Seriously f'd up...
I am reading a book by Kevin Trudeau and I will now take a portion of what I have read tonight and share it with you. I encourage you all to research what you are about to read, and research it well.
This is taken from More Natural Cures Revealed, By Kevin Trudeau, Chapter Six, pages 82-84.
"I want to talk here specifically about some of the toxins that specifically relate to cancer. In my book I mentioned that if you can't eat it you shouldn't put it on your skin. This is something that many people blow off as not that important or significant, but I want you to reevaluate this. Many of the products used in cosmetics, skin care, soaps, detergents, shampoos, etc. contain ingredients that are categorically cancer causing. here are a couple of examples. DEA, or diethanolamine. This particular ingredient has been found in over 600 home and personal care products. These products include shampoos, conditioners, bubble baths, lotions, cosmetics, soaps, laundry and dish washing detergents. It is just one of an estimated 125 ingredients used in home and personal care products that have been proven to cause cancer. Dr. Samuel Epstein, author of the Safe Shopper's Bible, and founder of the American Coalition to Prevent Cancer, is considered the world's leading authority on toxicology. He believes that DEA categorically causes cancer. Yet even though the FDA knows that this ingredient, as well as many others, leads to cancer, it remains in the products you buy. Why? Because the multinational conglomerates that own these companies want you to get cancer. They need to make their products as cheaply as possible to increase their profits and they know that if you use their products cancer rates will continue to rise and they will make billions more on all the cancer treatments that they have a monopoly on.
Consider this: propylene glycol is the main ingredient in antifreeze, yet go into your household cabinets and look at your toothpaste, underarm deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, soaps, or what have you and you will be amazed when you see propylene glycol. You will also see something called sodium lareth sulfate. propylene glycol is everywhere, yet it gives you cancer! It is a colorless, viscous liquid used in antifreeze solutions and hydraulic fluids, and as a solvent. It is not only used in brake and hydraulic fluids, paints and coatings, floor wax, pet food, tobacco products, and laundry detergents,, but also in cosmetics, toothpastes, shampoos, deodorants, lotions, and processed foods. You will even find it in baby wipes. Check the labels, you will be amazed. This is why pets are getting more cancer than ever before. Pet food companies are using it in pet food. This is why children are getting cancer at a higher rate than ever before. In addition to causing cancer, propylene glycol also causes dermatitis, kidney damage, and liver abnormalities. It can cause nausea, headaches, vomiting,depression and gastrointestinal disturbances. The other big problem with propylene glycol is that it doesn't leave your body. It stays in the tissues and continues to build up, causing more and more damage down the road. Keep in mind that there has never been any long range testing on the affects of these types of toxins used in various products. The same holds true with the toxic ingredient sodium lauryl sulfate, or SLS. This is another cancer causing agent. Go look and find it in the products in your cupboard. Not only does it cause cancer, it can change the genetic structure of cells. It induces mutations in the cells. It irritates skin cells, and impairs ability for hair to grow. It has adverse affects on the heart, liver, lungs, and brain. It affects eyes; damages the immune system; and causes inflammation of the skin. All of these problems arise simply by putting this on the skin because once you put it on the skin it gets absorbed into the body. This also is a toxic substance that does not leave the body, but continues to build up residual effects. It's in your toothpaste, your shampoo, and your soaps. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Ingredient, after ingredient, after ingredient that is commonly used in not only foods that you eat, but in the lotions, shampoos, soaps, toothpastes, deodorants, etc. categorically cause cancer and suppress your immune system, causing all types of other diseases.
One of the reasons why we are sicker today than ever before is that the use of toxic chemicals is increasing at an astounding rate. We put more poisons into our body today than ever before in history. Some researchers suggest that people today are putting ten times more toxins in their body than they were just ten years ago, and the rate continues to go up. This is why if you want to be healthy, you absolutely must understand that you are loaded with toxins, and that you must clean these toxins out. You must do a colon cleanse, a liver/gallbladder cleanse, a kidney/bladder cleanse, a Candida cleanse, a parasite cleanse, a heavy metal cleanse (dental fillings/root canals etc.) and a full body cleanse-it is imperative. I say this to you again, if you really want to be healthy, do not buy products from publicly traded companies. Do not buy brand name products. You can buy shampoos and conditioners, and soaps, toothpastes, antiperspirants, moisturizers, lotions, cosmetics, and skin care products all without the toxins. They are available. I am looking at a hand soap right now that says right on the label, "no lauryl sulfates." It is all natural and mostly organic. I am looking at a skin moisturizer made with natural oils and emollients. This product is great, it will not give you cancer, and it will not make you sick. If you want to be healthy, stop putting toxins in your body. Read the labels of the food you eat and everything you put on your skin."
about those certain products being in shampoos, lotions, deodorants etc. I actually after reading this part of the book, looked at a few of my personal items. I can say I will not be buying Axe deodorant spray or any of the Axe products again, and I checked out the lotions we had in the bathrooms. Both bottles had said ingredients in them. I am horrified. This is truly ****ed up.
anyway folks, after I sat and typed all that out, from the book itself, word for word, I just want and encourage you all to look into what you have just read, do it for your health.
By the way I would highly recommend Mr Kevin Trudeau's books, they are great.
