Look up toxins in products
The Environmental Working Group has developed two databases where consumers can check the ingredients in products and their toxicity is rated.
The first is devoted to personal care products: The Skindeep Database
The second is for household cleaner: The Guide To Healthy Cleaning
They also have several buying guides for sunscreen and pesticides in produce
These are wonderful resources to determine the safety of the products you and your family use everyday!
Just found your site on my phone. Hope to read more. I have lyme disease and am chemically sensitive. I went undiagnosed for 23 years so I have all the toxins I need from my tick born illness. I read your post about things not to say to couples going through infertility treatments. Your suggestions would be good in many circumstances. I am sure I have ssid stupid things to people, but really is it that hard to just listen and bring food? Geez! One of my recent favorotes was the "friend" who said, "you've slways been sick." How do you respond to something like that? I am sorry for all your pain and loss--very different from mine, but loss and suffering opens our ears and hearts to others heartbreak. Bless you and your work.
