Your Choices Increase as You Learn More (Links to Learn)

Be sure the products you are using are free of the potentially cancer causing and toxic ingredients.


You know, on this planet we have no choice but to 
  • breathe the air
  • eat the food
  • drink the water
But we DO have a choice about what we put on our skin and what products we have in our homes. There ARE products out there that do not contain dangerous chemicals. And, they work superbly, smell wonderful and are quite affordable.


Now you are probably asking yourself, "What are some cancer causing and toxic ingredients?"

A good place to start learning is with the following list. And, you can request detailed information at my business website.
An *asterisk indicates a chemical common in household items:

*Triclosan and Triclocarban (Antibacterials)  are often listed among the ingredients of personal-care products. (Good news) Melaleuca has fabulous products with NO harsh chemicals!
*Phthalates cosmetic and personal-care products (including fragrances and nail polish) and much more. (Good news) Melaleuca has fabulous products with NO harsh chemicals!
          *Lindane   is used in prescription shampoos and topical treatments for head lice & scabies. (Good news) Melaleuca has a great solution for lice with NO harsh chemicals!
Atrazine    most commonly detected pesticide in U.S. waters
Bisphenol A (BPA)  one reason why you should try to buy organic fruits and veggies!
Carbaryl   another reason why you should try to buy organic fruits and veggies! 
Chlorpyrifos   another reason why you should try to buy organic fruits and veggies! 
Endosulfan  ditto above
Lead test your water, be careful when buying toys, costume jewelry . . . follow link for more info
Mercury too much to summarize (follow the link) some fish, vaccines, certain types of  dental fillings, button batteries
Propoxur (Flea and Tick Pesticide) used in pet flea and tick collars. Flea and tick collars can leave a high level of pesticide residue on a pet’s fur, posing a health risk to adults and children who play with the pet.
