A recent article from the Pediatrics Journal reminded me that Earth Day needs to be celebrated every day.
"Despite advances in recent years and the decrease in fatal poisonings, unintentional child poisonings remain an important public health concern" said U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) investigators Robert L. Franklin and Dr. Gregory B. Rodgers.
Through improvements in product packaging has lowered the occurrence of child poisonings, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USPC) found that in 2004, there were over 86,000 accidental poisonings of children under 5 years old.
According to a recent study in the Pediatrics Journal (Dec 2008), 55% of the involved products had "child-resistant packaging", most often oral medications. The most common cause of poisoning in the remaining 45% of cases involved cleaning products.
Parents and caregivers need to recognize that child-resistant does NOT mean child-proof, and that all potentially toxic products (meds, cleaning products, lighter fluid, antifreeze etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children.
This is the most important single reason for switching to Shaklee's Get Clean products. Then you can remove toxic cleaners from your home forever! Get Clean is 100% nontoxic, they are 100% biodegradable, they work marvelously, and they will save you a ton of money in the long run, because they are so concentrated. And for a gift bonus, think of all the packaging that won't end up in your landfill.

Are you an Enemy to Your Hair?
Many times your hair suffers damage due to poor diet and nutrition, chemical-processing (dying, curling, straightening) heat-styling (blowers. curlers, irons), plus ever increasing stresses and time constraints.
Vulnerable, weakened, unhealthy hair begins with a vulnerable, weakened scalp! Just like your internal body can get out of balance, so can the thin layer of skin on your head. Poor diet, pollutants in air and water, and the stresses of everyday life affect your scalp. Added to that is significant hair and scalp damage do to chemical processing, heat styling and exposure to UV rays. These unique stresses are even more damaging to your scalp than those that harm your skin on the rest of your body.
Nourishing your hair and scalp is also complicated by the needs of different hair types, seasonal and weather changes, not to mention the damage your hair endures when you style it.
Most folks try to solve their problems by purchasing multiple hair care products to address different issues, without success. There are products for hair that is thin, thick, straight, curly, dry or oily, hair that’s permed, has split ends or breaks easily, products that thicken, add body, curl, uncurl, shine, strengthened, strip the oil, slick it down, hold it in place etc., etc., etc. While these products treat symptoms... many times they don't get to the root of the issue. YOU!
What most hair care products don’t address is the underlying cause of unhealthy hair.
They don’t treat the scalp or the inside of the body that feeds the scalp.
Take it from a Cosmetologist... once the hair folicle is out of your scalp treat it with care, cause there is only so much you can do to improve the look and lusture.
