PS..New Beginnings VS Kirkman's Epsom Salt Cream

[Guest guest]

Hi from Sue,

I had planned to order Kirkman's magnesium sulfate cream

but when I saw it had PARABENS...I was SURPRISED...as that should be avoided as a toxin.

So then I googled "paraben free" magnesium sulfate cream...and NEW Beginnings came up

with the Epsom salts Cream.... so I ordered it since it MUSCLE tested BETTER than Kirkman's brand for us.

--- But still it didn't come up squeaky clean in my muscle testing...but I ordered it anyway

since rarely does Anything muscle test 100%..non toxic.

After checking Dr. Mercola's list...BELOW.. for ingredients that are toxic and unregulated by

the industry... as of yet... I noticed that the New Beginnings brand also has PEG's in it...which is on

Mercola's list..as well as "salicylate" which is known to be problematic for many on the spectrum.

Even USP Epsom salts themselves are not free of some toxins.. in many cases..have trace metals.

---so we may ----never get them 100% toxin free ?

The good thing is New beginnings plans to work on a making theirs "Greener" but theirs

at http://www.nbnus.com brand is the Best I have found so far in a magnesium sulfate cream... I like it a lot.

(Another totally toxic free source ( per muscle testing) is Meyers sulfur ointment --

but it is VERY GRITTY..so NOT everyone would like it.. http://www.sulfurointment.com ).

I use both types.. and have also gotten rid of hyperkeratosis skin.. within 2 weeks of using it!

See below for Dr. Mercola's list of ingredients to avoid... and why.

"Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum – Petroleum products that coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatologic issues. Slows cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer. Disruptive of hormonal activity. By the way, when there’s an oil spill in the ocean, don’t they rush to clean it up – fast? Why put that stuff on your skin?

Parabens – Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system --unless they have been expensively "vacuum-stripped" as Neways' products are. Concern by world renown toxicologist, Dr. Epstein, is that most alternatives to parabens produce even more harmful carcinogenic formaldehyde releasers. That is why he recommends Neways, Inc. products because they are totally free of estrogen mimics. Plus most of their products have been reformulated without parabens, and without the nasty formaldehydes found in other so called "safe" brands!

Phenol carbolic acid– Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.

Propylene glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, and may inhibit skin cell growth or cause skin irritation.

Acrylamide– Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.

Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)– Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived”.

Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.

Dioxane– Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin.Dioxane’s carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”. Again, Neways, Inc. has been vacuum stripping ingredients for 20 years. Even "organic" ingredients can become contaminated during the harvesting, transporting, manufacturing and storing process. Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”. "

Di,New Beginnings has a pure versions that is very inexpensive and highquality.Here is the link: http://www.nbnus.net/shopexd.asp?id=148Lori KnowlesGeneral ManagerNew Beginnings Nutritionalswww.nbnus.com <http://www.nbnus.com/> Posted by: "Ladyshrink111peoplepc"<mailto:Ladyshrink111peoplepc?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Di%2Fwas%3A%20%20-%20your%20TMG%20source%20please> Ladyshrink111peoplepc<http://profiles.yahoo.com/ladyshrink222> ladyshrink222 Wed Jul 16, 2008 5:03 am (PDT) Di,We used Source Naturals, TMG, 750 mgs, is a HUGE white tablet but easilycrushable. Since TMG can make some kids hyper (this happened to us with DMGand the recommendation to give with folic acid was not an option as ourscould not take folic acid without getting very weepy) start slow and workup. Yes, why does Kirkman's put sorbitol in so many of it's products?Good luck,
