to remove these toxins, my muscles become very sore and I become extremely tired. 
 
Even with dialysis removing 72% of the toxins in my body, I have very little energy.  When I try to exert myself for even short periods of time, I am forced to stop and lay down to get back even a little of my energy.  This lack or drain of energy is disabling and let me tell you that it really puts serious limitations on a person's lifestyle.  If I were to stop dialysis, it would take about two to four weeks for the toxins accumulating in my body to kill me. 
 
Toxins slowly drain you of your energy and hamper the absorbtion of nutrition.  They can also give you muscle aches, headaches and cause other organs to malfunction.  So when you think you're feeling the impact of getting older, much of it may just be that the effects of getting and feeling older is the impact of toxins accumulating in your body. 
 
Even when your kidneys work well, they can't remove all the various types of toxins and free radicals that have been accumulating in your body for years.  I urge you to stop putting toxins into your body and into your children by ceasing use of potentially dangerous mainstream personal care and cosmetic products.  Switch to safe products that can be found at www.ineways.com/worryfreeproducts and begin removing toxins and harmful free radicals that have embedded themselves in your body at the cellular level.  You can do this by using Green Qi, D-Toxarate, Revenol or Cascading Revenol that can be found at this same ineways health website listed above.  They can be found under the nutrition category, and detoxification sub-category of the product selections. 
 
It is my educated guess that you have lost some of your energy over the years and may not even realize how much because it happens so slowly.  Getting the toxins out of your body by using safe personal care products, detox nutrition, and rejuvenation products like Maximol will help noticeably bring much of your lost energy back to you.  Most of us know that lack of time and lack of money hinder our personal freedom and lifestyle.  I can tell you that lack of energy and lack of health can even more seriously eat away at your personal freedom and desired lifestyle.  It's worth a fortune to keep yourself healthy!   
 
How did these toxins and free radicals get there? 
Many of them have gotten into your body from using mainstream personal care and cosmetic products and many of them from the air you breath and water you drink. 
 
How do you stop these dangerous toxins from getting into your body?
Stop using mainstream personal care and cosmetic products.  Start using only safe personal care and cosmetic products.  You'll find a link to these on our Safe Alternative page.
 
What about the toxins getting into our bodies from our air, water and food?
To reduce and eliminate these toxins from your body, you need to take effective detoxification and anti-oxidant formulas.  Once your system is clogged with toxins, your body can no longer effectively absorb the nutrition you are trying to provide it.  Free-radicals also damage your cellular structure allowing the cells to mutate.  Anti-oxidant formulas need to perform two functions to be effective.  They must block new free-radicals from your body and they must sweep away the existing free-radicals that are already in your body.  You can buy the top rated detoxification and anti-oxidant formulas from Neways International.
 
Why don’t the manufacturer’s of these products change the ingredients they use? 
We can only assume that they choose to ignore the potential dangers because the chemicals they now use are very inexpensive.  The bottle often costs more than the substance within them.  Secondly, it is likely that the makers of these products have gained a certain percentage of market share and they are afraid to lose their market share if they change the ingredients.  There is a fear that the product won’t feel, smell, or get quite the same result for their loyal customers.
 
If this is true, why hasn't the media reported on this story?
The mainstream personal care anc cosmetic product manufacturers are some of the largest companies in the world.  They spend a fortune on advertising in almost every form of the media.  For a newspaper, radio or television to report on this story, they would risk that that their advertising would be pulled.  This would cost them a fortune in lost revenues.
 
Why don't medical professionals warn their patients?
Doctors are trained primarily to diagnose illness and treat illness.  Once medical professionals are out of med school, they get most of their continued medical information from medical journals (articles typically are screened and approved by the AMA), from pharmaceutical sales literature and sales reps, and from medical seminars usually sponsored by pharmaceutical companies.  Most medical research is also sponsored by medical supply manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies.  Their research dollars are given with implied instructions that they are looking only for research breakthroughs that will give them a return on their investment in the research.  That means that they want the research focused on finding new equipment that can provide better treatment or on finding new drugs that can treat illness.  There is no focus on prevention of illness that doesn't make them money.
This is also the research that gets into the mainstream medical journals, therefore, new medical knowledge given to the doctors that treat most patients becomes very limited.
 
It is Not the Job of Pharmaceutical Companies and Medical Professionals to Cure or Prevent Disease ...  Now you also have to realize that pharmaceutical companies have often been accused of hiding natural formulas that have shown to prevent, reduce, or cure dangerous diseases.  Why? ... because pharmaceutical companies are not allowed to patent natural formulas.  They have to make a synthetic version of the natural formulas that work in order to patent it and make a money on their new drug.  It can take years to find the synthetic formulas that work to treat patients.  Synthetic versions of natural formulas, however, usually have negative side-effects on your body while many natural formulas do not.  The medical associations are in a protective mode to protect the business of medicine.  They do not make money or stay in business by curing patients or by preventing disease.  Again, the medical profession's primary mission is to diagnose disease and treat disease ... not prevent or cure disease.  ... and the government does not allow natural health formulas to claim any medical benefit on its products.  Just like the media, politicians get a great deal of their financial backing from large corporations.  They typically do not want to interfere in case they risk getting their financial support pulled. 
 
So ... what can you do right now to protect yourself and your family?
The good news is that after searching on the internet, I found safe alternatives to these products which I will tell you about at the end of this website and got involved … but let me continue for now.
