"There are many ways to make the death rate increase." Robert McNamara, former Secretary of Defense
Not convinced that you need to remove toxic body products from your life? Maybe you're not yet aware of their toxicity. Read the warning box on your Colgate toothpaste. It tells you to call the Poison Control Center. Look at how many ingredients are in your lotion. And Listerine mouth wash stings for a reason.

What would you do if your doctor told you that your tests came back positive for cancer?

A. Make your appointment for surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Assume that when the treatment is over that you'll be back to normal.

B. Make your appointment for surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Take action and begin learning how to clean up your life, lifestyle, and habits.

C. Opt to postpone surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Take action and begin learning how to clean up your life, lifestyle, and habits.

Here's an even better plan. Clean up now while you're cancer free, while you have time.

Eliminating toxic body products isn't a cure for cancer. The cure for cancer is having a healthy body. Eliminating solvents, metals, petroleums, dyes, and fragrances is one piece of the puzzle.

What's harder? Having surgery and then undergoing a series of radiation treatments that make your hair fall out? Or switching out your body products for nontoxic ones?
