Why Natural Products Are Better For You

Your body was created by Almighty God with the ability to heal itself but how can that be accomplished if your body's being constantly polluted by chemicals and artificial pollutants? When you don't choose natural products, you're making a sub-standard choice - a choice to consume (either by inhaling, eating or absorbing) something that doesn't offer you the best...The best nutrition, the best air quality, the best treatments. Natural is better.

Artificial products, food and medicine have side effects when consumed over a period of time. For example, the US FDA has stated that extended use of pharmaceutical drugs such as Tylenol and Advil (chemically engineered) can cause liver and kidney damage. However, let's look at a natural alternative for headaches...Therapeutic Grade Peppermint Essential Oil. Use therapeutic grade peppermint essential every day for a headache (not that you'll need to, I'm making a point here) and there are NO side effects. OK maybe a few: Breathing easy, Extended Energy, Mental Clarity and Cleared Up Sinuses. Natural Is Better.

Eat processed food often and risk side effects such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Eat broccoli, spinach and carrots often and experience better eye site, a healthy blood iron level and more regular bowel movements.

It's not to say that you can never eat fast food or use a product that's not natural. Sometimes you may be in a situation where natural products are not available. Just don't make artificial your way of life. Eat, drink, clean and heal naturally at least 90% of the time and you'll feel better, have more energy and chances are you'll live longer.

I've lived both ways - consuming the artificial in abundance and consuming the natural in abundance. I think you get the the picture. Natural Is Better.

• Using Skin care products laden with chemicals have been show to cause premature wrinkles over time
  
• Use of Hair care products filled with chemicals can cause your hair to fall out and your scalp to get damaged (example: relaxers and perms)
  
• Cleaning your home and doing your laundry with chemical based cleaners leaves your family susceptible to getting sick due to chemical residue.
  

I have three children. A boy 22 with no health issues, a girl 14 with a history of eczema and a special needs little boy 8 who is diagnosed with cerebral palsy and mental delays. He also has a history of epileptic seizures. With my daughter having eczema and my youngest son's challenges, this has caused me to focus more on using products that are natural.

I didn't always choose natural food over processed for myself personally. I sometimes still play in the "sand box" :-). However, my son, Christopher now has a mother who cares enough about him to only use natural shampoo, natural soap, natural detergent and natural toothpaste (by the way, his dentist confirmed that products with sodium laurel/lauryth sulfate in them cause mouth sores and guess what? SLS is in all the major brands of toothpastes and soaps).

Most everything within my control to provide my son with is natural. He even favors broccoli over lollipops! Yes, I allow him a sweet treat here and there but I must be careful with what I feed him. Too much sodium and he may seize. Too much gluten and his thyroid may act up.

While my son IS on medication to help some of his issues, that is not in my control at this time. I can not live to the extreme. The medicine helps but everything else is optional and I choose natural.
