Defuse your 'toxic time-bomb' now!

The other day I saw an item where someone reasoned that a certain well known brand of petroleum jelly MUST be OK for you, because a woman they knew, who died in her 70's, had used it all her life and had 'great skin' when she shuffled off this mortal coil! Sadly, just like there will always be 'anecdotal' evidence of the old guy who died at 90 after smoking 40 Capstan full-strength cigarettes every day since he was 15 - although no-one now doubts that cigarette smoking is harmful to your health. - so it will be that many people know of folks who have used say certain products like petroleum jelly regularly throughout their lives - and seem to have been unaffected. The point that people are often overlooking is that there is overwhelming evidence that all petro-chemically derived products are toxic to humans. Such toxicity may emerge in the form of increased sensitivity, or perhaps the triggering of allergies, or maybe even the development of one or other form of cancer. In the UK (and US) currently the chances of you being affected by some form of cancer during your life-time is 1 in 3!!! Some places the statistics are even worse - in Singapore it is an incredible 1 in 2 for instance! Not a 'lottery'that anyone wants to win I would guess...but what can you do to stop yourself becoming a 'statistic' and a hostage to this 'toxic time-bomb' that is ticking inside all of us alive today (unless we've lived our lives in a hermetically sealed bubble :-D)! The worst aspect of continuing to use proven toxic materials regularly on the skin is that it may not be YOU (the user) who suffers...but your children or childrens children...or even later down the generations. Animal studies have shown that exposure to toxic substances affected offspring FIVE generations down the line. We as humans have only seen about two generations (2 x 25 = 50 years) pass since the introduction of tens of 1000's of man-made non-natural chemicals into our lives...stuff we come into contact with daily...often believing it is 'good' for us. What about your toothpaste for example...we all know about 'brushing our teeth to avoid tooth decay'...but how many people realize that there are KNOWN harmful irritants in almost all 'well known' brands of dentifrice? (Recent concerns about increasing mouth cancer statistics have to make you wonder about this relatively recent development, don't they?.) We can only guess the long term effects of this 'ticking time-bomb' of chemical burden that our bodies are having to bear...especially as most of us will be long-gone before the results really appear as mutations in our gene-pool. It is our children's, children's, children who are likely to 'pick-up-the-tab' for us having 'wonderful looking skin' until our 70's... The answer...use safe natural products that have been used for 1000's of years that we know are definitely beneficial to the skin and body. Don't be fooled by the fact that you have used something for years and aren't ill yet! Get petro-chemicals OUT of your life now...in fact get all non-natural chemicals and products out of your life if you can...it may not be yourself you are harming. If you can, find a source of genuine, certified organic and natural skin products...use these and only these, from now on...and ensure your kids (and their kids) do the same. In fact do your best to ensure that anyone you care about changes the products they use on their bodies - soaps, shampoos, body creams, face creams, hand creams, cosmetics, after shave...etc. etc. as soon as possible. It is up to each and every one of us to stop adding to the toxic overload on our own system. We are all individuals and no-one knows just what 'load' will be 'enough' to trigger a life-threatening condition. Start defusing your personal 'toxic timebomb' now. Go certified organic! If you are a parent, or ever likely to be one - it could save more than just your own life! We all have the power to reclaim and improve our health. Some of us have the responsibility to educate others - especially our children. Ignorance is no defence...and no excuse. The ODDS are that amongst a family of two parents and one child, at least one of you will suffer from cancer before you die - stop making your family enter the 'cancer lottery'.
