WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? Movie THRIVE is a Satanic Con
The 80+ Chemicals Detected in Febreze Air
Effects ...
Febreze Air Effectsis showcased as a technological odor
eliminator that will get you to breathe happily; as if it were
happy pills in a spray - even space age magic that scientifically makes
odors disappear, despite the fact that it kills no
odor-producing bacteria.
Febreze was heralded as phthalate- free.
Yet, an ingredient detected in it forms Bis(2-ethylhexyl)
phthalate, the metabolite implicated as a major cause of Sick Building
Syndrome.
There are additional red flags attached to the Febreze
product line, along with the fact that it has triggered brutal asthma attacks
and other adverse reactions. In fact, the severe reaction scenario was the sole
purpose for having embarked on an extensive research project involving
Febreze.
The
chemicals in fabric softeners are pungent and strong smelling — so strong that
they require the use of these heavy fragrances (think 50 times as much
fragrance) just to cover up the smells.
http://www.ehaontario.ca/help-with.htm The effects
of its toxicity are insidious; a user becomes "chronically maladapted" to it.
The exposure is so constant that it can be difficult to connect the product with
the signs of reactivity it causes. Neurostimulant/irritants and central nervous
system toxins used in these products are known to produce an addictive-type
response that may cause the user to experience a feeling of pleasure when the
product is directly inhaled. Regular users of fabric softeners (and perfumes)
also often claim they "can hardly smell it". This too is an effect of chemical
ingredients on neural receptors.
Even though the word "cationic"
begins its spelling with kitty's common namesake, that doesn't mean this element
is friendly to your feline friend's digestive system. The American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals indicates cationic (positively charged)
elements added to dryer sheets and fabric softeners can cause drooling,
appetite loss, oral burns and stomach pain in dogs and other
animals as well, but iseven more
dangerous for cats, whose digestive systems are much more
sensitive.
Common
Household Items That Can Make Your Dog Sick
Fabric Softeners and
other detergents: All sorts of household detergents are toxic to dogs at one
level or another, but fabric softeners fall into the highly toxic category.
Signs of toxicity include vomiting, lethargy, burns to the mouth, drooling,
muscle weakness, and even coma.
Just from poking around on "google," I found more
than 2 dozen sites where asthmatics complain about Febreze. I know I can't
tolerate it. I know my mom's neighbor used towels heavily dosed with Febreze to
wash off the drool of her beautiful Newfoundland dogs, and the dogs always ended
up dying in ways that vets couldn't explain: entire body systems would suddenly
shut down, including the desire to eat and the ability to pee and poop. (Which
is how poisons work, folks!)
But here is a site that has information from
the Environmental Working Group about Febreze. Apparently there are eighty seven
separate noxious chemicals and none of them sound too helathy.
As a
society, we will probably not have much TRUTH about these types of products, as
our news media is controlled by its station and corporate chain owners, all of
whom salivate over the earning they receive from the advertising monies that
Proctor and Gamble and other companies shower on them. Like our previous fight
with Big Tobacco, I don't think the public will become aware of the dangers of
these products until the ad money is cut off.
SACRAMENTO,
California, January 25, 2013 (ENS) – Procter & Gamble, makers of Tide
and Tide Free & Gentle detergents, has agreed in a California court to
reduce the levels of the chemical 1,4 dioxane in its laundry
products.
The Oakland-based nonprofit organization As You Sow filed a
lawsuit against Procter & Gamble for high levels of 1,4 dioxane in their
detergents without a warning label in violation of Proposition 65, the
California law governing toxic chemical exposure in consumer products.
Also
note that at one point, Time Magazine
managed to overlook these chemicals and instead mention to its large audience of
readers that the National [Resources] Defense
Council had found less pthalates in Febreze than in many other
household products. Talk about a nice spin on a dangerous product.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2011 –
The Defense Department joined the National
Resources Defense Council yesterday to roll out a new mapping tool
designed to help steer renewable energy development efforts to locations where
they won’t interfere with military activities or environmentally sensitive
areas.

Fabric softeners are designed to reduce static in synthetic fabrics.
They work by leaving a residue on the fabric that never completely washes out.
In fact, companies design these fabric softeners to BE tenacious and long
lasting in clothing, especially the fragrances. They even have a name for it:
"fragrance substantivity." ...
My grandmother knit my dd 4 cute little sweaters. She
handwashed them. Presumably she then spritzed them with Febreze (shudder),
packed up the box, and mailed them to me. They reeked.
So I washed them.
Three times. I hung them outside for four days. I took a token picture and then
packed them away until they fit her.
So they're about to fit her, 6
months later. And now they may possibly smell worse. I washed them again. The
whole load stunk and I had to re-wash the rest of the clothes. I washed the
sweaters again, this time using Bac-Out. I soaked them in a sink full of water
and baking soda. I soaked them in a sink full of vinegar. I soaked them in a
sink with 6 dissolved aspirin (I found this tip online - doesn't work for
this).
They still stink. My hands stink if I touch them. I can smell them
across the room. I would like to use these sweaters but I can not stand the
horrible odour. I hate Febreze.
Any advice? Drycleaning? Some
odour-removing laundry product other than Bac Out?
*** Febreze is
really freakin' hard to remove.
*** Isn't Febreeze vile? I do what you
do - repeated washings, vinegar, hanging outside. It will work eventually, but I
have to say in all honesty I've washed things to the point of visible wear getting the
damn.smell.out. How nuts is that?
*** Febreze has got to be the worst
smell, IMO!
*** I hate febreeze too... my MIL uses it and I always
think she is using pesticides or horrible hair product when I smell it. I ask
and she says... I sprayed Febreeze. Gross... how about cleaning instead if u
wanted to smell nice.
*** Urgh i hate the stuff. My Dh used to wear it
as deoderant, and use it to spray his clothes and sheets rather than wash them.
Pre me of course.
Tide's
Liquid Laundry Detergent (and its Free & Gentle version) also contains
1,4-dioxane. Although its maker Procter & Gamble reformulated its Herbal
Essences hair care line to strip out the chemical in 2009, it has yet to do the
same for the laundry detergent. ...
And lab researchers found a common fragrance ingredient
called galaxolide,another hormone disruptor that's previously shown it
can decrease a cell's defense mechanism against other toxic chemicals.
...
Galaxolide was also
detected in Febreze Air Effects ... As a cage is
full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become
great, and waxen rich. Jeremiah 5:27 KJV
Febreze
is classified as an air freshner, created by Proctor & Gamble. It reports to
work by "trapping" odor molecules in a donut-shaped chemical.
The first
thing that is really important to understand: the product does not remove
odor molecules and it doesn't clean the item it comes into contact
with.
The odor molecules are still there.
Your nose just can't perceive them because you smell the chemical product
instead.
That alone should be your first warning. We know
inhalation of any chemicals is dangerous, and several of its ingredients listed
below are known to irritate the lungs...but this is a chemical whose entire
purpose is to be inhaled!

At the end of 1991 the company was criticised for continuing
to pollute the Fenholloway River with up to 50 million gallons of waste water
each day from its cellulose plant in Florida. Fish in the river were being
contaminated with dioxin, and water wells in the vicinity were allegedly unsafe
to use. Amazingly, all this pollution was within legal limits but state
officials are said to be reviewing P&G's permit at the plant.
They
have been frequently accused of uneccesary testing on animals. Total animal use
is estimated at about 50,000 per year.In many cases human data on the substance
is already available .

I’ve written about changes I’ve made around the house after Isabella
experienced her first eczema
outbreak. Two household items that needed immediate action were my
laundry detergent and dryer sheets. These are the top recommendations when
talking to a doctor about what can trigger an atopic eczema outbreak. It was
initially hard for me to part with my Bounce dryer sheets because of years
enjoying that smell, but after researching just how harmful dryer sheets
are, I’m happy to have eliminated them from my house. Not only are they a skin
irritant…they are actually toxic! Parents need to think of these sheets as
rubbing chemicals on their family’s clothes.
I never stopped to think what, other than the
scent from the Bounce sheets, was being left as residue on our clothes. I
shudder to think that I used dryer sheets on my newborn baby’s clothes. Here
are some hidden ingredients: alpha-terpineol, benzyl acetate, camphor, benzyl
alcohol, limonene, ethyl acetate, pentane, and chloroform. Those words sound
like Greek? . . . well here are these ingredients potential
side-effects:
cause central nervous system disorders, headaches, and loss
of muscle coordination; irritate mucous membranes and impair respiratory
function; cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or drowsiness; cause liver or
kidney damage; cause skin disorders and allergic reactions; cause
cancer
Can't you smell that
smell?
