We Have a Law That Protects Us....Don't We? NO-We do NOT!!

Here is why so many people and children are so sick!! This about it!! Were people and children ALWAYS as sick and riddled with health problems? NO-they were not!

THEY WOULDN’T SELL IT IF IT WASN’T SAFE…WOULD THEY?
When we pick up a product at the local grocery store, most of us like to think we are getting something that has been tested and proven to be safe. After all, we have laws to protect our health and safety, DON’T WE?
Actually, the government has very limited power to regulate manufacturers, or require testing of their products.
The closest thing we have to a regulatory agency for the personal care industry is the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), and their power is extremely limited. Here are some disturbing facts:
• A product that kills 50% of lab animals through ingestion or inhalation can still receive a “non-toxic
designation.
• Of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% have been adequately
test for their negative effects on our health; less than 10% have been tested for their effects on the
nervous system; and nothing is known about the combined effects of those chemicals when mixed
within our bodies.
• No law requires manufacturers to list the exact ingredients on their package label.
• The FDA cannot require companies to do safety testing on their personal care products before they are
sold to the public.
• The FDA cannot require recalls of harmful personal care products from the marketplace.
• The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in
personal care products. The results were as follows:
884 of the chemicals were toxic 314 caused biologic mutation
218 caused reproductive complications 778 caused acute toxicity
148 caused tumors 376 caused eye and skin irritations
ONE COMMON INGREDIENT
Although it would take an entire book to cover all the ingredients commonly used in household and
personal care products, let me tell you about just one as an example, FORMALDEHYDE.
Formaldehyde is used frequently in both cleaning and personal care products because it is a cheap
preservative. The following information is taken from a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) which, by law,
must be supplied to anyone who uses a chemical product in the workplace. The MSDS for formaldehyde
warns: “Suspected carcinogen; May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin; causes burns;
inhalation can cause spasms, edema (fluid buildup) of the larynx and bronchi, and chemical pneumonitis;
extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membrane.”
All these symptoms and more are caused by formaldehyde. Yet manufacturers can put formaldehyde in
shampoo and not list it as an ingredient! You will be shocked to learn that formaldehyde is a common
ingredient in baby shampoo, bubble bath, deodorants, perfume, cologne, hair dye, mouthwash, toothpaste,
hair spray and many other personal care items. The amount of formaldehyde in many of these products is
slight but the risk is there. If all cancers start from the abnormal growth on one cell, then why allow any
amount into or onto your body?

Asthma/Eczema Testimonials

Chemicals in YOUR home causing problems / illnesses... like eczema and asthma!!
There are so many chemicals and cancer causing agents in the daily products most people use.  Not only are they hurting you and your family when you use them... but, they are also out-gassing as they sit under your cabinet!!
Here are some testimonials I would like to share about how switching their homes to melaleuca changed and enhanced some lives:

Asthma Tips/Testimonials:
My husband has Asthma and prior to shopping with Melaleuca I was not able to clean the home if he was present.  This was a huge problem when I became a full-time stay at home mom, especially since he was working a night shift.  I could not clean any part of the home while he was sleeping because the bleach and ammonia fumes would literally wake him up with an asthma attack.  I could not even run the dishwasher until he was gone.  As long as I cleaned in the evenings after he left for work, he was fine.  I wasn't!  I was exhausted at this time of day.  Needless to say, not much cleaning got done!  Now though we are in a completely different place.  Mick picks up any of our cleaners and cleans with me without any cause for concern.  On top of this, we have saved a ton of money.  We no longer buy inhalers every month.  This was costing us $50/month (copay).  Now, we might buy this 1-2 times/year.  Over the last 9 + years this has saved us over $5000 in medication, not to mention doctor expenses.  My husband frequently comments how his home is no longer his enemy!  When we visit the homes of others who still use bleach, he can't even stay in their home.  His eyes immediately water up and he gets a tight chest.  But HIS HOME IS SAFE!

Eczema Tips/ testimonials:
Cleaning products! Yes, cleaning products! When you live with someone who has eczema, you eventually figure out all the triggers. My husband works in a Blood Bank and the lab counters are constantly washed down with diluted bleach. If he does not pay attention and allows his skin to come in contact with the surface, he will have an immediate flare up! My niece and nephew have to wear long pants or stockings to day care because the back of their legs will break out in contact dermititis from the Lysol that is sprayed on the chairs. All these cleaning products leave a residue behind and for someone with eczema this can lead to a serious, miserable flare up. All of Melaleuca's cleaning products are free of harsh and harmful chemicals and will not do this.  Your best friends will be Renew Lotion, Melagel, Dermacort and Melapower! ( everything in contact with their skin makes a BIG difference, laundry detergent is always in contact with their skin all day long on their clothes and linens!)

I just want to share a story from one of my current customers who came to me over 5 years ago with her then 7 year old who has severe eczema.  About a week after she switched over to Melaleuca's products, she called to thank me stating my son is finally sleeping though the night! He was 7 years old! He would literally scratch all night long! On top of that, she said, he refuses to take a bath unless he sees me add the Renew Bath Oil and he reminds her to bring the Melagel with them when they leave the home. Her husband went to their pediatrician and told him, stop prescribing Ointments and Creams and Start prescribing THIS and gave him a Melaleuca catalog. 
The RENEW LOTION is a life-safer and once starting with the Melapower laundry detergent
