3 Things I Changed to Protect My Family’s Health
Protect your family by removing these toxins from your home & replacing them with things that won’t harm them.
Detergent chemicals are often overlooked. What can be so bad… they smell good, right? Well what if I told you, that florally smelling laundry can be contributing to dis-ease to you, your children, your spouse & pets? Yes, harmful toxins in detergent can cause many things, including:
hormone disruptions: obesity, infertility;
respiratory problems: a persistent cough, asthma;
immune dysfunctions;
nervous system issues, which can include infertility, organ damage, cancers;
headaches;
skin problems, rashes, dermatitis;
Inflammation & other symptoms are your body warning you that it isn’t happy. When the body is in a state of dis-ease, it creates a dis-eased state. Dis-ease leads to disease.
The skin is our largest organ
“Clean laundry doesn’t have a smell” Anthea Turner — The Perfect Housewife.
Our skin is the largest organ of our body & is semi-permeable; meaning it absorbs what it comes in contact with. So a good rule of thumb is to not put anything on your skin (or body!) that you wouldn’t put in your mouth…
Detergent has many chemicals in it, so I prefer to use soap nuts. Knowing that I am protecting my families skin helps me to sleep better at night with a clean conscience…
Soap Nuts originate in the Himalayan region of Northern India & Nepal & have been used by populations for centuries for washing cotton, silk & wool.
Here are the soap nuts & the cotton wash bags I use.
Toilet Tissue Contains Harmful Toxins!
Who knew we’ve been putting chemicals on our sensitive area’s…?! Including PFAS, coined “The Forever Chemical” by the media.
Yes, toilet roll contains many harmful chemicals that could potentially be harmful to our health… including PFAS, which remain in the body, hormone disruptions & weakening the immune system, which then can allow cancers to develop.
Chlorine is used to bleach the toilet paper a bright white. Who wants bleach on the sensitive area…? NOT ME!
Formaldehyde is used to strengthen the paper when wet 7 is a known carcinogen & can cause skin irritation & breathing problems.
Ladies, these toxins can cause BV (bacteria vaginosis) & yeast infection. Read my article on ladies health care here.
Fragrances used can contain pthalates which can cause endocrine disruptions & contribute to early death in older people according to an article on WebMD who wrote:
“The researchers looked at data on more than 5,000 adults in the U.S. They found that those between 55 and 64 years old with the highest levels of phthalates in their urine were more likely to die of heart disease than those with lower levels.”

Water Distillation
They say we have clean drinking water, but is it really clean??
The inside of my distiller should give you an idea…
Distillation removes all matter from water leaving just droplets of clean water behind.
Studies prove that hard water can cause calcium deposits in the urinary system.
