DETOXIFY YOUR LIFE!
For your Children's sake!

Why should a three-year-old boy have died a lingering and horrible death after swallowing three ounces of hair conditioner? Two weeks after drinking the liquid, which contains ammonia, the little boy died.
And why should a seven-month-old boy have died? He crawled through a puddle of spilled laundry bleach, which gave him third-degree burns on 50 percent of his tiny body and burned his lungs from the fumes as well. It took him four agonizing days to die. And why should little Peter Schwab have suffered so much? When he was a year old, he crawled over to the dishwasher to watch his mother
unloading it

.
Suddenly, he put a finger into the detergent dispensing cup and ate a fingerful of wet but un dissolved Electrosol. In minutes his face was red and blistered, and the inside of his mouth and his tongue were burned white. Because of a series of lucky circumstances, Peter was in a hospital within minutes and he recovered in a few days. Not so for the little girl across the hall in the hospital who (according to Peter’s mother) ate some dishwasher detergent and required seven operations to reopen her scarred esophagus. Or the eighteen-month-old boy who had to eat and breathe through tubes for five months and at last count has had thirty operations. Dishwasher detergent is what destroyed his throat, too.
Why must these children have suffered so? If only they had never been exposed to such hazardous I chemicals. Every year, five to ten million household poisonings are reported. Many are fatal, and most of the victims are children. These poisonings are the result of accidental ingestion of common household substances found in just about every home.
The real tragedy is, accidents like these can easily be avoided. But most parents aren’t aware that there are effective products on the market that are much safer than nationally advertised brands, and, in most cases, cost less.
This brochure is meant to be a wake-up call for parents. I think you will be shocked to learn about some of the health hazards your child is exposed to every day because of the cleaning and personal care products in your home. I pray you will read this information carefully. Your child’s health and safety may depend on it

HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS, A LOADED GUN.

The average home today contains more chemicals than were found in a typical chemistry lab at the turn of the century. The Consumer Safety Commission has determined that cleaning products are some of the most dangerous substances in the home. Go into your kitchen and bathroom and look under the sinks where you keep your cleaning and personal care supplies. What have you found Window cleaner? Bleach? Laundry and dishwashing detergent? Shampoo? Mouthwash? These products can be violent, lethal poisons with the potential to kill or seriously injure your child — or any child who may come into your home.
Would you keep a loaded gun under your sink’ Of course not! What a silly question! Yet these products can be just as deadly.
Maybe you keep your cleaning and personal care products locked away or up high, out of the reach of children. If you do, good! But I ask you again. Would you feel comfortable keeping a loaded gun there? Would you bet your child’s life that he or she could never get to that gun? Of course not Yet more children under four die of accidental poisonings at home than are accidentally killed with guns at home.
My point is this — why are these lethal products in your home at all Probably because you didn’t realize how dangerous they can be. And you probably weren’t aware that there are products on the market that are effective, much safer, and more economical than grocery store brands. The fact is, by using safer household products, you would no longer be taking unnecessary chances with your child.

LONG-TERM HEALTH HAZARDS OF HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS.

Most poisonings happen slowly, over a long period of time, by daily exposure to toxins in the air, and toxic chemicals that come into contact with the skin. Household products are among the most toxic substances we encounter daily. In one study conducted over a fifteen-year period, women who worked at home had a
54% higher death rate from cancer than women who had jobs away from the home. The study concluded that the increased death rate in the women was due to daily exposure to the hazardous chemicals found in ordinary household products.
Also, a report by the Consumer Product Safety Commission on chemicals commonly found in homes identified 150 that have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities. And, a 1985 EPA report concluded that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than air pollution.
Obviously, children are exposed to these same chemicals at home. After day-in, day-out exposure to these toxins, they may suddenly respond with cancer, learning difficulties, allergies, lung problems, or damage to the immune system.
With your child’s long-term health at stake, should these chemicals remain in your home?
TOXIC INGREDIENTS IN PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
Personal care products are made to put on your skin, in your hair, or in your mouth. But many ingredients used in personal care products are also toxic and can be either ingested during use (like some ingredients in mouthwash and toothpaste), or can be easily absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream (like some ingredients in soaps, lotions, creams, cosmetics, shampoos, deodorants, etc.).
In 1989, a House subcommittee asked the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to analyze 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products. The results were as follows: 884 of the ingredients were found to he toxic. Of these, 778 can cause acute toxicity, 146 can cause tumors, 218 can cause reproductive complications, 314 can cause biological mutation, and 376 can cause skin and eye irritations.
Why must we expose our precious children to these poisons when there are safer alternatives available?
