Food for Thought

All cosmetics contain toxic chemicals and there are no regulations in opposition to their use for the protection of consumers. When applied, they are absorbed by the skin and enter the bloodstream. Cosmetic poisoning starts from the moment you wake up and use oral detergents and bathe with soap and maybe shampoo.

Followed by all the feel good, smell right lotions, creams, perfumes, colognes and deodorants. Last but not least – makeup, hair sprays, gels and/or creams are used before walking out the door. The cosmetic industry has conditioned a massive portion of the global population to embrace vanity because of the billions that could be made from stroking said vanity via cosmetics.

There are no laws and FDA regulations that require the cosmetic industry to perform any test to demonstrate the safety of their products. They also don’t have to share all the product ingredients with the FDA before a cosmetic goes on the market. Anyone who doesn’t use their cosmetics is belittled by society into using them and those who willingly accept their program are unknowingly self-poisoning.

The amount of toxic chemicals in personal care products is staggering (in the hundreds to thousands). That much poison on the daily over decades is more than the body can cope with. Accelerated deterioration of your body is inevitable.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) aka electromagnetic pollution are generated by electronic devices and electrical appliances in your home. Constant exposure to EMFs is a main health concern. Particularly because continual exposure over the long-term may contribute to or be the cause of certain health issues.

For example, studies suggest that EMF exposure may cause toothaches and other dental problems via the death of oral bacteria, trouble falling and staying asleep via inflammation in the body and erectile dysfunction via nerve damage, resulting in loss of muscle strength – just to name a few. Make the bedroom in your house or apartment an EMF-free zone.

The potential benefits in doing so, may lead to improved sleep quality, better sex life and fewer dental problems over time – to name a few. How long would it take for someone to recover from EMF exposure? Answer – that’s really impossible to say, it all depends on duration of exposure, methods of exposure and frequency of use at home, work and play.

That said, since the body can heal itself, providing oneself with some downtime on the daily can do no harm. Which brings me back to making your bedroom an EMF-free zone.

This can be done quickly and isn’t very expensive:
● Call an electrician and have the light switch in your bedroom replaced with a disconnect switch.
● Turn your phone and all other mobile devices to airplane mode before going to sleep.
● Choose a mattress without metal coils, a box under your mattress (if one is needed) without springs and a bedframe that’s not made of metal.

The metal coils, springs and frame can act as antennas amplifying EMFs.

Our clothing and bedding also contribute to a toxic lifestyle. Synthetic fiber is a plastic produced entirely in a laboratory from petroleum byproducts. Sixty percent of the fibers that are used to make our clothing and bedding are made of synthetic fiber.

Synthetic fibers are known by several names: polyester, nylon, acrylic to name a few. They are cheap to produce and buy. That’s why synthetic fibers account for most of the global textile market. Make no mistake about it, synthetic clothes and bedding are toxic.

The toxic substances contained in synthetic fiber may break down in hot weather and then be absorbed through our skin. Once in the blood, they can act as endocrine disruptors. Every time you take your clothes and bedding to the laundry, fiber detaches from them, enters the waste water and is released into the environment.

These fibers are non-biodegradable, so it’s another source of microplastic pollution. Basically, any fiber that’s not cotton, wool, leather, hemp, silk, bamboo and linen (made from the flax plant) is synthetic. When possible, go organic with cotton, bamboo, hemp and linen. Wool, leather and silk are naturally organic.

Organic fibers are grown without the use of toxic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and chemical fertilizers. They are not processed with any other toxic substances and must be colored with non-toxic dyes. Try to buy organic clothing and bedding with the GOTS or OEKO-TEX certification when possible.
