Message: Hello, I have read up on the toxic chemicals that can be found in the most innocent of products that we use every day. I felt so strongly about it that I completely changed all my son's 'toxic' shampoo, bubble bath, toothpase and baby wipes for a healthier alternative. I then began to convert my home by replacing household cleaning products as they ran out for toxic free ones, and also changed my own personal care products too.
I'm happy to say that since doing this, my own itchy skin problem has cleared up totally! I never thought I had an allergy or any skin complaint, I only has a bit of minor itching espcially after a bath, I just thought it was normal and shrugged it off. I must have been irritated by something! Since the switch, my son's red, itchy patches behind his ears have gone - without me treating him with anything!
I have been using these products for 6 months now, and recently decided to start selling these products as I was asked so many times by my friends to keep supplying them too! Since becoming a distributor, I have started taking the companies suppliments, now I was never one for taking vitamins as I always thought if you eat enough fruit and veg, you should be ok. But I cannot tell you how much my energy levels have risen by taking these health product too! I have started supplimenting my 2yr old son now as I want him to get the best possible start in life - well, doesn't every mum?
If you want more information, please do not hesitate to contact me! Email: Michelle.newbold1@virgin.net. I'm just an ordinary mum, but I want to tell everyone about these hidden nasties in our lives that could potentially harm us and the future health of our children!
Wishing you all a happy and healthy life. - Michelle X

Message: Hello Michelle. Anyone interested in avoiding chemicals in personal care products, might be interested in http://web.onetel.net.uk/~plt/nbsls.htm. This contains part of an article I found on the subject.
