I knew and Dr D says that our skin absorbs 60% of what is put on it.

Having a sensitive body :-) the scalp being a particular problem I find

it hard to find a suitable shampoo etc. if it doesn't contain sodium

laureth sulfate then I find that the other alternative ammonium

laureth sulphate just as bad, or the alchols in them, or the

parabens...I know easiest answer is don't wash it :-)

I am presently using a shampoo and conditioner (and soap) that is

produced by a UK company called The Green People Company and have few/if

any problems with their products. Mind you not 100% certain what the

cleaning agent is...web address is http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/

Dear ,

Using ER4Yt compatible shampoos, soaps, skin creams, etc has been really

important for me.

Skin is an organ. It absorbs things very quickly, that's why its used for

nicotine patches. Hormone replacements (progestone) when taken internally,

have to be given in 10x the strengh of what can be applied on the skin.

I used to use a " wonderful " shampoo ($22 Canadian a bottle), only problem is

that my hair was heavey and oily and using it would bloat my tummy everytime

I took a bath. Then, because of ER I got a Olive Oil based shampoo (no

avoids, $5 Canadian a bottle) and my hair stays cleans, its easy to fix and

my tummy stays where its supposed to be!!

I also used to use Aloe Vera gel for burns, irritations, etc. on my skin.

It never worked, it just sit there and mocked me. I now use (good cooking)

Olive Oil or Almond Oil, and my skin is really good. I got to thinking what

was " oil of olay " originally?? Olive oil?

I read a long time ago that many moisturizers contain things that actually

dry out your skin, so the more you use it, the more you need it.

Just my 2 cents... But I do know from much experimenting, that it makes a

big difference to get a shampoo with no wheat germ, no wheat protein, no

coconut, etc.
