Stains on Clothes

[Guest guest]

Here is A CONDENSATION OF A PUBLICATION IN NATURAL HEALTH MAGAZINE about the

products that I use...

 

Would you bring something into your home if you knew it could cause allergies,

birth defects, or even cancer? Many are doing just that. The culprits:

window cleaners, dishwashing detergents, laundry soaps, and scouring powders, to

name a few.

 

By some estimates, the average American uses 25 gallons of these products in the

home every year. That's a potentially dangerous amount when you consider that of

the tens of thousands of chemicals available for commercial use, only slightly

more than 2000 have been tested by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), a

government watchdog group. And of those that have been tested, 198 are known or

suspected carcinogens.

 

The problem is that when we're repeatedly exposed to these chemicals, they

accumulate in our bodies. An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study found

more that 400 kinds of toxic chemical residues in humans, some of which are

linked to cancer, birth defects, and nervous system damage. "

 

All-Purpose Cleaners: Many popular household cleaning solutions, like Fantastik

and Formula 409, contain a synthetic solvent and grease cutter called butyl

cellosolve. This hazardous petroleum-based chemical can irritate your skin and

eyes, and repeated exposure to it can cause permanent liver and kidney damage,

and impair the body's ability to replenish its blood supply. (Shaklee’s

cleaners are made from natural ingredients that do not harm you.)

 

Bathroom: Dow Bathroom Cleaner contains dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride,

which can burn eyes and skin. Many traditional scouring cleansers, like AJAX

powder, contain crystalline silica, an eye, skin, and lung irritant, classified

as " reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen " by the National Institute

of Environmental Health Sciences. (Shaklee’s products have the same pH as your

skin and are proven safe.)

 

Glass Cleaners: Many familiar window cleaning sprays, like Windex and Glass

Plus, contain buryl cellosolve, a neurotoxin that's easily absorbed through the

skin. (No ammonia either in Shaklee.)

 

Laundry Detergent: Many well-known laundry powders, like Tide, All, Gain, and

Dash, contain sodium silicate-a corrosive that can burn the eyes and skin.

Other chemicals often found in laundry detergent are sodium sulfate (a corrosive

that can cause severe eye, skin, and respiratory irritation), ethoxylated

alcohols (which may contain I,4-dioxane, which is " reasonably anticipated " to be

a human carcinogen). And the harshness of many soaps and detergents can cause

mild to severe irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. (Many skin

irritations cease when using Liquid L.)

 

Dishwashing Detergent: Cascade and Sun Light, two of the best-selling brands of

automatic dishwashing detergent, contain phosphates and chlorine-two extremely

toxic chemicals. Phosphates released into the environment rob lakes and ponds of

oxygen, leading to the suffocation of aquatic plants and animals. And chlorine

fumes are highly irritating to the eye, throat, and respiratory tract. Inhaling

them can cause headaches, burning eyes, and breathing difficulties. (Shaklee

products contain no phosphates or chlorines. You never have to worry about

ingesting left over chemicals off your plates or glasses with Shaklee.)
