According to research reports, active ingredients in antimicrobial soaps and personal care product cause nerve damage. This really is not surprising, as
the experts have been warning readers for years. The ingredient is called
MIT (methylisothiazolinone), which has been found in various products,
including antimicrobial soaps, hand soaps, dish soaps and a many types of
personal cleaning products. People purchase these personal care products thinking they're protecting themselves from various infectious microbes. They think these products make them immune to viruses and bacteria, which might be present in their kitchens or bathrooms, and thus they trust in the mythology of using antimicrobial personal care products to create a sterile
environment.
The manufacturers of these products who, through advertising, encourage
this belief that bacteria on the kitchen counter and in the bathroom are
prime reasons for making people sick. But in reality, we don't live in a
sterile environment and the only thing, which protects us from getting sick,
is a healthy immune system. We are literally exposed to viruses and bacteria
thousands of times each day and it is our immune system, which takes care of
these threats and keeps us safe.
But most of the consumers don't understand this and believe that they can
make their homes clean and spotless by using antimicrobial personal care
products and that will somehow protect them from getting sick. But in
reality they are giving themselves nervous system problems while promoting
the breeding of resistant strains of bacteria. And due to the nervous system
damage, which is caused by these antimicrobial ingredients, people are
probably accelerating the Alzheimer's disease that is caused by these
products. No doubt, people are impacting the learning abilities of their
children by affecting and poisoning their nervous systems, too.
It has been found that these active ingredients are chemically similar to
active orange, which was used in the weapon of mass destruction used in
Vietnam. And while it is not correct to say that your antimicrobial soap
contains active orange, there is indeed a chemical compound, which is
similar in its purpose, function and molecular structure. Is this something,
which you want to use in your kitchen and bathroom? However, millions of
people are doing this each and everyday when they use these products. They
are literally laying a thin film of nerve agent chemicals on their dishes,
and then drink and eat from those dishes.
There are a large number of dangerous poisons used in the form of personal
care products in the average homes in developed countries. This is
something, which experts have been warning for years. All these products are
perfectly legal by regulatory authorities but are quite dangerous at the
same time.
For example, a large number of people still use dryer sheets in their dryer
that do not serve any important function other than to spread fragrance over
your clothing. These are perfume sheets made using perfumes and not
essential oils harvested from flowers. These perfumes are synthetic
chemicals that are produced in chemical plants and many of them are highly
carcinogenic. So after washing the clothes and getting out the entire dirt,
people then coat their clothing with a product, which deposits a thin layer
of toxic chemicals onto their clothes. In other words, we can say that the
clothes were cleaner before they pass through the washer and dryer and now
after coming from washer, they are dangerous to health as they have now
soaked in toxic chemicals. People put these clothes on every other day, walk
around and produce sweat that moistens the clothes and accelerate the
diffusion of such chemicals into their bloodstream through their skin. They
do all this on their own and then they wonder why they are sick. As the
laundry smells like perfume, they think that it is clean.
Now people in an average home in developed countries have become toxic
chemical dump. They use antimicrobial soaps, dryer sheets with toxic
chemicals, and then there are people who use different types of perfumes and
fragrance products, which are loaded with cancer-causing chemicals. There
are people who put deodorant in their armpits, which contains aluminum and
promote diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's disease. And if that is not
sufficient, you can purchase air fresheners, which will release a mist of
toxic chemicals into the air, which you breathe so that you can inhale
carcinogenic chemicals straight into your lungs. Beyond all this, we have
shampoos that are loaded with variety of toxic chemicals and then we have
cleaning products, which contain solvents that are also loaded with all
sorts of toxic chemicals, and we have the cleaning products that contain
solvents, which cause as well as birth defects.
To protect yourself from these diseases and problems, you have to be smart
enough to carefully read ingredient labels and determine what is there in
these products. You need to educate yourself by reading articles to
understand what belongs in your body and what does not. The EPA perceives a
wide majority of these chemicals as environmental hazards and it is not
legal for the manufacturers to use these chemicals in their products and
indirectly allow the users to put them into their bodies.
It is absolutely possible, by the way, to live a healthy life free of these
toxic products. All you need to do is to stop buying these toxic products,
throw them out, and start purchasing products, which in reality protect your
health. You can start this with your laundry detergent, go to the health
food store and get yourself some laundry detergent, which is not made the
fragrance chemicals.
Change all your soap and get rid of the antimicrobial soaps. Use soaps that
are scented with natural and essential oils, such as peppermint and almond
oil. Throw out shampoos and other personal care products, which are loaded
with garbage ingredients and in reality promote problems like dandruff and
hair loss. Most of these products are causing the very problems, which they
claim to be solving.
