Posted in Healthy Living on 22nd March 2010

It is not just about toys from China that are toxic to your children, but as everyday items such as toothpaste is here among American adults are concerned, children are often more susceptible to chemical attack . build a small exposure over time may, in his little body. One of the quickest ways is to add something into the body through the mouth. Drugs such as nitroglycerin for heart disease, vitamin supplements and natural homeopathic remedies are given under the tongue for rapid absorption. Your daily brushing with your favorite toothpaste may also provide a daily dose of antibiotics or other potentially toxic ingredients, without you knowing. I warned you! Most people, even dentists and dental hygienists do not acknowledge there is a warning on the back of most toothpastes (including many health food stores). The warning is mandated by the FDA on the basis of active ingredients, drugs. The most common fluoride, antibiotics and other drugs are used to prevent cavities, tartar or teeth sensitivity. Even toothpaste for children is a warning to the exit of the reach of children under six years. If more than used for brushing is swallowed, contact poison control center or doctor. ” If a child under six swallows half a tube of the lively, colorful as toothpaste flavor bubble gum and contains fluoride, the result could be nearly fatal. Besides fluoride and the risk of poisoning your child if large quantities are ingested, most toothpastes contain saccharin and many other artificial additives. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is another ingredient to stay away. Some studies have reported potential outbreak of mouth sores with SLS. Instead of choosing one of these types of commercial toothpaste for your child or yourself, your family provides nutritious meals and brushing with common sense, without toothpaste potentially toxic ingredients, of course. Super Bug port and your personal care products: In recent years we have heard of an alarming increase of superbugs such as methicillin-resistant Staphlycoccus Aurea (MRSA). CDC and other studies list one cause of the increase of bacteria resistant to antibiotics overuse of antibiotics overall. This overuse is not always in the form of a pill. It can absorb a small amount of an antimicrobial drug through your personal products. Many brands of toothpaste containing deodorants, shampoos and soaps, antibiotics, antibiotics and strong disinfectant cleaner. Triclosan, chloride acetylpyridium and tea tree oil are often used. Although natural, tea tree oil is a potent antibiotic and anti-fungal for better conditions, such as athlete’s foot, suitable as an ingredient in your moisturizer. Antibiotics should be prescribed if you have a severe infection. Informed consumers purchasing decisions are not wise in pretty packages. Read, research and choose wisely for you and your family. Allergies from sources that you may not be used on other common ingredient in dental products thought salicylates. Salicylates (pronounced sal-e-SE-end) are naturally occurring chemicals in plants. They are also used as a main ingredient of aspirin and other medications to relieve pain. Many products contain salicylates skin care as one of its ingredients. Some products contain salicylates in the chemical form or in the botanical ingredients that are included in the formulation. For example, a product that contains herbs, do not list the word “salicylate” on a label, but may contain salicylates, because they are a natural chemical in the grass. In addition to personal care products, salicylates can be found in foods, drugs and cosmetics. Many people find they can not be sensitive to aspirin, but recognize that the ingredients found in many of its personal care products, but are not labeled as aspirin or salicylic acid but with mint or other plants or herbs. Salicylate allergy: Sensitivity to an ingredient may have several causes. The sensitivity is in the substance (allergen) to cause an allergic reaction caused by the immune system. What can a harmless substance to a person, can cause a variety of reactions, from mild to severe, to another person on the basis of how their immune system reacts. The more your immune system is weakened, the more the person will react to substances. Some allergies are inherited, others may develop over time. Salicylate sensitivity can cause symptoms such as: * Asthma-like symptoms, headache * * * itchy stuffy nose, rash or hives * swelling of the hands, feet and facial pain in the stomach * Those who have fibromyalgia and guaifenesin protocol, Paul R. D. St. Amand (what your doctor may not tell you about fibromyalgia), it is advisable to eliminate salicylates from personal care products, cosmetics and supplements. Dr. St. Amand has found that salicylates block the beneficial effects of guaifenesin for the relief of symptoms of fibromyalgia. Just because it’s natural, it does not mean good for you: It is interesting to note that the “natural” products industry promotes plant ingredients for personal care products and cosmetics. Because these plant ingredients contain salicylates, to varying degrees, it is possible that allergies over time by the continued use of these long-term plant compounds that are absorbed through the skin into the body. herbal substances have medicinal properties and has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine and herbal medicine. modern medicines come from plants, but developed the synthetic form. Because essential oils, plant extracts, herbs and plants not used in their proper context for therapy, but the personal care products that could be marketed as “natural”, the question arises, this negative impact on the body for a long period may be due to cross-react among themselves or with drugs? components of the plant is rancid when strong preservatives are used. These conservatives do not qualify as powerful as the plant has been watered listed in the conservation and not separated. There are currently no regulations on the labeling from the FDA to disclose all the ingredients for personal care and cosmetics. Can you imagine a lawyer or aloe vera sit for days on your kitchen counter without insurance? This concern about the validity of the “natural” products on the label. Some plants have more than other salicylates. Mint essential oils and plant extracts have the greatest amount. Of course, most toothpastes contain mint. Many brands of mouthrinses containing essential oils and salicylic acid.
