Great Websites
(The weblinks are active and the green highlights are my personal comments!)Great Web Sites
Institute of Noetic Science- The Institute's work is dedicated to transforming contemporary worldviews on the relationship between consciousness and matter. The pioneering work of the noetic scientists gives us new understanding of how beliefs, thoughts and intentions affect the physical world. Again -- science catching up with ancient wisdom!
Miessence - Organic and Natural Enterprise Group (or ONEgroup) is an Australian based company who creates and manufactures the world's first Certified Organic skincare, haircare, personal care, baby care, health care and cosmetic products. ONEgroup's range of products stand in a class of their own by being independently certified to international food grade standards by some of the world's most respected organic certifying organisations, namely, Australian Certified Organic (ACO), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and IFOAM (Europe). Their stuff is so natural you could eat it -- but don't! I use a lot of their products and LOVE them!! Miessence has an extensive 'Toxic Ingredient' list worth taking a look at. http://earthglow.mionegroup.com/en/home
Campaign for Safe Cosmetics -is a coalition of women’s, public health, labor, environmental health and consumer-rights groups. Our goal is to protect the health of consumers and workers by requiring the health and beauty industry to phase out the use of chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems, and replace them with safer alternatives. Remind me why the FDA isn't requiring the health and beauty industry to phase out the use of chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects andother health problems. . www.safecosmetics.org
The Chemical Database sponsored by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Akron — this is so informative! Type in the name of any chemical you dare to know more about and up pops a concise, easy to understand overview of that chemical -- including known health hazards. http://ull.chemistry.uakron.edu/erd
Labelwatch - is the first and only informational website that compares the ingredients & additives in packaged goods for you. Whether it's canned tuna, pasta, salad dressing, or simply sliced bread, Labelwatch has the facts. With a growing database of over 25,000 name-brand products, Labelwatch allows you to compare all your favorite brands. And as a Labelwatch registered user, you can create a customized shopping list, made up of the best products for you and your family. I had a great time nosing around this site! The label info is color coded - green are healthy ingredients, gold are ‘ok' ingredients and red are bad ingredients. You can search by category, product name -- you can view ingredients, carbs, sugar, protein - everything!, and you can sort the results alphabetically or by ‘Smart Ingredients'. I love the ‘create a customized shopping list' tool. VERY HELPFUL site if you're tired of reading every ingredient of every product you put in your shopping cart! www.labelwatch.com
Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database - Skin Deep pairs ingredients in more than 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety. This is an AWESOME trove of information. You can search on a product, company or ingredient. The results are rated on a scale of how hazardous it is: low, moderate or high. Once I found this site, I spent HOURS on it! www.cosmeticdatabase.com
Vaccine Liberation - This site has an enormous amount of info on vaccines, including the forms you need to give to your child's school so he/she can attend without vaccines. The forms are listed by state so it is very easy to navigate. Few people realize that it is ILLEGAL for schools to require your child be vaccinated as a prerequisite to attendance. That's because pediatricians and school officials make it sound like not vaccinating our kids is the illegal part. www.vaclib.org
GetHuman - When you're tired of wasting money and time due to phone systems that require you to press 10 or more options in order to reach a real person and spending many minutes or even hours on hold, consult the GetHuman database of secret phone numbers and codes that immediately get an actual, live person on the line for customer service at nearly 1000 major companies. I just thought this would be a HUGE stress reducer! www.gethuman.com
