Americans Contaminated by Sunscreens

CDC Finds 97 Percent of Americans Contaminated by Sunscreens

Posted by Ina Woolcott

I never use sunscreen, I always want the sun straight on my skin. As for my daughter, only on really hot days I will use organic sunscreen. Generally I don’t bother. So when I came across this from Natural News, I felt relieved that I have always followed my instincts.

(NaturalNews) The Center for Disease Control (CDC) released a new study showing that nearly all Americans are contaminated with oxybenzone, a widely-used sunscreen ingredient. This chemical so far has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, as well as low birth weight in baby girls whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. Oxybenzone is also a penetration enhancer, a chemical that helps other chemicals penetrate the skin. So where has the FDA been on this?

In their online cosmetic safety database, EWG identifies nearly 600 sunscreens sold in the U.S. that contain oxybenzone, including leading brand names like Hawaiian Tropic, Coppertone, and Banana Boat, and many facial moisturizers as well. On top of that, they also show many of these so-called sunscreens offer inadequate protection from the sun. In fact, they found that sunlight also causes oxybenzone to form free radical chemicals that may be linked to cell damage, which is the exact opposite reason many women mistakenly use the sunscreen - to protect them from damaging free radicals which lead to premature aging

And interestingly, as sunscreen sales have risen, so has the rate of skin cancers.

Protecting Children From Toxic Toys

Protecting Children From Toxic Toys

Posted by Ina Woolcott

Protecting one’s children is of utmost important to parents. Unfortunately, it is now necessary to educate ourselves about how to keep our children safe from potentially harmful chemicals in their toys.

In addition to phthalates, lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, bromine, antimony, chromium, tin, xylene, toluene, and bisphenol-A should all be avoided in children’s toys.

One mistake parents make is assuming that products must be proven safe before they can be sold and they trust that the government wouldn’t allow unsafe toys to be sold. Government regulations are very outdated and ineffective when it comes to the ever-changing world of chemicals and their use in consumer products.

The Holographic Universe

The Holographic Universe

By Ina Woolcott

Amazing… this highly interesting video the Holographic Universe, and its second part, prove that the physical world we believe is real is in fact illusion. Energy fields are decoded by our brains into a 3D picture, to give the illusion of a physical world…

The world we know of consists of what our eyes see, what our 5 senses tell us. Our ears hear, our noses smell, our tongues taste, and our hands feel. Man is dependent on only those 5 senses since birth. That is why he only knows the external world, the way it is presented by these 5 senses. Yet scientific research carried out on our senses, has revealed very different facts about what we call the external world. And these facts have brought to light a very important secret about matter which makes up this physical world.

Holographic Universe (Part 1 of 2 ) its all illusion.

I also personally recommend this amazing book, I have read no less than 5 times since 2004 - Michael Talbot, The Holographic Universe.

Artificial Colouring in Food and Drinks Can Cause Cancer

Artificial Colouring in Food and Drinks Can Cause Cancer

By Ina Woolcott

As long as I can remember, my mum never bought anything containing artificial colourings, flavourings, sweeteners or E numbers. I remember her checking the ingredients every time we went shopping. I never really questioned her, just had an inherent trust that she knew what is best. THANKS MUM ;-)

… and I am now passing this same knowledge onto my daughter. I never really knew why artificial colours etc were so bad back then, and as I got older it made sense to me that you just don’t eat anything artificial, as this implies it is fake! Anyhow, I received this from the Natural News website I am subscribed to and would like to share it with others who are interested or who happen to come acroos this posting. Very interesting and educational…

Have you ever wondered why companies use artificial colors? You might think it’s because they want to make their food look good, but there’s another reason - a far deeper reason - why companies use artificial colorus to make their foods more appealing to consumers. Keep reading to learn what that is…

Help Save 5 Million Acres of Rainforest | Alan Forrest Smith

Help Save 5 Million Acres of Rainforest | Alan Forrest Smith

By Viola Woolcott

It saddens me that when it comes to making money people have no limits to what they will do, as if enough rainforest hasn’t been, and is being, destroyed already. What needs to happen for people to wake up? Its all well and good putting carbon taxes on things like flying, but what are they gonna do with all that extra tax money? Give it to mother earth and apologise? A funny analogy, but the scene in Titanic always springs to mind when the ‘bad guy’ tries to buy his way on to a boat to be rescued and is bluntly told that all the money in the world cant save him now…

The Achuar people are the natural custodians of over two million acres of the most beautiful, untouched rainforest on planet earth today. The Achuar need our help to protect their remote virgin rainforest the oil industry seeks to destroy. Just over 5,000 inhabitants (plus 4 other groups) in a land that is 5 Million acres in size. These people are asking YOU to help them. It’s urgent you respond right away. …read more here

Popular GREEN products test positive for toxicant

Popular GREEN products test positive for toxicant

By Ina Woolcott

Surprise - Surprise

I was already aware that so called eco, organic, green, natural products etc are often full of ‘crap’, so reading this article came as no surprise. Personally, I only use Products of Mistry’s, for me and my daughter, and I also converted my mum to this product line after making her privy to what was really in all the apparently ‘good for you and good for the environment products’…

“New tests of 100 “natural” and “organic” soaps, shampoos and other consumer products show that nearly half of them contained a cancer-causing chemical that is a byproduct of petrochemicals used in manufacturing.”

Monkeys Prefer Organic Bananas in Copenhagen Zoo

Monkeys Prefer Organic Bananas in Copenhagen Zoo

By Ina Woolcott

Although a little outdated (from 2003), the information this article is timeless and priceless. It caught my eye and brought a smile to my face. It is about the monkeys of Copenhagen Zoo, who when presented with organic and un-organic fruits, reject the un-organic produce! They will even eat the skins of organic bananas, yet peel the un-organic ones. This shows they have more common sense then some of us, and also that there is obviously something wrong with un-organic produce. They can probably smell the chemicals a mile off! Good for them, I love it. It proves to me once again that I don’t want pesticide and fertiliser laced produce to enter my (or my daughters for that matter) body.

Deforestation of the Worlds Rainforests

Deforestation of the Worlds Rainforests

By Ina Woolcott

The sad reality about deforestation… at this present time 12 million hectares are cleared annually. Human forest dwellers are losing their home, shelter and the animals and plants that sustain them. When the land is cleared, there is less rainfall and the once harmonious ecosystem is out of sync.

It is incomprehensible that human beings with good conscience and intentions would even agree to pick up a chainsaw and cut down the earths lungs on a mass scale. Perhaps their souls and conscience are easily sold for money. This is not right though and should not be allowed.

Mercury Link to Autism and Alzheimer’s

Mercury Link to Autism and Alzheimer’s

By Ina Woolcott

Another one of my favourite websites! I love the whole content. This particular article focuses on mercury and chemical poisoning in people of all ages, and the role mercury plays in autism and Alzheimer’s. At the bottom of this article are 2 videos that I recommend you watch, one is How Mercury Causes Brain Degeneration, and the other is What is Mercury’s Role in Autism and Alzheimer’s disease? The first video talks in depth about research done into mercury toxicity and the strong link between mercury and Alzheimer’s. Anyone got amalgam and mercury fillings??? Get rid of them ASAP! For the second video, Dr. Haley, a biochemist at the University of Kentucky, probably one of the world’s top experts on mercury toxicity, gives a fascinating review of the irrefutable evidence that links mercury toxicity to Autism and Alzheimer’s disease.

Human destiny is on a collision course with mercury. Tomorrow we will all wake up to a world with about twenty tons more mercury in the environment, another ton will be put into people’s mouths by dentists, and tens of thousands of little children will receive vaccinations laced with toxic mercury molecules, in the form of ethyl-mercury, super-charged with aluminium.

Jon Rappoport - Interview of Ex-Vaccine Researcher

Jon Rappoport - Interview of Ex-Vaccine Researcher

By Ina Woolcott

Just Say NO

At the highest levels of the medical cartel, vaccines are a top priority because they cause a weakening of the immune system.

I love this interview between John Rappoport and an ex-vaccine researcher. The ex researcher does not want to reveal which vaccines he worked with, as he doesn’t not want to be harassed by the FBI or even the IRS if his identity is revealed. He knows a few people to whom this has happened.

A compelling read that makes sense on every level.

Some excerpts:

Q: There are medical historians who state that the overall decline of illnesses was not due to vaccines.

A: I know. For a long time, I ignored their work.

Q: Why?

A: Because I was afraid of what I would find out. I was in the business of developing vaccines. My livelihood depended on continuing that work.

Q What contaminants did you find in your many years of work with vaccines?

A: … I’ll give you some of what I came across, and I’ll also give you what colleagues of mine found. Here’s a partial list. In the Rimavex measles vaccine, we found various chicken viruses. In polio vaccine, we found acanthamoeba, which is a so-called “brain-eating” amoeba. Simian cytomegalovirus in polio vaccine. Simian foamy virus in the rotavirus vaccine. Bird-cancer viruses in the MMR vaccine. Various micro-organisms in the anthrax vaccine. I’ve found potentially dangerous enzyme inhibitors in several vaccines. Duck, dog, and rabbit viruses in the rubella vaccine. Avian leucosis virus in the flu vaccine. Pestivirus in the MMR vaccine…Of course, I’m not even mentioning the standard chemicals like formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminum which are purposely put into vaccines.

A: no long-term studies are done on any vaccines. Long-term follow-up is not done in any careful way. Why? Because, again, the assumption is made that vaccines do not cause problems. So why should anyone check? On top of that, a vaccine reaction is defined so that all bad reactions are said to occur very soon after the shot is given. But that does not make sense… the vaccine obviously acts in the body for a long period of time after it is given. A reaction can be gradual. Deterioration can be gradual. Neurological problems can develop over time. They do in various conditions, even according to a conventional analysis. So why couldn’t that be the case with vaccines? If chemical poisoning can occur gradually, why couldn’t that be the case with a vaccine which contains mercury?

Foot Note:
Perhaps you know that Tony Blair’s wife is involved with alternative health. There is the possibility that their child has not been given the MMR. Blair recently side-stepped the question in press interviews, and made it seem that he was simply objecting to invasive questioning of his “personal and family life.”
