I want you to know I have been doing all of my personal care and cleaning product shopping since December 2005 from an Idaho based Warehouse Shopping Club. I order online or by a 1-800# and they UPS it right to my door. I never have to worry about any hidden toxins and I have saved a lot of time and money. If you are interested, I can show you how and you will even get $100 in free shopping. I will tell ya too, I get a thank you check for each referral. FYI for my friends in Canada, they deliver to you too!

Now in the theme of safer Toxin Free Homes here are some facts you may or may not already know. I know for a fact that the air quality in the toxic home I lived in on Columbus adversely effected my health, and nearly cost me my life when my cancer came out of remission.

The United States of America Federal Code of Regulations exempts manufacturers from full labeling of products if used for personal, family or household care. [USA FCR: Section 1910.1200C, Title 29, Section 1500.82 2Q1A]

Environmental Protection Agency studies have shown that indoor air pollution can be 3 to 70 times higher than outdoors.

Almost 50% of all illness is due to poor indoor air quality [1989 State of Massachusetts Study]

The EPA conducted a study that found that toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air pollution.

Of 2,983 chemicals analyzed that are found in personal care products:

  • 884 are toxic

  • 146 can cause tumors

  • 218 can cause reproductive complications

  • 778 cause acute toxicity

  • 314 can cause biological mutations

  • 376 can cause skin and eye irritations
