This business was born out of necessity after a medical doctor informed me: “It hasn’t killed you yet; I guess it’s not going to now.” For nineteen years I have suffered from allergies and sensitivities including a chronic cough for all those years. I’ve had appointments with all kinds of medical specialists; ENT, respirologist, allergy specialists, from Newfoundland, Ontario, and Florida. I’ve had a myriad of tests and scopes; been prescribed many forms of medications, nasal sprays, and puffers all to no avail. Then the final piece of advice: “It’s something you’ll just have to live with.”
It’s only when I read a health book, “Free to Fly” by Judit Rajhathy that I finally realized my problems weren’t all in my head, but were the result of multiple chemical sensitivities. As a former high school teacher of Art, as well as a visual artist (painter), I was exposed to many chemicals in my work as well as toxins found in my personal care products including poisons in my household cleaners. I have now rid my home of all toxic products, including skin care items. It was almost impossible to find products that were free from toxins and artificial scents. As a result I found there was a need for a complete range of toxic-free and unscented personal care and household products in our modern world, which contains enough toxins of its own. That is why I have tried to provide safe products so that people like you (and me) will have the opportunity to live a healthier life, free of toxins that poison our bodies as well as those of our loved ones and friends. As a result of using toxic-free and unscented products in our home my life has been a whole lot easier. As well I have been visiting a naturopath for the past year who has also helped to put my health back to normal by getting me to do a complete body detoxification, use natural supplements, and changing my body from being acidic to alkaline.
We must think healthy to be healthy. It includes removing as many toxins and poisons as possible- a war we must fight daily. Unfortunately, many lifestyles today contribute to various forms of chronic illnesses; dangers that are present in the products and chemicals used at home and in the workplace. In the past century alone there have been many billions of pounds of toxic and radioactive waste released into the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we consume. No one is immune to these toxic chemicals; it is just a matter of time and levels of toxins before we, too, succumb to some form of illness, allergy, or chronic disease.
We all need to research better ways to protect ourselves from this intrusion into our daily lives. The use of toxic-free, unscented, hypo-allergenic, and environmentally friendly products will rid us of the “chemical soup” which enters our bodies daily. Perhaps Dr. Dick Irwin, Toxicologist, Texas A & M University summed this up best, “Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to health. The diseases we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 1900’s) and into the 21st. century are the diseases of chemical origin.”
