This toothpaste is pretty good and far better than most others assuming you have the fluoride free version.
The biggest concern in this toothpaste is SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) as it is inflammatory.
You may realize that harmful chemicals are everywhere in your home, your food, and in your environment. Let’s try to minimize such exposure as much as is reasonable.
This is an easy to use alternative to the dessert essence toothpaste. We find the Titanium Dioxide to be a low risk inflammatory agent (not inflammatory to most people), but other than that it is very good.
The main downside of this amazing tooth powder, is that it is a tooth powder…
You have to get some non dairy, organic yogurt, and sprinkle the powder onto the yogurt, then brush your teeth with that to get proper effect.
The probiotics in the yogurt help transmit the minerals from this powder into the teeth to strengthen them and even regrow them. It’s really an amazing thing, but not very convenient to use for most people.
Detergent is often overlooked in efforts to detoxify one’s home, however it is surprisingly important to address. Your skin comes in contact with remnants of these chemicals all day long and has measurable absorption rates.

One of the safest laundry detergents we can find that is mass produced.
Being aluminum based, we recommend you consider switching from this brand. There are all kinds of allergic responses which possibly can happen from aluminum exposure which makes up 16.3% of this product.
There is some debate which says it can affect mental clarity, increase risk of cancers, cause inflammatory responses of all kinds, interfere with kidneys and performance, but it is hard to say for certain. We however prefer being absolutely cautious and find using an alternative to be a better option than risk.
Skin sensitivity can be a strange experience, and also what people want in a deodorant can be different. Some prefer to stay absolutely dry, while others just want to smell nice. Because every skin responds differently, we cannot know what is ideal for you without you trying it out.
Pretext out of the way, we really like this brand and find it to work well and be the lowest toxicity we can find in a deodorant that actually works.
Deodorant / Antiperspirant Additional Notes
Aluminum Free, Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, Stearate Free as a general rule set.
We also prefer to let people sweat as it’s a natural detoxification process of the human body, but sometimes staying dry for work is more important than being your healthiest.
Again because each person responds so differently to deodorant/antiperspirant mixes, it’s just something you have to explore a bit on your own if our immediate recommendation doesn’t work out for you.
Vinegar is non toxic, but bleach is toxic. Use sparringly.
Dish soap leaves trace amounts and films of chemicals. Take a look at some of the toxins found in Dawn…

This is one of the most non toxic, mass production, dish soaps we can find.
An essential tool for detoxification, the FAR Infrared Sauna has many benefits beyond just detoxifying such as:
Assists Circulation
Relaxation
Fat Loss
Muscle & Joint Pain Relief
Deeper Sleep
Organ Stimulation
The skin is the largest toxin clearing mechanism in the body, and very few tools engage it as well as an Infrared Sauna.
When using the Infrared Sauna frequently you can get depleted on certain minerals your body needs. We recommend using Trace Minerals in conjuction with the Sauna for maximum benefit and the ability to use the Sauna more frequently.
We prefer this style of trampoline because of how easy it is on the joints. In order to clear the Lymphatic System you need to use G-Force as it does not have it’s own circulation system. If you can stand and bounce even for 15 to 20 Minutes Per Day, this seemingly simple tool has profound benefits.
Works best in conjunction with fiber to help sweep away the toxins that have been unsettled with minimal liver burden.
Xenoestrogens are one of the leading causes of breast and prostate cancers, as well as disruptors for nearly every system in the body. They can even affect DNA, disrupting the natural formation processes. Removing these toxic products from your house may seem like a lengthy process as they are everywhere, but the more of them you address, the better you will feel.
Once you do so, you’ll be amazed by how quickly your body recovers. A 2016 study conducted by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that the levels of parabens in the blood of teen girls dropped significantly only three days after the subjects switched from conventional cosmetics to natural products.
You can absolutely create big changes in your hormone levels simply by making wiser, more informed decisions as a consumer.
Approved Products
- Glass food storage containers and water bottles: Nonporous glass containers won’t contaminate your food with xenoestrogens.
- A water filter: Reverse osmosis is the gold standard, but there are many more affordable but still effective charcoal filters on the market. Ideally, get a filter that purifies water for the whole house. The water in which you bathe penetrates your opened pores, and estrogens in contaminated water can pass into the bloodstream at a much higher rate through the skin than by drinking. If you don’t have the budget to install a whole-house filter, start by getting a filtered showerhead.
- Organic pillows or for added protection considering getting a Silverite pillow for sleeping with.
- Natural household cleaners: There are several affordable lines of natural cleaning products available through mainstream retailers, such as Seventh Generation, which makes virtually every natural cleaning product you might need.
- Natural personal care products: Store shelves are starting to fill with personal care products that shun parabens, phthalates, and other troublesome chemicals. Natural grocery stores carry many of them, as does Target.
Unapproved Products
- Plastic food containers, water bottles, cling wrap, and cutlery.
- Styrofoam plates and cups.
- Fabrics, mattresses, pillows, furniture, and clothes with FIRE RETARDANTS.
- Conventional personal care products, including antibacterial soaps, hand sanitizers, cosmetics, shampoos, hair products, moisturizers, and anything with added fragrance not made from essential oils.
- Conventional household cleaners, including antibacterial sprays, chlorine bleach, traditional laundry detergents, and chlorine stain removers.
- Solvents, including rubbing alcohols, paint thinners, and nail polish removers (if you must handle any of these, wear gloves).
