Cancer and Cosmetics -

...........................................................
Everyday we are exposed to numerous pollutants and you would have to be incredibly
deluded not to make some association between modern society and ill health.
One of
the most frightening things a person can hear is “You have cancer¨. Fortunately my
recent scare proved benign but with 1 in 2 of all men and 1 in 3 of all women developing
some form of cancer in their lifetime it¡¦s something many will experience. In 1901
it was 1 in 8000.
Cancer has become an epidemic with over 200 different types. Some will argue the
increased incidence is due to the rise in life expectancy. Admittedly, we do live
much longer now than 100 years ago but that alone does not explain the increase.
Cancer is not an infectious disease and appears to be related to advances in our
civilised life-
The disease is caused when constant
exposure overwhelms the body¡¦s natural immune system and we lose the ability to
purge the toxins and chemicals. The culmulative effect causes healthy cells to mutate
and eventually critical life processes are interrupted leading to death
Scientific research indicates that diet and life style play a major role in the prevention
or onset of cancer. Chemicals are everywhere ¡V in the foods we eat, our water, the
products we use and the air we breathe.
As a nation we are better fed than we have
ever been and yet when it comes to vitamins and minerals we are incredibly malnourished.
Our over farmed soils are depleted of natural nutrients and the wide spread use of
pesticides,insecticides and fertilisers as well as airborne industrial pollutants
makes our crops a hazard to health.

Not all smokers develop cancer but their likelihood of getting it increases with the number of years they have been smoking.
Skin cancer is caused by excessive exposure to intense sunlight and the the sun¡¦s A,B and C rays. The effects of the latter are largely unknown, but the B rays cause sunburn on the surface of the skin. The A rays penetrate deeper and damage cells way below the surface. This can lead to wrinkles,a leathery texture and the potential to develop skin cancer.
You can protect yourself from sun damage by limiting exposure, staying covered as much as possible and using a high quality NON-
However, many over
the counter sun block creams and lotions contain known carcinogens and toxic chemicals
which build up over time and predispose sun bathers to melanoma. Health and beauty
do not always go together.
Your skin is the largest eliminatory organ in the body.
It is a two-
Impurities
in the personal care products industry are not restricted however. It is stricter
in Europe but in USA the FDA admit "Cosmetics and their ingredients are not required
to undergo approval before they are sold. Manufacturers can use any ingredients,
except for 10 prohibited substances, without government review".
This means if you put a chemical compound on your skin your body is likely to absorb
it. You have a lot of hairs and sebaceous glands.
Despite the known dangers associated
with many of the ingredients in cosmetics, skin care and personal care products,
some manufacturers continue to use them. This is because they are inexpensive and
can be used to create products with a look, feel and smell that can be marketed successfully
at huge profits.
Health is not an issue.
A UK study discovered traces of methylparabens in breast cancer tumours. This synthetic
chemical is commonly used in body creams, lotions, washes, anti-
The only way to ensure health and beauty really do go together is to seek 100% synthetic
chemical free cosmetics and skin care products.
Fortunately there is a company which
produce a range made from purely natural ingredients Certified Organic to Food Standards.
These are so safe you could even eat them although it's not to be recommended.
Currently
the only skin care products on the planet to have submitted to independent 3rd party
certification, the active ingredients feed and nourish the skin with bio available
nutrients.
With NO SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS to cause health problems these Certified
Organic Cosmetics and Skin Care prove that health and beauty can go together.
Now
doesn't that give you peace of mind?
