FW: Good article onTriclosan and other Toxins in the Home

[Guest guest]

Often we focus so much on mold we tend to overlook some other toxins in our

homes that can have a negative effect on our health. I found this article

factual and very informative.

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

<http://www.webseed.com/tap_water.html> water. Guess what you get? (This is

the horrifying part.) Chloroform. This is a toxic chemical that can give you

cancer <http://www.webseed.com/cancer.html> . 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

<http://www.webseed.com/toothpaste.html> that has triclosan in it, and you

are rinsing with tap water that has chlorine

<http://www.webseed.com/chlorine.html> 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 <http://www.webseed.com/fluoride.html> that isn't really

fluoride but fluorosilicic acid, which is a toxic waste

<http://www.webseed.com/toxic_waste.html> product that is molecularly

similar to fluoride but has a much different effect on the human body

<http://www.webseed.com/human_body.html> -- a toxic effect. When you wash

your hands with antibacterial <http://www.webseed.com/antibacterial.html>

soap that contains triclosan, you are getting the fumes emitted from this

chemical reaction.

Your home could be full of toxic

<http://www.webseed.com/toxic_chemicals.html> chemicals

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

triclosan, deodorants <http://www.webseed.com/deodorants.html> that contain

aluminum (absorbed right through your skin), shampoos that have toxic

fragrance <http://www.webseed.com/fragrance.html> 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 <http://www.webseed.com/bacteria.html> 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

<http://www.webseed.com/detergents.html> 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 <http://www.webseed.com/immune_system.html> , 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 <http://www.webseed.com/perfume.html> 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

<http://www.webseed.com/nervous_system.html> .

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

<http://www.webseed.com/reading.html> on triclosan. Start reading about

aluminum <http://www.webseed.com/aluminum.html> in deodorants and fragrance

in shampoos <http://www.webseed.com/shampoos.html> 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.

I have never found an aluminum free deodorant that will work for me.

I tried Kiss my face(think that was it) and s(it gave me a funky

smell when I sweat) they all leave my armpit wet and sticky. Is

there one that actually works and isn't wet feeling? I bet most the

stuff I use is toxic from lotions to makeup. I do not get why they

use poison in the products they make. Makes no sense. Guess I need

to make a trip to a health store. I ditched triclosan years ago.

Are Bath and Body Works products really safe to use like they say?

I even noticed when I got the faucet water purifiers they say still

lets flouride thru the filter. I have a whole house NSA water

purifier that uses carbon but it doesn't block out all the nasties

either. Think mostly chlorine. I don't get how the faucet filters

block out some things but lets flouride come thru.
