Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 , I have read this site in the past and this is pure unadulterated BS. This doctor has sold their MD for the almighty$$ and is not worthy of the respect that a healthcare professional should receive. Only a blind person can't see the facts behind this website and the truth. Young KY Labs Innovators of Fine Personal Care Products www.kylabs.com Re: Coconut Foam Extract???

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 , I take it that in your professional opinion you don't agree with what's being said about this foam . What jumps out at you the most that leads you to your conclusion?

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Mike, The first thing is this is set up like an infomercial and not a peer reviewed study. Infomercials are simply to sell something while a peer reviewed study is most often for the science and not the $$. It goes downhill from there in my opinion. BTW, most healthcare professionals are not selling 'chemicals' but health. Then again there was the reference to cosmetic ingredients and antifreeze. Again, this indicates a lack of facts. I can and have produced peer-reviewed facts that contradict many of her statements of doom and gloom for the ingredients used in personal care products. Several months ago someone else on the list produced a website from this same person touting another ingredient. She certainly does not hold sway with me.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 , As I read, I saw the BS too. It is a shame that we can no longer even trust our MD's. Was a time when they were very respected and a wonderful place for an honest answer. Sad that even their respect is for sale.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 >http://cleansingsolutions.com/toxic.htm Oh Yeah, this was the " toxic shampoo " article I posted a few months ago. I have to agree with kevin on the pure BS. You gotta love doctors who use technical terms such as " squish, right through the skin " . And then she's trying to sell this " all-natural " shampoo with no preservatives, but it does contain natural ingredients like Germaben Oil. Bad, Bad, article... too bad that some people will take it seriously. So, what is coconut foam extract anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Thanks , I just wanted some real ammo to help this customer make an informed decision.

Bad, Bad, article... too bad that some people will > take it seriously. The way this so-called doctor misleads people should be against the law. I assume the Germaben oil she referes to is Germaben ll which contains the following ingredients: GERMALLĀ® II (DIAZOLIDINYL UREA) 30% , METHYLPARABEN 11%, PROPYLPARABEN 3%, PROPYLENE GLYCOL 56% . It looks like all the chemicals she is bad-mouthing is in her product. Not only does this woman and people like her mislead people, but because of the lies they spread, they give legitimate business in the natural field a bad name when their lies are exposed. I believe in and have been involved in alternative therapies for a number of years. We have people in that field that are scare-mongers as well. We don't need their scare-mongering. Alternative therapies can stand on their own merrits as they have for many years. The same goes for natural or near natural cosmetics. People want natural today, we don't need to scare them into it. All of the big companies are going as natural as possible. What we do need is people who will tell the truth to their customers. People that will tell their customers that if they want a cream or lotion that they must also accept the fact that it must be preserved synthetically. I get so tired of fighting this bs all the time. Now that I have had my rant for the day and have come down from my soapbox, does anyone on this list actually know what Coconut Foam Extract is and what it does? Pat.
