Are all sunscreens created equal

Beverly — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:09:15 +0000

No, they really aren’t. An incredible amount of marketing, hype, exaggeration and false promises go on in the sunscreen world. For good reason. People have become much more aware of the dangers of sun exposure both in matters of premature aging and skin cancer.

Another important question: Are all sunscreens safe? According to a recent report by the Environmental Working Group, after many years of testing products and reviewing available scientific material, four out of five sunscreen products don’t meet their standards for safety and effectiveness. (a claim disputed by the major companies).

Sunscreens and sun blocks, along with virtually every other product in the body care/cosmetic industry, can contain toxic, artificial chemicals, petroleum products and other ingredients that are considered hazardous to health. Hardly the things we should be slathering and spraying on children several times a day throughout the summer.

While sales for sunscreens and sun blocks have sky rocketed in recent years, it seems government standards and uniform language dealing with outlandish product promises have not kept pace. Additionally, numerous sources say the incidence of skin cancer has tripled over that same period of time.
There has to be a better answer.

Does your sunscreen contain any Octyl-dimethyl-PABA (OD-PABA) , Benzophenone-3 (Bp-3), Homosalate (HMS) , Octyl-methoxycinnamate (OMC) and 4-methyl-benzylidene camphor (4-MBC)? These are common ingredients in many sun block and sun screen formulas. And they can have a very unpleasant effect on your body. They develop free radicals in the body. They can in effect behave like estrogen, a very powerful hormone or chemical messenger in the body, explains the Skin Biology website created by Dr. Loren Pickart, biochemist.

How about PABA, Dioxybenzone, Oxybenzone, and Titanium Dioxide? These chemicals are toxins as well as carcinogens. And don’t just check your sun screen lotion. Many lip balms, cosmetics and face creams contain sun block as well. Another hazard is coating skin with any sun block or sunscreen prevents it from absorbing enough vitamin D from the sun.

So what can you do? Look for sunscreen or sun block that uses zinc oxide and other all natural products. Healing Leaf LLC has developed Beach Butter, an all natural blend of rich oils and zinc oxide. With an SPF 15, this smooth and protective balm protects children and adults from dangerous sun rays and does NOT add dangerous chemicals or petroleum products.

Healing Leaf LLC never resorts to artificial chemicals or petroleum products to amp up scent or texture. They have an array of products for skin issues. To read more go to www,NoFungusAmongUs.com.

The Amazing Power of Herbs

Beverly — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 23:56:05 +0000

Even in this relatively sophisticated age of technology, almost every family has an older mom, grandmother or aunt who has herbal remedies for minor ailments: lemon for cough, slippery elm for constipation, mint for bad breath or indigestion. There are so many more. Herbalists, naturalists and master gardeners have an amazing understanding of the intensity and miraculous healing properties inherent in the plants around us.

They also know laboratories and pharmaceutical companies have been incorporating these powerful plants into prescription medications for decades. The reason this is not more widely known is because of the jealous way these businesses protect (and rightly so) their prescription recipes.
According to Mark Madachik, PD, Herbs or medicinal plants have been used down through the ages for whatever ailed us. In fact we still use them and prescribe them but not always in the unrefined form that the health food stores and pharmacies now sell in abundance. What has occurred with advancements in medicinal chemistry is the isolation, refinement, and then use of individual medicinal factors within these plants. This is done to provide drugs that are more specific in their use and possesses less side affects. Though not the “natural” way, it is often better.

If you read up on any of the currently popular herbs you will find that they are often recommended for many ailments. This makes it very difficult to prove or disprove the efficacy or true worth of herbs in medicine. It also tends to make medical practitioners a bit nervous about prescribing medicine (herbs) that may cause more than one response in a patient. Dosing can become a problem since the percentage of individual factors within any plant can be changed by environmental influences and herbs sold today are not subjected to the stringent tests for purity that prescription drugs must meet.

This variation in refinement also varies the potency or more importantly the effect they have on us. Some herbs have shown to be beneficial if taken in an intelligent manner but this applies to only a few. The truth is that a large amount of the claims made for herb benefits are often exaggerated so as to increase the manufacturer profits. Even within the Orient where herbal use is high there is very little unbiased documented facts for the claims that are made of these herbs.

Herbs may be used more often in the practice of medicine and maybe even prescribed when more exacting and reliable data becomes available as to the TRUE benefits and uses and also TRUE adverse reactions. Work has increased to provide this data and hopefully in the near future we will have answers we can rely on. We’ll get there – it just takes time to do it intelligently. But from a practical stand point I would not be in any hurry to have herbs PRESCRIBED… it just might raise the price…

It is certainly true that refining and isolating herbs could increase their power. But oftentimes these laboratories also adulterate herbs, add synthetic chemicals and petroleum ingredients to boost reactions and add to possible side effects.

Naturalists are not big fans of adulterating herbs and adding anything synthetic or toxic.‚ Companies‚ like Healing Leaf LLC spend lots of time and money to find ways to offer healing herbs and oils‚ in products that are as pure and natural as possible.‚ They produce solutions for difficult skin disorders like psoriasis, eczema, warts, and skin tags. They have safe and earth friendly products for hemorrhoids, genital warts, age spots, peculiar skin growths and aging skin.

Love those Wrinkles

Beverly — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:33:59 +0000

While it would be lovely to grow older, gain wisdom, advance in our careers and still manage to look the way we looked when we were twenty, there are unfortunate signs of aging we must all contend with.‚ Wrinkles, sagging facial skin, laugh lines that seem as deep as craters, and age spots.‚ In our culture there is a great push to minimize, hide or even obliterate these well-earned badges of living.‚ While drastic measures such as plastic surgery seem excessive to most of us, careful and natural skin care can make a big difference in the way we show our age.‚ Interested?

Healing Leaf LLC is dedicated to researching, developing and producing natural products that address aging skin issues.‚ For an active facial care program, they offer Truth Serum, an anti-aging wrinkle serum and Line Detector, a natural and pure moisturizer.‚

All of these products are created with rich oils, vitamins, and healing herbs and botanicals.‚ They are natural, safe and earth-friendly.‚

Aging is a natural process.‚ There are so many advantages, we should never buy in to the cultural pressure that disrespects, objectifies and ridicules such an important part of life.‚ Current media and advertising perspectives encourage a negative attitude to normal life changes.‚

Every Choice Every Day Matters

Beverly — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:45:02 +0000

The wonderful thing about life is that it is filled with choices and second chances. When we realize we have been going down the wrong road we almost always have the freedom and the time to change direction, make new choices and alter our destiny. In recent years the media has prompted many people to change directions in areas of diet and exercise. But what about the choices we make with our skin, hair, cosmetics, and bodies?It is becoming increasingly obvious the body care, cosmetic, and hair care industries are taking the easy (or cheap) way out when it comes to the products they produce. Keeping products natural is neither easy nor economical. Synthetic chemicals and petroleum products can make creams and lotions silkier and more profitable.‚ But there is a cost to the consumer. Those kinds of ingredients can work their way into our bloodstreams and our tissues rather quickly. And over a period of years, considering how many salves, balms, lotions, cosmetics and makeup items include petroleum-based or synthetic chemical properties, dangerous levels of these products can build in our bodies.

If you wonder which companies resort to petroleum and chemical additives, make it a practice to read ingredient lists.‚ Or go do a little research Online.‚ It easy to find.‚ The website for The Organic Makeup Company says, “Your skin covers your body and acts as a physical barrier to many of the pollutants in the atmosphere. When you use products on your skin such as cosmetics, lotions, and shampoos, the ingredients in these products come into direct contact with your body largest organ; your skin. You may ask yourself, where do the ingredients in the products go? Modern research at the Herb Research Foundation found that the skin absorbs up to 60% of the chemicals in products that it comes into contact with directly into the bloodstream. Today, hormone therapy treatments and smoking cessation medications are often prescribed as patches that you apply directly to the skin. The medication passes through the skin and directly enters the bloodstream.

For pregnant women, the risk is not only for her body but also for the developing fetus. If the chemicals found in cosmetics readily enter the bloodstream when applied to the skin, then they will also reach the developing baby. Researchers at the Brunel University in England are looking closely at a family of preservatives called parabens. Their research has recently linked parabens to the possibility that male babies will have lower sperm counts. These preservatives are derived from petroleum and help to maintain the freshness and integrity of the product. Currently, many manufacturers add parabens to cosmetics to allow a minimum of 3 years shelf life. Therefore, the parabens kill any bacteria that could potentially enter the product. If these chemical ingredients can kill the bacterial cells, what are they doing to your skin cells? In most cases, there is no conclusive answer to this question. However, the research mentioned strongly suggests that the synthetic ingredients may have a significant impact on our bodies.

In many cases, the long-term effects of many of the chemical additives in our cosmetics are not known. However, other chemical additives are known carcinogens. These types of chemicals can cause cancer in humans. Such chemicals include some artificial colours in cosmetics. The effects of chemicals and other synthetic ingredients in cosmetics may lead to mild allergic reactions causing rashes and minor skin irritation to more significant problems such as lesions on the skin.

So, just like with your food choices, the daily decisions about what to apply to your skin, hair or teeth becomes increasingly important. Healing Leaf LLC has a line of skin care products that struggles valiantly to stay natural.‚ Using rich oils, healing herbs and botanicals, they produce solutions for eczema, psoriasis, warts, skin tags, toenail fungus, athlete foot, and numerous other conditions.‚ All their products are natural, safe and earth friendly.

A caution here, just because a product is natural, it can be overused and even abused.‚ The high resin oils and even an ingredient like oregano oil can be extremely strong and effective. But when overused or applied in a manner other than directed, they can cause irritations and even rashes.

Simply because a plant grows wild does not mean it is weak or ineffective.‚ Many of the expensive prescription‚ medications at your pharmacy are created from these same botanicals.

Daily choices are the building blocks to our futures.‚ So when you start planning your diet and your exercise regimen, take time to read the labels and the product ingredients for everything that touches your body. And if you have a special skin care need or problem, go visit www.NoFungusAmongUs.com. Healing Leaf LLC is all about all natural and safe for your body.

Take A New Look at Congestion

Beverly — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:58:35 +0000

There is a rather famous vapor rub most people have known since childhood. So it may seem a little presumptuous for an upstart company to come along and introduce a new vapor rub. But Healing Leaf LLC has done just that. And there is a good reason.

Too many products today (including balms, salves, cosmetics and lotions) incorporate petroleum by-products and synthetic chemicals. It might be argued that a little petroleum, turpentine or propylene glycol won’t really hurt a human body. And one dose probably wouldn’t. But there is a cumulative effect here. If most of the products you use on your skin and your hair, if your cosmetics, makeup and lotions contain petroleum and chemicals, those products have a huge probability of entering your bloodstream and your cells.

There is no true need to use petroleum and synthetic chemicals. It is true they can make lotions and creams smoother and they can definitely increase shelf life of all products. Thing is, many of those products will outlast you if you use enough of them.

All natural is a good thing when it comes to putting salves, balms, lotions and cosmetics on your skin and in your hair. Those products are safer and much more earth friendly. It is a simple matter of choice. Just like a well known commercial for ice cream, if you cannot spell, pronounce or come close to remembering the ingredients in your body lotion, you might want to shop a health store carefully before you buy the next one.

At Healing Leaf LLC, there is an even more stringent requirement. If you wouldn eat it, don’t put it on your body. The big test is to line up all those daily products you put on your body. READ the ingredients. I think many of us have assumed if a product is on the Internet or a store shelf, it has passed all manner of tests and guidelines from the government and the FDA. That is kind of true. Except the government is often controlled by lobbyists and special interest groups. And those petroleum‚ and propylene glycol folks have a lot more money than most naturalists and herb experts.

There is an incredible amount of reading and research available on natural science. We get to choose. More importantly, we have an obligation to our bodies to choose wisely. Especially during those years we are making the choices for young children. We know better than to load up their arteries and veins with cholesterol and fat.‚ The next step is learning not to ingest hazardous ingredients through our skin.

So the next time you or your child gets congested and you want that time honored ritual of chest rub, flannel jammies and a nice long story, reach for Healing Leaf‚ LLC Breathtaking Vapor Rub. It is all natural, safe and earth friendly. Begin today to read labels and choose to de-chemical and de-petroleum your body.

Toads Warts and Worry Go Away

Beverly — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 21:38:00 +0000

There is not a lot one can say about warts.‚ Almost everyone has had one at some time in their life and pretty much everyone hates them.‚ Children often get them and that is probably because children like to play in dirt and mud and those are wonderful hiding and breeding places for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes warts.

One would think there would be all kinds of information on the Internet and while there are many sites dealing with warts, they all seem to contain one article dressed in a hundred disguises.‚ All of this makes sense, I guess.‚ There are four main kinds of warts:‚ Common warts, flat warts, plantar warts and filiform warts.‚ They are contagious but not passed as easily from person to person or child to child as we¢‚¬„¢ve been taught to fear.

Warts are areas of skin that grow faster than normal due to the presence of the HPV.‚ They are skin-colored and feel rough to the touch. Their technical name is verruca vulgaris. They appear most often on the hands, feet and face but they can grow almost anywhere in the body.

Flat warts are much smaller and are less rough than hand or foot warts. They tend to grow in great numbers — 20 to 100 at any one time. They can occur anywhere, but in children they are most common on the face. In adults they are most often found in the beard area in men and on the legs in women. Skin irritation from shaving probably accounts for this.

A plantar wart is simply a wart growing on the weight-bearing surface of the foot that grows inward rather than outwards because it is pressed on when a person walks.

As warts are caused by a virus infection, the body will build up resistance over a period of time and eventually the body will cause the warts to disappear. This may take months or sometimes years but is the natural way the body deals with warts. If they are allowed to disappear in this way it is less likely that a person will get any further ones as one will then be immune to that virus.

Healing Leaf LLC has three products that deal directly with warts.‚ The first one, Eye of Newt‚®, works fairly quickly.‚ All three products are safe and natural.‚ But since Eye of Newt‚® contains oregano oil it is a bit more harsh than the other two products.‚ Just because a product is all natural does not mean one should overuse it or disregard application instructions.‚ Eye of Newt‚® should be used twice a day, morning and night, and should not be applied on healthy skin.‚ Using a Q-tip or small applicator, the salve should be applied directly on the wart.‚

Healing Leaf LLC other option for children warts is a milder salve a child can monitor on his or her own.‚ Prince Little‚® and Princess Little‚® are lightly scented, orange and lavender respectively, and so safe and natural you can allow your child to have a part in his or her healing.‚ Combined with a calendar to monitor changes and track applications, a child develops a sense of responsibility when it comes to his or her health.‚

Warts are not the end of the world.‚ Keeping things in perspective, we all need to understand there are worse things that can happen.‚ Burt large warts, numerous warts and poorly placed warts can be embarrassing so it is nice to know there is a safe and natural way to get rid of them.‚ So when that HPV hits you, a family member or one of your children, hurry to get Eye of Newt‚®, Prince Little‚® or Princess Little‚® as fast as you can.

Oh Baby

Beverly — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:11:05 +0000

Do babies still get diaper rash? Today™s disposable diapers with moisture shields, anti-bacterial additives and techno protection certainly guard against the old nightmares of detergent allergies, ammonia burns and yeast critters that survived washer and dryer dousings. But guess what?

Babies still get diaper rash. Not as often and not as severe but they still happen. And then there are the curses of cradle cap, food allergies and introduction of acidic food to tender skin. That is why the people at Healing Leaf LLC offer Bums ˜n Roses®, a healing blend of rich oils, rose petals and some of the most incredible skin-friendly herbs known.

What exactly is diaper rash and why do babies get it? It™s a combination of their ultra sensitive skin, chemicals from lotions and detergents, and the moisture found in urine and stools. Cover this all up with a diaper that rubs back and forth, (even a relatively safe disposable diaper) and you have diaper rash. This damaged skin is susceptible to the invasion of bacteria and yeast, which can make the rash worse.

How about cradle cap? This problem derives its name from a skin condition affecting the scalps of babies. A form of eczema, cradle cap looks quite severe even when it is mild, with large, oily, yellow scales flaking from the baby’s scalp. There is often a secondary yeast infection in the scaly area. The face often exhibits little red bumps and scales on the cheeks, and this can spread to cover the body. The rash may also become weepy. Cradle cap is sometimes difficult to treat, but it does disappear on its own, usually within a few months. It often emerges in association with a diaper rash. In a few cases, cradle cap is followed by a susceptibility to eczema.

Cradle cap is not contagious, and, like dandruff, is a kind of seborrheic dermatitis. Underlying problems are related to a nutrient deficiency, which is common during pregnancy due to the increased need for nutrients. Lack of vitamin B or zinc in the pregnant mother’s diet often leads to cradle cap in her baby. Since all substances the mother consumes enter the breast milk, allergies and diet should be taken into consideration. Everything from nicotine to Aspirin¢ž¢ adds stress to the child’s body, and the skin is an organ of elimination. Trans-fatty acids from margarine, shortening, commercial salad dressings and other refined oils are detrimental. Children bottle-fed with regular cow’s milk are usually lacking essential fatty acids and other nutrients available in mother’s milk. Also, cow’s milk is more difficult to digest.

Bums ˜n Roses® soothes and clears diaper rash and cradle cap. It is also beneficial for those red patches that appear around the mouth as babies are introduced to new (and more acidic) foods. Ever give a child ketchup and seen that reddened area bloom on the face? It is not a true allergy usually, rather a reaction to new and unfamiliar substance.

Bums ˜n Roses® is an indispensible addition to any nursery. Its clean floral scent combined with actual rose petals and other botanicals in the richest possible oils, heal, sooth, and calm your baby™s skin. Safe, earth-friendly and all natural, there is no gentler way to pamper your child™s early skin needs.

Here Kitty Kitty

Beverly — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:02:03 +0000

Did you ever try to stop a child from rushing to a stray kitten?‚ No luck, right?‚ There is something about the fluffy cuteness of a baby cat that instantly bonds to the heart of a child.‚ Both creatures are so filled with hope and trust that it can almost take your breath away.‚ But what if that little fluffball is infested with ringworm?

Ringworm is, first of all, not about a worm.‚ It is a fungal infection similar to athlete foot, toenail fungus and other fungal skin infections.‚ They are part of a group of funguses known as tinea.

So once you make it past the worm thing and past the horrors from the past that involved shaving children heads and shunning them like lepers, one can get on with the business of healing.‚

Healing Leaf LLC has formulated a product called Ringworm Bullet‚® and this product works equally well on the child AND the kitten.‚ May we suggest you purchase separate tins for your two patients?‚ A thin application of this all natural and safe product applied no more than twice a day, should take care of the fungus within 3-5 days.‚ Even if you can still see the classic fungal rings, the fungus will be dead.

Why is this so safe?‚ Ringworm Bullet‚® is made from all natural oils and healing herbs.‚ One of those ingredients is oregano oil.‚ Just because an ingredient is natural, by the way, does not mean it is weak.‚ Many herbs and oils are strong and can cause skin reactions or other problems.‚ So even with natural products one should always read and follow directions carefully.‚ But natural products are safer than those made from petroleum products or with synthetic chemicals.

Black mold is dangerous.‚ Certain funguses also cause problems for people.‚ If you have ever read the admonitions about black mold in the Bible Old Testament you will find the instructions to use Hyssop to kill the mold.‚ This Hyssop is oregano oil.‚ Even thousands of years ago, people knew black mold was profoundly harmful.‚ So harmful that if the Hyssop procedure did not work, the homeowner was told to move out of the house.‚ It is almost that bad still today.‚ People have had to remove sheetrock, treat studs and rebuild in their efforts to destroy mold infestations.

While a ringworm infection does not rise to the level of black mold in seriousness, it can feel incredibly serious to the person or animal suffering from its itch and disfiguring rash.‚ Please remember, once you have used the product for four or five days, discontinue use.‚ The fungus will be killed even if you can still see the rash.

It is an interesting study to find that most of our human maladies can be helped and even cured by the natural botanicals that grow around us.‚ ‚ Sadly many medications offered commercially are adulterated and changed by adding artificial ingredients, chemicals and petroleum products.‚ Before one resorts to such extreme measures, go to your local health food store and find a product that is safe, natural and earth friendly.‚ Or you can go to www.NoFungusAMongUs.com and read all about our skin care products and formulations for skin problems.‚
