I have 2 cysts on my scalp that I suspect were caused by using a crew hairy styling product (for men) for years. I wanted to look like a member of a boy band because those were the images of attractiveness and desirability that they saturated our impressionable young minds with. They deliberately instill insecurity and inadequacy in us one the one hand by imposing impossible standards and then sell us their toxic products manipulatively marketed to make up for that sense of lack. In fact on even more fundamental and insidious level they first sell us the Big Lie that buying crap (or anything that comes from outside of ourselves, be it fashion and beauty products or drugs or whatever) can fulfill out genuine needs for esteem and love and meaning. It’s a (literally) sick yet highly profitable system. I now use only baking soda and ACV to wash my hair, never put any product in it, and wear an organic cotton beanie in the winter.
I sent your article to my sister because I know she and my niece use at least a few of the products listed. I'm going to have to make some changes too. Thankfully I've always chosen fragrance free, not that it's a huge difference. Thanks for this article, it was alarming but helpful.
We need to get SERIOUS about how the FDA operates and have them work for the people and not for the companies who are for profit while peddling poison. Maybe it’s time for a new alphabet to get the chemicals that other nations ban off our shelves? It wouldn’t be the worst thing to end disposable and have filling stations. Start emphasizing the other Rs like Reduce, Reuse, and Renew before we recycle.
The FDA cannot work in our favor because it is the spawn of a system that is designed to keep us separated from nature and in a fictional framework that gives us the perception of reality. Our body only needs real things, things we can get from plants. We also need to treat the soil (soul) as source. The way the system is designed keeps us un an eternal loop of fragmentation. Coherence cannot be achieved through profiteering nor hierarchy. Those two things are the media that brings about what we see today. The entire system is a chunk of crap. We need to discuss and develop new systems and we can do that while this putrid system goes on. New systems based on certain criteria will have the effect of being so good that they will make the current system obsolete.
Hence the need for better or a new agency. I do concur humans managed to survive for thousands of years before grocery stores and companies started bottling what generations of human knowledge gathered from nature. All these companies do Pharmaceutical included is synthesize nature, toxicify it then sell it as a convenience. It doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have accountably. Nor does it mean we shouldn’t demand as other nations who have universal healthcare have that things that are known to harm us should not be bottled and sold to us. Nor should we test on animals to determine their safety.
It does seem as though we are mostly in agreement.
I am encouraged by the new Congress entering soon and hope we turn a new leaf as a nation. We the people deserve products that don’t poison us or our water, soil, or air.
I hope we learned a valuable lesson lost on most people when Obama was elected. He said now more then ever do I need people and grassroots active and we went home and patted ourselves on the back. Allowing Mitch McConnell to stonewall any attempt he made at progress.
So let’s stay engaged and support the men and many women we just entrusted to represent our interests.
OMGourd, you still think that these muppets are going to be our salvation? How much hope did we have in Obama? And what did we get out of it? More lobbyists and the NDAA for starters.
Then there was Trump for some people he was the savior.
Then RFK Jr and for so many people, he was the savior.
There were many more, many. And none of them did anything but throw us a bone.
When are you going to realize they are just jerking you around?
I don't fill my head with these pedo's. We need to get busy building our own kind of systems that benefit the earth and humanity, that make the place safe for children and animals. Talking about the muppet show only says you are still in their vortex giving them energy.
You can't expect congress to do anything. Why? Because they are the ones that brought this about (of course with their handlers) All they need is your attention because while you're looking at them, you're not looking at us and yourself. So that's how they loot our energy.
Unlike you I have faith in humanity and an understanding of how systems work and how Mitch McConell played chess to stonewall Obama’s objectives. Me personally, I think RFK is a F$€king bumbling idiot.
I know how to lobby for good and have done so successfully and will continue too. This new Congress will not be the ineffective session we had under T2. It will compromise and collaborate to make progress. If those whose seats are up in 2028 remain beholden to corporate interests and turn a blind eye to corruption I have faith in the American people to show up and show them the door.
Jim Henson was a great man! The muppets had good handlers.
Sorry you’re so cynical and perhaps need to educate yourself more on how Congress works on a federal and state level. When people work together to create solutions to problems they must then check in to discover what unintentional harm was caused and work to correct that too.
It’s not just America that has had enough of our wars for corporate profits. Using our military for corporate Imperialism. Fair Trade is a label that makes the consumer feel good. The reality is first we send the missionaries. They create kings of the villagers. Now one family has power and wealth when they used to share. We introduced capitalism. Then comes the IMF and World Bank to loan them money for infrastructure so American companies can skirt the environmental and labor laws of America and go abroad to pollute and under pay a new work force and the people. We then prop up with money those who will support corporate and corrupt interests and seat them as decision makers in their own land. They are literally in debt to us after all and must pay back those loans.
People are staring to connect the dots. Look around the globe. The people are taking to the streets in over a dozen nations currently. What do they want? Better education, a livable wage and environment that is sustainable for life. Accountability for corruption and yes pedos.
So due tune in and be prepared to be delighted. The people are speaking. All around the globe. Hope is not lost expect for those who surrender to fear. The only thing I fear is willful ignorance. The people are educating themselves as to who and what has made the world crooked. So buckle up, we may yet see a beauty pageants dream come true.
There are so many local small companies in beauty products. I look for local small business brands because these businesses care about their products and what goes into their products. This is how you get rid of companies like Vanguard and BlackRock. Stop buying their products. I believe in boycoting evil corporations.
Does anyone have good products that they trust for hair?? I started Nutrafol very recently because I’ve made a big lifestyle change with food alongside being in Perimenopause, and I’m losing a lot of my hair.
Try this. Make a sludge of bentonite clay, rub through hair and leave for as long as you fancy. Rinse it out, let dry. Brush or comb. Do nothing else for your hair. See if this doesn't give all the cleaning and conditioning required. Of course, clean water beats tap water.
All these soap products are convenient ways to flush chemical waste down the drain. Mix chemicals that neutralize eachother and water them down in the shower. Let people pay top dollar with an illusion, belief, that it is healthy for them (i recently posted an article here on substack about Belief) so chemical plants earn big money while getting rid of their problematic chemicals
Yes 🙌
Do you use any of these brands? 👀

Yup… I don’t even use toothpaste anymore.. baking soda and peroxide 👍
The chemicals were exacerbating my aggressive Crohn’s dz, symptoms improved dramatically after I switched. (It’s cheaper too😸)
Ppl always compliment my smile too, it works very well.
Thank you Maddie❤️
Thank you, Maddie, for informing the public!

thanks for this? You’ve inspired me to make my own shampoo
This is great, but don’t leave us with no healthy alternatives… (double-negative, sorry.)
I’ll be doing another article about that. Didn’t want to make it too long.
YES!!! Please and thank you!!!
❤️
I don't know if it's got anything bad in it but Dr Bronners I feel is ethical.
Thanks!
Renpure is a decent brand. Unless there’s a spoiler message to follow that makes me dump those. I like them, for now.

I heard head and shoulders dandruff is also a bad one
Most definitely!
Don't worry. These giant corporations also started many lines of treatments, vitamins, ect to regrow your hair.
You should only wash your hair once a week, takes training, though. Use castile soap.
There are so many local small companies in beauty products. I look for local small business brands because these businesses care about their products and what goes into their products.

That's it.
Palestinian olive oil soap.
Its a thousand year old recipe.
It works beautifully on hair, body and even the dishes. It is what we use exclusively in our home for all of these purposes.
Added benefit: zero plastic waste.
And you are supporting economic agency for a free Palestine.
https://palestiniansoap.coop/
Do people in Palestine actually create these products?
Yes, its from the west bank.
there are only two factories left after others were destroyed.

I just reached out to them. Thanks so much!
Now this is talkin' my language. These soaps look excellent. Thank you for introducing them to us.

I'm glad that I topped using all of that shit long ago.....
