IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Hey everyone - its been a while since I last posted... Ive actually had nothing to report on but now I do. I hope it will help.

Self-Help - the self-help industry is huge with get rich quick schemes abounding on the net but most of them are total rubbish.

So too are the get rich gurus... full of it... promising lots and delivering zilch, nada, zip, NOTHING.

Why Are They Rubbish: Because though people can teach you principles they CANNOT pass on their passion and it is the passionate belief that makes things happen. And many programs that promise to make you rich don't... the only people that get rich, are those selling the programs to people like you and me.

How many of you have CD and DVD libraries full of hundreds and even thousands of dollars worth of stuff that you listened to... got excited about .. and then abandoned to gather dust as they also failed to produce the results you believe they promised? Yeah... me too... thats why this post.

Most of them have symbols like this..............

And lots of ticks like this
And many of them promise that they will get you lots of this----------->


Man.. there are heaps of the first out there and I got sucked into lots of them.

But having said that... there are some out there who work from a basis of integrity and excellence so lets see if I can locate a few.

cheers

ARE WE POISONING OUR CHILDREN?

I am very concerned about the number of unwell children around today. More and more of our children are falling sick with chronic illnesses every day. A big question we need to ask ourselves is... are we poisoning our children?

The hard answer is: YES, we are, even though it is not our fault. Our environments are becoming increasingly more and more toxic, building up to dangerous levels in our children.

We are seeing children with cancers, asthma, ADD, skin rashes, debilitating headaches, joint pain, nosebleeds and tiny babies with decreased cognitive abilities, autism and Asperger’s Syndrome and children with early onset puberty, leukemia, incapacitating allergies and many other chronic illnesses.

DR. PHILIP LANDRIGAN said:

"To me as a medical detective, the first clue is the increase in the incidence of childhood cancer. That signals that something is going wrong."

And we are having unprecedented numbers of children being diagnosed with all sorts of cancers.

WHY? Is there something out there which is causing it? What can I do about it? These are the sorts of question most parents are asking themselves.

The answer is: toxic chemicals in the food, water, and baby products we use everyday on our precious babies.

What are some of the chemicals of concern?

• Parabens,
• Sodium Laurel Sulphate,
• 1,4-dioxane,
• Bisphenol-A,
• Nitrosamines,
• Lead and
• formaldehyde

...to name just a few to be found in baby products. They are in the diaper wipes, the diaper cream, shampoos, baby bathtime bubbles, soap and even in the toothpaste. There is the lining of the cans of baby food and in the polycarbonate and plastic baby bottles and sippy cups. If you heat your baby's formula in the microwave, the amount of Bisphenol-A, Nitrosamines, Parabens and Lead that leeches into the formula from the plastic is very dangerous indeed.

Why do we need to be afraid of these chemicals? Research has shown many of the chemicals in common use, are linked to cancer and hormone disruption. Hormone disruptors can lead to developmental problems in our children. SLS is an irritant and together with 1,4-dioxane are linked to cancer and skin allergies and possibly to the increased rate of asthma today.

What can we do about it? Use the power of the purse... don't buy the products. There are so many eco-friendly and safe products available now that we don't need to use those products that contain toxic ingredients and keep your baby safe.

This is the first post in a series about chemicals in our environments (our homes, workplaces and vehicles). I hope you found it useful and informative.
