chlorine free.......
Hello everyone!
I went on the computer today to do a little research about diapers and the different brands for a friend and i learned alot. u gotta read everything here- its amazing to learn all these facts. Once i started the research, i couldn't stop! i was on the comp for actually over 3 hours reading. also- if you have any other knowledge concerning anything related here....feel free to add any facts!!!!
When i looked up all the blogs and forums and sites about huggies, pampers, luvs, seventh generation, etc........- the only ones listed as toxic free was seventh generation, tushies, tender care-earths best and mother nature brand. When i really think about those two words...toxic free.....I'm not sure why anyone would want a toxic anything in their home, on them, or on their baby. well, that's why we research!!!! =)
Ok, so here's the low down:
There are alternative diaper brands that have recently gained popularity by the environmentally conscious. These diapers are chlorine free. They are also non-toxic and not irritating to a baby's skin. Not only are these chlorine free diapers less harmful to the environment, but they are also gentler to a baby's sensitive skin, they are hypo-allergenic, fragrance free and latex free. and they are very easy to find!! =)
I have tried all but mother nature, and I like Seventh Generation and Tushies the best. ( they have no leaks and just a bit better quality than the rest. also, Tushies brand does not use SAP in their diapers, they use cotton- so even better.) And because they all so willingly list all their ingredients on their websites, I researched each one. And, because they listed that they were free of certain toxins, I wanted to research each toxin also and see why these chlorine free diapers do not use them....
So here is what i found out about these 4 toxins:
1. Sodium Polyacrylate Gel: Why is it Dangerous?
This super absorbent material is the toxic polymer and chemical gel that absorbs moisture in throwaway diapers.
This chemical was removed by the FDA from tampons because of its link to toxic shock syndrome. The FDA has not studied its impact against the skin of babies, in spite of the fact that babies wear diapers with this gel 24 hours a day. (wow!!!!) One of the most dangerous aspects of this chemical is that the dangers to babies are not ‘known’, due to lack of studies by our federal watchdog agencies like the FDA. (side note: I don't like the FDA- i think they are extremely money driven, not health driven- and that's been proven many times over.)
SAP can cause allergic reactions, and is lethal to cats if inhaled. Death has occurred from ingestion of just 5 grams of this chemical.
Pediatric journals contain reports of this chemical sticking to babies’ genitals. When the baby’s skin gets wet, this super absorber can pull natural moisture from the top layer of baby’s skin.
In 1987, the Sunday Democrat and Chronicle published news about the new Pampers Ultra. The new gel they used caused severe skin irritations, oozing blood from perineum and scrotal tissues, fever, vomiting, and staph infections in babies. Employees in Pampers factories suffered from tiredness, female organ problems, slow-healing wounds and weight loss.
2. latex: why is it dangerous?
The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) received more than 1000 reports of adverse health effects from exposure to latex (in just 4 years), including 15 deaths due to such exposure. Skin rash is the most common reaction, affecting regular wearers of a latex product.
3. Chlorine: Why is it Dangerous?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found dioxin (a toxic byproduct of chlorine) to be 300,000 times more potent as a carcinogen (a substance capable of causing cancer in living tissue) than DDT. (DDT is a chemical that has been banned in many countries because of it's very high toxicity level) Through special enzymes, our bodies are able to rid themselves of many environmental toxic substances that we come into contact with daily. However, dioxins (A toxic byproduct of chlorine) aren't included. Even if we are exposed to very low levels, dioxins remain in the body and accumulate.
The EPA is now saying that this is soon to become a major health risk problem. The cumulative effects of dioxin in humans have been linked to birth defects, cancer, reproductive disorders and immune system breakdown. *Some more info to better understand: Most paper is made from wood pulp that has been bleached with chlorine. However, 10% of chlorine used ends up combining itself with organic molecules naturally present in the wood to create a series of compounds known collectively as Organochlorines, a family of chemicals that includes some of the most hazardous materials known.
Organochlorines, like dioxins. are extremely long-lived, highly efficient travelers that have spread throughout the global environment. Every human being on the planet now carries organochlorines in his or her body. Scientists are concerned about these chemicals because they believe that when organochlorine molecules enter the body, they mimic hormones, the natural substances we produce in minute quantities to regulate our bodies' many functions. Because organochlorine molecules are shaped like hormone molecules, they can slip into cells in place of our hormones and cause terrible effects. These may include lower IQ, reduced fertility, genital deformities, breast cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, dramatic reductions in human sperm counts, and abnormalities within the immune system through a process called endocrine disruption.
Research has now begun to conclusively link dioxin and organochlorine exposure to birth defects, cancer, and reproductive and developmental disorders. Many scientists believe that the recent reports of declining sperm counts among men in industrialized countries can be traced to organochlorines.
Chlorine Facts
Dioxin, a chemical byproduct of the manufacturing of chlorinebleached paper, is believed to be the single most carcinogenic chemical known to science.
When you open the door of your dishwasher after washing, toxic volatized chlorine from dish detergent and tap water is released into the air.
Thanks to chlorine pollution, Americans ingest a daily amount of dioxin that is already 300 to 600 times greater than the EPA's so-called "safe" dose.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found dioxin to be 300,000 times more potent as a carcinogen than DDT.
Dioxin has been linked to endometriosis, immune system impairment, diabetes, neurotoxicity, birth defects, decreased fertility, and reproductive dysfunction in both women and men.
Studies show that 40-70 percent of the dioxin in bleached coffee filters can leach into your coffee; dioxin found in paper milk cartons also leaches into the milk you drink.
Cancer-causing chemicals like chlorine found in many household products such as coffee filters, disposable diapers, paper towels, and bathroom tissue are readily absorbed through the skin.
4. Fragrance: Why is Chemical Fragrance Dangerous?
Infant’s exposure to chemicals through inhalation and skin absorption is a major cause of skin rash and other aliments.
95% of chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum. They include benzene derivatives, aldehydes and many other known toxics (that are much too long and hard to write in) and sensitizers - capable of causing cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions, headaches, asthma and sinusitis.
Central Nervous System disorders (brain and spine) include Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
An FDA analysis (1968-1972) of 138 compounds used in cosmetics that most frequently involved adverse reactions, identified five chemicals (alpha-terpineol, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, limonene and linalool) that are among the 20 most commonly used in the 31 fragrance products tested by the EPA.
Pampers Brand and Huggies brand:
Studies show levels of TBT in pampers and huggies. (yikes)
Greenpeace toxics expert Thilo Maack said: "The reaction of Procter & Gamble is a scandal. The company is downplaying the danger instead of actively searching for the source of TBT in Pampers. It is absolutely irresponsible to expose babies to these extremely toxic substances".
"Fact is that TBT is one of the most toxic substances ever made, and it is being spread through the environment. It can be absorbed through the skin and contaminates the environment as well as people," he noted.
This environmental pollutant, which has been in the headlines for months because of its extremely high toxicity, has a hormone-like effect. The smallest concentrations of TBT can harm people's immune systems and impair their hormonal system. Tributyltin (TBT) has also been linked to obesity in humans, as it triggers genes that cause the growth of fat cells.
Plus, both use chlorine in their diaper making process, and latex and chemical fragrances.
Research and always be in the "know" about things that effect you and your family! thanks for reading my long letter!!!! =)

Vaccines
Hi everyone! I am writing here after I was doing some reading and studying about vaccines because I wanted to share the info. with you!!! please read, and let me know what you think!
In America, we have a lot of things wrong. Learning disabilities in children and adults are at an all time high right now. Every year more and more children are being diagnosed with learning disabilities and autism. What is the cause of this? According to many experts, including Robert F. Kennedy,Jr., a senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council and author of Deadly Immunity, our government is to blame. There’s growing evidence that shows that a drug called thimerosal is to blame.
This drug is found in vaccines. The fact is, the more vaccines kids get, the more autism, learning disabilities, and lifelong illnesses develop. The drug thimerosal is a preservative that was put in vaccines back in the 1930s. Immediately after the drug was put in, autism cases started to appear. It is important to note that autism had never been known before. There was no such thing. Autism was started and created by the use of the drug used in vaccines. In 1989 the Centers for Disease Control mandated that vaccines increase. Vaccines increased from 10 to 24. This means kids started receiving 24 vaccines.
Thimerosal is a deadly poison causing all types of brain dysfunction, moto-neurological dysfunction, learning disabilities, and causes dozens of other ailments to develop. No one in the FDA has bothered to do any specific analysis or long term study on the cumulative impact that all the vaccines are doing to our children or to us. The fact is, we are injecting our children with 400 times the amount of mercury than even the FDA or EPA considers safe.
A child on the first day he is born is injected with a hepatitis B shot. This is crazy. According to EPA guidelines, you would have to weigh 275 pounds to safely absorb the amount of poison in the hepatitis shot alone. Not to mention all the other shots babies and children receive.
All these vaccines leave children susceptible to bacterial infections. This is one of the major reasons almost all children develop ear infections. Then doctors load up the kids and babies on antibiotics, which is a whole other problem!
Before 1988, only 1 in 2,500 children had autism. Today it is an epidemic in America. 1 in 150 children are autistic. 1 in 6 have some type of learning disability, including neurological disorders, delayed speech, language disorders, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, decreased motor skill function and much more.
Pharmaceutical companies control a lot. They give doctors lots of perks and kickbacks to use the drugs they supply. Drugs cost a lot of money. And they make a lot of money. Did you know that there is a natural, God given cure for everything? (doctors are not trained to even know or tell us about these. Plus, there is definitely no major money to be made by the FDA if they told you a certain digestive enzyme and some raw apple cider vinegar would cure “acid reflux”. (which it will.) Again, there is a natural cure for all things. Even for cancer and AIDS. It seems unbelievable, I know. But it is only because we are a people trained to trust our lives into the hands of doctors and medical technologies that we rarely question or research on our own. And isn’t it funny to note that over the years, medicine has changed over and over again? Constantly finding out a way to do it “better”, or finding out that a certain drugs are in fact not safe for us!? The bible says in Hosea 4:6 : "My people perish for lack of knowledge" so, Research and Pray!
Why do we question scientists and understand that some have a lack of knowledge of spiritual things as they push evolution which we know to be wrong- but we never think to question and ask the Lord about conventional doctors and do the same? I hear a lot of people say, “God gave us doctors to heal us. That’s how God is doing healing.” But that is not entirely true. So often, it is the exact opposite. Doctors do have their place and many are good. But they are human just like everyone and are most definitely susceptible to corrupt practice.
Vaccines are absolutely dangerous and cause disease. Even the producers of them wouldn’t and do not give them to their own children and families. (that’s been well documented time and time again!) But they hide the real health hazard they pose to the American public. It’s sad really.
“The tobacco industry, the oil industry and the pharmaceutical industry all do the same thing. They create their own fake and fraudulent studies. They pay off government politicians to perpetuate lies. They use the news media to make us believe that these things are safe, when in fact they are not safe, and in fact causing many diseases. The science is clear.” – Scarborough.
Well, these are my thoughts today. I was studying earlier, and i wanted to write my thoughts down in letter form to help anyone willing to hear and do the research on their own. As I’ve said in the past, since we’ve been doing research on the topic for the past 2 years almost, we were prompted to do research and and to even fast and pray and as the Lord revealed the truth to us, a steady peace came with it and we are forever thankful to the Lord! So, it makes me happy to tell others because, our boys are so healthy now and they were not before. ( when we were giving them routine shots) and I see first hand just how simple and healthy and safe life can be when you are doing it right.

Anti-antibacterical
Become Anti-antibacterial
You've already heard about the dangers of antibacterial products-they cause the formation of super-bacteria, lead to allergies, and destroy fragile aquatic ecosystems. That's all bad enough, but a new study suggests these household items may go far beyond that, turning regular tap water into poison!
Researchers sought to determine how the antibacterial agent triclosan reacts with chemicals commonly used to treat water. The results show some pretty scary stuff. Triclosan, the most commonly used antibacterial in personal care products- (showing up in over half of all commercial soaps, as well as some toothpastes, deodorants, and shampoos)-forms chloroform when it combines with free chlorine and chloramines, the most commonly used disinfectants in drinking water.
Chloroform, in small doses, causes dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. In higher doses, it damages the liver and kidneys. also has been shown to cause miscarriage, birth defects and abnormal sperm.
It's dangerous and can form when you run water over your toothbrush with toothpaste.....so double-check the ingredients in your personal care items!
So, be careful!

A Happy Heart
- A little devotion for you that helped me along my day today:
This is from Hold You, Mommy:
Have you ever watched "Madame Blueberry," a VeggieTales movie? We have watched it often here at our house.
This chubby little blueberry is blessed to have friends who bear with her, a great tree house and lots of fun stuff. But she can't see any of her blessings b/c she is blindly consumed by what she doesn't have. She is "blue" with envy!
When given a showy invite to the new "Stuff Mart," she accepts it and proceeds to buy one of everything. On the way, she meets a couple of remarkable children. One is happy just having her family there for her birthday, even though she isn't receiving any gifts. The other is sad for a moment when his dad tells him they can't afford the train set, but then he accepts it and moves on.
She is stunned by the gratefulness of these children and their ability to keep a smile on their faces even when they didn't get any stuff. You'll have to watch it to know the ending, but without ruining it for you, Madame Blueberry finally realizes that a thankful heart is a happy heart.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I can relate all too well to Madame Blueberry. You probably can too. It's easy to look at the home of a friend and decide you couldn't possibly invite her over to your house because it isn't as put together as hers. Or we can look at how others dress and decide we must go shopping....ASAP.
Maybe your friend's children are more polite than your kids. So, the next day, you make a whole new list of rules and spring them on your unknowing children. It could be that another husband treats his wife more lovingly or seemingly with more care and concern, and you let the thought run through your mind that you are married to a clod. =)
All of these thoughts are based on what someone else has that we wish we had. During those times of wanting, the cure is to remember that a thankful heart is a happy heart.
I sometimes think that thankfulness is reserved for thank you cards and thanksgiving day and special notes to show you care. But EVERY DAY is an occasion for gratefulness. A thankful heart can change your whole perspective. Philippians 4:6 says " do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks."
So in the good times and in the bad, thank Him. Along with your requests, worries, and fears, remember to count your blessings as well, because a thankful heart really is a happy heart!
Lord, you know our tendency to look at the lives of others and throw a pity party for ourselves because our lives don't appear to be a rosy as theirs. Forgive us Lord, for assuming that others don't have struggles. Help us to pray for others. Help us to see their hearts, instead of only seeing our wants. Remind us to be thankful for all you have done for us. You have blessed us in so many ways; help us to see them. Thank you for Jesus. It's because of Him that we even have the ability to bring our requests to you. Thanks Lord. In Jesus name, amen.
I am thankful for these guys!
pre-k is over
wow! I can't believe the school year is already over! here are a few pics of some fun times in pre-k. His teachers were mrs. ellis and mrs. cervone. they were wonderful and caleb loved them! They did an amazing job doing special crafts and cute parties for kids. There were also lots of special days, such as, wacky day, cultural day, dr suess day and 100th day.They also made all the mommies and daddies feel special with a mother's day tea and flapjacks for dad days. so sweet. Caleb also made lots of good friends....among is fav are neiya, jordyn, taylor, elijiah, ryan, christian and justin.
Here is a poem i wrote for caleb's teachers at the end of the year:
We started out a year ago at CCA where I would grow.
And in pre-k, we had lots of fun;
Except when I had to play run-rabbit-run.
Oh, in our class we learned lots of stories and songs and did tons of crafts-
You all are behind so many of my laughs!
You taught us how to love and share.
And I am so thankful for all your care.
We also would learn bible verses, you said.
As God’s wisdom continued to fill up my head.
Now, I will try to keep in touch with every friend,
So that this wonderful year won’t end.
You said I was a great artist, it’s true
And with god’s gift to me, I’ll send some art to you.
This has been such a great year and you started me on a very special way
I’m so happy to have been a part of your pre-k!
Love, Caleb with a little help from his mommy.
