Chemicals
We are now exposed to more chemicals than ever before
in the history of man.
As a direct result of this, our immune systems are becoming
overloaded, and many of us are experiencing symptoms
of impaired health, or full blown disease.
It’s said that there are more than 80,000 chemicals in everyday use around the world. Because they all interact with each other , we have no idea of the cumulative health effects that we’re being exposed to.
Many people believe that the prime source of chemicals is “out there” - without realizing that the most common danger to their health comes from the chemicals found inside their own home.
In order to prevent the assault on immune systems from chemicals, we need to know just where the chemicals
are found in our homes, the effects they have on our health – and what to do to avoid exposure to them.
Some of the areas in which they are found are: shampoos, toothpaste, carpet underlay, crease-free fabrics, paints, MDF furniture…….
Here just some of the health concerns that are linked to exposure to Chemicals:
• asthma
• difficulty sleeping
• skin irritation & rashes
• depression
• anxiety
• recurrent infections & illness
• and lowering of the immune system,
• which can lead to other health issues
• up to and including cancer.
To find out more about where the chemicals are in your home, the effect they could be having on you - and what to do to safeguard your health - read the special report on Chemicals At Home
