There's so much re-education needed for the regular folks in the high street who 'trust' the chemist and supermarkets for selling them 'kind to nature' products for everyday cleaning of the house and the body - the facts about respiratory problems, skin problems and more besides if phenomenal. Well done for being a shining chicky light doing just that! Wicked girlie blog by the way - too right Mother Nature is a woman!

I am going back to just baking powder and vinegar for cleaning. You managed to explain the dangers of these chemicals much more eliquently, and in much much more detail, thank you.

However, if you do more research you will realize that this is only one of the many unique solutions that Microban utilizes, therefore, it cannot be said that triclosan is synonymous with Microban, seeing as they produce many more options beyond that ... and seeing that no Microban technology is infused into the toothpastes and soaps that you aforementioned. Additionally, Microban technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use. It is registered with the EPA for all applications in which it is used. I think that before we discontinue use of products that are protected against bacteria and other microbes, we should do more research to see if they really are harmful in any way.

Being an acupuncturist and natural medicine practitioner for over 10 years, I had a chance to see many similar things. You are probably aware of materials such as SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfate) and few of its family members that can be found practically in every common shampoo and soap, and have very similar dangers as the Triclosan. and there are quite a few other similar materials out there. I think it is important to bring it out for the awareness of the public, and to give immediate alternatives as you did, since there are very nice alternatives out there. On a different note, I had the pleasure of walking with some of my friends and patients through the most difficult tiles of their lives, sometimes in the end crossing over to the other side, but, many times, staying here much longer than expected. One particular woman who was my close friend, Terry, had a similar approach to the one you are describing, focusing on the cancer and building natural immunity with regards to the germs. Being in remission from cancer, having the same attitude is much harder to have, and, when it re-appear, it is even harder. But, she kept having a balanced life, full of yoga, healthy living, and constant growth of mind body and soul. Fighting like a lioness with every breath, since she was the last one left for her 3 young kids. She was able to live for quite a few more years, much longer than they ever expected her to. Her last few years were full of inner and outer strength which was spreading around her to anyone she met. I have met quite a few gurus in my life, and without a doubt, Terry was, in her own way, no less than any of them. Thank you for the post, I believe we need more like it.
