Just the other day I had another acquaintance share her story about getting her implants removed because they were making her very, very sick.? They were not leaking.? Just their presence in her system was causing a myriad of seemingly unrelated health problems that kept doctors baffled for years trying to find answers.??
At the end of this emotional conversation she said something that motivated to write this piece:?
“I just wish that before went through with the procedure that all the risks were clearly explained to me, I still would have gone through with it, I was young and nothing would have changed my mind, but at least I wouldn’t have wasted so many years sick trying to get answers - I would have known what was causing my health issues.”
Which led me to say, “well exactly, and in addition that there was a global understanding that when someone says something is non-toxic in a certain amount, that leaves you the consumer to keep a tally of allllllllll the ‘not that toxic’ things you are actually doing in your life.”
Just to name a few:
Nail Polish
Implants
Botox
Make up
Hair Dye
Cleaning Products
Plastic Water Bottles
Microwaving Your Lunch
Your Clothing
Your Shoes
Air Fresheners
Airplane Air
Tattoos
Personal Hygiene Products
Tampons
Sexual Wellness Products
Etc, etc, etc

These things add up, layer upon layer, year after year of toxins that won’t kill you but also won't make you stronger.? They likely won’t even make you so sick that you seek medical attention, however they might be making you tired, affecting your ability to concentrate and/or your cycle/fertility.?
So as I am still technically OOO in terms of creating content this August I just needed to share this compilation of podcasts that I think you should listen to that fall under the catch all of:?
