Anti aging creams – increased risk of cancer

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Anti aging creams have been found to encourage a risk of cancer.

There are so many anti-aging processes available to women and men from Botox to the surgeon’s knife, that anti-aging creams have seemed like a safe alternative.

We all want to look better for longer – how can a simple cream be harmful?

The views of a US professor have been published this week in the tabloids .. he thinks anti-aging creams could be the most dangerous cosmetic products on the market.

At Heathwise we believe in natural, not chemical products.  Even if we are assured that the chemical quantities are so slight that they cannot make a difference, the incremental toxic overload in cosmetic and bodycare products is harmful.

The additional factor is that the environment generally has become more toxic and minor increases in toxins from a multitude of different sources adds up to dangerous quantities.

Far better to use a natural product to enhance beauty like Beauty Balm.  The skin will not be stripped, and the product is certified by the Soil Association.. so it is good for the planet, too.

Successful talk at Healthwise

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

January the 26th saw the first day of the Chinese New Year of the Ox and so we celebrated it at Healthwise with an evening of improving your health by eliminating toxins from your day to day life. The talk was called ‘As Nature Intended: Free of Toxins’  We had a great turn out and we’ve had lots of feedback to say how much people enjoyed it and asking for more talks :)
The talk discussed the 5 key areas in which toxins exist, often without us knowing about them and how they affect our health. The 5 areas are: Medication, Cosmetics (shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste etc), Plastic and Packaging (food ware, water bottles), Food and Water and Environmental contributions.
I am in the process of writing an e-book about this subject which will be available to buy on this site very soon. If you have any specific questions regarding this information please post them here and I will reply to you.
Thank you to all that attended and we hope to see you at the next talk in March which will be called ‘Natures diet – a healthy way to eat’ and will look at the optimum way to eat to prevent disease and live a healthy long life.

best wishes for the year of the Ox
