Toxins  

 

A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms. Our body makes them naturally, but has a great system for cleaning itself out. However we are now polluting our bodies with so much extra toxic junk with things like: food preservatives, pesticides, household chemicals, water pollution, and air pollution that our bodies can't keep up. It is killing us! We must cleanse our bodies of toxins and keep as little more from coming in as we can if we ever hope to truly live healthy lives. There are many great resources to learn more about this topic. We suggest you start by reading Toxic Relief by Dr. Don Colbert. He does a great job of pointing out the dire need to purge our lives of toxins. We also recommend several other books on this subject including The Naturally Clean Home by Karyn Siegel-Maier which talks about using safe, toxin free, household products.

Our Story

We made the decision over a year ago to start using healthier products in our home, but we really didn't know what all to do. When Stephanie became pregnant she and started to really look at the ingredients of the food she was putting into her and our baby's body. We also became acutely aware of all the toxic stuff we had in the house when cleaning one day. As I was in the tub trying to clean it as fast as I could because of all the fumes from the tile and tub cleaner, I knew we had to make a change. We started buying natural products from our supermarket and the local Whole Foods Market. A few months later we found out about a company called Melaleuca that sells all kinds of natural, toxin, and chemical free products from cleaners, to bathroom products, to makeup. We decided to start buying from them, and have been extremely pleased with the quality of the products, and their commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Please check them out and if you feel like you would like to try them out, please contact us and let Stephanie know that you are interested. She can tell you more about the company and why we chose them. Whatever you do, please throw out all your mass produced, toxin filled, foods, chemicals, and household products and go buy organic and naturally made products. They work just as well. You will have to pay more, unfortunately, but it's what you're not getting (i.e. toxins, preservatives, chemicals, stuff that kills your body) that you're paying for.

Sincerely,

Chris & Steph
