Learn about: Hazardous chemicals in cosmetics, skin care products, and many every day products may contribute to fibromyalgia symptoms and what you can do to protect yourself from this chemical invasion!
Are you suffering with symptoms of chronic toxicity but don't realize that you're toxic?
Toxic Toiletries
Many people examine the labels on their food, but how many of us are wise enough to check the labels on our personal care products? The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health found that 884 chemicals used in personal care products and cosmetics are known to be toxic. In fact, many of the ingredients used in personal care products are the very same harsh chemical toxins used in Industry.
• How many personal care products did you use just this morning? Shampoo, deodorant, lotion, makeup -- the average woman uses a dozen personal care products containing 168 chemical ingredients every day. Men use about six products a day containing 85 chemicals. We absorb, inhale and ingest many of these chemicals into our bodies.
• Could simply rubbing on moisturizer have risks that could be causing some of your symptoms?
• Are you being exposed to toxins in personal care products without knowing it?
• Did you know that companies can put nearly anything into beauty and skin products without fully testing or labeling their products?
• Are cosmetic chemicals getting into you?
Many products (shampoos, deodorants, lotions, makeup, even baby shampoos), contain carcinogens, hormone disrupting chemicals, chemicals that have never been tested for health effects, and we are putting these chemicals on our bodies, in our hair, on our babies, day after day, and the toxic exposures are adding up.
What is this doing to us? Today we are seeing an increase in certain types of cancer, such as skin, breast, and thyroid, infertility, learning disabilities, there's a lot of evidence showing that chemical pollutants are contributing to those increases in chronic diseases.
Join me in this FREE 1 hour tele-seminar and I'll provide you with all of the necessary tools and resources to help you make better choices-- for yourself, your children, and the planet.
You'll learn:
• What the latest science tells us about the links between chemicals and disease.
• How safe are your products and a closer look at their labeling
• How to know which products are safe and how to choose them
• Solutions to help you improve your health and reduce fibromyalgia symptoms
• What you can do to help and protect yourself and your family.

Thanks Deirdre!
I went through a period of breaking out in severe hives, covering most of my body and some days even down my throat. I saw several doctors, none of whom knew what was happening. I got the old "it's just your fibro" speech from two even.
Thankfully, my primary care doctor isn't one to leave stones unturned. She sent me for more allergy testing, to include 250+ scratches on my back. Well, the only positive response was to formaldehyde, and it was VERY positive! The allergist shook his head and said "well, since you aren't a coroner, no problem there". Well, I did my own research and sure enough, formaldehyde is in EVERYTHING!
Soap, shampoo, WATER, AIR, new carpet, many foods, aspartame is a component of formaldehyde... on and on. I realized I was overloaded with this and what I finally put together is when I'm under extreme stress, the hives pop out.
I've radically decreased my exposure to formaldehyde to the best of my ability, and I control my stress better. The combination means I haven't had a massive hive outbreak in over 3 years. My last major outbreak was while taking a heavy duty antibiotic due to a kidney infection. Did I mention formaldehyde is used in many medications as a stablizer?
I'll leave you with one tidbit of information a friend of mine told me the other day. She is working on a PhD in some sort of science that I can't even pronounce. She advised that funeral homes and coroners are ordering half the amount of formaldehyde as they have in past decades. The reason? We are already preserved from all the chemicals we are exposed to daily!
Can't wait for the tele-seminar!!

I've got lots of great information you won't want to miss on my Teleseminar / webcast that's happening on September 23rd. I've provided a link below to register for it if you haven't already.
I'm so delighted to read about what Mariluz has in store for everybody with regards to eliminating toxins from our cosmetics, skin and hair care products. It's about time we had a "make-up call"!
More and more studies are showing that even low doses of some chemicals -- including ingredients found in everyday products such as baby shampoo, skin cream, mascara, and lipsticks, contain toxic chemicals that can disrupt hormones, interfere with the development of young infants and children, and cause disease, lead to chronic pain and fatigue, particularly if exposures occur in the womb or early childhood.
The cosmetics industry contributes more than just a little bit to the chemical problem. Hundreds of tons of chemical-containing beauty products are sold every day -- and applied to people's bodies. According to a 1997 survey by the California Air Resources Board, more than 220 tons of hair spray, 24 tons of styling gels, 12 tons of fragrance and more -- enough products to fill two tanker trucks per day with cosmetic chemical compounds, in just one state!
I invite you to attend my Tele-seminar / webcast on September 23rd where we will be discussing toxic toiletries & chemical overload and how this contributes to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndromes. Please register for it here and don't worry if you can't make it to the live event, I will send you a recording afterwards as long as you are registered for it.

It is an outrage that these toxic chemicals are allowed into the environment and end up in our bodies and our babies bodies. It's time for women to take back their bodies and we have to use our collective voting and purchasing power to change it!
Getting the word out is vital. Small changes and then larger changes -- and then we really can make a difference.
Health, love, and gratitude,
Dr. Dee

Mardy's note: I wanted to just post as an example, what I received as a reminder from the website 'thing' that Deirdre uses for getting ahold after someone has signed up, as I did long ago. It just shows what a professional she is, and how many steps and how much thought goes into finding people to educate and helping them 'get to the information' they want, such as this reminder.
(I am happy to see over 200 people had read here about this upcoming toxins talk on Lumigrate.com. I'm very much looking foward to it and hope ALL my personal friends and family listen in and learn (and then the next step is to make changes, and hopefully live healthier lives for it!).
(I put things in parentheses that say 'number provided', where I've removed the specific #s that were provided so as to not cause confusion with anyone who was wanting to listen. You must go and register with her website to have access to the phone or Internet based information and listen in. AND, you'll be able to listen AFTER the event, I believe, if this particular time does not match with your schedule, but I really REALLY try to listen to it at the time it goes up because then a lot of minds are 'thinking similar thoughts' and that is reinforcing I believe. ~~ Mardy

I'm posting what you/I receive the day OF the event, which explains everything, including the learning objectives, encourages you to participate at the time of the event (as I prefer to do) and then tells you it's okay if you can't be there then, you can access it afterwards..... which is always the biggest question on her stuff that I can see. This one, I'd like to be listening as she is doing it but there is a food tasting event at the Business Incubator, of which I am a member and it's a good networking opportunity to .......... hopefully have MORE people who make food start realizing about health effects and 'get with the program' of progressive, valid information such as on Lumigrate about food allergies and toxins.

Last night I listened 'in real time' to the very informative talk by Dr Dee about Toxic Toiletries, which I prefer to call topical toxins. She says tomato, I say toe mah toe ... (she actually goes into that in the middle of the talk somewhere as the chemical words were tongue twisters and tough to cover in such a short time period). And today I got this very nice follow up emessage from Dr. Dee's website and I wanted to post it here as well, so you'll see the complete overview of her process. I hope it encourages people who are interested to take the TIME and spend some ENERGY registering if they haven't already with her website. AND on this important topic, there is information at links provided for handouts that she is now providing to go with the talks.
I'm seeing her information and delivery morphing to meet the requests and suggestions/feedback she gets. I believe Dr Dee is a tremendous resource and the amount of free information she is providing is quite impressive -- it's just what the Internet has set the stage of expectations for, and then she's able, as a naturopath and a holistic nutritionist, to provide additional services with more or complete customization, for a reasonable charge.
So here's to learning and higher health! Thanks, Deirdre, for all you do to help others -- we're in this together! ~~ Mardy

... I'm very glad to see people finding Lumigrate looking for health care information for their studies! Lumigrate 'comes to you' from my current home 'town' of Grand Junction, Colorado, which has a long 'outstanding' history related to medical, somewhat because of our involvement regionally in uranium in the past. There is a research center here called 'Saccamano' which you might Search / Google and see if they have anything. I'm sorry, I'm not much help on that. I know one of my friends' mothers was checked for it related to the fund to pay people who had been exposed. That and the ads on TV late night that are broadcast national-wide I presume that I see for lawyers who are looking to help people (and make money) who have cases related to mesothelioma. You might also call them for directions to resources. Hope that helps, and do well in your studies! Mardy
PS -- I recall having a patient about five years ago who had worked in the uranium industry and was a patient of Dr Saccamono's way, way back. He said the doctor noticed that it was his the uranium workers who spent their free time in bars that got lung disease moreso than those who didn't -- cigarette smoking was allowed in Colorado in bars (and many other places) until just a few years ago! So Dr Saccamono was on the leading edge of seeing how it's a matter of 'the barrel getting full' related to the body not being able to handle the burdens of stress and toxins, etc. Thought that might be an interesting little tidbit to throw in.

I'm really interested to see golarvi's comment's subject line which is in a foreign lettering and language for one thing, so that was NEAT. And then I've not heard of Jean-Pol Martin but I like that someone's bringing this information to this stream and hope we can open this discussion about learning together. GRATE comment, thank you golarvi!
