Avoiding sulfates can save your skin and hair.

(NaturalNews) Sulfates are a group of detergents or surfactants that are used in countless consumer goods today. The most commonly used sulfates are sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). These corrosive cleaning agents started off as an industrial strength cleaning additive since they easily cut through heavily soiled surfaces.

It was around the 1930's when shampoo, soap, toothpaste and other foaming personal care products containing these synthetic detergents were introduced. They have remained in most commercial formulations ever since the public grew used to high-lather products.

Harsh surfactants strip the hair and skin of valuable moisture

The fact that SLS and SLES detergents produce such a heavy, thick lather is not a good thing when it comes to your skin, hair and mouth. This corrosive lather actually strips away precious moisture and protective barriers.

It also roughs up the cuticle of the hair, making it appear dull, dry and damaged. The stripping action contributes to increased porosity which makes for a dull appearance and more problems with frizz and manageability. It has even been linked to follicular damage and can potentially contribute to hair loss.

When used in the mouth, it has a similar effect by eating away at the outer layers of protective skin cells and irritating the tissues. Using sulfate-containing toothpastes has been linked to canker sores and other lesions.

Soaps and skin cleansers containing these detergents strip away the protective lipids (natural fats) that encase the skin. They upset the moisture balance of the skin and unnecessarily dry it out. The false sense of "clean" that these detergents give is really due to the fact that they are stripping our protective layers from our skin and hair.

If you live north of the 27th parallel you are low in Vitamin D!

Between October and April because of the angle of the sun it is physically impossible to get enough Vitamin D from the suns rays. A daily supplement of this essential vitamin is absolutely necessary.

Here are a few symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency:


Skeletal disease: Anyone taking calcium knows that you need to take it with vitamin D. It's needed because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains blood calcium levels to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent abnormally low blood calcium levels that can then lead to tetany. Adequate vitamin D levels can prevent bones from becoming thin, brittle, or malformed. It is linked with the prevention of osteomalacia, osteopenia, and osteoporosis.

Cardiovascular disease: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke. The anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D may be the reason for this.

Depression: The association between lack of sunlight and depressive disorders was first noted 2,000 years ago. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine production in the brain through vitamin D receptors in the adrenal cortex, as well as protecting against the depletion of serotonin and dopamine. 

These are just a few symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency, you can read more of this article here.

For a good dose of vitamin D here is a all-natural supplement that can help you.

A Natural Burst of Energy!

 This first-generation anti-aging drink helps the body fight the damages done to it by dangerous free radical molecules, toxins, and other environmental stresses.

The use of pollen is not unique to our modern world. The people of ancient China, Persia, and Egypt used pollen, collected from bees, for its remarkable health promoting benefits. Until recently, only bees, because of special enzymes in their saliva, have been able to penetrate the pollen husk and benefit from its contents. Thanks to modern, patented technology,flower pollen can now be raised and harvested in its purest, uncontaminated form.

Pollen Burst™ is made solely from harvested flower pollen that is far superior to bee pollen. Bee pollen is collected by bees from a variety of flowers, plants, and weeds near the hive. While doing its work, however, the bee contaminates this pollen mixture with molds, spores, and bacteria. Thus, it is impossible to produce stable, consistent, and clean pollen from this contaminated source. It should be emphasized that the major problem with bee pollen is not the pollen itself, but the collection, storage, and processing methods used by the bee.

Pollen Burst™ is created from pharmaceutical grade, pure organic flower pollen extracts to ensure the most powerful, full-spectrum, non-allergenic source of nutrition in the world today! Each packet of Pollen Burst™ delivers short term and sustained energy, along with powerful micronutrient support in just the form nature intended!

Pollen Burst Contains:

• Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), a powerful 

antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.

• Contains green tea extract and B vitamins.

• Promotes headache and joint pain relief.

• Curbs appetite.*

MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY:  I have been drinking Pollen Burst for the last 5 years and it really does give me a sustained energy boost and It doesn't make me feel jittery. It makes me feel really good.  It is the B Vitamins that are in it that gives me that good feeling!
