Mission Wholeness News Jan-Feb 2011

Creating Wholeness One Family at a Time: January and February 2011

Hello Shaklee Family,

Happy New Year to You! I hope you and yours shared a wonderful holiday! We had the great privilege of traveling to Alaska to spend time with our family over the season; it was great fun, especially with our son Seth Nehemiah who is almost one. Moreover with this New Year comes many resolutions; some want to lose weight, some want to exercise more and live a healthier life style and some like me want to be a better wife and parent. Whatever your resolution we’re here to support you. We want you to succeed in life and here at Mission Wholeness and Shaklee we know that it is important to take care of our bodies so that we can achieve all we aspire to do. Shaklee has healthy solutions to taking care of your family and your home. Start with looking under your sink, what do you have under there? If you like the average American household you probably have an array of toxic chemicals that could potentially lead to serious health issues. Here’s a list of some of the most common:


AIR FRESHENERS: interfere with your ability to smell by releasing nerve-deadening agents or coating nasal passages with an oil film, usually methoxychlor, a pesticide that accumulates in fat cells. Known toxic chemicals found in an air freshener are formaldehyde, a highly toxic, known carcinogen, and phenol. When phenol touches your skin it can cause it to swell, burn, peel, and break out in hives.

ANTIBACTERIAL CLEANERS: may contain triclosan, which is absorbed through the skin and can be tied to liver damage.

BLEACH: is a strong corrosive. It will irritate or burn the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. It may cause pulmonary edema or vomiting and coma if ingested. Never mix bleach with acid toilet bowl cleaners or ammonia. These mixtures may produce fumes which can be DEADLY.

DISHWASHER DETERGENTS: Most products contain chlorine in a dry form that is highly concentrated. The #1 cause of household poisoning is dish detergent. Dishwashing liquids are labeled "harmful if swallowed." Each time you wash your dishes, some residue is left on them, which accumulates with each washing. Your food picks up part of the residue -- especially if your meal is hot when you eat it.

LAUNDRY ROOM PRODUCTS: Laundry detergents contain phosphorus, enzymes, ammonia, naphthalene, phenol, sodium nitilotriacetate and countless other chemicals. These substances can cause rashes, itches, allergies, sinus problems and more. The residue left on your clothes, bed sheets, etc. is absorbed through your skin, as is everything else you touch.

OVEN CLEANER: one of the most toxic products people use. They contain lye and ammonia, which eat the skin, and the fumes linger and affect the respiratory system. Then there ís the residue that ís intensified the next time you turn your oven on.

TOILET BOWL CLEANERS: usually contain hydrochloric acid, a highly corrosive irritant to both skin and eyes that damages kidneys and liver; and hypochlorite bleach, a corrosive irritant that can burn eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Toilet bowl cleaners also may cause pulmonary edema, vomiting or coma if ingested. Contact with other chemicals may cause chlorine fumes which may be fatal.

If you are like most people, you’ve struggled with your weight at one time or another. You’ve been on every fad diet. Initially you lose some weight, but then you gain it back and find yourself heavier than before. This is the dreaded cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Good Food for thought:

· A true leader is one who has mastered his own attitude and empowers others to do the same.

· With childhood obesity at epidemic levels,

remember it is easier for children to control their eating habits if their parents are.

· You are who you are because of the way you see yourself.
