Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee was a man ahead of his times. Listen below as he shares the philosophy that is the foundation for the Shaklee mission to make people and the planet healthier.  He spoke these words in 1971, but as he states, his commitment to protect our environment started 60 to 65 years prior.

Unless you live in a bubble, it's virtually impossible, to protect ourselves and our children from exposure to all the toxic chemicals in our environment; but there are things you can do to reduce exposure in the food you eat, in the household and personal care products you use and more.  Below is a video that I recently discovered on this subject, appropriately entitled "Unacceptable Levels" along with two more brief videos about toxins in our environment and a "Simple Solution" I've been using for almost 25 years to help reduce chemicals and create a healthy home.

It's always been a gut instinct thing with me that  people are doing themselves a disservice by constantly reaching for antibacterial soaps, lotions and sprays in an effort to stay healthy and protect themselves from germs.   (One church I attended installed antibacterial lotion dispensers next to the holy water fonts at entrances.)

Just as the overuse of antibiotics taken internally has contributed to the creation of more antibiotic resistant bacteria, the overuse of topical antibiotics seems to be doing the same thing when it comes to skin infections.  A recent article  entitled Skin Probiotics Offer Best Defense Against MRSA Infections discusses how  healthy skin bacteria serve as defense mechanisms against infection.   The use of topical  antibacterial products are disrupting the probiotics in our skin, making us more susceptible to skin infections including MRSA, which unfortunately seems to have become far too common.

We will never be able to kill every germ and that's really not the key to good health anyway.  Being able to resist infection and disease starts with having a healthy immune system and you get that by adopting a healthy holistic lifestyle.

 The gentle, effective product that I use to "wash" the germs away is Shaklee's Hand Wash Concentrate.  It's super concentrated so a little goes a long way and it's perfect as a body wash too.  It contains wheat germ oil, algae extract, aloe rosemary, arnica and more  Since it doesn't contain soap, there's no soap scum residue so your tub or shower,  stays cleaner too!
