At the end of the article it offers some safe detergent for people with allergies ...

made me think there was a ulterior motif to the writting of this article ...

but decided to share it anyway because the information is useful to know

Hmmm, the only real surprise was the toothpaste, but I´ve never bought that brand anyway. laugh

The talcum powder scare started in the sixties and my mother stopped buying it so I´ve never used that either. Other young mums like myself thought I was peculiar for not using it on my babies!

Thanks EW, I've had a skim through that article.

I'm pretty careful with which products I use and never used any of those listed.

I use a lot of Ecover products, but I'm now thinking that they contain ingredients that may have affected my immune system over the last 10 months. Sometimes, even natural, biodegradable products can cause a reaction.

So, back to square one for me. doh

No I dont', but I like healthy food and healthy products the more natural the better. I practically never use medication either. I use herbs or essential oils combined with healing and mind over matter.

So far it has served me well ... Thanks for asking Ali cheers

jac379: Aha...that'll account for the healing effect that using Ecover laundry bleach had on my hands the other day. Peroxide sounds like a good replacement for the biodegradable cleaner that I'm using at the moment.

Keep going, EW.


Have you tried those washing balls? I don´t suffer from any allergies fortunately but I´m trying to adopt a greener lifestyle.

I was highly dubious, but after using it for a month now I´m converted!

I haven´t used mine for handwashing but I know they can be used for this purpose.

There are different brands on the market so check them out on the internet before you buy.

I don´t buy detergent or fabric conditioner anymore, but I do add a little environmentally friendly oxygen based bleach for whites and wash in warm water. However, I did this before with the detergent. With the ball I always use the cold wash cycle or 30 degrees maximum for more soiled clothes or whites so saves on electricity and water which is particularly precious here in Murcia.

I don't know how to kill dust mites but I can tell you the best anti-estamine which could do the trick ... for dust allergy ...

Make an infusion (tea) from white nettles (clip about the 5 top cm of a baby plant) AND plantain leaves. Plantain is a plant with long leaves and whitish flower like stems in the middle of the leaves. It usually grows near nettles as it is the antidote for nettle stings.

Worth a try ...
