Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Cosmetics

When you think endocrine, you think - HORMONES. In our cosmetics? Absolutely!

An Excerpt from USA TODAY.

The Food and Drug Administration requires that cosmetics companies test their products for safety so consumers don't develop a rash or eye infection. But it doesn't require companies to study whether products contain chemicals such as endocrine disruptors.
These chemicals — which include preservatives called parabens that are found in many shampoos and conditioners — act like hormones and are linked to reproductive and development problems in infants, Houlihan says.
Because scents can be considered trade secrets, hundreds of ingredients can be lumped together under the heading of "fragrance." Some fragrances are made with endocrine-disrupting chemicals called phthalates, several of which are listed as reproductive or developmental toxins by California and have been banned in cosmetics by the European Union.

Cellular Ion Cleanse Detox

This video is to introduce you to the Cellular Clenase IonX. What it does is it generates negatively charged ions to attract the positively charged ions such as Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, etc., and brings it out of your foot, which has the largest pores on your body. The machine then changes polarity and precipitates the ions out of solution and you see the guck, you feel the difference in the decrease in the stiffness of your joints, the improved range of motion, you feel less tired because of the decreased toxic load. Most people we recommend 10-15 sesssions two times per week initially followed by one session every three months (only once per season) to maintain your optimal health.
