Toxins

Why To Avoid Deodorant

Liz James · September 25, 2024 ·

Well that was fun! I almost felt a little guilty, prompting chatgpt with questions that literally backed itself into a corner. 😜😂🤓
As for me and my house, we can’t avoid the aluminum, barium, and sulfur falling from the sky, but we CAN avoid it in our deodorant. I use Thieves toothpaste as my deodorant (best tip ever, thank you Danette Goodyear ! ). YL also has 3 deodorants…. but we just love the toothpaste as a dual duty product.
Not only does Thieves toothpaste keep me from being stinky, It helps draw out previous antiperspirant buildup and other toxins (ahem, such as those falling from the sky🙄) that tend to gather in pit lymph nodes and eventually create mayhem. The heavy metal (aluminum) that is in common anti-perspirants is there to purposefully clog your pores to reduce wetness. We need to sweat friends, we just don’t have to be stinky!….. it’s a God given talent our body has to help us detox ( and THAT ability to detox goes a long way towards decreasing the chances of developing some pretty debilitating diseases like Alzheimer’s).

For the record, I’m not a fan of AI, so this feels like I’m feeding the snake his tail and that feels slightly rewarding🤭💪.

Keep Your Pets Safe

Liz James · March 21, 2024 ·

Raise your hand 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️if you share your home with a critter or two (or roughly 55 in our case 🤗🥰). According to statistics, 66% of us do….. and we love ’em. Pet families spend over $19 BILLION dollars a year in the USA on veterinary care (not including supplements, food, collars, etc). 😳
March is Pet Poison Prevention Month and while we’re talking about spring cleaning, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about pets. Yes, they need cleaning themselves on occasion, but equally important….. it’s our job, as the ones who keep them well and healthy….to keep toxins out of their space as much as is “humanly” possible.
According to the American Animal Hospital Association and the ASPCA, these are some of the biggest chemical culprits for bringing harm to animals 👇.
🛑medications
🛑cleaning products
🛑 personal care products
🛑fragrance products
🛑 detergent and detergent “pods”
There are more (take a look at the graphic), but I bring these up to give you a 🙌🙌🙌 for probably already having fixed these issues in your own home and keeping your fur babies safer in the process. Go you!
Animals are often “the canary in the coalmine”. Evidence of toxin overload often affects them on a scale greater than in humans.
Take Georgie for instance. Georgie is our now adult opossum we rescued when she was just an itty bitty thing (her mama had died). Because she was so imprinted on us (she came to be with us before her eyes were open), she was not releasable, and she lives with us as though she is a house cat. Opossums do not live long. A geriatric opossum is over 2 years old. Georgie is over 2 years old now, and doing quite well. The reason opossums do not live long (in addition to getting hit by cars😢) is that they are super sensitive to chemicals…. even more so than cats. Georgie eats all organic human-grade food (I shop at Trader Joe’s and Local Yocal for her🤪), and has had almost zero exposure to chemicals of any kind. The same can be said for our cats🐱, our dogs🐶, our dairy cows🐮, horses🐴, and chickens🐔. Their toxin load is extremely low.
❤️If you happen to still be using traditional toxic cleaners, give Thieves Household Cleaner a try!
❤️mainstream personal care products? Young Living has a treasure chest of healthy alternatives!
❤️plug-ins or other fake fragrances? Get that diffuser out and use it! Young Living oils are safe for use around all types of animals. We even use oils to help them recover from wounds and illnesses, and rarely do we spend $$$$$$ at the vet anymore. We have saved thousands of dollars over the years by using resources like “The Animal Desk Reference” to solve animal health concerns. Remember that 19BILLION dollars a year the USA spends on veterinary care? So thankful Charlie and I contribute minimally to that number every year!
❤️ Detergents and “pods”? Thieves Laundry Soap is an excellent alternative (it’s concentrated so either don’t use but just a little bit, or use one of the recipes on H3 to make your own out of non-toxic ingredients).
Cleaning up your home without adding toxins to your pet’s life only makes sense (and it saves money in so many ways). They are worth it!
What’s one thing you have replaced that might have been shortening your pet’s lifespan by continual “small dose” exposure?

High BPA Levels in Athletic Clothes

Liz James · October 29, 2022 ·

Hmmmmm….. another avenue of environmental endocrine disrupting toxins at work on the human body. 🧐
If you ever wonder why the more than 50% drop in testosterone in recent decades, the extreme rise in infertility issues in both men and women, or the rampant diabetes in our population, take a look around at your personal environment. Endocrine disruptors are everywhere….
Clothing
Foods of the Standard American Diet variety
Beverages
Cosmetics
Bodycare products
Plug ins and air fresheners
And more😥

Essential Oils Testing for Purity

Liz James · October 5, 2022 ·

This is one of the reasons we all use Young Living! Well that, and they get the job done too😉!

 

Seed to Seal Science Pillar Question of the Day – Chris Bowerbank YL
 
Q: Does Young Living test essential oils from other companies?
 
A: Yes. Young Living R&D periodically purchases essential oils that are for sale at retail stores, online/Internet stores, etc. to help us understand and evaluate the quality of products available on the market, and to confirm our position as the World Leader in Essential Oils. We test the oils in our R&D and Quality Control (QC) laboratories and compare the results against both our #youngliving #seedtoseal quality specifications and an authentic Seed to Seal essential oil standard.
For example, we purchased two #peppermint essential oils from different retail brands. The first bottle was labeled as mentha piperita, “100% pure essential oil”, and “GC/MS tested”. The second bottle was also listed as mentha piperita, for aromatherapy use, and an “essential oil blend”.
 
What we found:
▪️ Both samples failed several peppermint specifications
▪️ Retail 2 sample failed aroma testing
▪️ Both samples failed high for lead content
▪️ Retail 2 sample failed high for arsenic
▪️ Both samples likely included adulteration with corn mint
 
Your takeaways:
▪️ GC/MS testing alone is not indicative of essential oil quality
▪️ Heavy metal testing is an important quality test
▪️ An essential oil purchase should not be based solely on price
▪️ Seed to Seal results in quality products supported by #laboratory #testing
 
Did you know that our Young Living Quality Control laboratory conducted over 315,000 tests on our essential oils in 2021? We #testandverify every lot of #yleo premium essential oils to ensure you can trust every bottle. #WeAreYL
