More on Dioxin issues for women... According to WHO, the risks of dioxin to personal health include diabetes, cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and liver damage. A study sponsored by the FDA office of Women’s Health published in 2005 found detectable levels of dioxin in seven brands of tampons. It is important to note that just a few parts per trillion of dioxin in body fat can cause serious health effects. What about TSS & tampon use? Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is potentially a fatal illness. It includes warning signs such as headaches, sore throat, a bloating feeling and pain. Independent research conducted by Dr. Tierno* at New York University Medical School concluded that the bacterium causing TSS, did not produce toxins in the presence of 100% organic cotton tampons. *Philip M Tierno, Jr and Bruce A Hanna, Depart of mi-crobiology and Pathology NYU School of Medicine, NYU Medical Centre, 560 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016. What about Parabens? Are they in sanitary hygiene & baby wipes? Parabens are found in most cosmetic products from skin lotions to body wipes to prevent bacteria and moulds growing in the liquid and wipes. Parabens are just one of a large group of toxic chemicals that science has no answers about with regards to the long term effects of using them every day on the skin. Natracare has produced Intimate Wipes that consider the health of women and babies and the care of the environment with no parabens. Dr. Philippa Darbre and colleagues at the University of Reading in the UK carried out tests on samples of 20 different human breast tumors. Writing in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, they say “they found traces of parabens in every sample.” Their tests suggested the chemicals had seeped into the tissue after being applied to the skin. TESTIMONIALS from New Zealand Women .... “According to my knowledge I had never suffered with any complications from using normal sanitary products. After being educated about Natracare, I choose to use them for the good of my body and the environment. Since then I have noticed a change! I used to always have a sore throat and headache with my period and these are now gone. I have also noticed the length of my period has shortened. The product is now cheaper (because I don‟t use as much) and I enjoy the difference.” Sharon C “After trying nearly every product on the market I have finally found one that agrees with my body. I no longer have rashes, itchiness or leaking problems. I feel healthier and more confident.” Dale W “By the end of my period my stomach would be bloated and sore. After using Natracare for a couple of months I noticed that this didn‟t happen.” Toni “I can‟t believe the difference—I use to suffer a burning sensation when using any type of sanitary product. Since finding Natracare I no longer „burn‟.” Rachel C “I was looking for a product that has no chemicals, perfumes or plastics and found Natracare. I no longer suffer with „normal itchiness‟.
