"Whitaker continues: Late last year, the FTC charged Natural organics, a company that markets a natural alternative to Ritalin called Pedi-Active ADD, with making unsubstantiated claims - despite the fact that Natural organics has submitted some 200 studies, including 18 double-blind studies, in support of its claims. According to Natural organics CEO Gerald Kessler, the FTC has failed to produce a single study supporting its allegations." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Avalon organics (www.avalonorganics.com) makes wonderful shampoos and conditioners that smell great and help repel lice naturally. The rosemary, lemon, and ylang-ylang formulas are incredibly effective at repelling lice. You should use these shampoos all year long, but particularly at the beginning of the school year and following winter break, when lice outbreaks most often occur. If despite these preventative measures your child still comes home with lice, you shouldn't ever in any circumstance resort to toxins. Here's what Dr." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"I'm a huge fan of Aubrey organics, which sells a great line of all natural shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, makeup, and even baby and pet products. By using natural preservatives such as vitamin E and grapefruit seed extract, they avoid the addition of chemical preservatives. The following are the top ten synthetic cosmetic ingredients to avoid. Aubrey Hampton calls them the "10 most wanted"; I recommend visiting the site at www.aubrey-organics.com for more information." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Instead, look for organic products that have joined the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, such as the Body Shop, Burt's Bees, Kiss My Face, Aubrey organics, Avalon Natural Products, and Terr Essentials. Or visit thinkbeforeyoupink.org for a list of companies that produce products that are paraben and phthalate free. AVOID DARK HAIR DYES. As we learned when we went through Becky's day, women who use dark hair dye have three times the risk of developing lupus. SKIP THE NAIL POLISH. The European Union has been moving aggressively to remove phthalates from nail polish." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"While the regulations represented progress in terms of unifying the organic requirements and bringing organics closer to the forefront of consumers' minds, they also had negative implications for small farmers and food producers. The standards essentially boiled organics down to the lowest common denominator, making it difficult for farmers who already went above and beyond that level to demonstrate the superiority of their product. Even worse, the prohibitive costs associated with obtaining USDA certification made it impossible for many small organic farmers to label their goods "organic." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"There Are Safer Options Aubrey organics was one of the first manufacturers to abandon the use of the carcinogen DEA in its products. As Aubrey Hampton, director of that company, told me back in 1996: "None of our products perform less effectively because they do not contain DEA. There are many alternative bases available without DEA that can be used by cosmetic manufacturers. The removal of DEA does not pose a manufacturing problem to the cosmetics industry." DEA isn't an isolated example." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Choose brands such as Aubrey organics or Earth's Best to avoid unnecessary chemicals. California Baby (www.californiababy.com) and Weleda (www.usa.weleda.com) also make great organic personal-care products for babies. A great alternative to traditional baby shampoo is Jason Kids Only! Shampoo, which contains no SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). Some other bathing guidelines: • Use 100 percent natural products, unscented, dye free, packaged in recycled or recyclable packaging. Make sure soaps contain no synthetic chemicals." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Nature's Gate organics Fruit Blend and Erbaviva Organic ?"really do sop up wetness and leave you smelling sweet." (The journalists reached this favorable conclusion by applying the organic deodorants to themselves, working out on exercise machines, and then doing a "smell" test.) Japan is another of the fastest growing markets for organic products. As early as 1936, the company Kaneibo pioneered the use of organic ingredients when they used oils extracted from silkworm chrysalis in high-quality soaps." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"In addition, buy organics whenever possible to avoid pesticides that can be detrimental to a growing child's body. (For more on shopping and organics, see Chapter 8, "Shopping and Organic Buying Tips".) Suggestion #1: Avoid canned fruits and vegetables which have unnecessary sugars and salt. Replacement: Fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Choose organic whenever possible to avoid unnecessary toxins. Suggestion #2: Avoid white flour and white sugar breads, cookies, cakes, and other processed foods with little nutrient value." - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"Yet the USDA still refuses to crack down on companies deceptively using the word "organic" or "organics" on their products, and there are still no comprehensive U.S. organic standards nor any regulations specifically for certified organic personal care products. In March 2008, the OCA and Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps issued "Cease and Desist" letters to organic cheaters that had misbranded their products as "organic" on labels." - Samuel S.

"If you feel you absolutely need a sunscreen product because you are unable to avoid the direct midday sun, make sure it has mostly natural ingredients in them, such as Aubrey organics Active Full Spectrum Sunblock SPF 25. Still, it contains PAPA Ester. Other ingredients include: Titanium Dioxide, Coconut Fatty Acid Cream Base, Jojoba Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Aloe Vera, White Camellia Oil, Lecithin, Canadian Willow herb Extract, Aubrey's Preservative (Citrus Seed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E), Silica, Jasmine Oil." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"These may be totally natural or a combination of organics and nutriceuticals that are totally user-friendly and non-toxic. We recommend the USANA line of products. For further discussion of supplements, see Chapter 19. Fiber: How Much Is Necessary? The average American eats about 10 grams of fiber a day, although around 30 is recommended. Fiber is essential for gastrointestinal health. Uncooked fiber is like a sponge that absorbs toxins. Victoria Boutenko discovered in her research that wild chimpanzees, our closest relatives, eat 300 grams of fiber a day!" - Susan E.

"I went on Gary's protocol and learned the specifics of diet and organics, the biochemical necessity of green juices and grasses, the importance of attitude and beliefs. It was when I combined supplements with my diet that things began to look up. I honor myself, unclutter my life of people and objects, and share this important knowledge with others. I am alert, without past negative influences. Green and red powders keep me going. These are my happiest and proudest times. I intend to live another seventy years. TERRY I joined a support group in August 2000 and lost seven pounds quickly." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"These are some of my favorites: • Oskri organics (www.oskri.com) makes wonderful sesame-seed bars in a variety of flavors: molasses, date syrup and cumin, date syrup and fennel, molasses and fennel, molasses and black cumin, and fennel. Your child can start snacking on these bars, which contain brown rice and are very high in iron, from the age of four or five. Oskri makes lots of other naturally sweetened snacks that make great alternatives to the toxic candy bars most kids eat every day. • NuGo (www.nugonutrition." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "As a safe alternative, we like Jason organics for Wyatt. And for babies, I recommend getting a Tummy Tub from the New Zealand company Nature Baby (www.naturebaby.co.nz). It's the very best baby bathtub you can buy—deep and upright to give your baby the secure feeling of being inside the womb. The unique shape also prevents your baby from sliding. Other Bathing Tips: As I mention earlier, the tap water in our homes might be contaminated with any number of toxins, and we aren't just exposed by drinking the water—contact through bathing and showering is another concern." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This!

Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"As soon as they found out about organics, they made the switch. Keep in mind that toxins accumulate in your body. You wouldn't consider eating "a pinch of arsenic" on a regular basis. Cultivate the same attitude with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and all the more than 10,000 chemical additives in our foods. If Codex Alimentarius takes effect (in 2010), I would recommend that children and teens especially eat absolutely no food with pesticides. The toxic levels will become much higher than they currently are. Please see the Internet video clip "Nutricide" with Dr. Rima Laibow, MD." - Susan E.

"Public systems have to treat the water if organics are found, but they're required to test for only a small fraction of organics. The only way to find out for certain if organics contaminate your drinking water is to test for them yourself. These tests are more expensive than tests for other contaminants, such as radon and lead. Cost is one reason why neither government nor private agencies have launched massive programs to detect all organics in water." - Linda Mason Hunter, The Healthy Home: An Attic-to-Basement Guide to Toxin-Free Living (Get the book.)

"The EPA monitors contaminants in seven categories: fluoride, volatile organics, coliform and surface water treatment, inorganics, organics, lead and copper, and other interim standards. The total number of contaminants currently monitored is only 79. Waste and pollution create more problems than contamination of drinking water—they also affect our animal friends.
