Are You Living in a Toxic Home?
by Dr. Carolyn Berghuis, MS, ND, CTN
Wellness Director: Joy of Raphael
Did you know?
-
The most common poison exposures for children were ingestion of household products, such as cleaning substances. These products contain harmful ingredients such as dioxins and phthalates; which are harmful hormones disrupters that lead to not only hormonal imbalances such as unwanted weight gain, they can lead to hormonal cancers. Chlorine is the number one cause of child poisonings in the U.S.
-
150 chemicals found in the home are associated with allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological disorders? Chemicals such as organophosphate, insecticides and metabolites not only kill insects, unwanted weeds and "germs" they contribute to premature cell death in the human body.
-
90% of toxic hazards are caused by the inhalation of vapors and absorption of hazardous particles such as phthalates and furans.
-
The dramatic increases in rates of asthma in women in the past 10 years are believed to be due to women's longer exposure times to household chemicals such as organochlorides, insecticides, organophosphates, insecticides, and metabolites.
-
Women often work closely with potentially toxic chemicals, and preliminary research suggests that their physiology is more conductive to absorbing and carrying these chemicals. Research estimates the health care cost of U.S. women's environmentally associated diseases is $12.2 billion annually.
So where do you start, how do you begin to remove these deadly toxins form your home? I suggest beginning with your laundry cleaning products. Introducing non-toxic laundry cleaners is not only easy, you can save money. I have personally been using household cleaning products from a company named Shaklee - one of Oprah's favorites.

Cervical Cancer; Is Vaccination the Answer?
by Dr. Carolyn Berghuis, MS, ND, CTN
Wellness Director: Joy of Raphael
It seems I have had several patients inquire about vaccination as of late, specifically the Gardasil vaccine. While, I don't prescribe such medications (this is the job of your medical doctor), I do share my views and pertinent information to help individuals make an informed decision. Here are some facts you may find interesting from www.Mercola.com.
"In the United States, as of August 2007 a review of the National Vaccine Information Center revealed the following, quite alarming, statistic about this unnecessary vaccine: 2,207 adverse reactions to Gardasil have been reported. Among them:
- 5 girls died
- 31 were considered life-threatening
- 1,385 required a visit to the emergency room
- 451 of the girls have not recovered as of July 2007
- 51 of the girls were disabled"

There is a tried and true way to avoid the virus which has been linked to cervical cancer; abstinence. I know this may sound old fashioned, believe me, as the mother of teenagers and the grandmother of granddaughters I can relate to your concerns. I am living in the "trenches" with all of you. However, abstinence offers limitless rewards. The least being prevention of genital warts and other sexually transmitted diseases. | |
