Cosmetic Cancer

November 10, 2010 by laceyswartz Leave a Comment

One of the simplest yet most profound quotes I’ve read regarding the ever-increasing cancer epidemic is from the introduction of Nancy Sleeth’s book, “Go Green, Save Green.”  Nancy quotes her husband, Dr. Matthew Sleeth: “It’s time to stop ‘running for the cure’ and start looking for the cause” (page xiv).

The Breast Cancer Fund is among a growing number of organizations rising up to bring greater attention to fighting the environmental causes of cancer, rather than focusing narrowly on the search for medical cures to be applied once the disease is found.  In reality, pharmaceutical and surgical ‘cures’ can only be temporary.  The real cures lie in finding and preventing the root causes of all cancers.  And the evidence is mounting every day to prove that the root causes are environmental factors such as toxic synthetic chemicals and the decreasing quality of food.

Below is a link to the Breast Cancer Fund’s page about choosing safe cosmetics.  I am not making this stuff up myself when calling attention to these issues.  And as you can see on their site, products that are certified organic to food grade standards are the purest of the pure.

To view the Breast Cancer Fund’s page on selecting safe cosmetics, please click here.

If you would like information on the general criteria I use to select the safest possible products for my family and the planet, based on all my research, please click here.

If you would like information on the products that I have personally chosen for my family  and now also happily represent, which are the world’s first to have been certified organic to food grade standards (2001), please click here.

Chemical Maze

Growing numbers of people today are concerned about potentially harmful synthetic ingredients in food, personal care products, and household cleaning products.  And rightly so.

Cleaning Love

We arrived here in the Black Country (just west of Birmingham in England) on 11 March.  After staying at the church’s community centre and cafe for 5 weeks, we moved into a rental house in mid April and our furniture arrived mid May – after 10 months of transition, it felt so good to have our beds…
