Got Acne? Don’t Get Cancer too!

· ·

Oooh boy.🙄 Here we go again. I can’t count the number of times I used prescription and OTC products containing benzoyl peroxide (BPO) growing up in the 1980’s. Thankfully, I only had a spotty acne history (ha! accidental pun there 😁), but I had lots of friends and family members who relied on benzoyl peroxide to treat some pretty hardcore acne. Now, we find out that BPO can pretty easily turn into the carcinogen benzene under the right conditions (for example: BPO product sits in a hot🔥☀️ transport ✈️🚢🚂 container or a backpack or bag in a☀️🔥 hot car and things go south ☠️ pretty quick).
I’ve talked to numerous people over the years who have discovered (just like I have) that perhaps our society’s propensity for skin cancer doesn’t lie in being in the sun a lot…. rather it lies in the toxins we put in our body and on our body. Clean up the toxin load, and interesting changes occur. I’m a blue-eyed blonde. I can be out in the sun all day and will not get burned… often not even get pink. That didn’t used to be the case. I used to get sunburned at least a few times a year in my much younger years. What changed? 🤔
The last 23 years of learning what toxins do to a body, and making some educated changes!
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone were to dig deeper, that this new BPO information wasn’t so new after all. “They” are quite good at hiding information for the sake of the $$.
If you’ve got kiddos in the acne era of their lives, avoid the benzoyl peroxide acne formulations. Young Living has a stellar acne spot treatment that zaps zits like a champ. No BPO…. just clean ingredients! Pair it up with the charcoal bar soap (or the mask you might have gotten as an order freebie a few months ago!), and you’ve got your dream team for your favorite teen (or maybe yourself….. tho if you have an adult acne, we should chat because root cause varies, and the skin is just a mirror to what is really going on inside. )

Clean Your Liver

· ·

There’s doing “a thing” and then there’s a lifestyle😉.
Have you ever cleaned and organized your house, organized a junk drawer or closet, only to find it completely unorganized and overflowing (AGAIN 🥴!) …..in a matter of weeks? It feels very defeating, doesn’t it?
What if you cleaned and decluttered your house, but instead just moved all the debris, junk, and extra stuff in your bedroom instead of giving it to Goodwill or sending it to the trash heap?
…. or put it all in your bathtub and shower?
….. or put it all in the kitchen?
You get the point here by now I’m sure.
Cleanses for the body are no different. If you aren’t eliminating the junk and debris (kicking it to the curb), it’s just being relocated within the, and that can cause unpleasant issues.
No cleanse should be attempted until your detox pathways are ready to receive new junk, and the liver (especially the liver!) feels loved and supported. The liver does about 500 things for us (no joke!), so if it’s not able to function properly, you can imagine the trickle-down effect elsewhere in the body.
Detoxzyme was a YL freebie last month and this is a great time to put it to good use. In addition to helping us better digest foods we eat, it also helps in opening the gallbladder duct and cleansing the liver…. bonus points for creating an inhospitable environment for candida, yeast, and parasites. (As we clean house, we don’t want to be encouraging messing it all up again…. right? )
JuvaTone probably isn’t on your daily favorite list. Lovin’ on the liver often gets overlooked (kinda like how often do you do a deep cleaning of the inside of your icky garbage can? 🤢). Juvatone supports healthy liver function, and it also helps with the elimination of that which needs kicking to the curb.
Clues your Liver might need some lovin’ especially if you are thinking about a cleanse in your future:
🛑poop that is a weird color (lighter or darker than normal)
🛑Constipation: if you aren’t having at least one bowel movement a day, you can most assuredly assume your liver is stressed. Start here! ….. get your bowels moving friend. I have LOTS of information in previous posts on how to improve bowel performance.
🛑rashes, acne, and other skin conditions
🛑heartburn/reflux
🛑physical or mental fatigue
🛑headaches
🛑digestive disturbances
A healthy lifestyle means you have a system in place to help you both reach and keep your goals. Use your tools! I don’t ever do any sort of cleansing without first giving my liver VIP TLC beforehand.

PS: Have you ever done a cleanse? Any sort whatsoever? If so, what kind? I’m ramping up for a full moon parasite cleanse later this month. Don’t judge me… join me. Eight out of ten of you are probably wormy too 😉.

Unfair. Unjust. Intransparent

It’s almost like our food system has the same problem as our US Citizen travel vs Illegal Immigration.
Thank you OrganicEye for not only bringing this subject to our attention but also for FIGHTING for truth and fairness in the organic food industry. This is an obscene use of greenwashing and government-sanctioned persecution of US Organic farmers who are working so hard to provide for us. They are being regulated to death while their foreign counterparts are given basically a free pass. (I’ll post the full article in the comments below).
*****
Consider this:
On one hand, when a US Citizen flies ✈️ (one of the many reasons I don’t fly anymore), we have to prove who we are, perhaps prove our “health”, have “weapon like” travel-sized scissors and such confiscated, get scanned, groped, and irradiated and our luggage perhaps searched and always x-rayed.
If the US Citizen flew out of the country, they will be asked where they were, what they are bringing home, whether have they been around any agriculture or sick people, and the subsequent answers could mean a fine, detainment, and possible confiscation of personal property. Bonus points 🙄🥴…. we pay big bucks for this “privilege”.
On the other hand, our US borders are wide open and an illegal immigrant can walk across our borders perhaps carrying drugs, weapons, communicable diseases, or any matter of past criminal record with no form of provable identification, and they will receive 💰💰(our tax dollars) for doing so in the process.
*******
We citizens of the USA are really no different than a bunch of organic grapes 🍇 grown in the USA (versus the “same” grapes 🍇that are imported from another country).
Buy local and know your farmer. Support the farmer who continues to do the right thing against all odds and obstacles placed before them by the US Government.
Their livelihood and your health depend on it.

Interesting. My generic Yetis and generic Stanley all were negative for lead. My real Yetis & hydro flask is positive for lead!!! So in the trash they go. Are they purposely poisoning us if we buy nicer???
