Toxic Heavy Metals Found in Halloween Face paint!

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27  — Ghosts and goblins aren’t the only spooky things lurking around this Halloween. A new report by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics reveals that popular children’s face paints contain lead, a potent neurotoxin, as well as nickel, cobalt and chromium, which can cause lifelong skin sensitization and contact dermatitis.

Creepier yet, these metals were not listed on any of the product labels, so
parents have no way of knowing what children are really putting on their
faces.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a national coalition of nonprofit health
groups, sent 10 children’s face paints to an independent lab to test for heavy
metals, and also reviewed ingredient labels of Halloween products sold at a
seasonal holiday store. The findings, compiled in the report Pretty Scary,
include:

– Ten out of 10 children’s face paints contained lead ranging from 0.05
to 0.65 parts per million (ppm). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention recommends that parents avoid using cosmetics on their
children that could be contaminated with lead.

– Six out of 10 children’s face paints contained nickel, cobalt and/or
chromium, which are top allergens in children. The metals were found
at levels ranging from 1.6 to 120 ppm – many of them far exceeding
industry safety recommendations of 1 ppm.

– Snazaroo Face Paint, labeled as “non-toxic” and “hypoallergenic,”
contained some of the highest levels of lead, nickel and cobalt found
in the study.

“Parents should not have to worry that face paint contains lead and other
hazardous substances, and they have a right to know what’s in these products.

Clearly, companies are not making the safest products possible for children,
even though kids are particularly vulnerable to toxic exposures,” said Lisa
Archer, national coordinator of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics at the Breast
Cancer Fund.

“Lead and other hazardous chemicals have no place in face paints kids use for
dress-up and play on Halloween or any other day of the year,” said Rep. Jan
Schakowsky (D-Ill.). “Strengthening our cosmetics laws and providing ample
resources are essential to ensure the FDA has the authority and tools it needs
to protect the health of our children from chemicals in cosmetics.”

Candida and it’s effects

I got this info from a post at the Proxy Whore forum

Yeast (Candida) is fed by sugars, including those in carbs.

Please note that you don’t want to destroy the ‘good’ bacterial that belong in your GI tract (mouth to anus).

Candida albicans is a normal intestinal fungus. The problem with this yeast is when it is an overgrowth in the system.

An overgrowth of intestinal yeast can cause all sorts of problems/symptoms because it can escape the intestines and become systemic.

nail fungus~chronic
Fatigue~chronic
abdominal pain, gas, constipation, bloated belly, cramping and diarrhea
weakened immune system
vaginal and/oral thrush
sinus fullness and infections
jock itch
general skin rashes
joint/muscle pain~chronic
PMS
Fibromyalgia
Sexual dysfunction
asthma
headaches
urinary problems
clouded thinking and even confusion
food allergies
Acne~ any age
joint/muscle pain~chronic

MMS Skin Watch

My mom has had basal cell carcinoma twice once ten years ago and then ten years previous to that.  They were removed with no issues she had no spread of cancer and didn’t need any other treatment than removing the growths. The other day she had a spasm in a back muscle and while I was putting an icy hot patch on there for her I noticed a little area that looked abnormal.  So I grabbed the camera and took some macro shots.  There was one main area and one tiny area that was almost unnoticeable and one mole that looked odd to me.  When she looked at the photos she said they clearly are not currently basal cell carcinoma but may be a pre-growth. 

She decided this would be a good watch item for the MMS treatment.  She is currently working her drops up slowly and when she gets to full dose we will start putting MMS topically on these abnormal areas to see what happens.

She has been a nurse for over 50 years so you can be sure she is not risking her health in any way by waiting to see what happens with the MMS before seeing a dermatologist.

The biggest area it is close to the size of a dime.

It is hard to see that there are areas on the top of this mole that don’t look right.

Candida Skin Issues & MMS

I have been dealing with candida overgrowth for over 20 years now.  For about the last 15 years I have had these extreme issues with my skin.  At its worst I could lay in bed at night and just peel off skin left and right.  The pieces would be about the size of half of a dime.  Whether I did this or not my sheets would be filled with skin all the time and by the end of a day the inside of my clothes would be as well.  It covers my entire torso and up the back of my neck, with a milder version on face arms and legs that is not really noticeable to anyone other than me. 

I have used so many supplements over the years for the candida, but none did anything for the skin aspect of my symptoms and to be honest most just knocked back the candida far enough that I felt a little better (after the die off reaction).  I have used garlic, pau d arco, caprylic acid, lactoferrin, massive quantities of probiotics, fungal defense, oregano oil, citronella oil, black walnut hull, colloidal silver, and several others that I am not recalling at the moment. 

The most recent is Candex.  The Candex is nice because there are no die off symptoms.  When I take Candex (two at night, two in the morning) and stay on a very low carb diet (low enough to keep me in ketosis)  The skin condition starts to clear up in 8-12 weeks.  This is the only product, even in combination with diet that has accomplished this.  However if I start to eat enough carbs to be out of ketosis, even if it isn’t a lot (like 50 grams) the skin stuff comes back in about 2 weeks.  Candex alone without the diet restriction does nothing for the skin stuff.

When I heard about MMS I thought this is something worth trying, it is cheap too.  The Candex costs about 60.00 a month and still requires me to be on such an extreme diet that I can’t maintain it for more than a few months at a time.  My family started the MMS and we were working up in drops when my brother Randy hit the wall and got really sick. I hadn’t gone up in drops that day through a little serendipity.  I thought if someone in the family was going to get sick it would be me.  I know a thing or two about the herxheimer die off reaction, having been through it more times than I can count, in more than 20 years of attempting to wipe this stuff out.  The whole family decided to back off and create a much slower MMS protocol for ourselves.  Now I am on day 19 and am taking 6 drops.  I’m about ready to go up to 7 drops but I am also on the verge of starting my period so I may stay at six for a couple more days as I often don’t feel well the day before and the first day of my period.

These photos are of my skin a couple of days ago.  The light wasn’t wonderful but this is a little of what it looks like as it is dying out.  I purposely have not been eating low carb to see what the MMS could do regardless of my diet.  Considering the fact that I will not be at full dose of the MMS until I am taking 15 drops morning and evening this is quite impressive.  This stage normally occurs around week 9 (63 days) of Candex and extreme diet restrictions.  So at day 19 only (only 5 days of which I have been at the 6 drop level, which is considered just a maintenance level dose) my body is already this far along with no eating restrictions. Amazing!  It has also cleared more in the last two days as well.  Somewhere in my box of negatives I have some photos that were taken back in late 1999 or early 2000 that show it at it’s worst.  When I can dig them out and get them scanned I will post them for comparison.

So at this point in time I would say the MMS is doing it’s thing quite well and I am looking forward to reporting more great results.  I haven’t had any bad symptoms using the slow approach so things are looking good.

 

 

This one is from a year or so ago it wasn’t as bad as it gets but it shows better how it gets this patchy look.  As it clears and the skin stops shedding so extremely it will have these large red welt like areas that will then start to clear one patch at a time leaving areas of clear skin until it is finally all gone.
