I've really had to think about why I have chosen to work with Internet CEO Moms. Yes, our family needs the supplemental income after having to move to California from Wisconsin due to health issues.
There is, however, something that drives me further in my business. There have been so many incredibly increased health issues in children (and adults) since I was a young person. Thirty years ago, asthma and allergies were much less prevalent, hyperactivity, ADD, and ADHD were nearly unheard of, and cancer was scary but not nearly "expected" in a person's lifetime.
Did you know that in the early 1900's, only 1 in 300 women had cancer, when today it is 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will have cancer. Asthma and allergies are affecting the lives of millions and there are so many with compromised Central Nervous Systems and immune systems.
The difference? Well, my folks (in their 60's) were the first generation where bleach, ammonia, and eventually numerous other toxic chemicals (ex: phosphates, formaldehyde, etc) were normal in their household products. They are also the generation that has suffered like none before them. And children today? We're watching as very, very few of them are truly healthy.
There is formaldehyde (a known carcinogen) in most toothpastes, lotions, perfumes, shampoos and countless other every day household products we all use every single day. It's even in the leading baby shampoos. How can I not try to get this information into the hands of concerned families across America?
We hate it when people cough and sneeze on us, neglect to wash their hands, or scratch thier heads in near vacinity, but we think nothing of neglecting that fact that many of the companies we have trusted for years are knowingly using and promoting products that are destructive for their customers quality of life, just to save and make more money.
Does it bother you at all? Does it make you sick to your stomach to realize that in any given morning, before you and your children leave your home for the day, you have most likely used between 10-15 of these dangerous products? And often, you are spending more money to do so than you would spend if you switched stores to a company that refuses to poison their customers?
It has been hard to help people understand that the company I shop with is less about making money than the corporate companies (like Crest, P&G, and Johnson's), and more concerned about the health, safety, and freedom of those who shop with them. Most Americans are rather independent and we are becoming less and less trusting, but in our cynicism, we often miss out on how we can make a difference that matters for ourselves and those we love.
Want to know more? Put your information in at www.SwitchingStores.com/HealthyHome4All. Every day our family feels so blessed to have found a store that has our best interests in mind and can prove it. They have grown every year for over 24 years now. Why? They truly care. Their products are that good. They prove their integrity through their business principles. They guarantee their word and products. We have never been more impressed.
Please don't "let it go." Please don't refuse to look at this a bit more closely out of mistrust. This is an opportunity to change your health, help your family, better our enviroment, and save money.
