Okay the hand sanitizer thing is concerning. Community nurses visited our home daily for over three years, to dress serious slow healing surgical wounds, and the majority of them ONLY used hand sanitizer .. a few opted for the soap and hot water in the bathroom .. but most not! It always concerned me what germs were coming from the previous patient and how many germs the last person on the days list were getting added to their wound … hmmm

The Plastic 4,5,1, and 2 rhyme …. is on my refrigerator door …. it is one thing i am very careful of ( now that i am aware) . A concerning thing I discovered recently is one manufacturer, who was using Plastic 5’s in their cordial bottles have now changed to No. 3 WHAT ? How does this happen ? I am looking now for an alternative and intend writing to them and asking for answers.

Having had a son with multiple chronic AI illness for over 5 years now , we all should look a little closer at our homes and just what is in them. I am starting today.

Thank you Sarah

Every day I deal with fertility issues due to toxic lifestyles. Just as you said, can we do anything right? Educating ourselves and making decisions based on this, is a step in the right direction. Im going to re-tweet this. Thank you.

the intolerance…it says it all, really, doesn’t it. It’s saying our system is fed up.

Hey Amelia…I love that as a teen, you have a take on this that distances you from what your parents do…that you are aware of how you can do it better. I’m probably old enough to be your Mum, which is scary. But I relate!

I find my self piggy backing my parents as they run around with 298347 to-dos on their mind and I think kids my age ( the middleagedteens) should really take on that idea of “Are we ready? If not, then abort. Back away for a bit. Come back later. That’s cool.”
That “Are we ready feeling?” for me is like the seconds before a huge dip in a rollercoaster or like the kickoff of a soccer match. There’s anticipation for the question and even more for what happens after. Am I making sense? “It’s like a little full-stop at the end of one activity. And a nice considered launch pad for the next. It’s a breather.” I guess that sums it up.
I don’t know how many teenagers read your blog Sarah but its the only one I read and I really like it. I especially like your posts on food and meditation…and that one on Justin Bieber. Haha.

Comment on how to detox your beauty cupboard by NIcole Bijlsma

When you consider that the cosmetic and personal care industry is largely self regulated, it should not come as a surprise that the majority of ingredients in our products have not been assessed for human health (Safe Cosmetics, 2009). As a naturopath, it quickly became obvious that what people used on their skin was just as (and in many cases) far more important to address than what they were eating.

Here are some consumer myths worth pondering:
1. It’s on the shelf, therefore it must be safe -WRONG. Almost 80% of ingredients in personal care products have not be adequately assessed for their impact on human health;
2. Organic is better; WRONG. The industry definition for organic is that it contains the atom Carbon, NOT the public perception that it is free from pesticides and still in its natural state
3. Natural is best. NO, the term natural implies it comes from the earth… so does uranium and asbestos!
4. All of the ingredients are listed on teh label; NO. incidental ingredients such as phthalates (hormone disrupting chemicals commonly found in fragrances), dioxins, and formaldehyde are not required to be labelled as they have no technical or functional effect.
5. Lastly and perhaps more shockingly, the ingredients are designed to be beneficial for the skin. Sadly, the opposite is mostly true. If you look at the material safety data sheet of each ingredeint in the majority of our products, they are skin irritants.

Wow, Ok so I’m really sorry for spam commenting you!!! BUT as I said I’m new on your site and the more I’m reading the more I love what I’m seeing! Your story sounds VERY similar to mine, my food intolerances are really just my bodies way of saying “hang on and minute, I’m over this fast paced life, slow down and look after yourself!” I’m really loving your blog and can’t stop reading, glad to hear your life is getting better and better by the day xx
