Do you think the cleaning products we use actually make us sick?

Yes they are toxic.  Many lysol products have the chemical ingredient that make up part of the compound Agent Orange that was used during the Vietnam war to kill the follage.  Many household cleaners are on the registered pesticide list too.  It is a know fact that women who stay at home are 50% more likely to develop breast cancer than women who work outside the home as they are exposed to more cleaning chemicals at home.  Also a product that kills 50% of lab animals is still considered to be non toxic.  By law, a manufacturer can develop a product with any kind of chemical ingredient if it is intended for use in the home.  Pretty scary isn't it?

Not yet.\n\n\nI carry sanitizing wipes with me to use when I use a buggy in a store and use one again after leaving. You touch a lot of things when you shop.\n\nI wash my hands often and try to stay away from crowds of people.\n\nNot a fetish at all.\n\nMy mother was diagnosed three years ago with a disease of her blood called TTP. You can look it up just by typing in TTP. Doctors said chances were she caught it by dirty buggies in stores. Learned my lesson then. \n\nIt is not just the flu, it is any disease that is transmitted by others touching things. \n\nYou never know what people around you have or have had.

Hand Sanitizers and anti-bacterial soaps actually cause more harm than good.  They remove beneficial bacteria along with the bad stuff, they can irritate the skin helping a virus or bacetria to get in, and they cause resistant, stronger bacteria.

Yes, vitamins (and other supplements, too, actually) can make you feel sick to your stomach.  Try taking them with food and if that doesn't help, scrap the "mega" brand and go with a lower dose.  Good Luck!

No, but I have had people try to give me the "breath of death".  Perhaps more people should brush regularly and use some mouthwash.

No.  And It WILL NOT boost your immune system. However, if you do not keep the humidifier clean, it will grow mold spores, which will make you very sick.

WASH YOUR HANDS CONSTANTLY!!! Like when you come back from like the supermarket or someplace like that. Don't touch handles on like bathrooms (wear gloves if nesassary). These are some of the most highly places for getting sicknesses. Supermarket shopping carts are the most germ ridden things ever. Be careful and stay clean.:)

Some women are just triffling at the work place and they put on this act at home like they're just the cleanest person you wanna meet. Believe me men are just as filthy. I worked janitorial at fed ex and every friday we found a seasels grocery bag with feces in it and it was unsanitary plus it made me quit. People claim they are afraid to catch AIDS well look around filth causes all kinds of deseases. I give your sister her props at least she's hanging in there. I just couldn't clean up behind two kids at home and then some man I didn't even know. Make sure you ware rubber gloves at all times and watch out for needles and blood. GOD BLESS

Talk about one of my pet peeves!  Not to mention it's really frightening to see people who know better (healthcare and food industry workers especially) not doing it!  I agree though, it's pure laziness.  There is always time to wash your hands.

too much of anything is bad, and that goes for enemas..my mom has been giving me cleansing enemas since I was a young kid, and still does, but only once or twice a month, using only one litre of warm soapy water...anything more would not be healthy according to her..

It seems as if there are some external sources making them sick- do you live in a wet environment? Are there signs of mildew on the windows or walls? Do you have pets, especially ones that tramp around in the weeds? Where do you and/or your husband work? Bringing in something on your clothes from work that may be toxic? What type of cleaning products do you use? Are you spraying their toys/room with Febreeze?- this has been known to be dangerous to animals! You need to do some serious research around your house and track poosible sources of toxins coming in or growing in your house.Not enough info for now, sorry. Allergy testing should rule out foods, but not environment.

Possibly- or you could just be trying to avoid all of the cold, flu, and stomach virus germs that are going around this time of year.  If you feel COMPELLED to repeatedly wash/wipe/sanitize and friends/family/co-workers seemed concerned about you, you might want to consider what your reasons are for doing this- you may need to talk to a medical professional.  On the other hand, this might just be a good way for you to avoid all of those pesky germs!

They stick a rubber hose up your backside and shoot water up you. It makes you sit on the loo for half a day and then you are "cleansed". I think that if our colons needed cleansing, God would have made us with a hose. Since he hasn't ... no cleansing for me, thanx.

Yes, it's disgusting to think about that. However, germs are everywhere, there's no avoiding them. Have you noticed though, that the most sickly children are the ones with the most neurotic parents, who make them wash up all the time, don't let them eat from anything, etc.? Maybe, as gross as it sounds, we really need to ingest all these germs, and that's how we build up a healthy immune system.

Both are terrible, but I think worse is the one who really takes time to pretend instead of using that time to actually wash away germs & bacteria.\n\nLord knows that this is a hot topic for me after ten years in a hospital setting.\n\nHave a good day, Dragon.  ♥

That is why I only trust on tap water from home with a system that would remove most or allchemicals and metals in the water. Others have bacteria and metals that make you become poisoned, damage your nerves or make you ill.

You could have eczema or possibly an allergy from foods, the type of laundry detergent you use, or maybe certain soaps and lotions.
