Keeping Aware of Asthma

Keeping Aware of Asthma
Do your part to educate others about this important issue !

In 1998, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that asthma increased 75% from 1980-1994 and in 2007, the EPA reported that an average of one out of every 13 school-age children suffers from asthma.* In fact, “asthma has become the most common serious disease of childhood, and there are at least several well-designed epidemiologic studies that have documented a strong link between use of domestic and industrial cleaning products and risk of asthma,” says Dr. John Spengler, Akira Yamaguchi Professor of Environmental Health and Human Habitation, Department of Environmental Health at Harvard University. "When reviewing the rapid increases of asthma rates in America, it is critical to recognize the link between pollution and human health, including chemical and biological pollutants in indoor environments.”
To help raise awareness around the asthma epidemic, Shaklee has teamed up with Harris Interactive (January 2008) to survey more than 1,000 American moms about their perceptions of home cleaners and their safety.
Key results from the Harris Poll are as follows:
• 81% of moms believe that their household cleaning products can trigger asthma in children and adults

"Moms already know household cleaners can be hazardous if swallowed or spilled directly on your skin, but most don't make the connection that when these products are used as directed on floors, sinks and tubs, their families are exposed 24 hours a day." - Jane Houlihan, VP for Research at Environmental Working Group in Washington, D.C.

• 38% of moms even agree that the air inside their homes is more toxic than the air outside

A person who spends 15 minutes cleaning scale off shower walls could inhale 3 times the “acute one-hour exposure limit” for glycol ether-containing products set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.Shaklee Get Clean Scour Off™ Heavy Duty Paste gently removes stains and is great for cleaning tubs, ovens, sinks, and tiles.

• 88% of moms agree that household cleaning products can be harmful to you and your family’s health

With its incredibly powerful formula, Shaklee Get Clean Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate dominates grease, grime, and dirt 1,000 different ways. Basic H2and Get Clean products offer cleaning choices that are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, free of volatile organic cleaning compounds, and free of harmful fumes.

• 94% of surveyed moms would discontinue use of their favorite household cleaning products if they learned that they might be harmful to their families’ health. However, 35% believe that their children have developed skin rashes from the chemicals in cleaning agents used at home.

Shaklee Get Clean Fresh Laundry Liquid Concentrate, HE Compatible is a two-for-one non-toxic and hypoallergenic concentrate that outperforms leading detergents and big-name stain removers.

• 41% of moms admitted that they don’t know what types of ingredients are in the cleaning products they currently use

Shaklee Get Clean Soft Fabric Fragrance-Free Dryer Sheets use vegetable-based softeners on biodegradable sheets – you can throw the whole thing in the recycling bin when your load is done !

• 91% of moms report that they would use non-toxic cleaning products if they knew they really worked

Shaklee Get Clean offers cleaning choices that are green, safe, powerful and smart !

The Future of Multi-Level Marketing

The Future of Multi-Level Marketing
The home-based business boom, also know as MLM or Network Marketing, isn’t really booming at all. Now it’s true that in the last decade the number of MLM companies popping up all over the United States have grown by over 500%. Yet, the number of distributors has only grown by 15%! So, yes there is a “MLM Boom”, but it’s the number of companies that have boomed, not the number of distributors.What does that mean? It means that there are too many companies competing for the same distributor base, plain and simple. Ever seen a small town “boom” really quickly only to go “bust” in a few years? You know the type I’m talking about. You drive through the town and see closed businesses and shopping malls all through the town and you ask yourself “what happened here?” Now, I’m not saying that the MLM industry is ever going to “bust”.Quite the contrary, the MLM industry will continue to grow with or without you—it’s that strong of a business model. But, it’s not 1977 anymore where Amway, Shaklee and Herbalife are not the only games in town. Instead, there are literally thousands of “good” MLM programs to choose from. To grow a profitable MLM company needs work and dedication, but once you have it rolling, you will enjoy the benefits. Grab a MLM opportunity and make your first step towards your honest MLM Empire.
Shaklee has been around since 1956 and continues to grow. It even proved to grow through the last 3 ressesions we have had. There are NO bad reputations and Shaklee stands by it's practices and Products~! Shaklee is in SATISFACTORY status with the BBB since 1956 as well. Look it up to see 4 yourself~!
Join a company that will NEVER let you down~!

What really makes this company stand apart from the rest? It begins with the products:
1) Each product is designed to provide a specific, important health benefit—usually more than one benefit.

3) The nutritional ingredients used in the products are the form of the ingredient and the amount that has been studied.

4) All ingredients undergo scrutiny from the standpoint of the Shaklee philosophy, as well as scrutiny of the safety of all raw materials and relevant potency of all dietary ingredients. Shaklee has an unwavering commitment to avoid the use of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives. We use non-genetically modified soy protein. Our Shaklee scientists reconfirm the potency of all dietary ingredients—and we retest for contaminants, including lead and heavy metals, pesticides, and more.

The Dreaded Diet Cycle!

The Dreaded Diet Cycle

If you are like most people, you’ve struggled with your weight at one time or another. You’ve been on every fad diet. Initially you lose some weight, but then you gain it back and find yourself heavier than before. This is the dreaded cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Yes, in the short term you can lose the weight, but every time you do this you may be doing more damage than good because your body thinks it’s experiencing a “famine.” In response to that famine, your body goes into survival mode and conserves energy by slowing down your metabolism.

Your body does its best to hold on to the fat you have for as long as it can. So, with many diets the weight you initially lose is not from just fat, but muscle, too. And that loss of muscle slows down your metabolism even further because muscle burns calories.

Muscle = Metabolism.

There are also common challenges—emotional and other physical ones that come along with dieting. Many diets are too restrictive or monotonous, or leave you feeling deprived and don’t teach you how to permanently change your eating and exercise habits. They leave you feeling hungry, tired, and craving the foods you miss most. You’ve about had it, so you return to your old eating habits and gain the weight back. And the sad part is, the weight you put back on is fat weight.

How Cinch Works

The Cinch Inch Loss Plan is different. It addresses one of the primary reasons why other diets fail. Cinch provides you a plan to lose the right way. Instead of losing weight from fat and muscle, the Cinch Inch Loss Plan is Powered by Leucine weight from fat.

Household cleaners are the Number ONE cause of poisoning of children!


The top three culprits according to Poison Control: Household cleaners, bleach and medications. And many of these poisonings are by ingestion.
But what about inhalation?
It may surprise you to learn that poisoning by inhalation is more common, and can be much more harmful, than ingestion. When something harmful is swallowed, the stomach actually begins breaking down and neutralizing the poison before it is absorbed into the bloodstream. However, when you inhale toxic fumes, the poisons go directly into the bloodstream and quickly travel to organs like the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys.

Many products give off toxic vapors, it's called outgassing and occurs even when a chemical is tightly sealed in its container. If you doubt this, just go down the cleaning aisle at your local grocery store and notice how strongly it smells of toxic vapors even though all the containers are sealed tight!
..>
Warning labels on containers refer only to toxic hazards from ingestion; however, only 10% of health problems from chemicals are caused by ingestion. 90% are caused by the inhalation of vapors and absorption of particles.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine

DR. PHILIP LANDRIGAN, chairman, Preventive medicine, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine:
"We are conducting a vast toxicological experiment, and we are using our children as the experimental animals. Not a single child today is born free of synthetic chemicals."..>


Our product-- shows dirt no mercy. In fact, if you don't think our products work better than the other cleaners you've gotten used to, we'll give you your money back. Because we believe, first and foremost, cleaners have to clean.

100 % unconditional satisfaction guarantee that our product does what it says, or you get your money back.
