List of Natural Organizations and Articles List of major media articles and organizations devoted to educating consumers about the health risks associated with chemical exposure. Green and natural isn't about being some sort of neanderthal, hippy, toad-kissing, tree-hugging eccetric. It's about our health, it's about the health of our children and how poor health reduces quality of life. Infertility, asthma, cancer and other chronic illnesses have all exploded since the chemical revolution. There is *very* strong scientific evidence that the chemicals in consumer goods are the cause of the explosion in illnesses. The following major media articles and organizations show just how many sources there are to help educate consumers as to the risks of exposure to common household chemicals in everyday consumer gooods such as cleaning and body care products. If all this information makes sense to you and you would like to reduce the number of chemicals in your home, download a book today, or order printed copies, to reduce risk and improve health, quickly, easily and inexpensively, today. I know a lot of people think that either everything causes cancer or those of us who are rallying together against chemicals are just nuts. Were the nuts wrong about cigarettes? No. Were we wrong about mercury? No. Were we wrong about asbestos? No. Were we wrong about arsenic? No. Were we wrong about lead? No. We're not wrong this time either. It's your choice, the health of yourself and your family - your children. I hope you educated yourself to improve your life because life is a lot more enjoyable with fewer doctor appointments, drugs, emergency room visits and waiting in line at the drug store. Additionally, it's nice to have a whole lot more money that didn't have to go out on insurance co-pays, pharmaceutical co-pays, time off work to go to doctor visits. I used to be conventional and thought people who were natural were about half-crazy or paranoid. Then I tried it and really life a lot better healthy.
