Warning: Toxic chemical triclosan can turn your toothpaste into

chloroform

For years, I have warned people of the danger of personal care

products. If you look at the ingredients manufacturers put in their

products -- soaps, deodorants, toothpastes and so on -- you will be

horrified. These ingredients are highly toxic and cause cancer. They

promote leukemia, nervous system disorders and liver problems. Now,

some new information has come from Virginia Tech. Researchers that

have found that the chemical triclosan, which is found in a lot of

antimicrobial soaps and toothpaste products, can react with chlorine

in the tap water. Guess what you get? (This is the horrifying part.)

Chloroform. This is a toxic chemical that can give you cancer. In the

old movies, you might have seen someone give a person chloroform to

knock them unconscious. If you breathe enough chloroform, you will

die.

If you are brushing your teeth with toothpaste that has triclosan in

it, and you are rinsing with tap water that has chlorine in it, you

are getting a little chemical reaction right in your mouth. What a

wonderful gift from the toothpaste manufacturers. That's not to

mention that some of the toothpastes contain fluoride that isn't

really fluoride but fluorosilicic acid, which is a toxic waste

product that is molecularly similar to fluoride but has a much

different effect on the human body -- a toxic effect. When you wash

your hands with antibacterial soap that contains triclosan, you are

getting the fumes emitted from this chemical reaction.

 

 

Your home could be full of toxic chemicals

Most people's homes are toxic waste dumps. They have products that

contain triclosan, deodorants that contain aluminum (absorbed right

through your skin), shampoos that have toxic fragrance chemicals and

hair coloring products that contain cancer-causing chemicals. There

are perfumes and colognes that people just slather on like they are

taking a bath in them. Their senses get dulled, and soon they can't

even smell the stuff anymore.

People also put on clothes that have been washed in detergent loaded

with fragrance chemicals. These people run around in these clothes

and sweat, which helps the toxicity absorb into the skin and

bloodstream where it promotes cancer. There are fake air fresheners

and furniture polishes that contain toxic chemicals. These products

are all promoted as being helpful when really they are quite deadly.

Toothpaste is supposed to help you clean your teeth, but the number

one ingredient in toothpaste is calcium carbonate, which is just

ground-up seashells that actually mar the enamel on your teeth,

giving bacteria a place to hide out and replicate. Some toothpaste

also has formaldehyde in it.

 

The answer to why you are diseased is that if you are the average

American consumer, you are bathing and living in a system of toxic

chemicals that you have purchased and brought home. You use dish

detergents that contain toxic chemicals and then eat off of the

plates that were washed in them. How crazy are we in this country

that we keep on making products that kill people and putting them on

the shelves and printing little " 25 percent off " coupons?

 

You are seriously misled if you think you can just wipe out all of

the bacteria in your house with antibacterial soap. Do you think you

are going to be germ free? Have you checked your doorknobs and your

own skin? What about your toothbrush? I bet there are more colonies

of bacteria in your toothbrush than there are people in the entire

city in which you live. These antibacterial products are useless.

They have no value on the market or in your home. It is all a huge

marketing gimmick.

 

 

You need immune distress to be healthy

Do you think the microbes on your counter are giving you the flu?

That's not what is giving you the flu. You have the flu because you

poison your body with all these other toxic products, metabolic

disrupters in the food supply and poor nutrition. These poisons

create a weak body and weakened immune system, allowing opportunistic

bacteria to replicate that wouldn't stand a chance if you had a

healthy immune defense in the first place.

Even worse, the use of antimicrobial soaps promotes the spread of

superbugs around your house. If you want to be a healthy individual,

you have to have a little immune distress. If you don't, your immune

system doesn't learn how to defend itself. Your immune system makes a

pattern of every invading microbe, and it remembers that pattern

forever, so it knows how to beat that invader in the future. If you

try to maintain a sterile environment, then your immune system never

gets to learn how to do its job. You need some level of exposure to

these germs or mild infectious agents if you want to have an active

immune system.

 

Let's talk about fragrances a little more. Even guys that wouldn't

wear perfume go out and buy laundry detergent that has perfume in it.

When I go to the grocery store, I can't even go near the aisle with

all the detergents or I get a headache. I am very sensitive to this

because of my sensory acuity. I can pick up subtle sights, sounds and

smells thanks to a healthy nervous system.

 

The manufacturers of products that have triclosan in them keep saying

that it is perfectly safe and that it only affects the nervous

systems of various organisms. They also say it's safe because you

don't drink it. Sure, we aren't swallowing the stuff, but we sure are

touching it and bathing in it. Do you think the skin is impermeable?

The skin absorbs chemicals, and it can certainly absorb something

like triclosan as well. How do you think the nicotine patch works? If

nothing was absorbed through the skin, then these patches wouldn't

work.

 

 

Studies show triclosan is toxic to your health

This Virginia Tech study shows that triclosan is a real health

hazard. However, the companies using it are going to say that the

study was flawed, and the amount that is used is so minimal that it

is well within the safety levels established by the Environmental

Protection Agency.

They may claim some other silly nonsense, too, but the truth is this

ingredient has no place in or around the human body. Only fools coat

their body with products containing triclosan. Unfortunately, most

people are fooled by this chemical, and they don't understand its

real dangers. Personally, I don't need to wash my mouth out with

something that is going to create chloroform. This is basic common

sense. The fact that these products are even being allowed on the

shelves defies common sense. Where has the sanity gone in our

consumer products industry? It has been replaced by the profit

motive.

 

Triclosan is put into these products for the convenience of the

manufacturers. It will stop their product from going bad, and it

allows them to make ridiculous claims on the label. For example, a

label may say, " Proven to kill 99.99 percent of bacteria. " This sells

products, yet it isn't based on any kind of science whatsoever.

 

If you are new to all this and think everything I just said is crazy,

doesn't make any sense or is overly worrisome, then do your research.

Don't believe everything I just said -- start doing some reading on

triclosan. Start reading about aluminum in deodorants and fragrance

in shampoos and perfume, and then you will discover the truth for

yourself. You can search Google for information right now. Just

search for " triclosan " and see what you find.

 

If you do the research and are honest with what you find, you will

quickly discover that these products are a hazard to your health.

They are a threat to you and your family and should be outlawed. They

should be reformulated without cancer-causing ingredients. Of course,

that would cost Big Business a lot of money. Companies use these

ingredients because they are cheap. Where do you think the color

comes from in mouthwash? It's from an artificial color chemical. What

most manufacturers care about is moving products, and until Congress

demands they stop using harmful ingredients, they're going to keep

doing so.

 

I encourage you to find out about more about triclosan and stop using

products that contain the chemical. Shop at health food stores. Stop

giving your money to manufacturers who are poisoning and exploiting

you for profit.
