Lawmakers want FDA to crack down on soap makers | simpleunhookedliving

Lawmakers want FDA to crack down on soap makers | simpleunhookedliving



Such a scam. Such a big scam!



Most of the time, including this bill, regulations are NOT to protrect the consumer as claimed. They are to protect big business from competition.



Many people have realized the dangers of our modern cosmetics and cleaners and are switching to handmade, natural products, even though they are way more expensive (unless you make them yourself. Then you might break even). Big Business is feeling the affects and has acted by buying a Senator to pass a bill that will bankrupt the small guy.



It's not right.

This makes more sense the doctors resent advise to me to always wear my sunglasses outside. I don't' go out often (enough) so how could too much sunlight be causing a problem?

7 Easy Ways to Remove Toxins from Your Life - Whole New Mom

7 Easy Ways to Remove Toxins from Your Life - Whole New Mom



On the cookware, my research says cast iron is almost as good as the ceramic. When I first married I had never heard of the ceramic (no web yet:-)) and I gradually switched to all cast iron then. I LOVE it! Hubby and I bought our first skillet together. My mom heard what I was doing and gave me my Grandmother's dutch oven (that I use at least once a week still). I have received many pieces for gifts and "I don't want this and I heard you use cast iron." (including an adorable tea pot!) And the cool thing is...they all match! No matter how old or new they are :-)

Tiny amount of the iron leaches into our food (a good thing for us slightly anemic inclined) and I get my exercise while cooking (yes, they are heavy, but it's the best way to "pump iron" :-D) They aren't really hard to maintain and I look forward to passing them down to my children some day. AND they go camping great, too! Thrive on an annual trip, actually. (and no, I don't get paid by the manufacture, but maybe I should). I would love a couple of ceramic pieces (my mom has one and it's neat), but I am happy with my iron.



I began to make my own laundry soap last year when I realized that our dish soap is what was causing the constant hives in the house. Haven't found a dish-soap recipe I liked yet (will be trying the one here this week), but a lot of the hives have disappeared by using hypoallergenic dish soap and changing the laundry soap. Hubby's mysterious hives have apparently completely stopped. I replaced fabric softener with vinegar when we first married because of his allergies, so I don't know why it took so long to figure the soap part out :-P



I have also been gradually replacing as much plastic with glass as I can. I have switched to pint canning jars for glasses, for one thing. Both plastic and glass glasses break way too easy, but these jars really hold up to abuse. And when they do break they are incredibly cheap to replace:-)



There are other ways I am trying to reduce our toxins too. Sadly, there is nothing I can do about the mold and we can't afford to move, so I am trying to figure out how to live with it. Not easy and I suspect it may be the cause of many of our illnesses the last few years. But I simply don't know what else to do:-(

ACOG Finally Gets It!

ACOG Finally Gets It!



American College of Gynacolygists=ACOG



They have finally acknowledged the benifits of doulas (proffessional labor coaches).



The studies showing the benefits of a doula are so overwhelmingly in favor of using them that it is often said "If a Doula were a drug it would be considered unethical to NOT use them!"

9 Lies About Fat That Destroyed The World's Health - Business Insider



Do NOT NOT NOT eat a low fat/high carb diet!

Your life depends on it!



(and this is what I have been saying all along; the more natural, God made foods like beef and eggs are far healthier than the man-made foods like margarine and Twinkies!)

The Cholesterol Myth That Could Be Harming Your Health�|�Dr. Joseph Mercola

The Cholesterol Myth That Could Be Harming Your Health�|�Dr. Joseph Mercola

"Eight of the nine doctors on the panel that
developed the new cholesterol guidelines had been making money from the
drug companies that manufacture statin cholesterol-lowering drugs.[ix]

The same drugs that the new guidelines suddenly created a huge new market for in the United States.

Coincidence? I think not."



Lowering your cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart attack is like reducing the police force in your town to reduce crime. Cholesterol is there to heal your body.



This article examines the issue quite well. I urge you to pass it along to all your loved ones!



How do you reduce the risk of heart disease? It's what I've said all along:



  • Trust God
  • Eat natural, God created foods (animals, veggies, fruits only occasionally, whole grains and raw dairy)
  • Exercise in a natural manner, not excessively.
  • Enjoy life
And STAY AWAY FROM ALL MEDICINES POSSIBLE!



They are created by fallible humans for the purpose of making money and though we think we know a lot, we know next to NOTHING about the human body.
