Many people, and especially women and young girls, have long been manipulated by cosmetic companies and the media into buying all sorts of chemicals and toxic products, convinced that they will make them look younger or more attractive. The message is that natural and unique beauty is inadequate, manipulating them to buy products, paint and color their face, hair, nails, the whole body, and to cover up their natural beauty with harmful and dangerous chemicals to fix the insecurities and dissatisfaction. Many women today also are manipulated into having dangerous plastic surgery for the same reasons.

Many of these products contain harmful ingredients, made up of very small molecules that may penetrate the skin, enter the blood stream, and build up in the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and tissues. The glossy and retouched images of models and actresses we are fed by the media hide the dangers of most cosmetics. Even some of the so called “natural cosmetics” may have harsh chemicals.

These are some of the ingredients that you should avoid, and refuse to buy products that contain any of them: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Cocamide DEA (Diethanolamine), Benzyl Violet, Nonyphenols, Parabens, Phthalates, EDTA, Polyethylene Glycol, Triclosan, Synthetic Dyes and Fragrances. Antibacterials, Coal Tar, 1, 4-Dioxane, Formaldehyde, Fragrance, Lead and Mercury, Nanoparticles, Petroleum Distillates, P-Phenylenediamine, Hydroquinone. These chemicals are in your bathroom cabinet, in your make-up and toiletries bag. Check out the ingredients list on your bottles and jars…

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) is one of the major ingredients in nearly every shampoo, bubble bath, liquid soap etc. Why, when it is a known skin irritant, stops hair growth, can cause cataracts in adults, damage children’s eye development and cause urinary tract infection?

Aluminium is found in most deodorants and has been linked to Alzheimer’s. If you want to stay alert, and still smell fresh and clean switch to a safer one.

Phthalates hit the headlines last year for being “gender benders”. They are a family of industrial plasticisers already banned in the EU from being used in plastic toys, but are still in hairsprays, top-selling perfumes and nail varnishes. They can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled as fumes and ingested from contaminated food or breastfeeding. Animal studies have shown they can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs and reproductive system -especially developing testes.

Parabens are listed as alkyl parahydroxy benzoates -butyll methyl/ethyl/ propyllisobutyl paraben on some toothpastes, moisturisers and deodorants. They are used as a preservative, but are oestrogen mimics. Research suggests that parabens in antiperspirant deodorants can cause breast cancer. Oestrogen-type chemicals have also been linked to testicular cancer and a reduction in sperm count.

Formaldehyde – Combined with water, this toxic gas is used as a disinfectant, fixative, germicide and preservative in deodorants, liquid soaps, nail varnish and shampoos. Also known as formalin, formal and methyl aldehyde, it is a suspected human carcinogen and has caused lung cancer in rats. It can damage DNA, irritate the eyes, upper respiratory tract and mucous membrane, and may cause asthma and headaches. It is banned in Japan and Sweden.

Toluene is a common solvent found in nail enamels, hair gels, hair spray, and perfumes. It is a neurotoxin and can damage the liver, disrupt the endocrine system and cause asthma.

Propylene Glycol is a cosmetic form of mineral oil (refined crude oil) used in industrial antifreeze. People handling it are warned by the manufacturer to avoid skin contact and wear respirators and rubber gloves etc, and yet this is a major ingredient in most moisturisers, skin creams, baby wipes and sun screens. Why? It’s cheap and gives the “glide” factor in body lotions – but is in fact robbing lower layers of skin of moisture. Lanolin and collagen also clog pores and cause skin to age faster than if nothing was used.
Talc is recognised as carcinogenic and has been linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer and general urinary tract disorders. So don’t dust it on your baby’s, or anyone else’s, bottom!

Parfum/perfume A typical cosmetic can contain up to 100 chemicals in the perfume alone! 95 per cent of these chemicals are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum -26 of which are on an EU hit list. Fragrances have been linked to allergies and breathing difficulties and they penetrate the skin.
Triclosan sometimes listed as 5-chloro-2 (2,4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol, is in deodorants, toothpastes, vaginal washes and mouthwashes. Toxic dioxins are produced during its manufacture or incineration. It is stored in breast milk and in fish, and can break down in water to create a member of the dioxin family.

Xylene is listed as xytol or dimethylbenzene on nail varnish bottles. It can damage your liver, is narcotic in high concentrations and causes skin and respiratory tract irritation.
Diethanolamine Also Tri and Mono (DEA, TEA and MEA) are absorbed through skin where they accumulate in products also containing nitrates, they react and form nitrosamines which are carcigonemic.

If you regularly use any of these products, your body may be loaded with harmful toxins and chemicals. Cleansing your body can improve your health.

The swine flu vaccines now being prepared for mass injection into infants, children, teens and adults. Many governments and health organizations around the world are waiting for the arrival of this vaccine. But you have many good reason to fear being exposed to this swine flu vaccine more than the swine flu itself.

This vaccine have never been tested and won’t be tested before the injections begin.  You are virtually guaranteed that no safety evaluations will be performed prior to the reckless unleashing of this untested vaccine. And making matters worse, your children may be the first guinea pigs in this public vaccine experiment against a previously unseen hybrid of human, bird and pig viruses. They even want to target children who have underlying health problems, the most vulnerable, which means any potential problems with this untested vaccine will have the capacity to do maximum damage.

We need to read and learn from history, In 1976, there was a similar outbreak of swine flu in Fort Dix in New Jersey that killed one US soldier. As everyone panicked in fear of a new flu pandemic, president Gerald Ford ordered mass vaccination. The threat turned out to be exaggerated and the virus never spread from Fort Dix. However, 46 million Americans were vaccinated. This was followed by a spike in reported cases of a neurological disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) which led to the death of two dozen people. It also caused irreparable damage to the nervous systems of hundreds of people, paralyzing many. Medical doctors called it Guillain-Barre syndrome, instead of called it “Toxic Vaccine Syndrome”.

Today again, people are being manipulated to take the same vaccine, without any safety testing whatsoever. According to The Daily Mail, the British Health Protection Agency sent letters to 600 neurologists on July 29th, warning them to be on the lookout for cases of Guillain- Barre Syndrome once the swine flu vaccine campaign begins. Warning that the swine flu vaccine has been linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the UK Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.

The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, was leaked to The Daily Mail, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.

The letter refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:
- More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.
- The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
- The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
- The U.S. Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.

Why the warning was not sent out to the public and to doctors who will be giving the shot?

Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown.There are a whole lot of things you’ll never be told by health authorities about the swine flu vaccine. Here, there are 10 things you should know about this vaccine that drug companies probably don’t want you to know, according to the Health Ranger:

1- The vaccine production was “rushed” and the vaccine has never been tested on humans. Do you like to play guinea pig for Big Pharma? If so, line up for your swine flu vaccine this fall…

2- Swine flu vaccines contain dangerous adjuvants that cause an inflammatory response in the body. This is why they are suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders.

3- The swine flu vaccine could actually increase your risk of death from swine flu by altering (or suppressing) your immune system response. There is zero evidence that even seasonal flu shots offer any meaningful protection for people who take the jabs. Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine.

4- Doctors still don’t know why the 1976 swine flu vaccines paralyzed so many people. And that means they really have no clue whether the upcoming vaccine might cause the same devastating side effects. (And they’re not testing it, either…)

5- Even if the swine flu vaccine kills you, the drug companies aren’t responsible. The U.S. government has granted drug companies complete immunity against vaccine product liability. Thanks to that blanket immunity, drug companies have no incentive to make safe vaccines, because they only get paid based on quantity, not safety (zero liability).

6- No swine flu vaccine works as well as vitamin D to protect you from influenza. That’s an inconvenient scientific fact that the U.S. government, the FDA and Big Pharma hope the people never realize.

7- Even if the swine flu vaccine actually works, mathematically speaking if everyone else around you gets the vaccine, you don’t need one! (Because it can’t spread through the population you hang with.) So even if you believe in the vaccine, all you need to do is encourage your friends to go get vaccinated…

8- Drug companies are making billions of dollars from the production of swine flu vaccines. That money comes out of your pocket — even if you don’t get the jab — because it’s all paid by the taxpayers.

9- When people start dying in larger numbers from the swine flu, rest assured that many of them will be the very people who got the swine flu vaccine. Doctors will explain this away with their typical Big Pharma logic: “The number saved is far greater than the number lost.” Of course, the number “saved” is entirely fictional… imaginary… and exists only in their own warped heads.

10- The swine flu vaccine centers that will crop up all over the world in the coming months aren’t completely useless: They will provide an easy way to identify large groups of really stupid people. (Too bad there isn’t some sort of blue dye that we could tag ‘em with for future reference…)

Now, Are You Willing to Let Them Experiment on YOU and Your Children?
It’s imperative that you educate yourself about vaccinations, diseases, vaccine risks, and the public health laws in your state, so you know what you’re up against. You need to find out what your rights and your options are. Call and write your state legislators. Let them know where you stand on these issues.

Also visit www.NVIC.org and learn as much as you can. Review the vast supply of information available on the site and join Barbara Loe Fisher in her urging to take action against the potential threat of mandatory swine flu vaccinations.

Says Fisher:
“As Department of Homeland Security officials are declaring that any disease outbreak is a matter of homeland security; as Department of Defense officials are defining public demonstrations as “low level terrorism; as CDC officials make plans to re-route airplanes to designated airports with quarantine centers to screen all passengers for signs of swine flu.

As fast tracked experimental pandemic flu vaccines are being created to be given to American children first, it is time for all of us – whether we are public health officials addressing what we believe is a true public health emergency or whether we are ordinary citizens simply trying to protect our health and the health of our children – to act in rational and responsible ways.”

These public scare-tactics are designed to make money, not protect your health.

Finally, Healthy people need no swine flu vaccine, nor seasonal flu shot. Swine flu is easily overcome through natural and healthy lifestyle. H1N1 is no match for a healthy, strong immune system that’s largely free from toxic chemicals and is boosted with the intake of whole foods, herbal remedies and quality nutrition.

Statistics shows that Americans drink more soda than ever before. They account for more than 25 percent of all drinks consumed in the United States. More than 15 billion gallons were sold in 2000 — about one 12-ounce can per day for every man, woman and child.

But here’s some information that may keep you away from opening the can:

1. Extra pounds

Soda is a significant contributor to obesity. Drinking a single can a day of sugary drinks translates to more than a pound of weight gain every month. And diet soda is just as likely to cause weight gain as regular, or even more — it may sound counterintuitive, but people who drink diet soft drinks actually don’t lose weight. Artificial sweeteners induce a whole set of physiologic and hormonal responses that actually make you gain weight.

2. Liver damage

Soda damages your liver. Consumption of too many soft drinks puts you under increased risk for liver cirrhosis similar to the increased risk faced by chronic alcoholics.

3. Tooth decay

Soda dissolves tooth enamel. Soft drinks are responsible for doubling or tripling the incidence of tooth decay. Soda’s acidity is even worse for teeth than the solid sugar found in candy.

4. Kidney stones and chronic kidney disease

Colas of all kinds are well known for their high phosphoric acid content, a substance that changes the urine in a way that promotes kidney stone formation. Drinking one quart (less than three 12-ounce cans) of soda per week may increase your risk of developing kidney stones by 15 percent.

5. Diabetes

Anything that promotes weight gain increases the risk of diabetes. Drinking soda also stresses your body’s ability to process sugar. Some scientists now suspect that this may explain why the number of Americans with type 2 diabetes has tripled from 6.6 million in 1980 to 20.8 million today.

6. Heartburn & acid reflux

Heavy consumption of soda is a strong predictor of heartburn. Many carbonated beverages are very acidic. They also deliver a lot of air in the form of carbon dioxide, which can cause distension of your stomach. And that distension appears to be associated with more reflux.

7. Soft drinks = Soft Bones = Osteoporosis

Soft drinks containing phosphoric acid are definitely linked to osteoporosis (a weakening of your skeletal structure) because they lead to lower calcium levels and higher phosphate levels in your blood. When phosphate levels are high and calcium levels are low, calcium is pulled out of your bones.

8. Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Experts have reasons to believe that overconsumption of soda leads to an increase in blood pressure. It doesn’t matter if the soda is regular or diet.

9. Heart disease

Heavy soda drinkers are more likely to develop risk factors for heart disease. Research shows that drinking more than one soft drink a day is associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome — a group of symptoms such as central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting blood sugar, elevated fasting triglycerides, and low levels of HDL or “good” cholesterol. Having three or more of the symptoms increases your risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

10. Impaired digestion (gastrointestinal distress)

Gastrointestinal distress includes increased stomach acid levels requiring acid inhibitors, and moderate to severe gastric inflammation with possible stomach lining erosion. Drinking sodas, especially on an empty stomach, can upset the fragile acid-alkaline balance of your stomach and other gastric lining, creating a continuous acid environment. This prolonged acid environment can lead to inflammation of your stomach and duodenal lining.

Cell phones today are so popular and convenient that almost everyone, including children, is using them. It’s estimated that more than 110 million Americans, and two billion people worldwide, use cell phones. As the number of cell phones, cell phone towers, and other wireless antennas increases rapidly everywhere.

Scientists all over the world are discovering shocking results about cell phones. Many studies are being done that expose the real dangers of frequent and long-term cell phone usage. Scientists have found the first evidence linking brain cancer with cell phone use. It was found that users who spend more than an hour a day talking on a cell phone have a higher risk of developing a rare form of brain tumor. Most frequently, the cancers were found on the side of the head that the user held the phone up to. According to a scientific review of 11 studies, using your cell phone for 10 years or longer will double your risk of getting a tumor on a nerve connecting your ear to your brain. It typically takes at least 10 to 20 years for cancers to show up, so now is the time when these risks will become apparent.

Dr. George Carlo presents the shocking facts in his book, Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age: An Insider’s Alarming Discoveries About Cancer and Genetic Damage. In the 1990’s, Dr. George Carlo was given a $28 million grant from the cell phone industry to do research and prove that cell phones are safe. Dr. Carlo, an MD and professor at George Washington Medical School with a degree in public health, took the challenge. After his research, he found that cell phones do cause damage. The cell phone industry offered him a position for $1 million a year to silence him, but he refused to be bought, and he started a nonprofit organization with a mission to inform the world of this danger.

Professor Denis Henshaw, head of the Human Radiation Effects Group at Bristol University, says: “We are steeped in denial over the safety of mobile phones and related technologies.” He points, as an example, to a recent Austrian study which found a raised risk of breast cancer near phone masts. “We have emission levels in the UK similar to those in Austria and yet there is no warning to people of possible dangers.”

A study last month reported that out of 360 men attending an infertility clinic, those who used their mobile the most had the poorest sperm quality. Last October, two Swedish professors pulled together the results of 11 studies involving people who had used mobiles for more than a decade and found they were 20 per cent more likely to develop a benign tumour in the inner ear, and 30 per cent more likely to develop a type of brain tumour known as a malignant glioma.

The German government has taken a more cautious line over wi-fi. Last September, the German environment ministry recommended that people should keep their exposure to radiation as low as possible by replacing wi-fi with a cabled connection. Three years ago, the Vienna Chamber of Doctors put up more than 21,000 posters in surgeries and other places with very specific warnings about mobile phones, such as: “Use your phone as little as possible” and “Men – never keep a phone in your trouser pockets as it can reduce fertility.”

Common health challenges that have been linked to regular exposure to radio frequency radiation include:
• Abnormal cell growth and damage to cellular DNA.
• Difficulty sleeping, depression, anxiety, and irritability.
• Childhood and adult leukemia.
• Eye cancer.
• Immune system suppression.
• Attention span deficit and memory loss.
• Infertility.

Today, the cell phone industry, just like the tobacco industry, seems determined to deny that cell phones might be dangerous; however, there are hundreds of studies from prominent scientists and universities all over the world that prove that cell phones emit dangerous radioactive waves that can damage your ear, brain, neck and body.

If you choose to use it, then please consider the following:

Protect your children: Children are at much higher risk than adults of experiencing health problems related to regular exposure to radiation; thinner and smaller skulls translate to greater absorption of the radiation.
• Never hold an infant while talking on the cell phone.
• Do not let children use cell phone.
• Don’t let children play with the cell phone.
• Keep cell phones away from children.

When you are using a cell phone:
• Limit the amount of time you spend on the phone.
• Use the speakerphone instead of putting the phone to your ear.
• Don’t use a bluetooth headset. Wireless and wired headsets still conduct radiation.
• Get air tube headsets that conduct sound but prevent radiation from traveling up the wire to your brain.
• Limit calls inside buildings.
• Use the phone in open spaces as often as possible.
• Do not talk on your cell phone and drive. Even with hands-free operation, you are at risk because your focus and concentration is on the conversation, not on the road.
• Be alert to the drivers who drive while talking on their cell phones.
• Keep the cell phone at least 6-7 inches away from your body and others while it’s on and you’re talking, text messaging and downloading.
• Keep the phone about two feet away from anybody.

When you are not using the cell phone:
• Turn the cell phone off when not in use and when you’re sleeping.
• Never keep it near your head or use it to play games, movies, etc.
• When you’re not using your phone, keep it as far away from your body as possible.
• Do not keep the phone on your belt or in your pocket, as the radiation will penetrate your body wherever the phone is attached, and it will expose the hip bones to radiation. Eighty percent of red blood cells are formed in the hip bones. Close proximity may also affect fertility.
• Turn cell phones off at night.

The best way to protect yourself is, of course, not to use a cell phone, and keep one just for emergency use. That is what I decided to do after the birth of my son, Jaden, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Besides all the health benefits, I have more freedom to talk to people and return calls when I am ready and have the time for that call, no stress. With the cell phone, you’re always accessible, and people expect you to always answer your phone regardless of the call’s importance.
