RE:The Shampoo/Toxin Connection

[Guest guest]

Let's not get too carried away with criticism or commercial shampoos.

Millions of people use them with no problems whatsoever. Products from major

companies, such as Lever, P & G, Henkel, Dial, etc.are well researched and

safe. Some people (like me) have problems with some highly scented products

from some smaller companies. If so, try a different brand.

Propylene glycol is not a poison. It has been used for years in foods,

including the icing of Oreo cookies. It is also used in some hand lotions.

It is also used in some toothpastes. It is used in some antifreeze, the

environmentally friendly ones. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is very toxic and

has caused the deaths of many pets and other mammals which drink the sweet

liquid left lying by back yard mechanics.

Sodium lauryl sulfate is used in some engine degreasers. It is also used

in many laundry and dishwashing detergents. It is a good surfactant. It may

be a little irritating to some people. It is commonly used with sodium

laureth sulfate in shampoos. This is a milder version, with possibly less

cleaning ability. Re-read the chemical weapons article. It does not say that

sodium lauryl sulfate is toxic. It is used to make bio-warfare agents more

easily dispersible, just as it is used in agriculture to make pesicides and

herbicides better dispersible, and to cling to leaves longer, making them

more effective with less active ingredient. Contrary to shampoo causing

mycotoxins to enter the skin more easily, shampoo properly used helps wash

mycotoxins, and any other fat soluble organics, from the hair.

Just had to jump in here when I heard some discussion of the chemicals in

shampoos. Before I even knew I was being poisoned from hidden mold in my

wall cavities, I was getting some kind of lesions on my scalp that my

hairdresser noticied. I thought I was buying one of the better

shampoos, what a joke. She told me she had another client that had

the same reaction.

Then I started researching the chemicals in commonly sold shampoos, and I

was shocked. Yes, propylene glycol is anti-freeze that is absorbed into the

skin and it is in almost all shampoos, except the natural ones you find in

health food stores, and now some grocery stores. Workers in factories that

work with the stuff are required to wear masks and gloves by the MDS data

sheets.

Sodium laurel sulfate is in all of them too, and that is basically an engine

degreaser, also easily absorbed into the skin. There is no FDA oversight on

cosmetics or personal products, and the FDA is probably corrupt anyway...and

nobody is going to stop the corporations from their huge profits they get

from making people sick. I switched to natural products almost 7 years ago,

and my hair is thicker and I no longer have rashes. Mold isn't the only

coverup going on here.

There is a long road ahead unfortunately.
