30 Ways You Can Poison Yourself Before Breakfast

If a product has a warning on the label, it is poison! What is the cumulative effect on our health after using many, many products that contain small amounts of dangerous poisonous chemicals?

We spend every night breathing vapors from chemical poisons in the mattress or pillow and sleeping between sheets washed in poison. A typical U.S. family might start the day grooming with a shower/bath, shampoo, condition, brush teeth, shave, as well as using colognes, perfumes, hairsprays and etc., in an enclosed area using many products containing poisonous ingredients. Then we all dress with clothes washed in poison.

According to the U.S. Government and the product manufacturers, the list above is only a partial list of chemical poisons found in products that are inhaled, absorbed, or ingested by the body before you even eat breakfast! This list does not include the additional use of common household cleaners.

Do you think these poisons might also cause our children to have health problems?


What keeps you from just relaxing?  What makes you feel so tired?  Why do you get sick so much?  What is causing your allergies? What is keeping you awake or from sleeping soundly?

The Answer? Drugs and toxins in your body.

We are living in a drug and chemical age. The use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, "recreational" drugs like marijuana and cocaine, psychiatric drugs, and street drugs has reached epidemic proportions and is crippling the lives of millions of people.  The use of these drugs deadens awareness, reduces the learning rate, clouds the thinking and generally makes a person less able to cope with life around them.

Additionally, there are over 3,000 chemicals added to the foods we eat found in any supermarket. There are Pesticides that pollute our environment every year, and over 700 different chemical compounds in our common drinking water, not to mention the thousands of chemicals used in cleaning and personal care products and construction materials.

Research reveals that drugs and toxic chemicals entering the body by inhalation, skin absorption, and ingestion, stay in the body long after they enter it. Stored in the body; they continue to affect you adversely, making you feel dead, dull, and lifeless. They even cause weight gain.

There are ways to stop this chemical invasion of the body and pollution of the environment. Some chemicals have an immediate impact on the people, but all can be deadly and dangerous in the long term. Invest in a safer, healthier future; replace the common toxic household cleaners and personal care products with humanly safe, natural botanical cleansers.

These are some of the reported results:

  • Able to feel better.
  • Feel rested in the morning.
  • More in control of life.
  • Increase enjoyment.
  • Able to do more.

By replacing the toxic (poisonous) chemicals in your home, yard, and workplace with safer bio-friendly alternatives, you improve your quality of life, safeguard the health of your family, and protect the environment from toxic pollution.
