Personal Care Products And Drinking Water Destroying Fertility

I have made this claim before, via other articles, my ebook and in my Fertile Lifestyle programmes and seminars – this information is not new but the scientific research behind it re-enforcing the importance of removing toxins from our life if we want to preserve fertility.

A friend who is very familiar and supportive of the work I do and the importance of my fertility education programmes showed me the information (in shaded section below) that was posted on FaceBook.  Written by Tom Mower, owner and director of Sisel International on 7th April 2015, I felt his research was too valuable not to share so as to help your fertility and pregnancy journey.

The motivation for me writing this article is due to my research driven findings that:

 

your toxic exposure could be the only reason why you are not falling pregnant and seeing your pregnancy through to full term.

 

Toxins also effect the health of eggs, sperm and your baby’s genetics.

Do you drink recycled toilet water?

If you drink tap water in countries where governments provide recycled toilet water (in the UK, US, Australia is following suit too) it means you are consuming recycled pharmaceuticals, hormones from other drugs, fake hormone stimulating ingredients from plastic packaging and a cocktail of toxic chemicals from body wash products, fluoride toothpastes, etc.

What goes on your skin gets directly absorbed into your bloodstream

Not only is your water polluted but you may be unknowingly continuing to poison your organs by applying toxins from bathroom products and cosmetics directly onto your skin. We’ll come back to this topic in more detail, but first let’s recap on the vital importance of how hormones function.

Role of hormones

Hormones are chemicals secreted by your endocrine system so your body can carry out fundamental physiological functions. They control the rates of certain chemical reactions, assist in regulating water balance, electrolyte balance, blood pressure. They also influence our feelings, behaviour, development, growth and reproduction.

You are probably most familiar with the role of sex hormones such as testosterone and oestrogen which govern the function of the reproductive system. But no system works in isolation, each system and part affects the whole so your metabolism, digestive system and cardiovascular system are also affected by how well your endocrine system is functioning.

How toxic chemicals affect hormones

There are several toxic chemicals out there, that we come into contact with nowadays on a daily basis that tell the brain to produce hormones – even when we don’t need them produced. It is this overproduction of “fake” hormones (xeno-oestrogens) that triggers issues with adrenal glands, thyroid gland, etc. which have a direct effect on fertility. (Read more about this via my previous article here).

Personal care products are the greatest hormone disruptor

The toxic chemicals we put on our skin via personal care products create oestrogen dominance, this is because you are much more likely to absorb xeno-oestrogens through your skin than with your diet (which is essentially more dangerous because when you ingest toxins as they go through a filtration and detoxification process in the liver).
Therefore learning to create a fertile lifestyle in which you know what toxins to avoid – even to go as far as only wearing organic clothing is essential.

Why? The toxic chemicals that are in contact with our skin get absorbed straight into the bloodstream and these chemicals not only disrupt your fertility but your mental health, emotions and more.

Via Awakening Fertility’s Fertile Lifestyle Programme we recommend clients purchase organic clothing made from fibres such as hemp, cotton and bamboo.

Brands such as Asquith (clothing pictured above) are an ethical company and I have worn their products for years, check them out here.

How do you know if your products are toxic?

Supermarket brand products are toxic, Boots and Superdrug brands are toxic.

If you can not understand the list of ingredients it is most likely because you do not have a science degree to understand the chemical preservatives.

Below is the essential list to ensure you do not use:

1. Aluminium – used in deodorants, linked to cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease (shrinking of the brain) and hormonal disruptions
2. Benzoates – used as a preservative in food and body care products, linked to cancer
3. Benzoic Acid – used as a preservative in food and body care products, linked to cancer
4. BHA – used as a preserving agent in makeup and moisturising
5. BHT– used as a preserving agent in makeup and moisturising
6. Coal Tar Dies – used in make-up, look for CI+ a 5 digit number, e.g. CI57000
7. DEA – in moisturises and shampoos
8. Diazolidinyl urea – releases formaldehyde and used in cosmetics
9. Dibutylphthalate – found in nail products and is especially bad for reproductive system and endocrine system (which governs the whole hormonal system)
10. DMDM hydantoin – releases formaldehyde and used in cosmetics
11. FD&C “No.1” or FD&C “Blue”  – die used in make-up
12. Imidazolidinyl urea – releases formaldehyde and used in cosmetics
13. MEA – in moisturises and shampoos
14. Methenamine – releases formaldehyde and used in cosmetics
15. Methicone – used in anything that softens and moistens skin or hair
16. Parabens – used in cosmetics (which specifically interfere with hormone production)
17. Parfum – fragrance added to anything
18. PEG – used in cosmetics and creams
19. Petrolatum – used in hair products
20. Quarternium-15 – releases formaldehyde and used in cosmetics
21. Siloxanes – used in anything that softens or moisturises
22. Sodium Laureth Sulphate/Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) – used as a frothing agent in shampoos, body wash, etc. (Also in Canasten consumable capsule to do not take it!)
23. TEA – in moisturises and shampoos
24. Triclosan – anti-bacterial used in toothpastes, make-up, various cosmetics

THESE ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS ARE IN THE PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS YOU USE EVERY DAY!!!

Water is a secondary source.

You and your loved ones directly apply them to your body and those of your loved ones from hair shampoo, conditioners, toothpaste, skin lotions, hand dishwashing soap and cosmetics.

These personal care products are the single greatest source of putting endocrine disruptors directly into your blood system. Girls are over developed now, entering puberty 4-5 years earlier than ever in history. Sperm Count in men are down from 100,000 units per ml in 1950 to 5,000 units today. Homosexuality is rampant and may be driven by these products that mothers use when they are pregnant. They cross over the placenta and affect the developing fetus. Once born the children are subject to these powerful feminizing chemicals.

Men are not the men they once were and women are over driven with cancers and heart attack rates increasing much faster then men’s. All this primarily driven by the products they use but are not aware are powerful brain and sex altering chemicals.

 

 

There are a few good brands around that do not have these ingredients and neither do they have toxic packaging, e.g. “Sisel Safe” and others listed at the end of this article.

 

 

Read this report on British coastal water:

 

 

Human waste blamed for turning one in 10 of Britain’s male clams into females

 

Almost one in 10 male clams found around the English coast has developed feminine features, a phenomenon blamed on hormone-disrupting pollutants found in pharmaceuticals, cosmetic and personal care products that enter the sewage system and from other waste.

Researchers, who tested more than 3,000 adult clams from locations along the English Channel coast and neighboring areas, found that 8.6 per cent of male clams had evidence of both ovarian and testicular tissue. Six out of 10 sites had the so-called “intersexed” clams.

“The widespread and elevated occurrences… far exceed the occasional or accidental levels seen in other species,” say the researchers, from the Marine Biological Association, Plymouth and the University of Le Havre.

Clams, mussels, oysters and scallops are bivalves. They inhabit the sediment in estuaries, which acts as a long-term reservoir for pollutants. These invertebrates are at the bottom of the food chain – so the adverse effects of pollutants may have implications for other species.

The aim of the new three-year study, reported in the Marine Pollution Bulletin, was to investigate how widespread the abnormal development was. Results show that 58 per cent of sites have found intersex males.

The researchers said: “Future research should focus on the biological mechanisms of action, the causative chemicals, their relative potency and interactions.”

In other research, intersex has been used as a biological indicator of the impact of so-called endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with the hormones that are responsible for the regulation of development and other processes.

Several studies have linked intersex, or other measures of endocrine disruption in invertebrates, to effluent from sewage works. Feminization of male freshwater fish exposed to EDCs from sewage treatment works and other sources has been found.
