more product recalls - dont panic its organic

Many years ago - well really decades ago, if my memory serves me right, the slogan "Don't panic its Organic" was the catch phrase of the day.

At the time (1970s-1980s) health food stores were all the rage in my life from Bondi in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney to other locations including, Paddington and Randwick.

Well now in 2008, many years from Byron Bay, Brisbane, but now in Woy Woy, natural food still plays a major part in my lifestyle.

It really concerns me to read on about product recalls from China where it seems OHS & R maybe is not even heard of!

Is it western multi-nationals that have moved off-shore in an effort to make an extra buck, or is it some other reason?

Today I read about people becoming sick in Japan where "retailers pull frozen beans from China off the shelves after a woman fell ill eating a product which had 34,500 times the legal limit of pesticide,.

This is really serious stuff, apparently this was a middle class burb and not the cheapest place where one would buy second rate items.

This has gone way too far.

Let us reduce waste, save the planet for our children and be ethical in our living.

Love to you all and live and eat healthy till next time.

melamine, dairy recalls and chocolate health risks

Last week I wrote about the fallout that was likely to occur with the Chinese milk contamination debacle.

Unfortunately another item has been added to the list, this time a popular brand of chocolate product.

While I would again like to wish that this is a one off case, only time will tell how far the dangers of adding industrial chemicals to our food and body products will go before people revolt and manufacturers are required to take an ethical stand on the earths' safety and long term survival of our species.

Some tips:
Eat smart,
eat fresh,
minimise your chemical consumption,
drink plenty of fresh filtered water to allow your body to revive.

Purchase body products that are certified chemical free like a range is promoted at slsfree.com.au or can be purchased at Gnostic Healing Sanctuary in Woy Woy NSW Australia

Till next time love and enjoy life :)

Health hazards from chemicals in food and equipment

It has now been about a week since the scare about the chemical hazards that have been found in baby formula. More than 100,000 children have had some symptoms, some life threatening and while other may have been luckier.

At first it was thought that this was just another minor scare that has the potential to harm our loved ones and others. But in reality I was sure that this was just another tip of the iceberg contamination scare that unfortunately may occur again and again. In no way would this be wished to happen ever again.

Lead painted toys, children's toy containing highly toxic chemicals, toothpastes with toxic colours, heat packs with ethylene glycol, eyelash conditioners that contain prostaglandin cloprostenol, the list goes on and on.

Manufactures need to be held responsible for the toxic ingredients that are entering our environment and our bodies.

When purchasing products think simple and natural and organic. Less is best. Consider the long term reactions of unknown chemical ingredients to our environment and our bodies.

Love to you all :)
