Toxins In Your Home

Take The Toxins Out of Your Home

Toxins In Your Home

There are an extraordinary amount of toxins in your home.

Lets look under your sink:

Carpet Cleaners
extremely toxic to children. The fumes given off by carpet cleaners can cause cancer and liver damage.

Chlorine
The Chemical most frequently involved in household poisonings and a potent pollutant. May cause reproductive, endocrine and immune system disorders.

Degreasers
may contain petroleum distillates and butylcelosolve, which can damage lung tissues and dissolve fatty tissue surrounding nerve cells.

Drain Cleaners:
one of the most hazardous products in the home. Can contain lye, which is a strong caustic substance that causes severe corrosive damage to eyes, skin mouth, and stomach. Can be fatal if swallowed.

Glass Cleaners
may contain ammonia. Fumes from ammonia can irritate skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

Mold & Mildew Removers
often an acute respiratory irritant. May damage lungs, eyes and skin.

Oven Cleaners
one of the most dangerous cleaning products. Can cause severe damage to eyes, skin, mouth, throat.

Scouring Cleansers
may contain butyl cellosolve, a petroleum-based solvent that can irritate mucous membranes and cause liver and kidney damage.

Toilet Bowl Cleaners
one of the most dangerous cleaning products. Can contain chlorine and hydrochloric acid. Harmful to health simply by breathing during use.

Tub & Tile Cleaners
can contain chlorine and may contribute to the formation of organocholorines, a dangerous class of compounds that can cause reproductive, endocrine and immune system disorders.

There are good cleaning products out there that will not damage you or the environment

BASIC G – Disinfectant, No Cresol, No Phenols. Cresol is easily absorbed by the skin and the respiratory tract. It can damage the liver, Kidneys, lungs, spleen, and pancreas.

NATURE BRIGHT – All-Fabric Laundry Brightener, No Chlorine. Organic enzymes & active oxygen! Clinical observation by medical doctors has shown that varied reactions can occur from chlorine fumes. “Chlorine interacts with other chemicals and even simple organic matter such as bacteria. “These chemical reactions sometimes produce chloroform and other carcinogens.” (Joseph D. Weissman, M.D., in his book Choose to Live.) So safe, you can re-use wash and rinse water for landscaping.

BASIC D – Dishwasher concentrate, No chlorine fumes, No chemicals to cling to your dishes. Contains all-natural, biodegradable substances. Just 4 teaspoons do a load.

Many metal cleaners have oxalic acid or sulfuric acid. You will enjoy the pleasant citrus formula of At Ease.

BIODEGREAT – Prevent Expensive Plumbing Repairs! Use once a month to maintain free flowing drains and pipes. Natural enzymes work to devour organic sludge and odor in drains. Great for garbage disposals, septic tanks, Cabins, boats and Motor Homes. Biodegradable. No chemical fumes.

Outperforms three top selling toothpaste in plaque removal. Aspartame: In human test groups, symptoms included depression, headaches, tiredness, constipation, and menstrual irregularities. According to a letter from Dr. Richard J. Wurtman to the New England Journal of Medicine, NutraSweet (aspartame) can change levels of brain chemicals that alter behavior, affecting people with underlying brain disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and insomnia. Xylitol is the safe sweetener in New Concept, clinically proven most effective! Fluoride research indicates questionable affects throughout the body even though fluoride is thought to prevent cavities. Tests have proven Xylitol to be more effective at reducing cavities than fluoride.
