Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 You must also be careful and make sure you are not allergic to melaleuca - it is from a tree that originally was from Australia, though it grows here in Florida as well, but as an invasive here. Anyway, many people are high allergic to it - I have a friend who was using all melaleuca products and got very sick from contact dermatitis - which didn't sound all that bad to me..but he ended up in the hospital - it was making him toxic, but they didn't know what was causing it - now he can't go near anything with that oil in it. I would ask the person for a sample as well as the ingredient list, but often people do not have a reaction until they have used quite a bit of something they may become allergic to.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I became a Melaleuca distributor earlier this year, since a friend's son got into it and I did it mostly as a favor. After several months of ordering and trying many things, I'm very underimpressed with their products. They are most certainly not all natural. I don't know how they can say this, since most of their products are scented, both the cleaning and health and beauty stuff. They used propylene glycol, among other questionable ingredients, in their deodorants and other health and beauty aid stuff. Most companies that are truly natural do not use that as it has been shown to be carcinogenic. Their supplements are OK, nothing special. > > I am a new member to the board and just starting to learn about > adrenal fatigue and more about my hypothyroidism. > > A friend wants me to join the company Melaleuca and > purchase " natural " cleaning products and other things from that > company.
