			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you enjoy eating <em>good</em> and <em>healthy</em>?</p>
<p>Then you&#8217;ll want to <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;"><a href="http://www.nuval.com"><span style="color: #008000;">check out </span></a></span></strong><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;"><a href="http://www.nuval.com"><span style="color: #008000;">NuVal</span></a></span></strong>.</p>
<p><img class="  alignright" title="NuVal Score" src="http://roseyrebecca.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/img_3023.jpg" alt="" width="311" height="233" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">What is NuVal?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #00ff00;"> </span>It stands for &#8220;Nutritional Value&#8221;   It has been developed by Dr. David Katz, of Yale University Prevention Research Center.  The NuVal system is a new way to quickly  find the nutritional value of the food you are purchasing.  The Nutritional Scoring System is from 1 to  100.  The higher the NuVal Score the higher the nutritional value.  For example, blackberries have a NuVal of 91.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">How the Scoring Works</span></strong></p>
<p>NuVal Scores summarize comprehensive nutritional information in one simple number between 1 and 100.  Each NuVal Score takes into account more than just the nutrition fact panel.  It considers 30-plus nutrients and nutrition factors – the good (protein, calcium, vitamins) and the not-so-good (sugar, sodium, cholesterol).  And then it boils it down into a simple, easy-to-use number; a number you can trust to make better decisions about nutrition in just a few seconds.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">7 Tips for Eating Healthy the NuVal Way</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">1.  Read labels  &#8211; the NuVal  label.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">2. Look at this website:   <a href="http://www.NuVal.com">http://www.NuVal.com</a> and teach your children about healthy eating.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">3. Prepare your meal plans and grocery list with NuVal     (nutritional value).  Have the children look at the labels with  you at the grocery store and help decide which brand to choose.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">4.  Introduce new fruits, vegetables and new recipes with more nutritional value.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">5.  Go for a walk &#8211; around the neighborhood, at a local park or ride bikes (with helmets, of course) , swimming, play croquet, badminton, volleyball whatever is a great family activity.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">6.  Drink plenty of water and help each other to stay healthy and make wise choices.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">7.  Count your blessings for finding a healthier lifestyle to pass on to your children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>There’s a lot more to the science behind the NuVal System than what we’ve explained here.  To learn more about it – and the independent panel of nutrition and medical experts who developed it – visit <a href="http://www.nuval.com/science">The Science Behind NuVal</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I&#8217;d like to introduce you to information about toxins and carcinogens in our everyday usage and how they destroy overall environmental quality.  Unfortunately, the FDA does not look out for us when it comes to personal care and household cleaning products &#8211; we&#8217;re on our own! The best defense is to choose products from a company which doesn&#8217;t pollute.</p>
<p>My family has chosen to to use a company that doesn&#8217;t pollute the environment (or us) with their products.  Our choice is Neways International. They have been given the Seal of Safety from the Cancer Prevention Coalition which found all of its products to be free of toxins and carcinogens. &#8230;one of the many reasons why I chose to affiliate with Neways.</p>
<p>Check out the article excerpt and see my action steps to protect yourself and your family.</p>
<p>- Peggy</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Pollution in People</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">By: Shelley Page and Susan Allan, <em>Ottawa Citizen</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">November 13, 2005</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">During the past 50 years, breast cancer incidence has climbed 90 per cent.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Lung cancer rates have jumped more than 600 per cent.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer tied to a weakened immune system, has increased 250 per cent.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Asthma affects more kids than ever before.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Biomonitoring tests reveal toxic chemicals are in all of us, on that everyone seems to agree.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">So what does it mean to human health? Scientists are only beginning to explore the links.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8212;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Infants start life polluted with PCBs, pesticides and 200 industrial chemicals. Rocket fuel laces their mother&#8217;s breast milk. Carcinogens, hormone disruptors and the chemicals used to make GOR-TEX and Teflon infuse everyone&#8217;s blood.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">New technology is making it possible to find ever smaller concentrations of chemicals in people&#8217;s blood.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Last year, the Environmental Working Group in Washington, D.C., released <em>Body Burden: The Pollution in People</em>, a study that examined the levels of 210 chemicals in nine people. In April, the World Wildlife Federation tested 39 members of the European Parliament for 101 compounds.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Until recently, Canadians stayed out of the bloodletting. Then last week the Toronto-based group Environmental Defence announced it had tested 11 Canadians for 88 chemicals believed to be either carcinogenic or to disrupt reproduction, hormonal function and/or interfere with fetal development. The study found, on average, participants had 44 chemicals in their bodies.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Renowned artist and environmentalist Robert Bateman was one of the test subjects. Despite eating organic food, using environmentally friendly cleaners and living on an idyllic West Coast island, his body was revealed to be a repository for 48 toxins: heavy metals; PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls used in electrical transformers and now banned); PBDEs (polybrominate d diphenyl ethers used as fire retardants); PFOs (perfluorinated chemicals used in stain repellents, non-stick cookware and food packaging), pesticides and insecticides.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;I had no idea when they were taking those samples out of my arm that there was a possibility that all those chemicals could be in there,&#8221; a bewildered Bateman told a journalist.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Canadian report raised more questions than it answered.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Does the fact our bodies are laden with chemicals mean anything? Are the increasing number of cancers, fertility problems, auto-immune diseases, autism and other horrors related to these chemicals in our bodies? Can we trace learning difficulties, mental illness and brain fog to the chemicals our bodies absorbed as far back as the womb? Were the harsh pollutants found in Mr. Bateman and others in concentrations considered dangerous? If the majority of the studies&#8217; participants were healthy, at it appears, does this mean the toxic findings are meaningless?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">For half a century, advancing societies have pumped the global environment full of synthetic chemicals, while realizing previously unimagined benefits.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">But during these five decades, our bodies, particularly our fat cells, have become storage tanks for the byproducts of vastly improved lifestyles.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Environmental activists call this &#8220;chemical body burden&#8221; &#8212; the price of technological advance.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">As early as this Thursday, the European Union is expected to vote on legislation that would overhaul chemical regulations in the EU and force businesses to prove their products are safe. The Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) legislation would phase out chemicals found to be carcinogenic.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Last Tuesday in Brussels, a group representing two million physicians urged members of the European Parliament to pass the legislation.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;We are in a serious situation,&#8221; Dr. Dominique Belpomme told the legislators. &#8220;Some 75 per cent of cancers are due to mutations induced by environmental factors, mainly chemicals.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">You can read the full article <a href="http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/story.html?id=f6d6ae57-eab4-433c-8f04-bdc80a1f38c3&amp;k=90610"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> My family has chosen Neways International because its products have total approval of being the &#8220;Safety Conscious Company&#8221; by the Cancer Prevention Coalition  and Dr. Samuel Epstein, director and Nobel Peace Prize winner.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I would like to announce the birth of  <strong>2 </strong>new grandsons<br />
in the month of March:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">3/3 Abram Michael and 3/17 Isaac Andrew</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Both families are doing well and enjoying<br />
their gift/blessing of healthy boys.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Both Moms are nursing, which is an excellent bonding, healthy, nutritional, immunity-building start to life.  The colostrum is so beneficial in creating resistance to illness and growth.  I found this website to be very informative about the benefits for mother and child:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.motheringfromtheheart.com/Benefits.htm"><strong>http://www.motheringfromtheheart.com/Benefits.htm</strong></a></p>
<p>They&#8217;ve gotten their babies started with a healthy immunity and loving relationship.</p>
<p>Now there&#8217;s caring for the baby, changing diapers, cleansing, laundering their adorable little onesies, outfits, dresses, booties, etc.</p>
<p>Initially, bathing a baby can be a little stressful, as they cry from being unclothed, cold and surprised by the sponge bathing and water trickling on their bodies.  But bathing can also develop into a satisfying, playful, relaxing, cleansing touch for both baby and mom/dad.</p>
<p>Most new parents don&#8217;t realize they <em>should be</em> concerned with what  ingredients are in the mainstream baby products.  This is a very important  factor in caring for their new babies.  Otherwise, they can build up a number of toxins that can hamper the healthy start you have created with nursing your baby.</p>
<div id="attachment_201" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-full wp-image-201" title="Neways Gen Baby Pack" src="http://safehealthyliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Neways-Gen-Baby-Pack.jpg" alt="Neways Gen Baby Pack" width="150" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Neways Generations Baby Pack</p></div>
<p><em>Mainstream baby products contain potentially<br />

<p style="text-align: left;">I would like to introduce to you an alternative to the mainstream baby products that are <strong>safe</strong> for babies, toddlers and children: <a class="wp-caption" title="Neways Generations" href="http://safehealthyliving.ineways.com/Products/Products.aspx?CCID=Category1&amp;CURCATID=88&amp;PageId=922" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Neways Generations </span></strong></a>(a complete system of hand &amp; body wash, lotion, powder, detangler, bubble bath, baby pack).</p>
<p>How about taking a look at <a href="http://genshift.com/fatherhood/3-quick-tips-from-a-rookie-dad/">this blog post</a> by my son, Andrew, the new dad, wanting to share and create a communication for others to be, new, experienced dads and perhaps grandpas, too?  He speaks from one generation to another helping to build up baby boys or girls with insight from the &#8220;male nurturing&#8221; perspective.</p>

<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #333333;">What you put in your hand, into your mouth to</span><strong><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><em><span style="color: #333333;">eat</span></em></strong><span style="color: #333333;"> consists of your </span><strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">diet -</span></em><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></strong><span style="color: #333333;">even the smallest of &#8220;food&#8221; makes a difference and affects your body in various ways. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #333333;">But do you consciously think about what you are putting into your mouth?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #333333;">Are you making a conscious effort to follow a plan &#8211; </span><em><span style="color: #333333;">dieting</span></em><span style="color: #333333;"> and, hopefully, </span><em><span style="color: #333333;">exercising</span></em><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">in some way so that when you</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><em><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-style: normal;">weigh in,</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span> </span></em><span style="color: #333333;">you will like the number you see?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333333;">If you are </span><span style="color: #333333;">eating</span><span style="color: #333333;"> quick, fast food, snacking on junk foods </span><span style="color: #333333;">(you know &#8211; soda pop, chips, candy, donuts, sugary, fried goodies</span><span style="color: #333333;">)</span><span style="color: #333333;">, lots of </span><span style="color: #333333;">processed</span><span style="color: #333333;">, canned, </span><span style="color: #333333;">high sodium, high-fat </span><span style="color: #333333;">foods, you could be considered to be </span><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>die-eating</strong> </span></span><span style="color: #333333;">and on your way to disease.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #333333;">So, what we </span><span style="color: #3366ff;"><em><span style="color: #333333;">eat</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></em></span><span style="color: #333333;">does matter and we all need to </span><em><span style="color: #333333;">think</span></em><span style="color: #333333;"> about </span><em><span style="color: #333333;">eating </span></em><span style="color: #333333;">and </span><em><span style="color: #333333;">exercise</span><span style="color: #333333;">.</span></em></strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #333333;">Ok, so I took my son, Andrew&#8217;s advice and wrote this blog about </span><span style="color: #333333;">health and nutrition</span><span style="color: #333333;"> and about an experience in my life and feeling it from the heart.  I was especially motivated when I weighed in</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">today and, even though I</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">exercised</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">and</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">ate healthy</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">most of the time</span><span style="color: #333333;"> this week, I still gained a pound </span><span style="color: #333333;">(but of course,</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;">that was muscle, right!?). </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #333333;">So I&#8217;ll just keep </span><span style="color: #333333;">walking, biking, doing floor exercises, dancing to music, cleaning for clients, climbing stairs</span><span style="color: #333333;"> (you get the idea &#8211; actively moving of some kind).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333333;">The key here is that I was thinking about it and taking action</span><span style="color: #333333;">. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em><strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">It&#8217;s a start, </span></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;">and I&#8217;m learning and</span></span></span></strong></em><span style="color: #333333;"> just doing it</span><span style="color: #333333;"> to hopefully educate and encourage one another.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">My husband, Paul and I have been involved with the Health and Wellness Committee  in our local church for about 3 years.  We really enjoy being a part of this committee.  Since we are new to the area and the parish, it has helped us to get acquainted with parishioners, not only on the committee, but through various activities the committee has sponsored for the benefit of all.  Also, to  offer valuable information to all ages from infant to eighty, singles, families, elderly, widowed, to promote healthy living.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our committee supports 2 parish nurses.  We are also comprised of other nurses who work  in a clinic, hospital, county health department or a nursing home  practicing in various fields relating to the heart, intensive care, mental health or administrative.  We have a pharmacist, physical therapist, dental office manager and a member that is sight impaired. Paul and I represent and are concerned about preventive, alternative health  choices and chemical awareness information. </span><span style="color: #000000;">We are a great blend of people willing to help educate and assist all parishioners with lifes spiritual, physical, mental and emotional well being. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our committee initiated in 2007 and has sponsored 3 annual fall &#8220;Step Into Health&#8221; fairs.  We have had a variety of presenters:</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">a  police officer and squad car with a K9 Unit,  bicycle safety, heart disease, diabetes, lung health, eye disorders, proper hand washing technique with black light error, smoking cessation, senior exercise and community program information, fall prevention, home health care, dental hygiene with free toothbrush and floss, grief support and prayer shawl ministry, blood pressure clinic, balance testing, water purification, </span><span style="color: #000000;">global warming demonstration, </span><span style="color: #000000;">advocare nutritionals, pro&#8217;s &amp; cons of immunizations, dietician and healthy snacks, massage therapists, chiropractic information, braille cards and sight impaired tools, how to read your medication labels, as well as a magic show and  face painting.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Paul and I offer information about chemical awareness, how to  read labels of all mainstream products you purchase,  with handouts listing potentially harmful ingredients, alternative baby and family personal care products,  safe cleaning supplies,  nutritional vitamin supplements, aromatherapy oils, and weight loss and fitness products.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We&#8217;ve also had &#8220;Walks&#8221; for physical exercise and spiritual wellness; which was a great activity for all ages to participate in.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our parish nurses and other volunteer nurses provide FREE monthly blood pressure checks at all church services.  We&#8217;ve held biannual Blood Drives with the help of the junior high students.  They learn community service and receive a stipend for a special field trip.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We have purchased  supplies and equipment for our parish nurse program.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our parish nurses have topical weekly suggestions in our church bulletin which represent our mission statement: </span><em><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">To empower our parish family to incorporate wellness of mind, body and spirit into our daily lives through health education and spiritual support.</span></strong></span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Recently the Wellness Corner stated: </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #000000;">For those not too interested in big diet changes for bone and joint health, try these dietary supplements. Health care providers recommend supplements such as:</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>a good multi-vitamin</li>
<li>Vitamin K</li>
<li>Vitamin C</li>
<li>Vitamin E</li>
<li>fish oil</li>
<li>coenzyme Q10</li>
<li>selenium</li>
<li>phosphorus</li>
<li>calcium</li>
<li>magnesium</li>
<li>vitamin D</li>
<li>boron</li>
<li>silicon,</li>
<li>manganese</li>
<li>zinc</li>
<li>&#8230;and much more!</li>
<li>MSM</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #000000;">Stop smoking; smokers have lower bone mass.  Wear proper shoes and use proper equipment when playing sports.  and enjoy healthier bones and joints, say your parish nurses!</span><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;</span></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #000000;">************************</span></span></p>

<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img title="AcidAlkalineBalanceReport" src="http://www.naturalnews.com/SpecialReports/AcidAlkalineBalance150.jpg" alt="Acid/Alkaline Balance Report" width="150" height="194" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Acid/Alkaline Balance Report</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I just read a great article about the necessity to have a nutritional acid/alkaline balance in your system to maximize a healthy body, free of disease.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">By reading this article you can learn to self regulate your body by the food you eat, how to supplement vitamins and minerals if you do not get all the nutrients necessary to keep yourself alkaline and less acidic. In order to maintain the balance for a healthy, physically fit body and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Below are a few quotes that I found interesting:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;Back in high school chemistry, we learned about pH: acids had low numbers, alkalines had high numbers, and a pH of 7.0 was neutral. And it all meant absolutely nothing in terms of day-to-day life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It now turns out that we have a better shot at long-term health if our body&#8217;s pH is neutral or slightly alkaline. When we tilt toward greater acidity, which can be measured easily, we have a greater risk of developing osteoporosis, weak muscles, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and a host of other health problems.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">____________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;Long term, excess acidity leads to thinner bones and lower muscle mass, points out Anthony Sebastian, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco. These problems are compounded by normal aging, which increases acidosis, bone loss, and muscle wasting. Along the way, calcium and magnesium losses can equate to deficiencies, with many ramifications. Both minerals play essential roles in bone formation and normal heart rhythm. Low magnesium levels can cause muscle cramps, arrhythmias, and anxiety.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">____________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;So if acid foods don&#8217;t necessarily make for an acid pH, what then happens? Sebastian points to four big issues.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">• First, fruits and vegetables are rich in potassium salts, a natural buffer. Eating few of these foods deprives us of potassium, a mineral that protects against hypertension and stroke. According to Cordain&#8217;s research, humans evolved eating a 10:1 ratio of potassium to sodium, and he regards this ratio as our biological baseline. Today, because of heavily salted processed and fast foods, combined with a low intake of fruits and vegetables, the ratio is now 3:1 in favor of sodium. That reversal, he says, wreaks havoc with pH and our dependency on potassium.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">• Second, there has also been a similar reversal in the consumption of naturally occurring bicarbonate (such as potassium bicarbonate) in foods and added chloride (mostly in the form of sodium chloride, or table salt). Bicarbonate is alkaline, where as chloride is acid-yielding. Chloride also constricts blood vessels, and narrows blood vessels reduce circulation, Sebastian says. Because the whole body depends on healthy circulation, vasoconstriction contributes to heart disease, stroke, dementia, and probably every other degenerative disease.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">• Third, eating large amounts of animal protein (including meat, fowl, and seafood) releases sulfuric acid though the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids, also contributing to greater acidity. This acidic shift can be offset with greater consumption of fruits and vegetables (rich in potassium bicarbonate), but again, most Americans eat these foods sparingly.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">• Fourth, grains, such as wheat, rye, and corn, have a net acid-yielding effect, regardless of whether they are in the form of white bread, breakfast cereal, pasta or whole grains. &#8220;Grains are the most frequently consumed plant food in the United States,&#8221; says Sebastian, and account for 65 percent of the plant foods eaten by Americans. &#8220;In addition to their acid yield, grains displace more nutritious fruits and vegetables,&#8221; he adds.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><em><span style="color: #000000;">By reading this article you will learn about the toxins found in most deodorants. I learned these facts 5 years ago, which sparked a dramatic change in the products my family uses for cleaning and personal care. You can understand more about the our lifestyle change to safe, healthier products </span><a href="http://safehealthyliving.com/About"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">here</span></strong></a></em><em><span style="color: #000000;">.  My goal is to help you</span></em><em><span style="color: #000000;"> read labels and know what ingredients to avoid so that you and your family can reduce the toxic overload created by many common products.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">My husband, Paul, upon first using Subdue Deodorant (pictured above) experienced a </span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">terrible red, itchy, patchy, smelly rash</span><span style="color: #000000;">.</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;">But the rash wasn&#8217;t coming from the new deodorant! It was his body shedding the </span><span style="color: #000000;">toxins</span><span style="color: #000000;"> as they came out of his pores from all the years of using over the counter deodorants</span></span><span style="color: #000000;">.</span><span style="color: #000000;"> He applied Eliminator mouthwash and tea tree oil in distilled water (to be covered in a future blog post) to his skin for about a week or two until the rash and toxins subsided.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Did you know that toxicity is one of the two causes of all disease? Yet almost every American is now in toxic overload!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This toxic overload accumulates from many different and often seemingly innocent sources &#8212; things that, until Paul experienced a reaction, we didn&#8217;t think about twice, like deodorant.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Well, we think about them a lot now!  And I think about them every day because I&#8217;ve made it my mission to provide safe, non-toxic yet effective alternatives to people like you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Disease doesn&#8217;t just happen. Health is the product of many small choices that we make every day. Some choices serve cellular health, while others lead to cellular malfunction and down a pathway to disease and even death.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Most deodorants are the source of an amazing array of toxins, many of them quite deadly over time as our bodies absorb them through the skin. But it&#8217;s possible to choose a deodorant that&#8217;s both safe and effective instead!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here&#8217;s an excerpt from an article that I read recently, which share a bit more information:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">_______________</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Toxins in Your Deodorant</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Aluminum, triclosan, propylene glycol and more&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We are exposed to aluminum in cookware, foil, antacids and other OTC drugs, processed food, vaccinations and, as I mentioned last week, in public tap water. We are getting far more than our bodies can handle, and it is contributing to our current epidemic of degenerative brain disorders &#8212; Alzheimer&#8217;s, Lou Gehrig&#8217;s Disease (ALS), Parkinson&#8217;s Disease, etc. Autopsies performed on Alzheimer&#8217;s patients found four times the amount of aluminum considered normal in their brain cells, and, as I mentioned last week, when aluminum is combined with fluoride it causes brain cell death.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Deodorants contribute to our aluminum burden</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;">. Aluminum compounds are used to check  bacterial growth and prevent perspiration. (Preventing perspiration is not a good idea, and it has nothing to do with eliminating odor, which comes from the bacteria.)</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Using aluminum deodorants is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> Most of these contain triclosan, a hormone-disrupting toxin linked with liver damage, eye and skin irritations, impaired thyroid function and the deaths of fish and other wildlife when it pollutes our waterways. Triclosan accumulates in the liver, lungs and kidneys to toxic levels and has been found in 3 of every 5 samples of breast milk from nursing mothers, posing a threat to fetal and childhood development.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Deodorants also contain a variety of other toxic chemicals including propylene glycol, a neurotoxin which may cause kidney and liver damage.</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"> It is a suspected carcinogen and can cause contact dermatitis, enlarged sweat glands, cysts and lung and throat irritations. Parabens are preservatives derived from the highly toxic toluene. They act like estrogens and have been linked with breast cancer. BHT and formaldehyde, other preservatives, are suspected carcinogens. Phthalates are endocrine disrupters that lower testosterone and thyroid activity. (Hypothyroidism is another epidemic today, especially among women.)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">_______________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">These are only some of the toxins commonly found in deodorants and I hope this information causes you to read labels more closely and avoid purchasing deodorants with these toxic ingredients.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">And now that you know the facts and are aware of the toxins in deodorant, you can make a conscious choice to look for a safe, aluminum-free, tricolsan free, propylene glycol free deodorant.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">I&#8217;d encourage you to view this fact sheet about </span></strong><a class="wp-caption" title="Neways Subdue Deoderant" href="http://safehealthyliving.ineways.com/Products/Products.aspx?CCID=ProductInformation1&amp;CURCATID=87&amp;CURPRODID=514&amp;PageId=922"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Neways Subdue Deodorant</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #000000;">– it&#8217;s FREE of all the toxins mentioned above.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Paul and I continue to use Neways Subdue Deodorant and are very thankful to have found a safe non-toxic, non carcinogenic, no aluminum, fragrance-free deodorant that is just as effective as any of the products you find on the shelves.</span></p>
