What if I told you that the majority, if not all, of the cleaners that you already use on your body and in your home contain toxic chemicals which could prove extremely harmful for not only you and your family, but for our environment as well?
-50% of ALL illness is due to poor indoor air quality
-An EPA study found that the chemical levels inside the home were 70% greater than those found outside, regardless of where the home was located.
-Women who work at home have a 54% greater risk of getting cancer than those who work outside the home. Imagine the effects it must have on babies and small children who are indoors a majority of the time ...crawling around on the floor and putting everything in their mouths ...OR our pets who are home ALL DAY everyday.
The top 12 CANCER CAUSING products in the average home:
-Johnson and Johnson baby powder with talc
-Crest Tarter control toothpaste
-V05 hair conditioner
-Clairol Nice N Easy hair color
-AJAX cleanser
-Lysol Disinfectant

-Liquid Dish Soap is the leading cause of poisonings in the home for children under the age of 6 (over 2.1 million accidental poisonings per year). Most brands contain formaldehyde and ammonia.
Of the Chemicals found in personal care products:
-884 are TOXIC
-146 cause TUMORS
-218 cause REPRODUCTIVE COMPLICATIONS
-314 cause BIOLOGICAL MUTATION
-376 cause skin and eye irritations
(source: U.S. House of Representatives report)
over the last 20-30 years, as more toxic chemicals have been introduced in greater amounts, the level of toxins stored in the fat cells of our bodies has risen. Bio-accumulation studies have shown that some toxins store in our bodies FOR LIFE. Diseases that used to occur later in life are now appearing in younger ages. Diseases that used to be rare are now more frequent.
Example: There has been a 28% increase in childhood cancer since the addition of pesticides into household products.

In one decade there has been a 42% increase in asthma (29% for men; 82% for women - hmmmm I wonder if it's because SHE is doing the cleaning???)
There is an increased risk of Leukemia in children where parents have used pesticides in the home or garden before the child's birth.

Over 150 chemicals found in the average home have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities.

SO ...now that you know ...are you interested in an alternative?
I know I was, and that's why I decided to become an Independent Distributor for Shaklee products. They have been around since 1956, and they are pioneers in the quest to sell products that are environmentally friendly, as well as safe. They don't test on animals. Even their building is completely "green".
I strongly believe in doing my part in contributing to the future wellness of our children and our planet. Therefore, I believe that selling Shaklee products is a great alternative for me. Not only am I selling a product that I believe in and am proud of, but I can also still stay at home and be a mother. I can raise awareness about the truth concerning the products on our shelves, and hopefully encourage other people as well to switch to safer, healthier alternatives ...for a better today AND TOMORROW.
I know that a lot of you are interested in helping the environment. So won't you consider taking a look at my website so that you can decide for yourself?

By switching to Shaklee's natural products, not only will you be buying items that you are already using but you'd be helping the environment, protecting yourself and your home as well...
Shaklee's products will save you time and money. Most of their products are highly concentrated for economy, so you don't need to buy products as often, and it's delivered straight to your door. You can't beat that!

I joined MySpace to keep in touch with friends and family, find some of my long lost friends, and maybe even make a few new ones...
I'd also like to meet anyone who would like to create a healthier lifestyle for themselves, their home and the planet!
Through prayer, we slip our hand into God's hand as He moves mountains!
Life does demand that we cry. But we need to laugh still more often, for there will be an end to our tears, but never to our joy!
