SEARCH FOR THE CAUSE NOT JUST THE CURE

Airwick Essentials Review

7/3/2019

PRODUCTS CLAIMING TO HAVE ESSENTIAL OILS
ARE NOT NECESSARILY WHAT YOU EXPECT.

Airwick is marketing a product called, Airwick Essentials that comes with a diffuser. The name gives the impression that the manufacturer, has created a new and improved product made of essential oils. The diffuser style adds to the belief that it is as beneficial as an essential oil that enhances the systems of the body, but is it?

The product reviewed was the Lavender and Almond Essential scent. Here is the advertising from the Airwick website:

Why Choose a Safer Toothpaste?

Homemade Toothpaste Recipe

Mix equal parts coconut oil solids with
baking soda and a drop of
a flavorful essential oil.

Your body is the machine that works 24 hours a day for you. When faced with toxicity that machine knows what to do to remove danger from the body, but that additional work takes time from its routine of endless chores, adding an unnecessary burden.

So does it makes sense to purposefully put poison in your system that will make your body work even harder? If you take the time to review the list of ingredients in your traditional toothpastes you might be surprised to find things that are making extra work for your already overworked body and you are doing it daily.

Triclosan is an antibacterial added to soaps, toothpaste, cosmetics and body washes with FDA approval. It can also be found in clothing, kitchenware, furniture and toys which are less regulated.

Here is what FDA.gov says about Triclosan:

Some short-term animal studies have shown that exposure to high doses of triclosan is associated with a decrease in the levels of some thyroid hormones. But we don’t know the significance of those findings to human health. Other studies have raised the possibility that exposure to triclosan contributes to making bacteria resistant to antibiotics. At this time, we don’t have enough information available to assess the level of risk that triclosan poses for the development of antibiotic resistance.

There are other ongoing studies that involve the safety of triclosan. One is a study investigating the potential of developing skin cancer after a long-term exposure to triclosan in animals. Another is a study on the potential breakdown of triclosan to other chemicals on human skin after exposure to triclosan to ultraviolet (UV) rays. At this time, neither study has been completed.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or SLS is a compound classified as a chemical and is responsible for almost everything you know and love that bubbles or foams, like toothpaste, soaps, body wash, shampoo and mouthwash. The problem is that it is responsible for skin irritations, disrupting hormone balance and has suspicious, but unconfirmed links to cancer, neurotoxicity and organ toxicity. According to EWG’s Skin Deep, it is a moderate treat.

The real problem is that a “moderate threat” becomes a “dangerous threat” when it is in so many commercial products that the quantities of absorption and ingestion are beyond intended regulated limits. We know that the body will store SLS because of quantities found in the brain, heart and liver.

Artificial Sweeteners, a normal additive for toothpaste, all have varying harmful effects. Only natural products like stevia or monk fruit are trustworthy options, having no links to cancer or diabetes.

Fluoride is a topic of much debate. The American Dental Association, ADA, stands behind its use (but these are the same people who bring you silver, amalgam fillings containing mercury and claim that storing that mercury in your head will not harm you).

The FDA classifies it as a drug. Even if you believe in fluoride as being helpful to teeth, you cannot believe in being drugged without your consent or knowing the proper dosage. In the case of children who ultimately swallow toothpaste and possibly combine that source with fluoridate water, this is a real problem. Meanwhile science is fighting the ADA’s claims, calling it poison. For those who believe its qualities should be left to its use as a pesticide, the thought of putting fluoride into the human mouth is without question wrong.

Propylene Glycol is a humectant in cosmetics, bringing a creamy texture to products. It is also used in industrial antifreeze and the major ingredient in brake and hydraulic fluid. Even though it is a strong skin irritant known to cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage, it is used to improve the consistency of cosmetics and some food products.

This compound causes the fatal destruction of red blood cells, yet is one of the most widely used ingredients in cosmetics. It permeates the skin better than glycerin, and causes greater sensitivity reactions. This cancer causing agent, can be found in some dog food as a preservative. With that said, it seems like an unnecessary addition to your toothpaste.

In your quest to clean at least some of the toxicity out of your life, trying healthier versions of toothpaste is an obvious choice. *In that quest, be aware that many of the popular health based companies are being bought by Corporate America. For consumers who care, that means reading and deciphering ingredients. Don’t be fooled by “natural” or the addition of an essential oil.

So in the end, if you want a simple and cheap alternative try this homemade version of toothpaste.

Coconut Oil Solids
Baking Soda
Peppermint Essential Oil

Mix equal parts of coconut oil solids with baking soda and a few drops of peppermint or another essential oil. Store in a small jar or dish that can manage any melting of the oil on a hot day. There is no need to refrigerate.

*NOTE:
Just FYI these are some of the Corporate America purchases of trusted healthy brands. It would seem unwise to buy without investigation, as these manufacturers are responsible for much of the poisoning of America and the globe today.

Annie Oakley Lost to Lead Shot

5/21/2019

PBS claims that Annie Oakley died of lead poisoning. Although it may not have been confirmed, it is very likely that the death of Annie Oakley involved lead poisoning. Her career as an excellent shot and marksman performer brought her in contact with lead almost daily.

A common form of lead poisoning is lead shot that is eaten in meals of game meat and gets caught in the intestines. The slow leaching of poison into the body causes, illness and death.

We nearly lost the condor, and do lose many scavenger animals, to lead shot. Making it your business to use non-lead shot makes a difference.

Truth About Vaccines by RFK, Jr.

5/17/2019

Before you make your vaccination decisions, listen to the reality you've never heard. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. is being silenced and ridiculed for exposing the truth. He will tell you that the US authority on health, The Institute of Medicine, which is an Independent branch of the US National Academy of Sciences, has warned that potentially 150 illnesses are being caused by vaccines. They advise proper testing of vaccines. The CDC, however, refuses to accept this authority and refuses to do the studies required to prove or disprove the validity of vaccines.

Vaccines were given free rein by law to be produced in the case of emergencies. The intent was that in the case of war or chemical attack, a vaccine could be produced without interference and lengthly trials. Instead this law became a loophole for those with greed in their souls to create great wealth. Again, we follow the money.
