Since March is autoimmune disease awareness month, I thought it would be a good idea to give you more information about how autoimmune disease is developed and exacerbated. Today I talk about 3 environmental factors that you can be working on now to help protect yourself from autoimmune and even cancer.    I tell you small changes you can make with your cosmetics & skincare products, your water, and plastic storage containers.    Here is the list of the TOP MOST TOXIC ingredients to look for in your cosmetics: Benzalkonium Chloride A disinfectant used as a preservative and surfactant associated with severe skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and allergies. Found in: sunscreens, moisturizers. Butylatedhydroxy Anisole and Butylated Hydroxytoluene Synthetic antioxidants used to extend shelf life. They are likely carcinogens and hormone disruptors and may cause liver damage. Found in: lipsticks, moisturizers, diaper creams, and other cosmetics. Coal tar hair dyes and other coal tar ingredients A byproduct of coal processing that is a known carcinogen. It is used as a colorant and an anti-dandruff agent. Found in: hair dye, shampoo. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) A chelating (binding) agent added to cosmetics to improve stability. May be toxic to organs. Found in: hair color, moisturizers. Ethanolamines (MEA/DEA/TEA) Surfactants and pH adjuster linked to allergies, skin toxicity, hormone disruption, and inhibited fetal brain development. Found in: hair dyes, mascara, foundation, fragrances, sunscreens, dry cleaning solvents, paint, pharmaceuticals. Formaldehyde Used as a preservative in cosmetics. A known carcinogen that is also linked to asthma, neurotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. Present where quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3 diol (Bronopol), and several other preservatives are listed. Found in: shampoo, body wash, bubble bath. Hydroquinone A skin-lightening chemical that inhibits the production of melanin and is linked to cancer, organ toxicity, and skin irritation. Found in: skin-lightening creams. Methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone Chemical preservatives that are among the most common irritants, sensitizers, and causes of contact skin allergies. Found in: shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Oxybenzone Sunscreen agent and ultraviolet light absorber linked to irritation, sensitization and allergies, and possible hormone disruption. Found in: sunscreen, moisturizer. Parabens (methyl-, isobutyl-, propyl- and others) A class of preservatives commonly used to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. Parabens are endocrine (or hormone) disruptors, which may alter important hormone mechanisms in our bodies. Found in: shampoo, face cleanser, body wash, body lotion, foundation. Phthalates (DBP, DEHP, DEP and others) A class of plasticizing chemicals used to make products more pliable or to make fragrances stick to skin. Phthalates disrupt the endocrine system and may cause birth defects. Found in: synthetic fragrance, nail polish, hairspray, and plastic materials. Polyethylene glycol (PEG compounds) PEGs are widely used in cosmetics as thickeners, solvents, softeners, and moisture-carriers. Depending on manufacturing processes, PEGs may be contaminated with measurable amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, which are both carcinogens. Found in: creams, sunscreen, shampoo. Retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate) Retinyl palmitate is an ingredient composed of palmitic acid and retinol (Vitamin A). Data from an FDA study indicate that retinyl palmitate, when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may result in adverse health consequences like lesions and photosensitization. FDA, Norwegian and German health agencies have raised a concern that daily skin application of vitamin A creams may contribute to excessive vitamin A intake for pregnant women and other populations. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS and SLES) SLS and SLES are surfactants that can cause skin irritation or trigger allergies. SLES is often contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a byproduct of a petrochemical process called ethoxylation, which is used to process other chemicals in order to make them less harsh. Found in: shampoo, body wash, bubble bath. Synthetic flavor or fragrance An engineered scent or flavoring agent that may contain any combination of 3,000-plus stock chemical ingredients, including hormone disruptors and allergens. Fragrance formulas are protected under federal law's classification of trade secrets and therefore can remain undisclosed. Found in: all types of cosmetics. Toluene A volatile petrochemical solvent that is toxic to the immune system and can cause birth defects. Found in: nail polish. Triclosan and Triclocarban Antimicrobial pesticides toxic to the aquatic environment; may also impact human reproductive systems. Found in: liquid soap, soap bars, toothpaste.   **This information came from the Beautycounter website.   Recycling codes to avoid when using plastics: 3, 6, 7       Join my FREE FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/balancedfitfreelife  Instagram: @ramfitlife  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ramfitnessforwomen  Website: www.raeannemullins.com

Great skin doesn't happen by chance Modern-day lifestyle shifts have undermined this ecosystem, making it less diverse and leaving us more susceptible to many challenges including sensitivity, irritation and other skin problems.To reverse this, we need to embrace the skin for the living ecosystem it is and help it reconnect with the balanced state that it once had. This is why it's my  mission to create products that enhance and protect the biorhythms of the dermis and the skin biome. I believe restoring and maintaining is the answer to healthy skin and a great first step to a healthier aging.It's also critical to understand the core needs of the skin and the most efficient path of delivery - so starting at the very top layer of the skin -Were going to discuss how to improve hydration by providing it with lipids.Basically, lipids help strengthen the skin's protective barrier which helps it retain moisture and keep out impurities. Lipids also play an important role in protecting skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage that can lead to premature ageing.  SEED OILS AND BARRIER REPAIR 101It may not look like it on the surface, but your skin is constantly hard at work; the toughest job, though, is of the uppermost layer, the skin barrier. Much like a security guard for your skin, the barrier is there to stop potential problems passing through and to protect what lies within - and it's the weakness of this shield that is the underlying cause of aging and sensitive skin. A thin, weak or damaged skin barrier allows irritants in, deepens fine lines and small micro-tears, so building up this surface layer is key to reducing degradation- long term.Here's Some Quick Facts on Your Skin's MakeupThe stratum corneum is the outermost part of our epidermisIt's a vital front-line, protecting us against the perils of the environmentYour skin barrier weakens with age. We're born with a body composed of 75% water, and we dry up as we get older. 50% of your cell membranes are made up of fats or lipidsThis outermost layer consists of dead skin cells called corneocytes.These corneocytes are embedded in a lipid mixture consisting of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids. So NET NET:   A lack of oils results in dry, unbalanced, dull looking skin.Imagine the image of a dehydrated raisin versus a plump grape 1. GO BACK TO BASICSKeep it simple for effective, nurturing skincare. Take a long, hard look at your beauty practices –and products by pairing your routine.Get rid of products with astringents, like alcohol and witch hazel. And avoid foaming cleansers, which leach away our Natural Moisturising Factor.The number of clients I see that have a rise in sensitivities is growing so I created a scent free and surfactant free cleanser brimming full of omegas, skin-brightening vitamin C-esters, healing plant hydrosols, and botanicals to help gently purify the skin and stimulate cellular turnover to deliver brighter skin+Evoq Gentle Cleanser 2. NO HARSH MECHANICAL SCRUBSI recommend cutting right back on physical exfoliation – so many women are using brushes and cleansing cloths too harsh for their skin-type and developing problems as a consequence.  In addition, be aware that as you age, the skin's regenerative production decreases, so over use of retinol and harsh procedures do more harm than good long term.I figured I would support women in their multi tasking abilities with our sea pearl cleansing mask which has Exfoliating Pearls to Renew skin clarity by gently lifting and removing stagnant skin cells.Then following up with Laminaria + Spirulina which Strengthens connective tissue while hydrating with Omega-3 Fatty Acids and amino acids to help reduce dark spots and soothe inflamed skin conditions.+ Evoq Sea Pearl 3 in 1 Exfoliation3. SHOP FOR THE RIGHT INGREDIENTSAs always with aging or sensitive skin issues, reading the labels of your products is a must to make sure you're getting the building blocks you need. All Evoq moisturizers include cold pressed oils and Vitamin C Ester, which is a biomimetic liposome to help boost collagen and  ceramide production, thereby improving lipid barrier function. .This is key  because we can't manufacture essential fatty acids ourselves, so we must obtain it through diet or topical application. PRO Collagen Firming Creme 4. MIND YOUR PHDetergents (eg. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) are my biggest no-no.  They strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving the barrier dry, exposed and susceptible to irritation. They also have an alkalising effect on the skin, throwing off pH balance and disrupting the skin's natural processes. “Active” acids, like salicylic acid for example, should also be avoided because they  remove the top layers of skin.Evoq Enliven Sea Mist Toner - Encompasses Purified Sea Water which Immediately infuses skin with essential minerals and trace elements that provide soft, glowing, and healthy skin5. KEEP IT COOLCleanse with tepid water and don't put your face under the shower - hot water will only strip the skin, just like it does to your hair.6. BE FREE FROM RADICALSIt's not just about building the barrier up - you also need the ingredients that will minimize any incoming stressors to look after it in the long run. Protecting against free radical damage can help maintain a strong skin barrier, so at Evoq, I've studied with the leading experts on how to energize certain antioxidants to 10x their effects which you can find in the Evoq Ultra Hydrating Oil.Evoq Ultra Hydrating Antioxidant OilTOP SHELF SOLUTION: ULTRA HYDRATING ANTIOXIDANT OILOur clinically studied complex brings advanced free radical squelching abilities with enzymatic help to prevent and repair damage to DNA and proteins (like collagen and elastin), allowing skin cells to live a longer, healthier, more beautiful life. I've addressed both intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors with THIS Matchmaker oil. By using biomimetic cold-pressed oils, your skin is infused with vital vitamins, nutrients, and fatty acids that act both as protectants from extrinsic aging but also work to slow down and prevent intrinsic aging factors by stimulating collagen production and rehydrating skin.7. STRESS-LESSBuilding up your barrier is not as simple as using the right skincare; think of it in the same way as you do your immune system - you need to feed its strength from all angles, mentally and physically. Your skin is your biggest organ and needs to be looked after from the inside and out.AS WITHIN - SO WITHOUT…. Stress is proven to slow down the skin healing process, including skin barrier recovery. So, daily stress or poor stress management can leave the skin barrier in a permanently weakened state and accelerated aging. 8. SUPPLEMENT YOUR DIETEssential fatty acids or omegas are essential as a supplement.  They're anti-inflammatory and help calm the skin or soothe aggravating conditions from the inside out. Odds are most people are abundant in omega 6 which can actually be pro inflammatory so you want to look for a 3 to 1 ratio of omega 3.Omega fatty acids also help prevent water loss that can lead to irritation and discomfort. I take an oil form straight from the spoon, and always store mine in the fridge to keep it at its best. EFAs are very fragile and prone to oxidizing.9. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EATThe healthier you are generally, the better your skin will be.Tying into supplementation - eating omega-rich foods such as cold-water fish, flaxseed and walnuts will eventually find their way to the surface of the skin. It's about making every cell in the body as healthy as possible. 10. WEAR SUNSCREEN90 percent of aging is from uv damage - therefore one of the easiest ways to protect your skin's barrier is by wearing a daily SPF - but just like the rest of your skincare, it should be full of those antioxidants too so that as well as defending your skin against the sun's damaging rays, it also adds protection from other environmental stressors.Not only did I formulate the Evoq Day Lite UV protect SPF tinted moisturizer  with antioxidants,  I also included an active form of Vitamin D, which is a needed cofactor hormone for health and immunity++Evoq Day Lite UV PrimerIn conclusion :SET HEALTHY [SKIN] BARRIERS We now know that Free radicals accelerate the aging process and we encounter them everyday through sun exposure, air pollution, and stress. By feeding skin essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and other skin-supportive nutrients, you prevent and repair free radical damage, so your skin stays firm, smooth, and bright. Therefore I highly suggest internal health supplementation and the antioxidant topical ultra Hydrating oil to negate the inevitable  Dehydration due to a slowly degrading lipid layer and outer aggressors that  accentuate aging signs of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

Ep. 297: Is There a Connection Between Allergies & Baby Wipes? In this episode, Stacy and Sarah have read an article that baby wipes are not safe! Oh no! Click here to listen in iTunes   If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 297: Is There a Connection Between Allergies & Baby Wipes? Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:40) Sarah is excited about Paleo f(x) and got her presentation done early (unlike last year!). She has been digging into a lot of new information and material. Her presentation will be live streamed for FREE Sunday afternoon! Speaking of interesting science articles... Stacy tipped Sarah off to a new journal article, which is the basis of today's show! Science with Sarah (6:57) An exciting study was published a couple weeks ago in the Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology. In this study they developed a new animal model of childhood allergy development. A child's immune system is quite different than an older person's. Children have more allergies than adults, and can also grow out of them. Children have immune tolerance- where the immune system has learned something is bad, but has decided not to react to it. This study will help researchers to look at what is going on at a molecular level. It may help to know which foods to introduce at which age. An aside: this study was an animal study performed on mice. Sarah was a researcher who used to perform studies on animals. She wants to assure you that the utmost care is taken of these animals in regard to their welfare. In the US and Canada and in higher education settings the standards are very high. Animal welfare is very important to Stacy. It is worthwhile when talking about science and the benefit of human health. There has been a giant increase in childhood allergies in the last 20-25 years. Many chronic disease rates have gone up. Our lifestyles have completely changed over time, and even since just the 1950s. We're eating lower quality food, more sedentary, getting less sleep, working more, etc. Incidence of childhood allergies really spiked in the 1990s. Other chronic disease has been a slow rise, where allergies was a sharper increase. Could it be... baby wipes?! The health of her children is one of the things that brought Stacy to Paleo. She was the ultimate crunchy mom! Cloth diapers and everything! It's crazy to think of all the major food and lifestyle changes they made over the 8+ years of being Paleo, and that something like baby wipes was correlated to such major health issues. The study used mice with the same genetic mutations that predisposes humans to eczema. Many people have these genetic variants, they are quite common. Mice were exposed to an allergen on the skin, and then their skin was wiped with some of the same chemicals that are often found in baby wipes, like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. These chemicals make the skin more leaky. What is different with baby wipes vs. using soap is the rinsing factor. Bacteria and viruses get washed away with the water. The baby wipe is relying on the chemicals for the antimicrobial action. And those chemicals are sitting on the skin where they can erode the integrity of the skin barrier. In the study, mice developed eczema and also anaphylaxis to the allergen they were also exposed to. In the last 20-25 years disposable wipes have become the standard, even among people who use cloth diapers. All the peanut allergy studies and recommendations on when to introduce them have been done without the context of this other environmental factor that is influencing the immune system. Recommendations that came out of this paper were things like: If you're going to use baby wipes, rinse the skin afterwards. Think about allergens on your own skin as you are handling your baby. For example, if you make a peanut butter sandwich for your older child, make sure you wash your hands, and the older child washes their face and hands before handling the baby. Rinsing is key: think of it as you are putting soap on the skin with a cloth. You wouldn't put a pump of hand soap on your skin and just leave it there. Check the ingredients in your baby wipes and soap on the EWG website. Sensitive skin wipes tend to have less chemicals in them. More "natural" brands also tend to have less chemicals, but always check the label. If allergies, eczema, or autoimmune disease is in your family, it is worthwhile to go the extra step and seek out wipes and products without those ingredients in them. Also consider the earth and seek out something compostable or more earth-friendly. If you're using baby wipes to take your makeup off, you might want to find an alternative. Stacy uses the makeup remover wipes from Beautycounter. Stacy and the boys all have very sensitive skin. Consider keeping a spray bottle and cloths at the diaper changing station, and once the bum is clean, rinse and wipe with cloth- you don't have to take the baby to the bath every time. Take a deep breath and let go of your mommy guilt. Nobody knew, and having guilt doesn't produce different results. Work on a change going forward and share the information. Sarah hopes to see you all at Paleo F(x)! If you've enjoyed the show, please recommend it to someone who might enjoy it. We love when you share and when you leave reviews for us!

CommunityChiropractic.net drmaj.com   toxins, toxins, everywhere……………………………… Presented to: The Royal Chiropractic Knights Of The Round Table By: Dr. Diane Feils Last fall, I was at a Beauty Counter party at my daughter in law’s house. I knew the make-up and body products sold were supposed to be safer for human use than many of the products on the market today, but learned that the United States has not passed a major federal law to regulate the safety of ingredients used in personal care products since 1938. I found that stunning. I was aware of the fact that many chemicals were used in our hair and body products, but not really sure what they all were. It reminded me of the awareness I had at a Norwex party several years ago concerning the toxic cleaning products, as well as the knowledge I have learned when talking to people that use essential oils. With all of that said, I am not here to sign you up for a home party or ask you to be a distributer. I learned that there are over 80,000 chemicals on the market today, and many don’t have safety data. Manufacturers are allowed to use their best judgment as to what is ok to use. Compared to other countries, the US has only banned a slight percentage of those available for use, by comparison. Because we have the FDA, EPA, and CPSC (consumer product safety commission) we, as consumers, are under the false impression that someone is watching out for us…. but quite the contrary is true. The Beauty Counter products have a list called The Never List…. a list of certain chemicals that are never used in their products. These chemicals consist of solvents, disinfectants, surfactants, preservatives, plasticizing agents, softeners, moisture carriers, pesticides, as well as other unknown ingredients. The addition of the chemicals cause side effects ranging from cancer to minor skin irritations; endocrine imbalances, allergies, fertility issues, birth defects, neurotoxicity and developmental toxicity. Some damage DNA and accelerate the growth of skin tumors. The most astonishing ingredients are those called fragrances. Fragrance formulas are protected under federal law’s classification of trade secrets and they can remain undisclosed. (I wonder if that is how Secret antiperspirant got its name) So, with this realization, I searched out other toxic chemicals known to be a problem, and learned about the Fire Retardant Law for children’s pajamas in mid 1973 put in place by Gov. Jerry Brown. A chemical called TRIS phosphate was used on the fabric of the pajamas for children age 6 and under to resist the incidence of sudden igniting of the fabric in the case of a fire. This was soon questioned as to the safety and two scientists, Arlene Blum and Bruce Ames, performed an experiment exposing bacteria to TRIS. It was discovered that the DNA of the bacteria was mutated, naming the chemical a carcinogen. The test was called the Ames Test. With this realization, The National Cancer Institute banned the chemical instantly for use on children’s clothing. However, the clothing manufacturers sued the government because they had their entire stock of unsellable products on hand. The ban was overturned, but they started using chlorinated TRIS. It was really just as dangerous. The manufacturers decided ultimately to stop using both chemicals. It was 20 years later when the furniture industry in California decided that house fires could be reduced if fire retardants were sprayed on the furniture fabrics and the polyurethane foam in cushions. Arlene Blum was contacted to get her opinion of using Tris again on the furniture. Finding out the danger, chemicals called PBDE’s (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) were used. Technical Bullitin117 was issued by Gov. Jerry Brown of California as required use in all furniture manufacturing. Since the California furniture marketplace was so large, it became the nation’s Fire Safety standard. Unfortunately, baby products were categorized under the classification of furniture. This allowed the chemicals to be put in products such as cribs and mattresses, car seats, high chairs, changing tables, strollers, bathtubs, nursing pillows and rockers. It was also found that the chemicals flaked off into dust, from furniture cushions and children were exposed to the particulate matter floating around the house, on the floor and toys. Much of this furniture is still in use today…a never-ending source of particulate matter continuing to expose individuals now. Obviously, the concern of exposure with infants and young children was the effect on fetal and early brain development, and the effects of thyroid hormone mimicking action of the PBDE’s causing other conditions such as infertility and hyperthyroidism. Researchers revealed that these exposures also were also associated with neurodevelopmental delays such as decreased attention; fine motor coordination and cognition in school-aged children. Flame retardants on furniture were tested, and found to not be as effective as intended. The chemicals put into the foam doesn’t work, as the flame is never actually put to the foam, but the fabric covering. Once that cover is on fire, the chemical is overcome and the rate of burning is not reduced. They did conclude that the amount of toxic carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide gas released into the air from the burning chemicals during a house fire is the leading cause of death rather than burns. The chemical industry is a 4 billion dollar per year industry. Here’s a story: In California, lawmakers heard a case in which a 7 week old baby was burned and died 3 weeks later following a fire caused a pillow on which a baby was sleeping started on fire. The testimony was meant to keep the retardant laws in place. As it turned out the story was a complete hoax and the Dr. who was a burn specialist was also found to be the star witness for the flame retardant manufacturers. He was part of a decade long campaign of deception by the chemical industry loading American homes with pounds of toxic chemicals causing the above listed health issues. Ethics and integrity go by the wayside when there is money to be made. So, speaking of Flame Retardants, I became aware of another; BVO Brominated vegetable oilis a complex mixture of plant-derived triglycerides that have been reacted to contain atoms of the element bromine bonded to the molecules. Brominated vegetable oil is used primarily to help emulsify citrus- flavored soft drinks, preventing them from separating during distribution. Brominated vegetable oil has been used by the soft drink industry since 1931, generally at a level of about 8 ppm. Careful control of the type of oil used allows bromination of it to produce BVO with a specific density (1.33 g/mL). As a result, it can be mixed with less-dense flavoring agents such as citrus flavor oil to produce a resulting oil whose density matches that of water or other products. The droplets containing BVO remain suspended in the water rather than separating and floating at the surface. [2] Alternative food additives used for the same purpose include sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB, E444) and glycerol ester of wood rosin (ester gum, E445). United States In the United States, BVO was designated in 1958, as generally recognized as safe (GRAS), but this was withdrawn by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1970. The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations currently imposes restrictions on the use of BVO as a food additive in the United States, limiting the concentration to 15 ppm, limiting the amount of free fatty acids to 2.5 percent, and limiting the iodine value to 16 BVO is used in Mountain Dew, manufactured by PepsiCo; Powerade, Fanta Orange and Fresca made by Coca-Cola; and Squirt, Sun Drop and Sunkist Peach Soda, made by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Numerous generic citrus sodas also use it, including "Clover Valley"/Dollar General sodas and Stars & Stripe On May 5, 2014, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo said they will remove BVO from their products BVO is one of four substances that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has defined as interim food additives the other three are acrylonitrilecopolymers, mannitol, and saccharin. Canada BVO is currently permitted as a food additive in Canada Europe In the European Union, BVO is banned from use as a food additive. In the EU, beverage companies commonly use glycerol ester of wood rosin or locust bean gum as an alternative to BVO. India Standards for soft drinks in India have prohibited the use of BVO since 1990. Japan The use of BVO as a food additive has been banned in Japan since 2010.  (This source leads to a study done about the concentration levels of BVO in North Americans, and requires more context.) Health effects of BVO The United States Food and Drug Administration considers BVO to be safe for use as a food additive. However, there are case reports of adverse effects associated with excessive consumption of BVO-containing products. One case reported that a man who consumed two to four liters of a soda containing BVO on a daily basis experienced memory loss, tremors, fatigue, loss of muscle coordination, headache, and ptosis of the right eyelid, as well as elevated serum chloride. In the two months it took to correctly diagnose the problem, the patient also lost the ability to walk. Eventually, bromism was diagnosed and hemodialysis was prescribed which resulted in a reversal of the disorder An online petition at Change.org asking PepsiCo to stop adding BVO to Gatorade and other products collected over 200,000 signatures by January 2013. The petition pointed out that since Gatorade is sold in countries where BVO is not approved, there is already an existing formulation without this ingredient. PepsiCo announced in January 2013, that it would no longer use BVO in Gatorade, and announced May 5, 2014 that it would discontinue use in all of its drinks, including Mountain Dew, however, as of July 5th, 2017 BVO is still an ingredient in Mountain Dew, Sun Drop, and AMP Energy Drinks. Again, huge corporations are more concerned by the almighty dollar instead of consumer safety. How many questionable medical conditions could be caused by a similar situation? Patients usually don’t reveal over-consumption of certain foods and drinks, because they know it’s unhealthy and don’t want to be told to discontinue it. In many cases a patient could be given an inaccurate neurological diagnosis, and medicated for it, when the culprit is excessive consumption of a government- regulated toxin. I remember a child in our Onalaska neighborhood that became unable to walk for weeks. Her parents had her to local doctors as well as Mayo Clinic. It was a DC who specialized in Neuro Response Testing that discovered it was her blanket that was making her sick. Most likely, the polyester or the flame-retardants on it were the cause. The Mayo Clinic told the parents, that they couldn’t give a definitive diagnosis and “this is just how your child will live out the rest of her life.” Gee, polyester……….so popular once…. is now back, and it’s everywhere. That took me to another thought process. I searched toxic fabrics. Not that long ago, people stuck to the natural fibers: wool, cashmere, cotton, silk, linen, and hemp. But if you take a look at your clothing labels today, you are likely to find materials like rayon, polyester, acrylic, acetate and nylon. And your shirts and slacks may be treated to be wrinkle-free or stain resistant. These technological advances in fabrics may make our lives simpler, but at what cost? Here's ashort list of fabrics to avoid, and the healthy ones to pick instead. Polyester is the worst fabric you can buy. It is made from synthetic polymers that are made from esters of dihydric alcohol and terpthalic acid. Acrylic fabrics are polycrylonitriles and may cause cancer, according to the EPA. Rayon is recycled wood pulp that must be treated with chemicals like caustic soda, ammonia, acetone and sulphuric acid to survive regular washing and wearing. Acetate and Triacetate are made from wood fibers called cellulose and undergo extensive chemical processing to produce the finished product. Nylon is made from petroleum and is often given a permanent chemical finish that can be harmful. Anything static resistant, stain resistant, permanent press, wrinkle-free, stain proof or moth repellant. Many of the stain resistant and wrinkle-free fabrics are treated with perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), like Teflon. Keep in mind that many fabrics (including natural fibers) undergo significant processing that often involves:  Detergents  Petrochemical dyes  Formaldehyde to prevent shrinkage  Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)  Dioxin-producing bleach  Chemical fabric softeners These additives are often toxic to the human body, may contain heavy metals and can pollute our environment. If you are chemically sensitive or just want to surround yourself with healthy fabrics, there are new options. Doris Brunza, a fashion designer who worked in the Garment District in New York City for 20 years, knows about finding fabrics that don't cause reactions, because she is chemically sensitive. She points out that nearly ALL fabrics, including organic fabric, are treated with chemicals at some point during their processing. Still, some choices are better than others. In general, look for natural fibers like cotton, silk, linen, hemp, wool and cashmere. If you can, purchase and wear organic fabrics and organic clothing. While they still might be processed to some extent, they are often a better choice than synthetics. Brunza also advises people to buy high quality European garments made with the finest fabrics. Expensive clothing may seem overpriced, but the quality of the raw materials is superior, and the fibers can be woven into beautiful fabrics that are soft and strong, requiring little chemical processing to make them suitable for you, the consumer. They also last you for years so are a wise purchase in the long run. Remember to avoid chemical dry-cleaning whenever possible and wash your clothes in a "green"detergent. So, in closing you need to be your own advocate when it comes to toxic exposure. Choosing organic food, pure water, safe body care products, natural or organic clothing and textiles in your home can work together to enhance your wellbeing and help you live a healthier life. Reducing your toxic load may sometimes seem like an overwhelming task, but just like any other change, make it step by step. Over time, you'll see improvement in your own life and in the world around you. Change in the world begins with you making simple changes in your own life.

Can you produce ketone bodies and store boy fat simultaneously? Hi Jimmy and Doc Nally! I love your podcast and have read your books! I've been keto since January 2016 and IF regularly with some longer fasts, so I'm definitely fat adapted. I eat PLENTY of fat and I love it! I have a question today about glycogen stores and corresponding ketone readings. From what I understand, if I overdo it and eat too many carbs or too much protein or both, my glycogen stores will eventually fill up and then the leftover glucose from the meal will be converted to fat for storage. I'm wondering if filling my glycogen stores to the point of fat storage will knock me out of ketosis? In other words, as long as I'm registering a reading within the nutritional ketosis range of 0.5-3.0 mmol on my blood ketone meter, is it safe to assume that I didn't load up my glycogen stores to the point of fat storage? Is it even physiologically possible to both burn fat for fuel and producing ketones while also storing fat at the same time? Thanks so much for all that you do, and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Rachel JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS   – STUDY: The cholesterol and calorie hypotheses are both dead — it is time to focus on the real culprit: insulin resistance 1. Is there something about the ketogenic diet that causes vivid dreams that lead to nightmares? Dear Jimmy and The Doc, Reading Keto Clarity last year made me realize that the keto life is the key to life, so thank you! I have question I’d love your help with that I haven’t seen a good answer to anywhere online. Do you experience what I’ll describe as “keto dreams?” Some people have shared that since eating a low-carb, ketogenic diet, they struggle more with nightmares. I had stress-induced insomnia for 10 years prior to going keto, but now that I’m sleeping better my sleep is plagued by extremely vivid dreams that oftentimes lead to nightmares. Am I suffering from some sort of deficiency in my diet for this to be happening now? Or is my body just working through the stress of bad sleep for more than a decade? Thank you very much for your help, Jezabel 2. Is chicken fat and bacon a worse meat option while eating keto because of their polyunsaturated fat content? Or does it even matter? Hi Jimmy and the Doc, I've been eating low-carb, ketogenic since December 2014. I check my blood glucose and blood ketones daily. One of the pleasures of eating keto is I get to enjoy cooking and eating real foods like pasture raised chicken and making bone broth. However, I do have a concern about the chicken fat containing linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). I learned more about these reading The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz where she describes PUFAs as obesegenic because they store more fat in a low insulin environment while increasing insulin resistance outside the fat cells. Even Dr. Nally’s beloved bacon contains large amounts of these PUFAs as well. Did that wake you up Doc? Beef fat, lamb fat, and butter are all low in PUFAs. So my question for you guys is this: Does the choice of meat type with better fat profiles when you are eating low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat matter in terms of dealing with body fat loss goals? I’ll be listening for your reply on the show, Frank in Brisbane, Australia HIGH-FAT LOW-CARB, PERFECT MACROS NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship KEY QUOTE: “It always comes back to fact that it's the insulin resistance, stupid.

Hi Jimmy and Dr. Nally, Thanks for all you do in spreading the word about the multiple benefits of the ketogenic lifestyle through your podcast. I suffer from a lot of allergies, especially grass and ragweed pollen. Over the years I've experimented with many antihistamines and their efficacies for me. Of course, Benadryl is the best, but has the side effect of severe drowsiness. Through experimentation I've found what works best for me is the CVS brand of 12-hour allergy product where the active ingredient is Chlorpheniramine Maleate. Now that I'm keto, it seems prudent to reexamine all the medications and supplements I take in terms of their compatibility with this way of eating. In my allergy medication that I like, here's the list of inactive ingredients in this product: Calcium Sulfate, Carnauba Wax, Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, Confectioner's Sugar, D&C Yellow 10, Aluminum Lake, FD&C Blue 2/Indigo Carmine Aluminum Lake, FD&C Yellow 6, Gelatin, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Lactose Monohydrate, Magnesium Stearate, Methacrylic Acid Copolymer, Methyl Parahydroxybenzoate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Pharmaceutical Ink, Polysorbate 80, Povidone, Propyl Parahydroxybenzoate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sucrose, Talc, Titanium Dioxide, Triethyl Citrate. Ragweed season is fast approaching, and I will need an antihistamine product that will actually work—otherwise I will be absolutely miserable. I'm willing to take Benedryl every 4 hours if needed, but I was wondering if there is a long-acting antihistamine you advise your highly insulin resistant patients to take which will have minimum insulin and glucose response. I’d like to avoid the confectioner’s sugar, sucrose, and other suspect ingredients in that CVS brand if possible. This seems like an issue that might affect a lot of your listeners. Thanks for all you do in reaching and teaching so many about the ketogenic lifestyle! Leezah KETO TALK MAILBOX - What’s the best way to determine what the right level of carbs, protein, and fat are for my ketogenic diet? Hi, Jimmy and The Doc! Thank you for writing Keto Clarity and doing the Keto Talk podcast sharing your wisdom about the ketogenic lifestyle. I’ve been keto since January 2017 and have lost 15 pounds. While I eat low-carb, high-fat, I’m still struggling about how to figure out exactly how many carbohydrates, how much protein, and how much fat to eat. I follow a keto group on Facebook that gives me inspiration, but they don’t believe excess protein gets converted into glucose as I’ve learned from you guys. If you disagree with their version of keto, then they shame you for not understanding the diet. In fact, when I asked about testing my blood ketones recently, one person responded that eating 20g carbohydrates will automatically put you in to ketosis. I know this isn’t true, but it’s made me think about how I can go about discovering what the right level of carbs, protein, and fat are for me. Can you guys help? Thanks for all you do!
