Crystal
Body Deodorant
Over the years, eight different ingredients commonly
found in deodorant products have been banned because they posed a health
hazard to users. Today, most still contain numerous questionable chemicals,
including aluminum chlorohydrate, a substance that may be implicated in
the development of breast cancer. Crystal Body Deodorant, is not only
ranked #1 for safety by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, but we have found
it to be MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE than the chemical deodorants we used before!

"Beating
Rosacea: Vascular, Ocular and Acne Forms"
by Dr. Geoffrey Nase, Rosacea Research
Specialist. This book was extremely helpful in helping me figure
out how to control my rosacea. I had tried all sorts of prescription
treatments and expensive skin care products, but my skin just
got worse! After I tried some of the simple suggestions in this
book and switched to a carefully selected, inexpensive cleanser
and moisturizer for sensitive skin it cleared right up ... I
was amazed!

Food
News Report Card: Pesticides in Produce
Adjusting your eating habits can lower your
intake of pesticides—sometimes dramatically so. When organic
is not available, eat fruits and vegetables with consistently low
pesticide loads. The Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce ranks
pesticide contamination for 46 popular fruits and vegetables based
on an analysis of over 100,000 tests for pesticides on these foods,
conducted from 1992 - 2001 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture
and the Food and Drug Administration. National
Rosacea Society
Rosacea is a common but little-known disorder
of the facial skin that affects an estimated 14 million Americans
-- and most of them don't know it. In fact, while rosacea is becoming
increasingly widespread as the baby boom generation enters the most
susceptible ages, a Gallup survey found that 78 percent of Americans
have no knowledge of this condition, including how to recognize it
and what to do about it. Common symptoms includ redness on the cheeks,
nose, chin or forehead; small visible blood vessels on the face;
adult acne; and watery or irritated eyes.

in Environmental Medicine, Pediatrics and Allergies and is a recognized
