Operation Share the Health
Our mission is to empower the public consumers with information of the harmful effects of many everyday products. These products causes life threatening diseases that the general public have the right to know are being consumed. Visit us at www.rjfoundation.org
(PRWEB) December 6, 2004 -- R & J Foundation was formed in 1995, and it
is a 501-C (3) non-profit community service organization. Our mission is to
empower the public with Public Awareness information of the harmful effects of
many everyday products. Sharing with the general public what option they have in
selecting toxic-free products.
These are products that will help rebuild
our health without the use of prescription drugs that has so many side effects
that can kill. Chemical poisons in cosmetics, personal care, and household
products are affecting you and your children more than you may
know.
According to the Poison Control Center in their most recent
published report (1999)51, there are more than two million, two hundred thousand
reported cases of exposure to poisonous substances annually. In this report,
household cleaning substances are the number one source, responsible for more
than 217,400 cases of exposure each year. Analgesics, primarily acetaminophen,
are number two.
The number three source is personal care products, which
include cosmetics, at more than 205,200 exposures. Household and personal care
products together are responsible for more than five times the number reported
from pesticides.
For Children under the age of 6 years, the number one
source of exposure is personal care products, including cosmetics (153,057), and
the number two source is household cleaning substances (123,575).
The
Poison Control Center’s 1999 report also detailed which types of products cause
the most problems. Here are just some of them detailed in the personal care
category: Perfume, cologne, aftershave (23,342) Toothpaste with fluoride
(21,678) Nail products except polish (19,731) Nail polish (10,422) Creams,
lotions, makeup (19,519) Soaps (16,631) Mouthwash (alcohol) (12,934) Deodorants
(10,330) Suntan/sunscreens (8,330) Bath oil, bubble bath (8,260) Shampoos
(8,136) Powders with talc (4,429) Lipstick, lip balms (3,395)
Most men,
women and children are exposed to at least half of these products every single
day. Are you surprised that perfume, toothpaste, nail polish, creams, sunscreens
and many other items, could really be TOXIC – actually, the word
poisonous?
“The word nontoxic appears on many consumer products, but is
misleading. According to the federal regulatory definition, nontoxic doesn’t
necessarily mean “not at all toxic” or “absolutely safe”, but can mean, for
example, that up to half of the laboratory animals exposed to the product
through ingestion or inhalation died within two weeks. A product can also be
called nontoxic if no serious (immediate) damage occurred through eye or skin
contact. These tests reflect only short-term health effects that may be
associated with the product. Long-term or chronic effects are not
considered.”

Remember!
Our bodies are designed without flaw to heal itself and the only way that it
begins to slow down and not perform the healing process correctly is due to
weaken immune system. The immune system will begin to get weakened by the
environmental pollution and the product usage that has chemicals that are
harmful, but allowed to be manufactured into almost every product that we
buy.
Everyone knows that when the immune system is overworked and
weakened then it is fertile territory for any ailment, disease or death to take
over.
R & J Foundation, will plan these ongoing workshop to promote
our mission. We will work with government agencies and community leaders to get
our message promoted. We are planning to help promote awareness of toxic
chemicals in every day consumer products nationwide. Visit us at www.rjfoundation.org
