Cancer From Chemicals? 3 Household Products That Are Known Carcinogens

Recently, I read an article I saw posted in news on the internet that said:

"It’s very well known that certain lifestyle behaviors like smoking, excessive alcohol use, and tanning bed exposure can cause cancer or put you at higher risk for developing cancer. However, you would hardly think that some of the products that you use everyday or that are lying around your house could place you at the same risk, but some happen to contain well known or unnoticeable ingredients that are in fact human carcinogens." (See the entire article at this link:  CANCER AND CHEMICALS )

So, what are the 3 Household Products to which this article was referring?

1.  Air Freshners

2. Cleaning Products

3. Dryer Sheets

Are you still using those chemical laden items? Are they still under your kitchen sink and in your laundry room?

What the article failed to mention was personal care items, which are laden with synthetic chemicals. What we put on our skin, on our hair, on our face, and in our mouths is of far more concern because these chemicals are immediately taken into our blood stream and they now have proof that newborn babies are carrying a heavy load toxins carried to them through the placenta because of the exposure of the mother.

Now I know that many, many people are beginning to understand that this is not a good choice. Unfortunately, they are still being mislead into purchasing items that contain many toxic synthetic chemicals.

It is startling to know that we think we are doing good for ourselves and our families when we choose certain "Green" brands at commercial big box stores - in the hopes and belief that we are not only saving money but are protecting our families at the same time.  However, numerous studies have shown this logic fails in light of the facts.

Recently, I checked the website for Seventh Generation and found that the list of chemicals contained in their products is long, and includes Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, among many others. This is a known toxin (See the Complete List on Seventh Generation's website:  SEVENTH GENERATION). I have so many friends and even family who have told me they are very careful not to purchase products that contain harmful chemicals, but when I go into their homes, this is one of the main products I find there.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is called SLS for short and is listed by the EWG.org cosmetics database as a "moderate hazard." What does that mean?

According to the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Reviews,⁶ research studies on SLS have shown links to:
 

·        Irritation of the skin and eyes

·        Organ toxicity

·        Developmental/reproductive toxicity

·        Neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, ecotoxicology, and biochemical or cellular changes

·        Possible mutations and cancer

Does that sound moderate to you? 

Can 16,000 Studies About SLS Be Wrong?

If you visit the SLS page on the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) website,⁶ you will see a very long list of health concerns and associated research studies. In fact, you will also see their mention of nearly 16,000 studies in the PubMed science library (as well as their link to that list) about the toxicity of this chemical. There are clearly grounds for concern about using products containing this agent. (Excerpted from article on Mercola.com available at this link: SLS EXPOSED ).

You can find many of the studies cited by doing a Google search for "PubMed." Lots of great information available there too.

 

And if you look at the cost of the group of products people generally choose for cleaning and compare that cost to the cost of the recommended EOB2 Cleaner, you will see that you pay far less per ounce and get a toxin free cleaning option when you choose the EOB2 Household Cleaner recommended by Dr. Ed Close. 

You have a choice where you spend your dollars and what products and companies you reward. 

So, how will you spend your hard-earned money?

Will you choose to reward those companies who are creating more synthetic chemicals every day that add to the burden we and our environment must bare?

Or - Will you instead choose to save money, reduce your chemical exposure, protect your home and your family, and give the EOB2 Household Cleaner a try, just to see how it works for you?

May You Always Enjoy Vibrant Health!

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF MOLD EXPOSURE

SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH MOLD EXPOSURE

By Jacquelyn A Close

© Copyright November 2, 2013

 

When mold species, such as Stachybotrys chartarum or Aspergillus/Penicillium, invade your body they are just trying to do what they were created to do and that is break down organic material so it can be recycled. But when mold invades our human bodies, it wreaks havoc and creates misery. So what symptoms are associated with mold exposure?  And how do you protect yourself?

The most common symptoms of mold exposure include:

Headaches                               Allergies

Breathing Difficulties             Coughing

Colds                                       Flu-Like Symptoms
Aching Muscles                      Sore Throat

Nausea                                    Vomiting

Diarrhea                                  Constipation

Fever                                       Sinus Congestion

Runny Nose

What do those symptoms sound like to you? Some type of virus or bacterial infection maybe?

That is usually what a doctor thinks when someone comes to him with these symptoms. We know, because we have heard people tell us this story over and over and over again for years now.

Here are some other fairly common symptoms of mold exposure.

General Fatigue, Malaise           Nosebleeds

Eye and Vision Problems          Earaches

Dandruff                                      Hair Loss

Fatigue                                        Hearing Loss

Irritability                                    Memory Loss

Learning Difficulties                  Memory Problems

Difficulty Speaking                    Seizures
Skin Sores                                  Rashes

Sleep disorders                          Sneezing

Lightheadedness                       Vertigo

Dizziness                                    Weight Gain

Anger                                          Rage

Anxiety                                       Drug abuse

Diseases Scientifically Linked to Mold:

Asthma                                  Allergies

Bleeding Lungs                    Dermatitis

Weight Gain                          Anger, Rage

Anxiety                                  Bi-Polar

Drug Abuse                           Addiction

Chronic Fatigue                    Fibromyalgia

Depression                            Alzheimer’s

Multiple Sclerosis                 Insomnia

Neuropathy                           OCD

Panic Disorder                      Paranoia

Schizoid Syndrome              Hives

Kidney Failure                      Infections

Death                              And the list goes on.

How can mold do or cause all of these different things?

Because mold infests, colonizes, and destroys our bodies, including our brains. It uses our skin and every opening into the body to attack us. And when mold finds a foothold in the body, it starts reproducing itself and using our bodies, our tissues, organs, our blood and even our brains for food. When mold is reproducing right inside our bodies that creates irritation, which leads to inflammation. And if we cannot stop that process and eliminate the mold, then we end up with a systemic inflammatory condition. That spirals into the inflammatory cascade that, even a little research shows contributes to and may even be the primary cause for pretty much every immune disorder and immune system disease known to man.

IMMUNE DISORDERS AND DISEASES CAUSED BY INFLAMMATORY CASCADE

Cancer                                                Diabetes        

Rheumatoid Arthritis                      Heart Disease

Bursitis                                              Laryngitis

Gingivitis                                           Tendonitis

Gastritis                                             Celiac Disease

Diverticulitis                                     Sepsis

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

And here’s the gospel truth, most doctors don’t even know, believe or understand that mold is or even could be the source of these problems. They don’t test for mold in your blood or urine, even though those tests are available. Blood serum testing is extremely expensive, however, the urine testing is much less costly. But most doctors don’t even know to do those tests. We have had numerous people tell us that they asked their doctor to test them for mold and they were told:  “There is no medical diagnosis for mold or mold exposure.”

Typically, doctors prescribe a round of antibiotics to treat the identified symptoms. Usually that approach has some effect, but then after a short while the person gets sick again. They go back to their doctor.

The problem is this:  Mold is a living organism that adapts to antibiotics.

So, when the patient’s symptoms return, the doctor prescribes another round of antibiotics that is stronger, and recommends that the person stay on them longer. Why? Because that’s what the medical profession is taught to do. They know the previous antibiotics were not totally effective, and they know those same antibiotics have less chance of being effective a second time. More and more rounds of different antibiotics are prescribed. And what happens?

The antibiotics depress the immune system, making it more and more difficult for your body to fight off this mold invader, and over time the problem gets worse and worse, adversely affecting more and more of the body. And the stronger the antibiotics, and the longer you have to be on them, the worse the side effects. Antibiotics make the problems associated with mold exposure worse, not better. Unfortunately, it isn’t always apparent to the people involved until their body has been so depleted that they think they will never be well again.

Don’t let this scare you, because we have a SECRET weapon. We have essential oils. Plants had to create something to protect themselves against mold because these two (plants and mold) appear in the geologic record at roughly the same time. And mold’s favorite food is cellulose from plants. If plants hadn’t had these built-in defense mechanisms, they would not have survived the onslaught of mold. So don’t be scared. Just learn how to protect yourself.
