Suffering for Beauty

Historically, women have gone to great lengths for beauty. They have endured chronic renal failure, gout and anemia by using lead based makeup in the Elizabethan era. French Noblewomen in the 18th century went as far as loosing teeth, suffering gingivitis, kidney and nervous system damage by mixing vermilion rouge which was concocted of sulphur and mercury.

What about 21st century western civilization… surely we’ve changed? Apparently not. Chances are your bathroom contains a product or two with the following warning on the label: WARNING! CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. CAUSES EYE BURNS. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTION. Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause dermatitis. Animal studies have shown target organ effects on the liver and kidney. Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or impaired liver, kidney, and pulmonary function may be more susceptible to the effects of this material.

Chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects do not belong in personal care products yet you’ll find these chemicals have entered our bodies, our breast milk and even our children.  Many of the common brands of shampoo, deodorant, face cream and other everyday products contain these dangerous chemicals.

According to Narelle Chenery, creator of Miessence® and director of research and development at ONEgroup, most consumers would be surprised to learn that the government does not require health studies or pre-market testing for cosmetics and other personal care products before they are sold. In her well-known lectures on ‘Dirty Secrets of the Cosmetic Industry’, Narelle states “The toxicity of product ingredients are scrutinized almost exclusively by a self-policing industry safety committee, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel. Because testing is voluntary and controlled by the manufacturers, many ingredients in cosmetics products are not safety tested at all.”

I just received a fantastic testimonial regarding one of my Reps experience with Periodontal Disease and Miessence Toothpaste.  She gave me permission to share with all of you.

I have been using the toothpaste since my first order arrived the first of February. My husband has been using since sometime in February/March when our other toothpaste ran empty. Well….my husband went for his first dental exam in about 10 years on March 10th. His teeth were wonderful, but he had some severe gaps from progressed periodontal disease. When checking for the spacing of gums to the teeth, our dentist prefers nothing higher than a 3. Luke had several 7 and 8’s! They did serious deep cleaning of quadrants of his mouth in March and April.

Then, he began his every 3 month checkup. In July they couldn’t believe how well his gums were already healing and responding. I thought Luke was just telling me stories. Well, he just had another 3 month cleaning and they said after the February cleaning, he will probably be able to go to every 6 months. His hygienist kept saying how she couldn’t believe how much they have improved and how she has never seen gums improve so quickly. Most patients are on the every 3 months for a few years with excellent care. Praise Luke for sharing how he stopped using conventional toothpaste and began using “this organic toothpaste Michelle sells.” In less than a year, my husband went from severe periodontal disease to minor gingivitis.
