What is Triclosan? Why Triclosan is dangerous to you?

Earlier I have shared with you on why Triclosan shouldn't appear in your toiletries like toothpaste, shampoo and etc when US FDA officially banned it in 2016.

Click here: Say NO to Triclosan

However when I last visited the local stores, I can actually still find toothpaste that contain Triclosan :(.

So please do yourself a favour to check that if you still have this in your toilet.

I am blessed that we have learnt this 10 years ago on the harmful effects of triclosan in our Nutritional Immunology health seminars from Dr.Chen.

Read below for the final rules from the FDA to ban on triclosan in the USA.

Also we are blessed as company will update us on the health updates from time to time, here is another recent news for Triclosan.

RECENT NEWS

Triclosan is an antimicrobial chemical found in thousands of products, such as hand soaps, toothpastes, body washes, kitchen utensils, and even some toys. Researchers found that triclosan could be linked to inflammatory bowel disease and the development of cancer.

Have you heard of Triclosan before?

TRICLOSAN - Have you heard of Triclosan before?

Triclosan is one of the very common anti-bacterial agent used in toiletries like toothpaste, handwash and etc.

It can damage our liver and causing depression worst cancer after it reacting with chlorine in our tap water. Latest research has shown it can cause destroy thyroid function too.

We actually learnt about this harmful ingredients from Dr.Chen many years ago through Live With Dr.Chen. (https://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2016/10/opportunity-to-learn-from-drchen-before.html)

Yet, now US FDA only officially banned it.

Indeed, it's our blessing to get to know the science of Nutritional Immunology & learn the updated knowledge from Dr.Chen 7 years ago. I cant imagine the damage in my body by Triclosan if I didn't know about this and been using for 7 years.

Other than Triclosan, do you know Flouride is actually another neurotoxin.

We are not surprise to see arsenic as neurotoxins, but Fluoride?!

It's something that we need to be concern about. So please check the ingredients label of your toothpaste.

Actually we can choose a safer source instead of using these harmful chemicals.

For healthier option, you can choose a toothpaste with safer ingredients.

I am letting my both gals and of course adults too using Elemente fluoride free toothpaste :)

It's refreshing and safe as does not contain cancer causing agents like SLS and fluoride.

Feel free to contact me if you want to get one for your LO.

Tests Find More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood

U.S. minority infants are born carrying hundreds of chemicals in their bodies, according to a report released today by an environmental group.

The Environmental Working Group's study commissioned five laboratories to examine the umbilical cord blood of 10 babies of African-American, Hispanic and Asian heritage and found more than 200 chemicals in each newborn.

"We know the developing fetus is one of the most vulnerable populations, if not the most vulnerable, to environmental exposure," said Anila Jacobs, EWG senior scientist. "Their organ systems aren't mature and their detox methods are not in place, so cord blood gives us a good picture of exposure during this most vulnerable time of life."

Of particular concern to Jacobs: 21 newly detected contaminants, including the controversial plastics additive bisphenol A, or BPA, which mimics estrogen and has been shown to cause developmental problems and precancerous growth in animals. Last month, researchers reported that male Chinese factory workers exposed to high levels of the chemical experienced erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems.

"BPA is a really important finding because people are really aware about its potential toxicity," Jacobs told reporters. "This is the first study to find BPA in umbilical cord blood, and it correlates with national data on it."

Jacobs said the study focused on minority children to show that chemical exposure is ubiquitous, building on 2005 research on cord blood from 10 anonymous babies. That study found a similar body burden among the babies. This is the first study to look at chemicals in minority newborns.
"Minority groups may have increased exposure to certain chemicals, but here we didn't focus on those chemicals," Jacobs said. "The sample size is too small to see major differences, but we want to increase awareness about chemical exposures."

Leo Trasande, co-director of the Children's Environmental Health Center at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, said the findings, while preliminary, show that minority communities are often disproportionately affected by chemical exposure. Trasande was not involved in the EWG study.
"Presently, minority communities suffer from a host of chronic disorders, and disproportionate chemical exposures may contribute significantly to the origins of the disparities that exist," Trasande said.

Both he and Jacobs said the findings add momentum for the call to revamp the Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA, the law regulating the more than 80,000 chemicals on its database. They released the report on the same day that a Senate panel is scheduled to discuss the government's strategy for managing the tens of thousands of chemicals in the marketplace with an eye toward overhauling TSCA.
TSCA does not require most chemicals to be tested for safety before they are approved for widespread use. Because of this, Trasande said, less than half of the 3,000 high-production volume chemicals on the marketplace have toxicity data, and less than one-fifth have toxicity testing data on the effects on developing organs.

"These results are alarming for their implications of health impacts on children," Trasande said.
Another challenge facing chemical regulators is understanding how the different chemicals interact together, which is particularly significant given the number of chemicals found in people.
"What we're finding are complex mixtures of chemicals that sometimes have similar toxicities," Jacobs said. "There's an increased recognition that mixtures are a problem. ... It's very difficult to evaluate, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. We should also try to decrease the toxicity of individual chemicals."

Another alarming article that reminding us - as a parent - the importance to be a wise consumer - not only to safeguard our own health but also our loved one, our vulnerable baby.

Some people asked me: where does all these chemicals coming from?

Other than those mentioned in the article, it can be from our daily life toiletries like toothpaste, facial wash, shampoo, body wash, body lotion and even cosmetic product like lipstick. All these chemicals will absorb into our body through our skin ya.

So it is important to take note of the carcinogenic agents like SLS, Triclosan in our daily toiletries. 

Recently I have shared the Nutritional Immunology to a pregnant mother who is suffering from severe rashes. She has rashes on her neck, arms and tummy. And it did not help after seeing specialist. She felt helpless as doctor prescribed her anti-biotic and steriod cream in the end, of course according to doctor they are safe for consumption during pregnancy.

But as a wise mother, what do you think?

I am glad I am able to help this mother with NI knowledge.

In fact, rashes is considered as allergy.


Allergy, do u know why allergy happens? It’s because our immune system is mal-function.

Allergy happens when our  immune system is hypersensitive. It will attack those non threatening agents.

So what we need is a balanced immune system. By giving our immune system correct nutrient through wholesome plant food, our immune system will know when to attack and when to stop, what to be attack and what not to be attacked and how to attack.

And also share the tips to be wise consumer with her:

1. product must be wholesome, non-GMO & organic
2. must be certified with AVA cert.
3. both manufacturer and distributor must be the same
4. if chemical product like cosmetic - must ensure the safety for example all raw material must have MSDS, free from SLS, triclosan,

How to choose a skincare product which you can trust?

Your safety should come first in the formulation of skincare and cosmetics. It should take priority over efficacy and packaging. Why is this so?

Because you are likely to use a vast array of personal care and cosmetic products daily.

The morning grooming ritual often includes toothpaste, facial cleanser, hair shampoo, shower gel, body powder, lip balm and sunscreen.

And that is not even including any makeup. Personal care and cosmetic products such as lip balm and lipsticks may be accidentally swallowed. They are absorbed through the skin.

Scientists have found many common cosmetic ingredients in human tissues, and even toxic chemicals in human breast milk.

Heavy metals and asbestos are some of the most common impurities in cosmetics. For example, lead, arsenic, mercury and asbestos have been detected in lipsticks, lip glosses, beauty products and talcum powder (used in baby powder and cosmetic facial powders) respectively.

Exposure to harmful chemicals occurs when babies and young children touch adults' who use skincare and cosmetic products containing harmful chemicals, then put their little fingers into their mouths. They may also accidentally ingest products such as baby powder, shower gels and baby lotions.

See, we use so many different personal care and cosmetic products daily, some of which we absorb through the skin or even accidentally ingest.

Hence it is of paramount importance that they are safe to use. That is why EE company has taken the initiative to uphold the highest safety standards in formulating and manufacturing Elemente products.

Happy to share further on how Elemente skincare & right knowledge on choosing a safe skincare has helped :)

Can talcum powder cause cancer?

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-johnson-johnson-verdict-idUSKCN0VW20A

I believe this could be one of the hottest news in this week.

However, can talcum powder really causing cancer?

I am blessed that I have learned about the myth of talcum powder causing cancer from world renowned Nutritional Immunology Dr. Jau Fei Chen few years ago.

In fact, talc itself is safe, it was the contamination of talc by their neighbour mineral - asbestos.

Other than talc, we learned about triclosan, and even paraben & alcohol through her way before it was highlighted through media.

Feel free to contact me if you like to know more on how to safeguard our loved one from the info overloaded society nowadays.

An incredieble journey for me!!!

It has been almost a year even since I embarked on a totally new journey.

I feel blessed as I am showered with love daily.

I would say it has been an incredible journey and it is something I would never have expected. I never knew that there is so much more I can contribute to the society than just having a 8 to 5 routine job if without my friend who is also my mentor now. So 1^st of all, I must thank Weiwee for sharing this wonderful science and career with me.

During our usual biz gathering held last night, I was touched and blessed as my teammate finally found a solution for her frequently ill child who was admitted to the hospital once when she was seriously ill. She was in tears of gratitude when she shared her journey, and it deeply touched everyone who had attended.

I feel carefree – as I can spend more quality time with my gals. I no longer have to wake up early and rush JY to school every morning now. 

Last week, one of the preschool teachers commented that JY looks much healthier now (in fact the teacher was surprise that Jiaying doesn't has any medical record in school ever since she enrolled in June 2013) and she is no longer the ‘Lin mei mei’ (aka lin dai yu) she used to be. Besides being physically healthy, I am also grateful that she is healthier emotionally. If you were with me 2 months after JY was enrolled in her preschool – my heart sank after seeing her drawings – she would colour the characters black. Unlike then, now her drawings are full of colours!

I am feeling so blessed and fortunate now as I am able to start my day in a healthier way with the nourishment from NI wholesome organic non-gmo food.

What can be more joyful than seeing our much-loved family members regain their health? My husband’s sinus no more, my kids no longer need to consult doctor, my mother no longer need to inject pain killer into her spine for relieving her joint pain.

I feel so blessed as I can finally be assured that the Elemente toiletries series are safe to use and free from carcinogenic agents. 

                      Toothpaste which is free of Triclosan, SLS, flouride, abrassives & bleachers

               Shampoo, shower foam, facial wash which is free of SLS and with pure raw materials

Also series of cosmetic product which is contain skin-friendly raw materials that are safe, pure and non-toxic which do not harm but protect skin. I felt so relieve to use Elemente during pregnancy too.

No more products containing carcinogenic agents such as Tricolsan and SLS which threatens our health.

This incredible journey not only safeguard us internally through food, externally through safe product, also leads me and my hubby towards financial freedom status. What is most important now is that we have a solution for our kids – there’s a solution for them to own their life.

Teaching them the skill to survive is way more important than just spoon feeding them isn’t it.

I feel blessed – my mindset has totally changed.

In the past, there were once I decided not to have any kids, as I wanted to spend more time with my mother as a return for raising us up and I want to provide her as much as I can. With kids, there will definitely be less money and time for her. If I were to stay employed, I can only use my time to exchange for the money, n money never seems to be enough. If I give all to my kids and mother, then what do I have left for myself? My life? 

If my life is only all about study – work and nothing but work – pay bills – pay this n that – then at the end of the day – retire with no money?

What is life? There is no purpose in life!

I am blessed that I had attended the Love and Care camp – a camp which let me ‘restore’ myself and found the meaning in life again.

Now, I'm a proud mummypreneur with my own healthy fast food franchise biz. I'm enjoying health, time and financial freedom. 

Afterall, for the prosperous, it's not about getting more stuff. It's about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want

So what about you? What is your life purpose? You can decide if you want to.
