How to Take Better Care
Of You And Your Family, Now
Discover what experts are saying

Now let's talk about skin care, cosmetics, hair care and all those lotions and crèmes you have been putting on your skin for the last 10, 20, 30 years or more. Certainly these products are safe, right? Well, guess again. Once again, the evidence raises serious concerns.

"Cancer and health risks experts just concluded reviews that indicate that mainstream cosmetics and personal care products pose the highest cancer risk exposures to the general public, even higher than smoking"

After cosmetologists complained of headaches, fatigue, memory loss, loss of balance, asthma, nervous system damage and respiratory damage in a 1989 government hearing on the safety of cosmetics, a House subcommittee called for an analysis of nearly 3,000 chemicals used in cosmetics.

The results were very disturbing. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) studied 2, 983 ingredients in the products used by the hair stylists and designers in these cosmetology field and found 884 to be toxic. Of the 884 toxic ingredients, biological mutations could be caused by 314, reproductive problems by 218, acute toxicity by 778 and cancerous tumors by 146 and skin and eye irritation by 376.

You could also consider the nail technicians that are also exposed in all the chemicals. They may be inhaling harmful ingredients as well as absorbing chemicals through "touch". The skin is the largest organ and when we have products on our skin, it goes through every organ in 26 seconds.

Inside secrets that may be causing you cancer

A large portion (98%) of skin care and personal care products has a common ingredient---mineral oil. Mineral oil is toxic to the human body. Mineral oil is nonrenewable crude oil and it is the same substance that kills marine life after an oil spill in the ocean.

Mineral oil molecules are too large to penetrate the water after a spill so that's why you can see it laying on top of the water's surface, coating it and forming a barrier. It's the same with your skin. Mineral oil blocks all nutrients that might be in the product and it offers no nutritional value in return. It actually draws any nutrients the skin might have away.

No matter how high the quality of mineral oil a company claims to make, there is no such thing as good mineral oil. These oils are hydrolyzed or hydrogenated. Hydrogenation basically plasticizes the oils, making them act like plastic in and on your skin. Then the plastic coating keeps the skin from effectively eliminating toxins and regulating your temperature as it is meant to do.

Often, these derivatives of non-renewable crude oil, like mineral oil, are not found in nature, and therefore the body doesn't know what to do with them. These derivatives are not "organic" as our bodies are.

All kinds of side effects varying in degree can then be expected. The more common symptoms are fatigue, memory loss, personality changes, headaches, sleep disturbances and sexual dysfunction. Even worse, many of the same oils that cause these symptoms are also known to cause cancer.

Many lubricants, cosmetics, waxes and soaps are also made with animal renderings. When an animal dies, whether it is a cow ravaged by disease, road kill found, euthanized cats and dogs picked up from a veterinarian facility, all these are sent to a rendering plant to be disposed of.
