Facts about Chemicals and Women's Health

I know that I talk a lot about the harmful affects of the chemicals that we clean our homes and wash our clothes with and the need for a TOXIC INTERVENTION . But do you realize that we women need a toxic intervention in what we put ON our bodies as well?  Yup, what you put ON your body is as bad as what you put IN your body... Ever wonder why we're not winning what many believe to be the WINNABLE war on cancer? 

Here's the reality ( according to DrJones.tv)
Each day at least 3 personal-care products (PCP) are applied to the skin of of children and infants.

Women use an average of 13 PCP's and six or more cosmetics while men use 10. Many of the products are applied to the skin several times per day.

The average women applies over 515 chemicals to her face per day.

Many of our personal-care products contain carcinogens, "hidden carcinogens", allergens, hormone disruptors and damaging nano-particles. The ingredients found in PCPs and cosmetics haven't just been linked to cancer, but also infertility, birth defects and developmental disorders. YET:

"The National Cosmetology Association gives out more than 1 million cosmetics and personal-care products each year to about 30,000 breast cancer patients."
