A Note About Faith


Personally, I have found that my faith has been vital to helping me overcome
sickness and disease - as it has for the thousands of people that we have helped
get well.

Being a Christian, it’s impossible for me to separate my personal beliefs from my


actions and lifestyle habits. As a researcher, I am intrigued to see how clinical trials
and science continues to uncover the role that prayer, positive thinking and faith
play in the healing journey.

My dear friend and Integrative Oncologist, Dr. Tony Jimenez often says that “cancer
is an emotional disorder.” The same can be said of all chronic, long-standing
disease like gut disorders, autoimmunity, arthritis, fatigue and insomnia.

It is with this in mind that I present to you the information in the Introduction and
scattered throughout this book where you will discover eternal truths that will pro-
vide you with hope, inspiration and may even shed some light on things if you are
willing to take a dive into the spiritual side of healing with me.

CHAPTER 1
Avoiding Chemicals in Body Care
& Cleaners
When we lather up in the shower or apply skin cream to our face, we think we
are using something that is healthy for us. Or at least safe. So for many of us, it
would come as a shock to realize some of the most toxic chemicals in our homes,
just dripping with known carcinogens, are hidden in our bathroom cupboards.

What is a Carcinogen?
Anything that leads to cancer is a known carcinogen. This could be drugs, energy,
or pollutants in the environment, additives in food or cosmetics, lifestyle factors
such as nutrition and physical activity, and even some medical treatments such
as radiation therapy. This may seem simple enough; however, it is not so cut and
dried.

Several authorities on the topic such as the World Health Organization’s (WHO),
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS) have delineated numerous carcinogen categories to assist consumers in
deciding exactly how potentially cancer-causing the substances in their food,
drugs, and cosmetics may be. (Scared yet? Not to worry—tips on easily avoiding
these known carcinogens will follow!)

THE IARC CHEMICAL CATEGORIES ARE:

⚫ Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans


⚫ Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans
⚫ Group 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans
⚫ Group 3: Unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans
⚫ Group 4: Probably not carcinogenic to humans

MASTERCLASS

8
THE IRIS CHEMICAL CATEGORIES ARE:

⚫ Group A: Carcinogenic to humans


⚫ Group B: Likely to be carcinogenic to humans
⚫ Group C: Suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential
⚫ Group D: Inadequate information to assess carcinogenic potential
⚫ Group E: Not likely to be carcinogenic to humans

As you may have already deduced, almost every substance tested falls in the
middle categories, Groups 2A, 2B, and 3, or Groups B, C, and D. Just over 100
substances ever tested have been listed as known carcinogens.

Other groups such as the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA)


and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) list only known or suspected
carcinogens and seem to be somewhat more rigorous—they have listed
significantly more carcinogens to the benefit of consumers everywhere, at least
250 substances.

Clearly the tests used to fit into these categories varies widely. The international
community has higher standards yet—many ingredients considered safe for
use in US cosmetics are banned in Canada, the European Union, and Japan. This
suggests the need for a closer look at the potential harm, the tests that support
safety, and the reasons other governments are protecting their citizens from
products we glibly apply to our bodies and our children’s bodies daily.

Until the standards in the US change, it is wise to do some research ourselves.


Any of the above ratings at minimum indicates the substance has been
suspected of causing cancer, and any rating that does not completely clear away
the doubt means it is too risky to continue exposing your body to potential harm
in exchange for the dubious benefit of smoother, more beautiful skin; shiny,
manageable hair; or really great-looking nails.

Why Are Known Carcinogens in Bathroom Products?
Does skin absorb enough known carcinogens to really matter? Actually, skin
is your largest organ, and it does absorb a lot. Absorbency is not really the
problem. Permeability is. Your skin is permeable, meaning it not only absorbs
substances it contacts, it also allows them through the skin and into other
tissues, such as the subcutaneous fatty layer. Because many known carcinogens
are fat-soluble, this presents a huge problem.

TRANSDERMAL DRUGS SHOW THE POWER OF DIRECT CONTACT

People are increasingly aware that skin is more like living fabric than living plastic
wrap. Doctors prescribe transdermal patches to distribute some medications
without stomach upset or to ensure a continuous dose over time, as the patient’s
skin will slowly absorb the medicine through all its layers and into the tissue
beneath. Unfortunately, beneficial medications are not the only substances that
can travel through the skin into the body. Harmful ingredients in anything we
touch may travel in just as readily.

FUMES & INHALATION

Skin is VERY absorbent and permeable, but it is not the only inroad for known
carcinogens in your body care products. Many contain fragrances and solvents
to help the fragrances become airborne, so you inhale them more readily. Lung
irritation is a real risk when considering body care ingredients. The lovely scent
you inhale may enter through your lungs, but cause inflammation throughout
your body.

YOUR CONTACT PASSED TO CHILDREN

If you are a mother, remember, what touches you touches your baby. Pesticides,
phthalates, and UV filters or other known carcinogens from sunscreens were
found in high concentrations in human breast milk from the mothers’ use of
cosmetics—many in concentrations above the “safe” limit for adults! This is just
what was found in the mothers’ milk, without the more direct connection the
umbilical cord would provide during pregnancy.

MASTERCLASS

TRY THE GARLIC TEST. DON’T JUST READ ABOUT IT AND TAKE MY
WORD FOR IT.

For a very quick, simple object lesson on the ability of the skin to open the
doorway into your entire body, take off your shoes and socks, and rub the sole of
your foot with a piece of garlic for a few minutes. Set a timer if you are curious.
How long does it take you to taste garlic in your mouth? The average time for this
test is 3 – 5 minutes. Garlic doesn’t have any penetration-enhancing ingredients
to force it deeper into tissue like many cosmetics, so most of them enter your
tissue even faster.

How Much is Too Much in the Human Body?


These ingredients are not in parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) like
pollutants in drinking water (See our favorite water filter for solving THAT problem!)
or preservatives in food—they are often the main ingredients. Even in products
that only use known carcinogens as a preservative or emulsifying agent, the
ingredients are present in much higher concentrations than we usually think. For
example, the lead in drinking water or the tocopherols in cracker packages are
in extremely minute quantities compared to the sodium lauryl sulfate in body
wash.

They are applied to our largest organ and one of our most porous organs—
our skin, and many are applied directly to our hands, face, and lips—ingestion
and absorption of cosmetics is a fact. (Hint – this is why topical application of
essential oils is so beneficial!)

Is it ever safe to apply a chemical believed to be capable of causing cancer to


your skin, and hope it does not penetrate in sufficient quantities to harm you?
When dealing with known carcinogens it seems common sense to err on the
side of caution but that’s not how large corporations think. Most substances are
cumulative if they have been adulterated.

Our bodies are designed to ingest, absorb, utilize, and excrete many beneficial
foods, drinks, and even body care aids without any detrimental effects. The
trouble comes when we alter natural substances too much—we want to preserve
ingredients beyond their pre-programmed time for decay, we want to make
colors brighter and scents more powerful, we want soaps to foam like a science
experiment, we want anti-aging creams to penetrate through our skin and work
miracles, we want shampoos to strip every trace of natural moisture from our
hair, and we want conditioners to replace the stripped oils with synthetic ones.

MASTERCLASS

11
All of these unnatural wishes yield unnatural consequences, and unnatural
consequences tend to be cumulative—that is, they add up in our systems over
time. It is difficult for our bodies to excrete the carcinogenic ingredients, and it
is difficult to heal the damage they cause—it all keeps adding up. Allowing your
body time to detoxify itself, or using essential oils to boost the detox process, can
be helpful. But minimizing your exposure and choosing healthier options is vital.

Many known carcinogens are fat soluble, so the protective hypodermis—the


subcutaneous fat layer—fails to protect us. Our skin’s innermost layer is a layer
of fat that protects us from thermal shock and other harm. Unfortunately, in
the case of fat-soluble carcinogens this protection backfires. If the ingredients
penetrate through the upper skin layers—usually with the addition of
penetration enhancers which are frequently fat-soluble—it is readily absorbed
into our own tissue where it does much unintended harm.

How much cancer do you want? How will you decide how much is too much
when considering exposure to known carcinogens? Is even a very small amount
of mercury acceptable in your child’s dental filling? How much formaldehyde do
you want to absorb? What is a tolerable amount of coal tar in your daughter’s lip
balm? Or how much cancer risk would you like to invite into your life?

Is the US the least-protected first world nation? The European Union (with Japan
and Canada not far behind) has banned over 1,300 cosmetic ingredients due to
safety concerns while the US has banned 11, not a typo; eleven ingredients are
banned for use in cosmetics in the US.

12 Known Carcinogens in Your Bathroom


1. FORMALDEHYDE – A WELL-KNOWN CARCINOGEN

Formaldehyde (and formaldehyde releasers such as: bronopol, DMDM


hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, and quaternium-15) is classified
as a known human carcinogen by both the IARC and the NTP. This is the product
used to preserve bodies for scientific research—how can it possibly belong
in your cosmetics? It is frequently included as a preservative in nail polish,
shampoo, hair conditioner, baby wash, body wash, facial cleansers, and eye
shadow.

MASTERCLASS

12
2. PHTHALATES – DANGER IN NEARLY EVERYTHING

Phthalates especially diethyl phthalate—feminizes American male newborns.


The emasculating effects of phthalates in otherwise healthy male infants,
including an irreversible decrease in genital growth and development, reduced
male hormone levels, and impaired adult sexual function, directly correlates to
the mother’s level of phthalates during pregnancy—a more severe effect than
exposure during adulthood. To make matters worse, maternal phthalate levels
during pregnancy also correlate with reduced IQ in children at 7 years of age,
even when levels are within safe limits.

Sources of phthalates include anything packaged in flexible plastic containers,


perfume, deodorant, hair spray, shampoo, soap, and lotion, as well as nail
polish and nail care products. Phthalates are also included in most fragrance
blends since the public is increasingly aware of the harm they cause, and since
cosmetic manufacturers are not required to list the individual ingredients in their
fragrance blends.

In addition, many infant care products, such as baby wash, baby shampoo, baby
lotion, diaper cream, and scented baby powder (with or without talc) increase the
urinary level of phthalates in infants. Phthalates are endocrine disruptors that
raise the risk of breast cancer in women, induce early puberty in girls, and cause
reproductive birth defects in newborn boys and girls.

3. PARABENS – KNOWN CARCINOGEN FOR BREAST CANCER

Parabens are a known carcinogen that have been found intact in human breast
cancer tumors. Even prior to the discovery of parabens’ link to breast cancer, it
was widely known that parabens in cosmetics readily penetrate skin. Parabens
used in cosmetics have been shown to exhibit estrogenic effects (i.e. feeding
estrogen-dependent tumors and binding to estrogen receptor sites, thus
increasing circulating estrogen levels) in breast cancer cultures.

Parabens are alleged to increase the incidence of female breast cancer, to


interfere with male reproductive function, and to stimulate development of
malignant melanoma. Estrogenic stimulation itself has also recently been shown
to encourage the growth of malignant melanoma, so parabens may feed this
cancer in multiple ways, as they demonstrate both estrogenic and androgenic
disruption, and are genotoxic, meaning they damage genes in such a way that
cancer-causing mutations form.

MASTERCLASS

13
Parabens lower sperm count and are associated with male infertility. Parabens
demonstrate similar hormone disrupting and carcinogenic activity in the
environment as they do in human health. Parabens alter maternal (and thus
infant) hormone levels during pregnancy. Parabens are used as synthetic
preservatives in cosmetics such as makeup, facial cleanser, body wash,
deodorant, and shampoo.

4. SYNTHETIC COLOR (FD&C OR D&C COLORING AGENTS)

Even the earliest versions of these artificial colors were based on coal tar, and
some more recent ones are petroleum derivatives. All lakes (FD&C Blue Lake 1,
for example) are processed with 2 forms of aluminum. By law, any coloring agent
of any nature with any ingredients (except the 11 cosmetic ingredients already
banned in the US) may bypass the regulatory process if the manufacturer claims
it is added for a purpose other than coloring.

Toxic dyes that are banned for food use are exempt from regulation if used as
hair dye despite the fact that the scalp is both more sensitive and more porous
than skin in general. FDA approved dyes have been proven to cause acute
illness in children since 1950. Due to the adverse effects of coloring agents listed
as safe, a law prohibited permanently listing any color as safe; however, that
practice has been gradually phased out, and now almost all colors including lakes
are permanently listed as safe meaning a huge legal uproar would be needed to
remove a listed coloring.

Each batch of approved color is tested for properties such as moisture content
and color density, but not for safety, except for approving some level of lead,
arsenic, and mercury—which along with other carcinogenic coloring agents
are allowed. Finally, the IARC lists several colors as suspected or probable
carcinogens, and ALL dyes metabolized to benzidine are listed as Class 1
carcinogens—substances proven to cause cancer in humans.

5. SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCE – KNOWN CARCINOGENS THAT TICKLE


YOUR NOSE

Synthetic fragrances are among the trickiest labeling problems to address. Due
to a legal loophole intended to allow manufacturers to protect their proprietary
blends, secret formulas, or trade secrets, the ingredients in a fragrance blend are
protected from the normal ingredient declaration requirement under the Fair
Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA). Fragrance blends and their secret ingredients
are strongly associated with allergic reactions and skin disorders.

MASTERCLASS

14
Some are listed as likely carcinogens. Fragrance blends can be found in every
type of cosmetic and body care product imaginable, and although fragrance-free
options are increasingly available, almost all body care products contain artificial
fragrance. The phrase “fragrance” on the label could be any one of over 2,000
chemicals and you’d never know it!

6. PESTICIDES – KNOWN CARCINOGENS FOR KILLING

Pesticides are commonly used in grass and weed killers. But did you know they
may be lurking in your favorite cosmetic and body care products?

Due to gross misuse of a conditional registration provision, many pesticides are


included in household products without completing the EPA’s required testing
process. In 2008, a watchdog group (the Natural Resources Defense Council)
called conditional registration into question. Here are some sobering facts: since
1972, approximately 90,000 pesticides have been registered, and over 25,000 of
them were granted conditional registration—more than 1 in 4 pesticides reached
market in nearly innumerable products without oversight of their safety testing,
if in fact, any testing was conducted at all!

In 2010, of the 16,000 pesticides currently registered and in use, 11,000


were registered conditionally. That is over 2/3 of the pesticides in use with
no accountability at all. Studies confirm the endocrine damage of pesticide
exposure, even at doses too low to produce acute symptoms. California EPA’s
Proposition 65 lists several pesticides as known carcinogens.

Pesticides are often present as contaminants in any product containing rice


(extracts, bran, starch, etc.), cottonseed oil or meal, corn and soy products of any
kind, and even oatmeal products. See toxic free alternatives for weed killers and
pest control that we use to avoid these chemicals.

7. TRICLOSAN (AND TRICLOCARBAN)

In addition to causing skin inflammation and contact dermatitis, triclosan also


a known endocrine disruptor, targeting thyroid hormone and reproductive
hormones. Studies suggest it can contribute to reproductive cancers, largely
through its estrogenic activity. Antibacterial agents, including triclosan, contribute
to resistance—that is, when we kill off 99.9% of the bad guys, the strongest, most
resistant 0.1% live on and reproduce, resulting in offspring with super-resistance
to our antibacterial chemicals. All this effort, it seems is for nothing, as no study
has demonstrated any benefit to using antibacterial washes, soaps, and hand
gels over ordinary soap and water.

MASTERCLASS

15
In fact, the WHO recommends hand-washing with plain soap and water as the
best preventive measure against communicable diseases and pathogens. The
FDA has decided to ban triclosan in hand soap; however, some still contain
it, and many other products do as well, so be sure your toothpaste, soap,
deodorant, and even gym wear does not contain triclosan or its relatives.

8. TOLUENE (TOLUOL, PHENYLMETHANE, METHYLBENZENE) –


SERIOUSLY POWERFUL TOXIN

Touene is one of the components in nail products that make your eyes burn, but
that minor irritation is the least of your worries. Toluene is a known carcinogen,
and a heightened risk of cancer is too high a price to pay for pretty nails. It also
targets the central nervous system (to the point of brain damage), can change
behavior and impair basic dexterity and memory, and cost you your ability to see
color even at “safe” doses!

A pregnant mother who simply breathes the fumes may cause reproductive
harm to her baby. Toluene is derived from petroleum and coal tar and is used
to manufacture benzene (another known carcinogen), and in nail polish, nail
treatments, hair coloring, and hair bleaching products.

9. PROPYLENE GLYCOL – HELPS TOXINS PENETRATE

Propylene glycol is a penetration enhancer, carrying other potentially harmful


ingredients deeper into skin and tissue layers than they would normally
penetrate. Propylene glycol has been shown to cause liver cancer, even if it
is only inhaled. It is associated with an increased risk of seizures in low birth
weight infants. It causes central nervous system depression and acute acidosis.
Propylene glycol has been shown to cause apoptosis, a cell-suicide mechanism,
in the central nervous system.

Propylene glycol toxicity is not uncommon in body care products and carries
a host of severe health consequences. In addition to direct risks of propylene
glycol, it is a sensitizer, meaning it makes the skin and surrounding tissue more
likely to react badly to other substances. Be sure to avoid propylene glycol in
sunscreen, moisturizers, lotions, makeup, and hair products.

10. ALKYLPHENOLS – KNOWN CARCINOGEN AND HORMONE


DISRUPTOR

These chemicals are often used in surfactants and in plastic manufacture are
xenoestrogens that contribute to greater risk of breast cancer. Other studies

MASTERCLASS

16
focus on synthetic alkylphenols as endocrine disruptors due to their hyper-
estrogenic activity. Indeed, endocrine disruptors are shown to be carcinogenic
and are implicated in many types of cancer.

Remember the BPA scare that resulted in the mass replacement of all things
plastic due to its endocrine disrupting, estrogenic, cancer- feeding activity?
BPA is just one of the alkylphenols, namely bisphenol A (BPA) which has now
been replaced with bisphenol S (BPS) which is just as estrogenic as BPA. Don’t
settle for BPA-free plastics—read labels to ensure any plastic you buy is entirely
alkylphenol-free.

11. SODIUM LAUREL SULFATE (SLS) / SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE


(SLES)

SLS and SLES chemicals comprise up to 50% of the volume of approximately 9


out of 10 cleaning and personal care products, so its effects are widespread. It
is added as a surfactant that greatly multiplies the foaming action of cleansers,
body wash, shampoo, baby products, and hand washes. Sodium lauryl/ laureth
sulfate damages skin, eyes, and lungs, and other internal organs.

SLS / SLES is also an environmental toxin, and SLS so reliably causes


inflammation that researchers frequently use it to induce acute skin and eye
irritation, allowing them to then test the healing efficacy of other substances.
Although SLS and SLES have so far evaded a listing as a known carcinogen by
groups such as IARC and the NTP, it’s material safety data sheets openly admit
it is mutagenic, meaning it damages DNA such that it can lead to cancer—not
exactly the same as carcinogenic (which means it directly causes cancer, but
close in that it can indirectly lead to cancer because the cellular damage is so
severe.)

The same safety data sheet also indicates a respirator should be worn when
handling SLS, it is corrosive to skin, and skin contact should be avoided. There is
controversy over the possibility that SLS can form nitrosamines when combined
with formaldehyde or 1,4-dioxane to make SLES since nitrosamines are listed as
known carcinogens.

12. SUNSCREEN CHEMICALS – SOME OF THE WORST KNOWN


CARCINOGENS

Sunscreen chemicals have a variety of label names from similar chemical families
– you might see benzenes, benzophenone, PABA, avobenzone, homosalate,
methoxycinnamate, oxybenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, and octinoxate.

MASTERCLASS

17
What we are seeing is that despite nearly universal use of sunscreens and the
presence of sunscreen active ingredients everywhere (including in human urine)
malignant melanoma continues to increase. Since this is the very condition that
sunscreens are purported to prevent studies have now been done investigating
the role of sunscreen active ingredients in this apparent paradox.

Findings show now that these toxic ingredients do actually increase reproductive
and developmental toxicity and disturbance of the hypothalamic-pituitary-
thyroid axis. Numerous researchers have investigated the use of sunscreen and
its correlation with incidence of skin cancer; their findings indicate that some
types of sunscreens can increase the risk of cancer. There’s a reason we make
our own sunscreen for our family!

The WORST Body Care Products in Your Bathroom


These products contain high levels of dangerous ingredients, contain some of
the most harmful carcinogens, or numerous known carcinogens, and offer little
benefit in return.

⚫ Nail polish and other nail products are far worse for your health—and
your daughter’s—than you may believe. They combine nearly every
known carcinogen listed above in one bottle—at minimum toluene,
formaldehyde, synthetic color, and many more. Even the 3-free brands (or
5-free, 7-free, etc.) contain numerous seriously harmful ingredients, many
of which have long been known to cause cancer. Now, more than ever, it
is important to send a message our young women that they do not need
to paint themselves to be beautiful, especially when so much permanent
endocrine damage is likely.
⚫ Sunscreen and sunblock—with estrogenic ingredients, preservatives
like formaldehyde, BPA or BPS in the bottle, and synthetic color and
fragrances, most of the available commercial, chemical sunscreens pose
significant risks. Add to that the fact that they may cause the very cancer
they are meant to prevent, and it only makes sense to seek non-toxic
alternatives.
⚫ Anti-bacterial hand washes, hand sanitizers, and cleansers are among
the worst, especially those marketed for use by children. They generally
contain Triclosan or a substitute, SLS/ SLES, phthalates, parabens, and
formaldehyde, and are packaged in bottles made of alkylphenols, BPA
or BPS. In addition, there is no evidence of benefit and are creating

15 Non-Toxic Ingredients to Try Instead


If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of poison all around you,
rest assured that there are safe, effective alternatives. The best news is that
many natural cleansers are multi-purpose, meaning the castile baby soap you
just bought to replace your child’s baby wash and shampoo can also be the
main ingredient in your body wash recipe, your shampoo base, and even a main
ingredient in your laundry soap, dish soap, counter scrub, and surface cleaner!

1. Castile soap—bars or liquid: replace almost any soap or cleanser with


castile soap alone or in recipes—gentle, safe, and effective.
2. Apple cider vinegar: this naturally occurring mild acid is great at cleaning
many things and is often used as a clarifying rinse.
3. Baking soda: Safe enough to use as a soak or scrub if diluted.
4. Borax? Yes, borax! Prior to the advent of commercial shampoo, most
women washed their hair with eggs or borax solutions.
5. Aloe gel—fresh or bottled: very soothing to skin of all types and ages;
aloe gel can replace many lotions and creams, alone or in recipes.
6. Witch hazel: a natural astringent, witch hazel is not as harsh as
commercial products with rubbing alcohol, yet still as effective.
7. Avocado: used alone, avocado is a luxurious moisturizing mask.
8. Food grade oils: can be used alone as healing cleansing oils or as carrier
oils in recipes to very convincingly replace commercial lotions and
creams.
9. Diluted essential oils: essential oils such as lavender, frankincense,
chamomile, neroli, rosemary, and oregano can be used for cosmetic or
healing properties in conjunction with many natural healing recipes.
10. Flax: soaked in water overnight, flax makes a great hair gel, and ground
flax is used in scrub recipes.
11. Bentonite/ French clay: historically, clay masks are a top clarifying and
detox mask ingredient for glowing skin.
12. Honey: very healing for the skin and helps promote probiotic activity and
reduce acne.

MASTERCLASS

19
13. Milk: has long been prized for its hydroxy acid; used in milk baths—at
least since Cleopatra made milk baths a famous beauty treatment.
14. Fruit acids: mashed, blended, or freshly juiced fruits are natural sources
of alpha and beta hydroxy acids; try lemon, apple, cream of tartar (from
grapes), or strawberries.
15. Cleaner, safer prepared products: Check with the Environmental
Working Group or other watchdog group for scorecards on better options
when buying body care items from the store to ensure you don’t become
the victim of greenwashing (false or misleading claims about natural or
green ingredients)! One of the companies we trust is Annemarie Skin Care
which uses only the best, non-toxic ingredients in their products. Try some
awesome sample kits by Annemarie Skin Care today!

If this seems like too much information, try to improve just one product each
shopping trip. You may feel compelled to get rid of all known carcinogens in
your products at once and replace them all today! If you’re convinced, go for it,
but don’t become overwhelmed. Every small change helps improve your family’s

CHAPTER 2
Avoiding Chemicals in
Laundry Products
Commercial laundry products are a chemical cocktail of harm to people, pets,
and the environment, and avoiding dangerous chemicals in laundry detergent is
a must as you look for ways to improve the health of your family and home.

13 Dangerous Chemicals
Laundry waiting to be washed is as perpetual as doing dishes—the seemingly
endless chore! However, your loads of literal dirty laundry are nothing compared
to the dirty laundry of harmful chemicals in laundry detergent.

And the dangers to your health… Let’s help these companies air out THEIR dirty
laundry. Following is a list of the most common harmful chemicals in laundry
detergent products.

1. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate & Sodium Laureth Sulfate/ Sodium Lauryl


Ether Sulfate (SLS/ SLES). A main ingredient in, and most common
chemical in laundry detergents as well as dish liquid, hand wash, and
shampoo, SLS and SLES are surfactants intended to remove soil and
as a foaming agent—they were originally developed as garage floor
degreaser. Unfortunately, they also inflame skin, eyes, and lungs, and
damage internal organs. SLS/ SLES is toxic in the environment as well.
SLS is so irritating, in fact, that researchers frequently use it to induce
acute skin and eye irritation, so they can measure other substances,
such as healing agents.
2. Phosphates. Phosphate exposure is linked to cardiovascular
disease, osteoporosis, and death from all causes in a general, healthy
population. Banning phosphates in detergents is a crucial step in saving
natural waterways from eutrophication—mineral poisoning that causes
high die-off of native marine animal species.

MASTERCLASS

21
3. Formaldehyde. Yes, the toxic chemical used to preserve dead bodies
is in many laundry products and dish detergents. Exposure, even at low
levels, from breathing or smelling formaldehyde increases your risk of
cancer according to the CDC. It has also caused spots of dying tissue
with regular exposure (necrosis), and an immune response consistent
with parasitic infection, an allergic reaction, or cancer. The EPA calls it
a class B1 probable carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) and says it
causes acute toxicity when in contact with skin.
4. Chlorine Bleach. It’s not surprising that bleach is a skin and lung
irritant, but most people do not know either how common it is in
laundry products or exactly how harmful it can be, not to mention,
many people add at least an additional cup to every load of whites. The
material data safety sheet from a major bleach manufacturer tells us
exactly how dangerous this substance is.

CHLORINE BLEACH IS DANGEROUS?

Chlorine bleach causes: severe caustic burns to skin and eyes, blindness,
pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs that restricts breathing), respiratory
failure, and more; use of personal protection equipment is required when
using bleach, including a chemical resistant apron, chemical resistant
gloves, safety goggles to protect eyes from fumes, and even air respirators!

This belies their cheery ads depicting completely unprotected models


happily pouring bleach in the direct vicinity of their toddlers.

5. Ammonium Sulfate. This laundry additive is so toxic, it’s


manufacturers recommend not using it indoors! In addition to
impermeable gloves, and eye and lung protection, the requirements
for use of ammonium sulfate include never allowing the chemical or its
empty containers to reach drains or waterways, and it is a category 3
oral, skin, and respiratory toxin.
6. Dioxane (1,4 Dioxane/ Diethylene Dioxide/ Diethylene Ether/
Dioxan). This laundry additive belongs as far away from your home
and family as possible. Its liquid and fumes can spontaneously
combust; it’s a known carcinogen (known to cause cancer since 1988);
it causes skin, eye, and lung inflammation (some irreversible); it should
only be used with protective gear including respirators; and once you
are exposed (via inhalation, skin contact, or eye contact including
fumes in your eyes), it targets the following organs: kidneys, central
nervous system, liver, respiratory system, eyes, and skin.

MASTERCLASS

22
7. Optical Brighteners/ UV Brighteners. Optical brighteners are
included in laundry detergents as stain treaters; however, they do
not remove stains at all. They coat clothing with a substance that
reflects visible light, so you can’t see stains; they are stain-hiders. In
addition, it is an eye, skin, and lung irritant; extremely toxic to aquatic
life; may spontaneously combust and cannot be in the presence of
static electricity—such as that from your clothes dryer; and correct use
includes safely discarding any clothing that comes in contact with it!
8. Ammonium Quaternary Sanitizers (Quats/ Synthesized Cationic
Surfactants). This cleaning additive, commonly known by teenage
food-service workers as “quat”, is known to be corrosive, and it should
not be in household cleaning products, as it causes eye, skin, and
lung damage. There’s no reason to include these chemicals in laundry
detergent.
9. Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (Nonoxynol, NPEs). In addition to many
warnings of harm to eyes, skin, and lungs, this laundry detergent
ingredient states that prolonged exposure to inhaled fumes or mist
may be fatal!
10. Fragrance (Unspecified/ Parfum). Manufacturers are not required
to list the ingredients of their fragrances because of a legal loophole.
Adding fragrance to detergent gives a false impression of cleanliness
without improving the action of the product in any way. The deception
goes much further than most people think—due to generations of
indoctrination by unethical marketing schemes, studies show that
women in particular choose products based almost solely on fragrance
even when the product is clearly demonstrated to be ineffective
at cleaning. Artificial fragrances are usually to blame in cases of
chemical sensitivity, allergic reactions, and rashes. Pulmonologists
almost universally recommend removing the artificial fragrance from
commercial products unless specifically sold as perfuming agents, as
our lungs are constantly inundated with harmful, unnecessary fumes.
Many are known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.
11. Dyes. Not only do dyes add no cleaning power at all, they are another
frequent culprit when unexplained allergies or rashes appear. Many
are proven carcinogens and almost all are endocrine disruptors.
12. Benzyl Acetate. This additive is harmful if inhaled or spilled on skin
and targets the kidneys and nervous system.
13. Dichlorobenzene (P-Dichlorobenzene/ Benzene). Benzene has
an immediate, highly toxic effect on aquatic life that can continue
poisoning the watershed for years to come. The fumes cause optical
damage, and it is listed with a carcinogen warning for humans.

Safer Alternatives
Your laundry chore is not going away, so one popular option is to look for better
modern detergents—detergents with safer and greener alternatives to the
dangerous toxins. Always choose a detergent with plant-based surfactants that is
free of phosphates.

Since detergent manufacturers are not required to list all their ingredients,
consult an organic watchdog group for a list of what is actually in there before
you buy. Some also publish a list of known-good brands you can safely use for
clean clothes and a clean conscience. We also make some recommendations of
healthy products our family trust and use here.

New and improved clean, green laundry detergent options:

⚫ Refills from a company dedicated to truly safe products (think of the


plastic you’re not wasting!). We love MyGreenFills for our laundry product
needs.
⚫ Homemade soap/ milled laundry soap (Mama Z has an essential oil based
laundry detergent recipe as well as a natural stain removing DIY).
⚫ The vinegar thing is REAL, but only if you wash daily and pre-treat stains
(just vinegar, no soap or detergent required).
⚫ Safer commercial detergents can be found if you carefully investigate.
⚫ Free and clear commercial detergents are NOT green cleaners! They are
the same dye and fragrance laden product with added ingredients to HIDE
and MASK the fragrance and/ or dye!

Note: Some of these soap-based laundry detergents may leave a residue on


clothing if used incorrectly, but it is nothing like the residue from commercial
toxic detergents. Any of these methods in combination, or alone will prevent or
correct buildup: add washing soda, baking soda, or borax to the wash cycle and
add vinegar or citric acid to the rinse cycle.

NATURAL BLEACH ALTERNATIVES

⚫ Lemon juice + sun + time = natural bleach. I love adding lemon essential oil
to my natural laundry detergent recipe for essential oil cleaning power.
⚫ Diluted hydrogen peroxide works great, but unlike lemon, do not let it sit
in the sun, as it may damage fabric. Keep a squirt bottle handy to spot
treat before washing rather than treating an entire load.

MASTERCLASS

24
⚫ Pre-soak stains in an oxy-boost or enzyme stain remover from
MyGreenFills prior to washing.

SAFE FABRIC SOFTENERS WITHOUT HARMFUL CHEMICALS

⚫ Baking soda in the wash and vinegar in the rinse is perfect for many
clothes.
⚫ Line dry for a fresh scent when the weather permits.
⚫ If machine drying, try wool dryer balls or a couple balls of foil with or
without essential oils.
⚫ Essential oils for scent—add some to a spray bottle with water and mist
the inside of your dryer or mist the clothes on the line.
⚫ If your water is hard, you may find that washing with rain water or adding
a water softener eliminates the need for fabric softener.
⚫ Many people say that washing laundry with saponin plants requires no
fabric softener.

Other Non-Toxic Household Cleaners


Ever get a headache or sinus attack while walking down the cleaning aisle at the
store? Yeah, me too… Sadly, a vast majority of cleaning products are filled with
toxic chemicals that contribute to indoor air pollution and have been linked to
allergies, headaches/migraines, cancer, autoimmunity and more.

Truth be told, the best way to protect you and your family is to DIY, but I
understand that you don’t always have the time to make your own. Neither do
we.

That’s why I am thrilled that MyGreenFills has released a whole new line of
cleaning products with the same commitment to safety and attention to earth-
friendliness that they put into their laundry care. Everything is truly clean – no
fragrances, dyes, fillers, formaldehyde, triclosan, ammonia, chlorine, or other
harmful chemicals.

We just tried them all and can proudly say that they are exactly what we were
hoping for (and more). Everything about MyGreenFills is #nextlevel and truly
clean. Best part, they put together a sweet deal for us to fit anyone’s budget with
the Natural Living Family. Try their new household cleaner line also:

MASTERCLASS

25
1. Shop Stain & Odor Eliminator – By now you probably know how we feel
about synthetic air fresheners and deodorizers. They can house some of
the most toxic chemicals in your home cupboards with hidden VOCs and
phthalates. This new product is perfect for gym bags, kids’ rooms, musty
carpets and more.
2. Shop Heavy Duty Degreaser – Stoves and ovens can build up grime
and grease, but that doesn’t mean you have to turn to toxic cleaners
like standard oven cleaners. These often contain butane, sodium lauroyl
sarcosinate and DEA. Make the switch and you’ll have the best of both
worlds – highly effective and truly clean.
3. Shop Glass Cleaner – Most glass cleaners are highly toxic and have
chemicals like ammonia which can damage your respiratory system. The
new cleaner from MyGreenFills are the perfect alternative. You get a glass
bottle and small refill pouches so things ship as earth-friendly as possible.
4. Shop Everyday Cleaner – Countertops, wall smudges from kids playing,
and more it seems every surface of the home needs a touch up at some
point. This multi-purpose cleaner if so effective but has no solvents or
toxic chemicals. More than that it’s sent in concentrated, eco-friendly
packaging to save you money.

We have used MyGreenFills products for years and are so excited that they’ve
expanded into additional cleaning products. Make the switch now and make sure
2020 is the year you eliminate toxic chemicals from your home!

Note About Traditional Laundry Cleaners


Commercial detergent is a modern invention, ergo, there are very viable
alternatives from world history. Dangerous chemicals in laundry detergent aren’t
required to clean clothing.

As the millennial generation reaches adulthood and begins establishing families,


many more informed consumers are choosing to let history teach valuable
lessons about safer, more natural cleaning methods. Obviously, this is not
limited to millennials—previous generations have also gained life experience and
many people of all ages are no longer comfortable using harsh cleaners to clean
house.

Historical options vary by culture and time period, and many are useful and
viable today. So, if I don’t want to use dangerous chemicals in laundry detergent

MASTERCLASS

at my house, what are my choices? (Also known as, “I just know there will be a
mutiny at my house if I stop buying Laundry Pods?)

⚫ Homemade lye soap. Whose grandma didn’t wash with lye soap? Lye
soap boasts generations of effectiveness and safety, and it is an excellent
stain pretreat product for all other natural laundry methods.
⚫ Sal soap. This is a homemade or commercial lye soap with baking soda
or washing soda added during processing. It is a standby for effective
cleaning as the added soda softens hard water and magnifies the power of
the soap to equal or exceed the cleaning power of detergents.
⚫ Baking soda. Simple, safe, and natural—you can’t beat baking soda for
basic, gentle washing needs. It is perfect for baby clothes (but remember
to pretreat stains as needed).
⚫ Washing soda. This soda is more caustic and more powerful than baking
soda, making it a great product for anyone who wants a safe, simple wash
routine, but has doubts about baking soda’s effectiveness. It’s one of the
ingredients in my natural laundry detergent recipe and it works very well
against stains.
⚫ Borax. Another naturally occurring soda, borax has been used for
centuries alone or as a booster for other laundry products. It brings a lot
of non-bleach whitening power to your wash day without harming colors
or darks. Use borax to replace oxy-cleaners or on its own.
⚫ Saponin plants, such as soapnuts, horse chestnuts/ conkers, and
soapwort/ bouncing bet. Just soak fresh or dried raw material in water
overnight (then strain) for an excellent, effective laundry liquid that will
keep for up to a week. Many people gather their soap plants once a year
when they’re in season and dehydrate them for use throughout the year.
⚫ Vinegar / lemon water. Both will clean clothes effectively if used daily—
the clothes can’t sit more than 24 hours before being washed with this
method. However, it’s natural, so harmless that you can literally drink it,
and so abundant that you can make it in your own kitchen out of scraps.
Note: vinegar washing will not fade dark clothes, but lemon washing may.
⚫ Boiling water. Kills pathogens. Very important for cloth diapers or if
anyone in the house has been ill. Boiling also significantly softens clothes
by breaking up and washing away residues.
⚫ Fuller’s clay. Widely used to wash clothes and people in ancient Middle
Eastern regions. Your children will love the idea of washing with “clean
mud”. Great for hair, too. Rinse thoroughly.

MASTERCLASS

27
⚫ Water. Yes, even plain water all by itself will clean almost anything.
Remember from science class that it is the universal solvent? Pretreat
stains, especially with this method.
⚫ Floral waters. Cleans as well as water, but with a lingering, light, natural
fragrance.
⚫ Airing, sunning, and brushing. Almost every pre-1950s culture practiced
this method either between other washing methods or as the sole
method.

Note: Many people are returning to use of soapnuts, horse chestnuts, bouncing
bet / soapwort, and other saponin-producing plant methods out of concern
for the environment and their health to minimize harmful chemicals in laundry
detergent. However, please use a product that is relatively native to your area, as
the sudden popularity and mass export of soapnuts to the US and other Western
countries has made them prohibitively expensive in their native growing areas—
an unintended social injustice.

CHAPTER 3
Avoiding Artificial Fragrances
As science continues to scratch the surface of how artificial fragrances are
destroying our health and indoor air quality, a common question we get is, “How
are air fresheners bad for you?”

One of the first things you do when you step into your home after a busy day
running errands, is take a deep breath. Heave a big sigh of relief and relaxation.
But… what if that “ocean breeze” or “linen fresh” scent you are inhaling from your
fragrant home decor is actually hurting you?

Let’s see what the research says…

More and more unscented, fragrance-free, and free-and-clear products are


commercially available as the public becomes increasingly aware of skin
irritations and allergy symptoms associated with highly scented personal care
and cleaning products. However, the problem goes deeper than the minor
inconveniences on most consumers’ minds.

How Are Synthetic Fragrances Monitored?


The lack of oversight in the US fragrance industry leaves the public open
to massive exposures to a barrage of potentially deadly chemicals. We are
surrounded by household cleaners, laundry products, air fresheners, sunscreen,
shampoo, soap, body wash, deodorant, body lotion, makeup, facial cream, skin
toner, serums, exfoliating scrubs, and perfumes—all with unnamed artificial
fragrance blends.

Around 4,000 fragrance ingredients are disclosed on the International Fragrance


Association (IFRA) transparency list, and many of them are known to cause
serious health problems such as cancer, respiratory difficulty, and hormone
imbalances. This means that the word “fragrance” on a label can be any one of or
a combination of over 4,000 ingredients!

Something else that causes concern is the concentration of artificial fragrances in


enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation, including most vehicles and offices,

MASTERCLASS

29
and many homes; modern homes are designed to be as airtight as possible. They
are designed for comfort, cost-effectiveness and convenience, not health and
wellness. This may save on our utility bills, but it exacerbates the issue of indoor
air pollution from artificial fragrances (as well as other sources).

No Labeling Required

Unfortunately, due to a legal escape clause, manufacturers are not required to


individually list the ingredients they include in their fragrance blends. Originally,
this law was meant to allow perfume manufacturers to protect their proprietary
blends as trade secrets.

Thus, the ingredients in a fragrance blend are protected from the normal
ingredient declaration requirement under the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act
(FPLA). In fact, the FDA is not charged with regulating labeling at all—only with
overseeing the chemicals that go into the products.

Fragrance free products cannot contain any artificial fragrances or fragrance


masking ingredients. However, they may contain ingredients that impart or
mask a fragrance, and they may contain ingredients listed by IFRA as fragrance
ingredients if the manufacturer claims they were included for a purpose other
than fragrance.

SNEAKY LABELING OF HARMFUL FRAGRANCE CHEMICALS


One example of this practice is including the very carcinogenic phthalates as a
fixative, thus bypassing the need to admit there are synthetic fragrances in the
product or to list phthalate as an ingredient.

Unscented products do not elicit any discernible scent; however, this in no


(technical) way means that it does not have synthetic fragrance ingredients. In
fact, a product labeled “unscented” usually has at least one synthetic fragrance
added to mask the unpleasant odors of the active ingredients, surfactants, or
cleansers.

Watch out for any product with the following words on the ingredient label:

⚫ fragrance
⚫ perfume
⚫ parfum

MASTERCLASS

30
⚫ aroma
⚫ flavor
⚫ unscented (usually)

In fact, by using any of these words in the ingredient list, the manufacturer
is boldly proclaiming that they refuse to disclose the actual ingredients to
consumers whose health is at stake.

What Are They Made Of?


When asking are air fresheners bad for you, consider the toxic chemicals
involved! Fragrance blends may contain solvents, stabilizers, UV-absorbers,
preservatives, and dyes as well as any chemical that imparts or hides a scent,
including:

⚫ carcinogens
⚫ respiratory irritants
⚫ endocrine disruptors
⚫ neurotoxins
⚫ allergens
⚫ environmental toxins

How Fragrances Cause Harm


Synthetic chemicals on the fragrance list have been shown to wreak havoc on the
human body. Any of the following health problems may be a result of exposure
to artificial fragrances. Are air fresheners bad for you? See the symptoms that
can result from exposure.

ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA

Many people are allergic to specific fragrances, and a few people with multiple
chemical sensitivities (MCS) react very badly to nearly any synthetic fragrance.
This may be as minor as coughing, sneezing, and inflamed eyes or as severe as
anaphylactic shock. In any case, these allergy symptoms are meant to tell you
that your body is trying to expel and reject the substance, and bigger internal
damage is afoot.

MASTERCLASS

31
Synthetic fragrance overload is also implicated in many if not most instances of
childhood asthma and in adult recurrence of childhood asthma.

CANCER

Many fragrance ingredients in popular use are listed by the World Health Organi-
zation’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and other au-
thorities as known or probable human carcinogens. Our society must question
why we are willing to literally torture and kill ourselves for the sake of pleasantly-
scented body care and cleaning products. This is not a new question—some of
the ingredients such as formaldehyde have been known carcinogens for de-
cades.

CONTACT DERMATITIS

Possibly the most common complaint caused by artificial fragrances, acute or


chronic skin irritation is not as minor is it may seem. Inflamed skin becomes
more porous, and it allows product to penetrate in far greater quantities and
with far greater speed than healthy skin.

Human skin is not like living plastic wrap which nicely separates each ingredient;
it is more like living fabric, allowing fragrance ingredients to absorb into the skin
layers themselves and to penetrate through the skin into the subcutaneous fatty
layer and the blood stream, and thus to circulate throughout the body.

DEPRESSION

Especially in people who are highly sensitive to scents, these chemical blends can
alter brain chemistry, resulting in increased incidence of depression and/or panic
attacks.

MIGRAINES AND OTHER HEADACHES

A very frequent presenting symptom of neurology patients is persistent mi-


graines or cluster headaches with migraines or cluster headaches with no known
cause. Many doctors actually track the particular scents, and scented products
that are most likely to cause problems for their patients.

Plug-in style air fresheners often top the lists, with fabric softeners, laundry scent
crystals, and specific perfumes or colognes not far behind. If you find yourself
suffering from frequent headaches, eliminating artificial fragrances may help!

MASTERCLASS

32
NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS

Some fragrance-related illnesses are quite serious; in addition to cancer, some


fragrance ingredients are capable of causing neurological damage and harm to
the central nervous system. Examples of neurological disorders include brain
damage, some autoimmune disorders, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease,
and seizure disorders. Clearly for this type of damage to occur, the exposure
would have to be excessive, and/ or long-term.

RESPIRATORY DISORDERS

Acute breathing difficulty is not uncommon upon exposure to synthetic fra-


grances even in minute quantities, and they can also cause long-term respiratory
harm. At high exposures, some can cause respiratory failure, that is death by
asphyxiation.

The material safety data sheets (MSDS) of many fragrance ingredients recom-
mend use of a respirator when handling the chemical because the manufactur-
ers are well aware of the pulmonary risks. Our pursuit of unnatural odors is
literally strangling us.

VERTIGO, DIZZINESS, AND NAUSEA

These symptoms are early warning signs of chemical overload that is harming
the nervous system. Don’t ignore what you body is telling you – learn how to see,
and avoid, these harmful chemicals in your home. When looking to relieve nau-
sea symptoms or treat dizziness naturally, look to eliminating unsafe fragrances
from your home as a first step!

Harmful Chemicals In Fragrances


These harmful chemicals are often used as synthetic fragrances. But look at the
known harmful effects of these dangerous scents. Then ask yourself how are air
fresheners bad for you? So many ways!

PHTHALATES – A COMMON SCENT INGREDIENT

Due to the ubiquitous presence of phthalates, including use in fragrances and


fragrance-free products everywhere, most people are far more exposed to
phthalates than they think, and children’s exposure may be 20 times the safe

MASTERCLASS

33
limit. Phthalate overexposure in American children begins long before their first
use of scented baby soap.

Maternal phthalate levels late in pregnancy have emasculating effects on other-


wise healthy newborn boys including irreversible reduction of genital growth and
development, diminished levels of male hormones during adolescence, and im-
paired sexual function during adulthood, and all of these effects are more severe
for boys and men exposed to phthalates in the womb than those exposed during
childhood or adulthood.

There is evidence of reduced IQ among 7-year-old children whose mothers were


exposed to phthalates during pregnancy, even when the levels were within safe
limits. Most scented baby care products, including baby wash, shampoo, lotion,
diaper cream, and powder, raise the infant’s urinary level of phthalates.

They are linked to hormone imbalance, reduce sperm counts, reproductive


and genital malformation, breast cancer, liver cancer, diabetes, obesity, autism,
ADHD, and neurological disorders. Phthalates are found in almost all body care
products (around 75% that list “fragrance” as an ingredient), and many house-
hold cleaners, including some unscented and fragrance free products.

ACETALDEHYDE – A DANGEROUS PERFUME

Acetaldehyde is used so frequently in the fragrance industry that perfumers


describe its distinctive fragrance notes as “aldehydic” in their marketing copy.
Unfortunately, numerous agencies have listed it as carcinogenic, meaning there
is compelling evidence that it’s use may cause cancer. It is responsible for signifi-
cant damage to the kidneys, lungs, nervous system, and reproductive system.

BENZENE GROUP OF CHEMICALS (ANNULENE; BENZOL; BENZOLE;


BENZOLENE; BICARBURET OF HYDROGEN)

Benzene and its many relatives have long been known to cause leukemia and
other cancers. It is derived from toluene, another known carcinogen. It is a re-
spiratory, developmental, reproductive, and environmental toxin, yet it is among
the most common fragrance ingredients used.

FORMALDEHYDE – A SERIOUS CARCINOGEN

Formaldehyde has long been recognized as a human carcinogen. This is the


same toxic chemical used to preserve frogs in biology class and to keep cadavers
from decaying for scientific experiments.

MASTERCLASS

34
SYNTHETIC MUSK (TONALIDE; GALAXOLIDE; MUSK KETONE;
MUSK XYLENE)

Synthetic musk causes cancer, is linked to increased rate of breast cancer, and
is a known endocrine disruptor. One form of synthetic musk is detected in the
blood of at least 95% of women who seek specialized care for endocrine dysfunc-
tion. Synthetic versions of musk accumulate in human tissues, and are found in
human breast milk, body fat, and umbilical cord blood.

DICHLOROMETHANE AND (METHYLENE CHLORIDE)

Dichloromethane is listed as potentially carcinogenic by the IARC and the NTP. It


is also implicated in breast cancer, and it is one of only 11 ingredients considered
so toxic that it is prohibited by the FDA. Almost unbelievably, it is still used in
fragrance blends.

STYRENE (ETHENYLBENZENE; VINYLBENZENE; VINYLBENZOL; STY-


ROLENE; STYROL; STYROLE; STYROPOL; STYROPOR; STYRON; CIN-
NAMENE; CINNAMOL; PHENETHYLENE; PHENYLETHYLENE; PHENYL-
ETHENE)

Styrene is shown to cause lymphoma, leukemia, and other cancers. It damages


the central nervous system, red blood cells, and the liver.

1,4-DIOXANE IS A TOXIC BY-PRODUCT

1,4-Dioxane is usually present as a contaminant or byproduct of other compo-


nents, so it is rarely listed on ingredient labels. However, it is highly toxic, is asso-
ciated with birth defects, and is listed as a known or possible carcinogen by most
authorities.

MYRCENE (Β-MYRCENE; BETA-MYRCENE; 2-METHYL-6-METHY-


LENE-2,7-OCTADIENE; 7-METHYL-3-METHYLENE-1,6-OCTADIENE)

This fragrance ingredient is still widely used in fragrance blends despite a conclu-
sive 2-year study that demonstrates it causes liver and or kidney cancer in every
class tested. It was nominated for testing by the National Institute of Environ-
mental Health Sciences (NIEHS) because it is in high production, has a high level
of human exposure, is chemically similar to another known carcinogen, and is
used in food and drink as well as numerous body care products.

MASTERCLASS

35
ETHANOLAMINES (MEA; DEA; TEA; ETC.)

Ethanolamines readily form nitrosamines when used in products with specific,


common preservatives. Nitrosamines are listed by both the IARC and the NTP as
potentially carcinogenic while the California EPA lists several ethanolamines as
known carcinogens.

Alternatives To Avoid Harmful Air Fresheners


By now, you may be concerned about ever again using anything that smells nice,
and rightfully so. But are air fresheners bad for you if they don’t include these
harmful chemicals? Good news! Here are some safe, effective alternatives to all
the toxins and carcinogens in synthetic fragrances.

Homemade Air Freshener – Use your favorite brands of essential oils to create a
heavenly room spray.

Synthetic chemical fragrances are frequently detected in products claiming to
use only natural fragrances, so read labels carefully and do your homework.

It’s so easy to get tricked by the pleasant scent we’ve been trained to look for in
our laundry, cleaners, body care products, and other household items. But more
often than not, these fragrances are harmful and aren’t what we need in our
homes for us or our family.

God says in Scriptures that He breathed into us the breath of life. The last thing
we want is to be breathing death into our homes with dangerous chemicals and
fragrances.

Living the abundant life can be as simple as making simple changes in your life’s
routine. Start with a switch to God-given fragrances from natural sources.

An Interview With The “Air Doctor”


In this Web Class, I present Healthy Home Expert and product inventor, Peter
Spiegel, who reveals the hidden dangers lurking within our indoor air and offers
simple solutions for breathing clean, pure air in your home.

MASTERCLASS

Importance Of Clean Air
Without doubt, pure air is the #1 determinant of health. Followed by water and
then food. Just think about it. You can live for several days without water, a cou-
ple weeks without food. But, without air, you’ll suffocate in just minutes.

Truth is, we consume a mass, ton of air (infinitely more than the water that we
drink and food that we eat), but a vast majority of people are more concerned
about their diet, supplement & exercise regimens and neglect the air that they
breathe… innocently allowing toxins into their body at an uncontrollable rate.

It wasn’t until we completely detoxed our house and cleaned up the air in our
home that we finally knew what health really was.

⚫ Seasonal allergies disappeared.


⚫ Inflammation, aches and pains vanished.
⚫ Brain fog cleared up.
⚫ Unexplained symptoms like itching, allergies to airborne particles and Can-
dida overgrowth resolved.
⚫ Literally, our health (and lives) transformed within weeks.

If it weren’t for Air Doctor, I don’t know what we would have done. We have two
units in our home and our air quality improved instantly. In just a few hours, we
couldn’t detect any mold or foul smell in the air and our health soon followed……
Because we fell in love with the product, we met with Air Doctor and discussed
how we can give YOU (our Natural Living Family) a “group buy.”

Indoor air pollution is caused by a combination of particles like pollen, dust, pet
dander, mold spores and smoke combined with ozone, invisible gases and vola-
tile organic compounds which are emitted by building materials, furniture, car-
peting, paint, cleaning and personal care products.

This is a recipe for a health disaster – and we can personally testify to how pol-
luted air almost devastated our health.

Polluted air has been linked to:

⚫ Birth defects & infertility


⚫ Autoimmunity
⚫ Cancer

CHAPTER 4
101 Essential Oil Uses
Knowing the concepts of aromatherapy and enjoying the 101 essential oil uses
for your home is key to living a clean, healthy and abundant life! But don’t worry,
you don’t have to have a full cabinet of essential oils at home to get a wide –
extremely wide! – range of uses. Some of the most gentle and effective essential
oil uses are also the most versatile.

Lemon, lavender, and peppermint are three of the most commonly purchased
and used oils out there. Aside from some caution against using peppermint
directly on small children, all three of these oils are known as extremely safe and
effective for most of the population.

Essential Oil Uses for Freshening Up


1. Add lavender to an alcohol or vinegar spray for refreshing linens and
creating a bedtime ambiance.
2. Put a couple of drops of lavender essential oil or lemon on a cloth in the
closet to remove stale odors.
3. Make a lavender spritz to spray the “monsters” away at bedtime – they’ll
be relaxed and ready to snooze!
4. Freshen up an old mattress with a lavender-peppermint or lemon spray,
or add the oils to baby powder or baking soda and sprinkle it on before
adding sheets.
5. Wash towels with some lemon to freshen up that stale towel smell.

CHAPTER 5
Air Purfication
When we started researching the best home air filter system after discovering
toxic black mold in our home, it became obvious that the Air Doctor Pro was
the best home filtration option on the market. And not just the best in terms of
healthy air quality, but the best overall (including price!).

Then, as I learned more about the proven dangers of most air fresheners and
commonly found VOCs from toxic off-gassing and dangerous cleaning products,
I became convinced that EVERYONE (not just people with mold in their home)
needed an air filtration systems in their home.

Helping people enjoy pure, clean air quickly became part of our Natural Living
Family mission as we continue to help provide non-toxic, chemical-ree solutions
to everyday life. True, diffusing essential oils has therapeutic benefits and they
smell great, but they don’t remove pollutants from the air in your home. That’s
the difference with Air Doctor Pro!

Importance of Clean Air


Without a doubt, pure air is the #1 determinant of health. Followed by water,
and then food. Just think about it. You can live for several days without water, a
couple of weeks without food, but without air, you’ll suffocate in just minutes.

Truth is, we consume a mass, ton of air (infinitely more than the water that we
drink and food that we eat), but a vast majority of people are more concerned
about their diet, supplement & exercise regimens and neglect the air that they
breathe… innocently allowing toxins into their body at an uncontrollable rate.

We find ourselves spending even more time indoors than ever, but the air we
breathe inside our homes isn’t as clean as you might think. In fact, indoor air can
be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the EPA.

So what’s making our indoor air so polluted?

A combination of outside contaminants like pollen, smoke, and dust and internal
pollutants like dander, dust mites, and off-gassing from furniture are often

MASTERCLASS

47
to blame. But that’s just the beginning. There are a whole host of chemical
pollutants that we introduce into our air from cooking, cleaning and even
burning candles or using fireplaces.

Most people don’t even realize that many of their symptoms – like eye, nose,
and throat irritation, frequent headaches, nausea,wheezing, sleep troubles and
irritability – can be caused by indoor air pollutants. The need for clean air at
home has never been more clear.

Truth is: having an affordable air filtration system like Air Doctor is not only
important, but vital for vibrant, abundant health!

Why We Love Air Doctor Pro in Our Home


For us at the Z-Household, it wasn’t until we completely detoxed & house and
cleaned up the air in our home that we finally knew what health really was.

⚫ Seasonal allergies vanished.


⚫ Inflammation, aches and pains disappeared.
⚫ Unexplained symptoms like itching, allergies to airborne particles and
Candida overgrowth went away.
⚫ Brain fog cleared up.
⚫ Literally, our health (and lives!) transformed within weeks.

If it weren’t for Air Doctor Pro, we don’t know what we would have done. We
have FIVE units in our home and our air quality improved instantly. In just a
few hours, we couldn’t detect any foul smell or mold in the air and our health
soon followed…… Because we fell in love with the product, we met with the
“Air Doctor” and discussed how we can give YOU (our Natural Living Family) a
“group buy.”

Don’t take our word for it. Here is just one of the many testimonials we have
received from our Natural Living Family community:

I used to suffer from terrible allergies that caused severe facial swelling & eczema
on my face and neck every year from spring to fall. I’m allergic to the mold and
fungus that grow naturally where I live. I bought three Air Doctors based on your
recommendation this past spring and haven’t had the first symptom and it’s been
7 months! I have one in the family room, my bedroom and basement and I am a
big believer in Air Doctor! ~ A.G.

We have a whole-home system moving air in our home. In fact, we have more
than one HVAC system because we have more than one level in our home. But
we still have FIVE Air Doctor Pro units in our home – one on the main level and
one in the basement of our home. Air Doctor is different from other purifiers
because it not only captures the smallest most dangerous particles like smoke,
bacteria and viruses, but it also captures toxic gases and VOCs (Volatile Organic
Compounds)– some of the most common forms of indoor air pollution.

⚫ Air Doctor’s UltraHEPA Filter has been independently tested to capture


100% of airborne particles at 0.003 microns in size—that’s 100 times more
effective than HEPA
⚫ Air Doctor also has a substantial activated Carbon VOC Filter that captures
toxic gasses like formaldehyde, ozone, and off-gassing from furniture.
⚫ Air Doctor has also been tested by a third-party lab and proven to remove
99.99% of a range of tested bacteria and viruses and mold spores.
⚫ Air Doctor also has great features like a professional-grade Air Quality
sensor and Auto mode setting that detects the air in the room and
automatically adjusts the filtration levels. The Auto mode gives us the
peace of mind knowing our air is as clean possible around the clock 24/7

Air Doctor Review: How It Works, Features & Benefits
Most air filters you pick up at home improvement stores don’t protect you
from air pollutants because they only remove particles before the air flows
into the HVAC units. Air Doctor Pro uses multiple filtration levels in an air-tight
system. The Air Doctor Pro’s CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) is 326 – higher than
competitors with even a much higher price point. It removes particles yes, but
also volatile organic chemicals, gases, and toxic ozone. Also, you’re getting not
just one filter, but also a dual-action Carbon/Gas Trap/VOC filter for odor and
VOC control. The benefits of Air Doctor ‘s proprietary system include:

⚫ UltraHEPA™ Filter captures 100% of airborne allergens and pollutants at


.003 microns including dust, mold, pet dander, smoke, and more.
⚫ Dual-action carbon, gas trap, and VOC filter system which removes
dangerous ozone, volatile organic compounds, and toxic fumes.
⚫ Change filter alert – one of our favorite features, the unit tells you when it
needs a new filter so you never have to guess.
⚫ and more…

An Interview with the “Air Doctor”

Favorite Air Doctor Features


One of the features that you’re going to fall in love with is Air Doctor Pro’s quiet
fan. Also, the filters last for a long time. Whereas our HVAC units need monthly
filter replacement, Air Doctor Pro filters last for months. One of the favorite
features of our Natural Living Family community members is the auto-mode.
Instead of remembering to turn it on and off, or guessing at the level of filtration
needed, the Air Doctor Pro automatically adjusts itself based on the amount of
air pollutants it detects. When the air quality is good, it will run on low fan speed
and you’ll see a blue indicator light. When the air quality has a higher level of
need the fan automatically speeds up and the indicator light changes to orange
and then to red. Yikes! This means that any pollen spikes, dust from cleaning, or
backyard shed emergencies will be automatically accounted for and cleaned up
by the Air Doctor Pro.

A WORD FROM OUR CONTENT DIRECTOR

We raved about Air Doctor Pro so much that Angela, our content
director, got a unit of her own. Here’s what she has to say: “We’ve
been rebuilding our home after experiencing some flooding
in our house. It’s been a long process but the new paint, mold
remediation, and sheet-rocking has made a lot of dust and VOCs
to contend with in our home. As soon as we plugged in the Air
Doctor Pro the light on the auto-sensor was red! Not good!

Now the light is blue, our air is so much cleaner, and my oldest
son with sensitive respiratory system is no longer coughing
chronically. The air that comes out of the unit smells amazing –
like walking through a lush forest amazing. I love my Air Doctor
Pro and I’m so glad I took Dr Z’s recommendation and got one!“

FAQs
Q. WILL USING AN ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER IN THE SAME ROOM AS MY
AIR DOCTOR CLOG OR RUIN THE MACHINE?

A. No. According to Air Doctor’s inventor and thousands of hours of personal


experience, the VOCs and water being diffused in ultrasonic diffusers will not
clog or ruin the machine. Keep in mind that only 4-6 drops of essential oils
are used in most aromatherapy diffusers, and the particles being emitted are
microscopic and they are being dispersed over the course of a few hours. This
mist being emitted will not damage your Air Doctor unit.

Q. WILL USING AN ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER IN THE SAME ROOM AS MY


AIR DOCTOR REDUCE THE AROMATHERAPY EFFECT?

A. Yes, slightly, but not enough for a noticeable effect. As an illustration: diffusing
essential oils in a room with the windows open will permit some of the VOCs
to escape out of your house, though that shouldn’t prevent you from using a
diffuser and trying to get fresh air in your home. Just be sure not to place your
diffuser right next to an open window.

Similarly, because some of the VOCs being dispersed by your aromatherapy


diffuser will get filtered out of the air by the Air Doctor, we recommend that
you separate both devices by several feet of space. Ideally, you’ll place your Air
Doctor and aromatherapy diffuser at opposite ends of the room.

Note, diffusing certain essential oils may trigger the Air Doctor to turn yellow or
even red at times, but there will still be ample of VOCs in the air to benefit your
health and to freshen up the smell in the room that your diffuser is in.

Q: WHAT IS CADR?

CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate, and it is standardized system for
reporting the effectiveness of a particular air purifier in removing smoke, dust
and pollen from the air. The higher the number the more effective the air purifier
will be.

MASTERCLASS

57
Q: WHAT IS THE CADR FOR AIRDOCTOR?

AirDoctor is independently tested by Intertek laboratories. The smoke CADR for


AirDoctor is 326, the dust is 343, the pollen is 373. When operated with the Gas
Trap VOC filter, which removes pollutants in gas state (VOC’s) and restricts the air
flow by about 10%, these numbers are reduced by about 10%.

Q: WHAT IS ULTRAHEPA™?

HEPA is an acronym for High Efficiency Particulate Air. These filters are designed
to capture particles that is 0.3 Microns. UltraHEPA™ captures particle down to
0.003 Microns. That is 100 times smaller than regular HEPA.

Q: DOES AIRDOCTOR HAVE AN AIR IONIZER?

AirDoctor does feature an Air Ionizer which can be turned on or off, as you
choose. Air Ionizers can help remove particulates, microbes and odors from your
room, leaving it smelling fresh.

MASTERCLASS

58
Q: HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHANGE THE FILTERS?

How long the filters last depends on a couple of different factors. Specifically,
the quality of the air in your home AND how many hours per day you operate
your unit. Based on the air quality in the average home in the United States and
Canada and 24/7 operation, the Gas Trap VOC filter should last 6 months and the
UltraHEPA™ filter should last a full 12 months before they need to be replaced.

If you operate your AirDoctor for only 12 hours per day, then the Gas Trap VOC
filter should last 1 year and the UltraHEPA™ filter should last a full 2 years before
they need to be replaced (in homes with average air quality). We recommend
that you leave your AirDoctor set to Auto, which will allow your device to adjust
automatically, based on the filtering needs inside your home.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE FILTERS?

Your AirDoctor comes with an automatic sensor which notifies you when it’s time
to replace each of the two filters mentioned above. (Note: There is also a 3rd
pre-filter, which can be easily removed and washed. With proper care and under
normal operating conditions, this filter should not need to be replaced.

Q: I CHANGED MY FILTER, BUT MY CHANGE FILTER LIGHT IS STILL ON.


HOW DO I RESET MY CHANGE FILTER INDICATOR LIGHT?

To reset your Change Filter indicatory light, press the AUTO and DIM buttons
together for 3 seconds. The CLEAN FILTER light flashes 3 times and then turn off
completely, indicating the unit has been reset.

Q: HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY DOES AIRDOCTOR USE?

AirDoctor consumes 11 watts on the low setting and 95 watts on the high setting.
While utility costs vary across the country, AirDoctor costs about $30-40 per year
to run on Auto-mode 24/7.

Q: DOES AIRDOCTOR CAPTURE MOLD?

AirDoctor captures mold spores. However, mold spores in the air usually mean
that there is a mold somewhere in your house. You should make sure to find the
source and get rid of the root of the problem with professional remediation, if
necessary.

MASTERCLASS

59
Q: HOW MUCH DO THESE FILTERS COST?

Both the Gas Trap VOC filter and the UltraHEPA™ filter are available for $59.95
each, plus shipping and processing.

Q: HOW LONG IS AIRDOCTOR™ WARRANTIED FOR?

AirDoctor™ comes with a one-year limited warranty. Filters are consumables and
are not covered under this warranty.

Q: WHY HAS THE FAN SPEED ON MY AIRDOCTOR™ CHANGED BY ITSELF?

If you have auto mode selected, it might have detected polluted air, causing
AirDoctor™ to increase the fan speed in order to clean the air faster.

Q: HOW MUCH SPACE WILL THE AIRDOCTOR™ COVER?

The AirDoctor™ is powerful enough to filter the air in a 900 sq. ft. room three
times every hour and a 450 sq. ft. room six times every hour.

Q: HOW MUCH DOES AIRDOCTOR™ WEIGH?

AirDoctor™ weighs approx. 18 pounds.

CHAPTER 6
EMFs & Electrosmog
Harmoni Pendant is a personal EMF-protecting device that has been an answer
to prayer. To know that we are safe (wherever we go) is pure peace of mind.

Yes, we have a whole-house EMF-Blocking system, but what worried us was when
we left the home – especially when we travelled!

With the current concerns around electromagnetic frequencies, and 5G right


around the corner, EMF protection is something that’s been weighing heavily on
my mind. Once 5G hits, it’s going to be inescapable, and protecting yourself from
your devices will provide only minimal support.

My concerns around these issues have only grown in the past year, and I began
searching for a solution to protect both myself and my family. That’s why when
I came across the Harmoni Pendant, it felt like an answer to a prayer. There are
a lot of EMF protection devices out there, but many of them are either incredibly

Importance of EMF Protection


EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are everywhere in your environment being
emitted from your favorite electronics (cell phones, laptops, iPads, etc.) as well as
the ever-pervasive WiFi that surrounds you no matter where you go.

These frequencies cause disturbances to your own electromagnetic field (that’s


right you have an electromagnetic field as well) and may exacerbate health
imbalances like fatigue, brain fog, stress, and more.

That’s why when you go into a doctor’s office for an X-Ray, you have to wear a
protective shield around your body. The difference between X-Ray EMFs and the
EMFs that are polluting our airwaves is that X-Ray EMFs are “ionizing,” while EMFs
from electronics are “non-ionizing.”

MASTERCLASS

62
Ionizing EMFs have known effects that can damage your DNA– hence the
protective wear. Non-ionizing EMFs, on the other hand, are not as strong as
ionizing EMFs, so they aren’t taken as seriously.

The problem is, non-ionizing EMFs can still contribute to health imbalances, and
they’re much more pervasive in the environment than ionizing EMFs.

In fact, research suggests that EMF exposure may be associated with health
concerns such as:

⚫ Abnormal cell growth


⚫ Nerve cell damage
⚫ Infertility
⚫ Oxidative stress
⚫ Immune dysfunction
⚫ Sleep disturbances

As if life isn’t stressful enough, the idea of having to fend off pollutants in my
energy field overwhelmed me when I learned about how harmful EMFs could be.

I didn’t want to be that family that didn’t have the internet or TV, but I also didn’t
want to be exposing my kids and wife to EMFs all day. That’s why I am so grateful
to have found the Harmoni Pendant.

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON SIDE EFFECTS FROM EM RADIATION?

We highlight some of the common complaints associated with low-level EMF


radiation in this article. They include:

⚫ Fatigue & Sleep Disorders


⚫ Occasional Headaches
⚫ Mood or Attention Issues
⚫ Occasional Nausea
⚫ Changes in Heart Rhythm
⚫ and many more…

HOW CAN WE IMPLEMENT 5.G. PROTECTION?

1. Join the debate! There is probably a local group in your state fighting to
raise awareness.
2. Minimize exposure – especially for children. We are seeing that children
are more vulnerable to this radiation because of their smaller size and
thinner bones (the waves penetrate further into their bodies.)
3. Take simple steps to protect yourself. There are several things you can
do to help minimize your exposure to give your body a chance to recover
from the near-constant bombardment.

The Problem with 5.G.


We’ve written about the dangers of microwave and EMF radiation before but
since publishing that article even more studies have come out. Plus we are
seeing the global expansion of 5.G. networks which surround us in a fog of EMF
pollution. This means we are going to be facing even more exposure than ever
before.

WHAT IS 5.G. TECHNOLOGY?

5.G. stands for Fifth Generation wireless network. The goal is to provide faster,
more stable, internet for mobile devices which sounds wonderful. After all, we
run an online Bible health ministry so good internet lets us reach more people.
Good thing, right?

MASTERCLASS

64
Not for our health. Study after study is showing the dangers of the radio
frequencies produced by these towers and the 5.G. systems will blanket us in
these RF or EMF emissions. The World Health Organization classified RF as a
Group 2B Possible Human Carcinogen back in 2011.

And we haven’t seen all the long-term studies on the safety of the higher
frequency emissions from the 5.G. towers that will be coming out. I’m sure as
we begin examining the long-term effects we will see the higher frequencies, at
more prolific levels will amplify the negative side effects.

Harmoni Research Study Results
Recently, Harmoni just completed a clinical trial to assess the efficacy of the
Harmoni Pendant in reducing stress and the impact of EMFs.

The study was conducted by 8 doctors with 100 volunteers total. Participant’s
stress measurements were assessed at three timepoints with HeartScientific HRV
technology.

⚫ Baseline
⚫ After introduction of a high EMF source (a portable fan)
⚫ After activation of the Harmoni Pendant + EMF source

THE STUDY PROVED THAT WEARING A HARMONI PENDANT:

⚫ Improved heart rate variability, a measure of stress, by 940%


⚫ Significantly reduced bodily stress induced by EMF
⚫ Reduced the effects of stress induced by EMF by 50%
⚫ Significantly increased energy reserves and mitochondrial power by 550%
⚫ Increased total energy even greater than the baseline (before EMF
stressor)
⚫ Lowered biological age by 80%, or 2 years
⚫ Significantly improved overall health by 140%
⚫ Enhanced the body’s aura, also known as the biophoton field, by 140%
⚫ Improved the body’s psychoemotional state, or ability to handle stress, by
100%
⚫ Improved the body’s ability to adapt to its environment by 90%
(Neurohormonal regulation)
⚫ Rescued Energy output dipping into the negative and enhanced it by 80%
⚫ Enhanced the body’s autonomic regulation of the body by 300%

The remaining study results are currently being compiled and will be published
soon.

How the Harmoni Pendant Works
The Harmoni Pendant works through something called bioenergetics.
Bioenergetics is a study of vibrational frequency and explains that everything has
its own vibration. Every organ in your body, your cell phone, WiFi, electricity —
everything in your world vibrates at its own frequency.

For the physical body, this frequency can be measured by something called
biophotons. Biophotons are light particles that your body produces in the
powerhouse of your cells called your mitochondria from sunlight.

Biophotons carry energy around your body and emanate from your skin to
create a field of light that surrounds you. When measured, biophoton emission is
correlated with health and wellbeing both physically and emotionally.

The incredible thing is, when you wear the Harmoni Pendant, you’re enhancing
your body’s ability to create biophotons, and therefore creating a brighter energy
field.

In other words, you’re more efficiently turning the energy from the sun into
usable energy in and around your body. This results in a more balanced
frequency that can protect you from harmful outside forces like EMFs.

In a way, you’re fighting fire with fire. Except instead, you’re fighting energy with
energy. The high vibrational field that the Harmoni Pendant creates around
your body blocks the harmful frequencies that are emitted from electronics and
wireless internet.

I know this can all sound a bit woo-woo and out there, but trust me when
I say I’ve read the research. In fact, in an article published in the scientific
journal Nature scientists explain the concept of bioenergetics and how energy
frequencies can quite literally change the function and structure of your DNA.

HOW TO ACTIVATE IT

Once you order your pendant, you’ll receive an email explaining how to activate
it. The steps are incredibly simple, and you want to repeat these steps each
week.

⚫ Take the pendant off


⚫ Take a 12-inch ruler and hold it against your sternum, pointing outward.

MASTERCLASS

67
⚫ Hold the pendant on the edge of the ruler farthest from your body, with
the pattern side facing out.
⚫ Hold here for one minute.
⚫ You’re done!

This process tunes your body’s energy field, helping to clear any energy blocks
and bringing balance to the field around your body.

The reason you want to repeat this process once a week is that as you live your
day to day life, you’re going to come up against stressors that can throw you off
— mold, food, emotional stress, EMFs, they all play a part.

Why the sternum, you may ask? The founder of the Harmoni Pendant, Robert
Marking, worked with thousands of people, including professional athletes, to
find the area of the body that works best for calibration. He tried all different
places on and around the body, and eventually came to about 12-inches off the
sternum as the ideal location.

Why We Love It!

Bella loves her Harmoni Pendant. Our entire family wears one!

The reason we love the Harmoni Pendant so much is that unlike other EMF
protectors out there, you can take it with you wherever you go. Instead of trying
to protect ourselves from EMFs by avoiding electronics and WiFi, my family and
I can travel and move about freely knowing our own electromagnetic field is
primed to resist harmful frequencies.

In the past, when we would go on trips to places like Disneyland, we would be


inundated with EMFs. I would feel it almost immediately — the anxiety and sense
of unease. Disney and other heavily trafficked areas tend to be hotbeds for EMFs.

Now when I go to events or places like Disney, I feel solid and grounded. Just like
I would when I spend time in nature.

FAQ (How it Works & More!)
PENDANT ACTIVATION

Q. How do you activate the pendant to achieve the most benefit?

Upon purchasing the pendant, you will be emailed a step-by-step video and a
PDF with instructions on how to activate your pendant. You can watch the video
here. Your pendant will also come with a card in the box that contains a QR code
that leads to the activation video and PDF guide.

Your pendant will work to a small degree if you simply wear it, but you can only
enjoy the maximum benefits when it is properly activated and tuned to your
body. This is a very simple process that will only take a couple of minutes.

The easiest way to do this is to use a 12-inch ruler, and hold it against your
sternum/heart facing straight outward. Then, hold the pendant at the end of the
ruler for 1-2 minutes. This will tune the pendant to your body’s energy field. You
can also estimate the approximate distance of 12 inches from your sternum/
heart rather than using a ruler.

We strongly recommend that you repeat this activation process once a week
to keep your pendant tuned to your body’s energy field. You are constantly
bombarded by various stressors that can throw off your body’s energy field, and
you want to keep the connection between you and the pendant optimized.

You can also repeat it anytime you feel mentally or physically off.

Q. Why do I have to hold the pendant a foot away from my sternum to activate
it?

We found that when the pendant is held right at the 12 inch mark from the
sternum, we get the greatest degree of benefits to support the body coming into
balance energetically and clear it of disruptive energies. It is where the pendant
best resonates with your frequency. This can help support your energy levels,
optimize communication in your energy field and keep you in an optimum
energetic state.

In bioenergetics terms, we’re creating resonance between you and the pendant;
it is analogous to the relationship between two tuning forks. Through working
with the thousands of people we’ve harmonized with Harmoni Pendants, we
have determined the master harmonizing or clearing points that can support

MASTERCLASS

73
most of the energetic clearing needed by the body. This is 12 inches from the
sternum.

Q. Do I need to repeat the activation process? How often should I do the


activation process with my pendant?

Generally, once a week has produced optimal results. You can also repeat it
anytime you feel mentally or physically off.

If you are ever exposed to a high general state of stress, or a major individual
stressor (a bad fall, a car accident, or anything that rattles you and shakes you
up), that is always a good time to reset and re-harmonize. It depends on the
person, but once a week is a great rule of thumb for achieving optimal benefits
from the pendant. We’ve found it helpful to just set a recurring calendar
reminder so you don’t forget.

–> VIDEO: Why you need to activate your Harmoni Pendant every week? From
Inventor Robert Marking

Q: If I forget to reactivate it, does it stop working?

No. But the pendant’s effect may be diminished. Remember, your body and the
energy field around it is always changing due your environment, stress levels,
diet, sleep, and countless other factors. To ensure that your Harmoni is always
“in sync” with your body, we recommend you set a weekly reminder for yourself
to go through the 60-second reactivation process.
How Does The Harmoni Pendant Work?

Q. How does the Harmoni pendant work?

When you hold the pendant 12 inches from your body and activate it, the
sacred geometry inside communicates with your body to finely tune your body’s
frequency. This clears disharmonious frequencies and makes it so that your body
is better able to regulate and deal with any stressors that it encounters (including
EMF). This amplifies your vibrational blueprint to help reset it back to when it was
perfectly tuned, as the trauma and stressors that have impacted you throughout
a lifetime are released.

Science tells us that the activities of cells and tissues generate energy fields that
can be detected on the skin’s surface. One of the biggest discoveries in this area
was in 1962, when Gerhard Baule and Richard McFee of Syracuse University, NY
detected the biomagnetic field projected from the human heart. Everything in

MASTERCLASS

74
the physical universe has a field and a frequency. Have you ever been inside a
holy place or in a pristine area in nature? What feels so good about those places
is that their fields and frequencies are more compatible with ours. On the other
hand, we’ve all had the experience of being someplace where the energy field
and frequency felt “off.” The bottom line is that some fields and frequencies are
compatible with the body and support health, while others aren’t, and produce
disharmony and potential health issues. When it comes to the body, we all have
a biophoton field that can be measured.

The pendant uses very precise geometry to align with the body’s field and help
signal it to return to its optimal state. This is necessary because there are so
many things we’re exposed to that take the body OUT of its natural frequency
and field. This can include pollutants, negative people, trauma, and even things
like dirty electricity and electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation.

Upon activating a pendant, one’s biophoton field lights up, and the body’s wave
form and electron spin are positively altered. There is a book that explains this
phenomenon, in fact, called The Biology of Belief, by Bruce Lipton. This book
explains how thoughts are waveforms with specific frequencies that can impact
the body’s biology in different ways. The pendant works like this, only utilizing
precise geometry to send a signal to the body. This signal acts like a reminder to
the body, helping it remember its natural, optimum state—even in the face of
stressors.

Q: What happens after you activate the Harmoni Pendant?

You may feel a sense of calm, peace and relaxation. Many report they sleep
better and feel less stressed. A lot of people notice a reduction in their aches and
pains, leading to better mobility. Athletes and people who’ve had injuries often
note that they feel much better and have better performance and coordination.

A general sense of good natural core energy throughout the day is another oft
reported benefit. People often experience improved sleep and mood also often
improves, as the body is better able to adapt to stress. This calm, adaptive state
also helps one to feel more connected with other people and the environment.

Some people feel worse. This is not a bad thing — it’s a sign the pendant is
working. We find that some people don’t like the shift from their stressed-out,
sympathetic nervous system state to the more relaxed, parasympathetic state.
Many people live on the adrenaline from being stressed out all the time and
don’t know how to relax or don’t like the sensation of feeling tired after their
pendant is activated. However, this feeling passes as you adjust and get better
sleep.

MASTERCLASS

75
After Harmoni Pendant activation, your body can relax and function normally
and start detoxing. And because of that some people don’t feel well while their
body is releasing toxins. Due to this phenomenon, we recommend taking a heavy
metal binder like Citricleanse or any other binder, like activated charcoal, once a
day to support your body as it cleans up any toxins that may be released upon
pendant activation and mitigate detox symptoms.

Some people don’t feel a change. However, we were able to see in our HRV
study that people who did not report feeling any different still experienced
improvements (per their HRV report) in the minimization of the effects of EMF
stressors, circadian rhythms, the autonomic nervous system and other positive
effects. You can view that study here. The Harmoni pendant can impart benefits
even if you do not notice them.

-> VIDEO: What Happens After You Activate Your Harmoni Pendant? from
Inventor Robert Marking

Q: What is HRV (heart rate variability)?

According to Harvard Health Publishing, “HRV is simply a measure of the


variation in time between each heartbeat. This variation is controlled by a
primitive part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
It works regardless of our desire and regulates, among other things, our heart
rate, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion.”

HRV is often used by elite athletes to determine how recovered their nervous
systems are—and therefore how well they can handle the stress of intense
training. In non-athletes, HRV can be a way to tell whether you are in “fight
or flight” (sympathetic nervous system) mode or the calm state known as
parasympathetic mode. Lower HRV scores generally mean more calm and being
more able to handle stress without feeling overwhelmed.

Q: How do I know the Harmoni Pendant is working?

It is truly different for everyone. If you have access to HRV tracking (available
in many wearable fitness devices or available for purchase separately through
HeartMathTM) you can easily track your before-and-after progress with Harmoni.
Those who are sensitive to energy or have EMF sensitivity can often notice feeling
calmer and less “overwhelmed,” especially when in areas with higher levels of
electromagnetic frequencies.

MASTERCLASS

76
The benefits of Harmoni usage are often subtle and more noticeable over time.
A greater overall sense of relaxation, better sleep, feeling more rested upon
waking, being less “triggered” or irritable with others, an overall improved sense
of wellbeing—these are all gentle benefits that one may notice after a period of
time with Harmoni.

Even if you don’t feel a change, in our HRV study people who didn’t notice any
outward changes did nonetheless enjoy improvements in the minimization of
EMF stressor effects, circadian rhythms, the autonomic nervous system and
others benefits.

Q: Please tell me how the pendant tunes to my bioenergetic field in comparison


to any other stainless steel necklaces. What has been done to it? Is it just a
placebo effect?

The Harmoni Pendant holes — their exact locations and size — were developed
from the principles of sacred geometry. It has been tested on thousands of
people in an effort to design a pendant for maximum benefits.

By improving the body’s energetic communication, the Harmoni Pendant can


improve communication efficiency and may clear stressors resulting from
energetic blocks in your biofield. This is the level that human intention and
thought works on as well, as observed and reported in Dr. Bruce Lipton’s book,
The Biology of Belief.

Working at the quantum level like this, which sets the stage for good physical
and emotional wellbeing, is the missing link so many are looking for in meeting
their health goals. You can potentially change your biochemistry by working at
this quantum level — by changing the geometry you change the waveform, cell
function, tissue, organ and organism. This is a far more elegant way to work with
the body than endlessly trying new internal solutions. Using the pendant can be
a first step in improving the efficacy of any protocol you are doing.

We have seen evidence of this before and after pendant activation using many
different types of tests, including GDV cameras, thermography, HRV testing,
EMF meters, bioenergetic testing, Equiscope and many others. After 20 years of
struggling with a long list of health challenges, creator Robert Marking conceived
of and designed the pendant. He’s been using this pendant for almost 15 years
and has shared it with thousands of people.

We have seen him activate pendants on hundreds of people, and many of them
have reported how much better they felt immediately. As soon as the next day,

MASTERCLASS

77
people report improved sleep quality, higher energy levels, fewer occasional
aches and pains, and a greater sense of emotional wellbeing.

Anything can have a placebo effect, of course, but we have completed a study of
the Harmoni Pendant that showed an average reduction in the stressful effects
of EMF of 48% (per HRV tests)!

Per the study, the pendant also improved mitochondrial power, biological age,
emotional and physical stress indicators, and many other variables. In addition,
Harmoni has a second study underway that is looking at HRV and EMF mitigation
as well.

If you are not completely satisfied, Harmoni offers a 100% refund, no questions
asked.

Q. Can you explain the concept of bioenergetics?

All matter in the universe has a unique frequency unto itself. This is called the
resonant frequency, and is demonstrated by quantum physics. Everything
in existence, both visible and invisible, has a vibrational blueprint. In our
environment, there are harmonious frequencies that can make us stronger,
healthier, and increase our performance when we come into contact with them.
There are also disharmonious frequencies in our environment that can make
us weaker — like EMF (electromagnetic fields). We call these disharmonious
frequencies in our environment stressors, as they actually stress the body.
They can disrupt the normal inflammation response, and we now know that
prolonged inflammation can destroy cells and mitochondria, speed up the aging
process, and interfere with good health.

We’re exposed to these stressors throughout our lifetimes, from structural


trauma (physical injuries), chemical trauma (pollutants and microorganisms),
emotional trauma, and EMFs (from electronics, cell phone towers, microwave
radiation, etc.). This can cause our vibrational energetic systems to become
disharmonious. This is where the Harmoni Pendant comes in; when you hold
the pendant 12 inches from your body and activate it, the sacred geometry
inside communicates with your body to finely tune its frequency. This clears
disharmonious frequencies and makes it so that your body is better able to
regulate and deal with any stressors that it encounters (including EMF). This
amplifies your vibrational blueprint to help reset it back to when it was perfectly
tuned, as the trauma and stressors that have impacted you throughout a lifetime
are released.

MASTERCLASS

78
Q. What exactly are you measuring in the study that shows that the Harmoni
Pendant is working?

Using HRV and other testing equipment, we can actually take a snapshot of
a person’s autonomic nervous system. We can see your heart rate, the total
mitochondrial power that you have in your body, and the amount of systemic
stress in your body. We can see if you have enough mitochondrial power to
address stress in a healthy way. We can also see to what degree you are in the
sympathetic ‘fight or flight’ mode, and what percentage of your cellular energy is
being used for this ‘fight or flight’ response on a given day.

We observe a lot of people who are using 60% or even 70% of this energy for
the fight or flight stress response. We are also able to see how much energy is
being used by your parasympathetic branch for resting, regenerating, and detox.
In addition, we can detect on another indicator, VLF, whether your hormones
are functioning properly. We take a snapshot of all of this on an HRV meter
before activation, and then we take another snapshot of the individual after
activating with the Harmoni Pendant. We consistently see a marked reduction
in sympathetic response energy, and a boost in parasympathetic regenerating
function. This is all within five minutes of initial activation of the Harmoni
Pendant.

We just received the findings of a research study conducted across the US with 8
doctors and 101 volunteers. The study was single armed, open label with three
timepoints (before, during and after EMF exposure) where participants were
measured for bodily stress using a Heart Rate Variability (HRV) monitor.

In the end, the researchers found that following activation with the Harmoni
Pendant:

⚫ EMF-induced bodily stress was significantly reduced by an average of 48%


⚫ total energy reserves and mitochondrial power were significantly
increased by 530% on average
⚫ biological age was lowered by an average of two years
⚫ the body’s biorhythms and circadian rhythms (sleep cycle) was improved
by an average of 160%

The vast majority of the 101 study participants saw a corrective shift in one or
more variables, including their heart rate variability scores.

MASTERCLASS

79
Q: What is the distance of the protective field when wearing the pendant?

We do not have a definitive answer for this, however, we do know that the
pendant offers benefits to the body in that it regulares and harmonizes the
body’s energy field. The body’s energy field extends about 10 ft in diameter
around the body.

THE EFFECTS AND BENEFITS OF THE HARMONI PENDANT

Q. What are some of the benefits that one can expect after activating their
Harmoni Pendant?

First off, many people feel very relaxed or even sleepy in the first 30 minutes
after activating their pendants. The most common thing people report is
improved sleep, and mood is also often improved, as the body is better able to
adapt to stress. A general sense of good natural core energy throughout the day
is another oft reported benefit. This calm, adaptive state also helps one to feel
more connected with other people and the environment.

A lot of people notice a reduction in their occasional aches and pains in the
days following activation, leading to better mobility. Athletes and people who’ve
experienced injuries often note that they feel much better.

VIDEO: What Are Some of The Benefits You Can Expect After Activating Your
Harmoni Pendant? From Inventor Robert Marking

Q. How long does it take to experience the benefits of the Harmoni Pendant?

It takes time to energetically release long-held past traumas and stressors from
the body. In the first four or five days you may feel some shifts in your sleep
patterns and quality, or you may feel some detox symptoms (sometimes you
may even not sleep as well due to this).

Many people feel the effects right away. They feel more relaxed and less
stressed, even sleepy.

After about four or five days of this adjustment process, you should start feeling
the overall benefits. Some people who are severely in need of detoxification
may experience some detox symptoms. These could include a slight headache,
occasional aches and pains, and even rashes. It is not the pendant causing this,
but it is indicative of the fact that the pendant is doing its job by optimizing the
body’s regulatory systems. These are signs that your body is trying to remove
toxins that could be damaging your cells.

MASTERCLASS

80
The worse you feel, the more you really need to harmonize. The pendant can
actually be very helpful for those in need of detoxification who may be having
a hard time releasing toxins. Approximately 5% of people experience these
symptoms; it is not terribly common.

Note that once you begin feeling the benefits of wearing the pendant, you will
begin to habituate to a new normal. So you may feel that the pendant is no
longer doing anything, even though you are at an elevated new normal. Be aware
of this. People sometimes take off their pendants thinking they’re not working
but when they put them back on and activate them again, they feel much better.

Q. Can you explain how the pendant improves sleep quality?

Due to the structural, chemical, emotional, and electromagnetic stressors


bombarding us each day, our bodies are in constant ‘fight or flight’ mode. Our
cortisol levels may be high, our normal inflammatory response is disrupted, and
we’re feeling stressed. When we are in that fight or flight state and we attempt
to sleep, it is difficult to achieve the deep REM state because our bodies can’t get
into the necessary parasympathetic rest and regeneration mode. By activating
the pendant, we are able to energetically release stressors and trauma that get
us stuck in that sympathetic fight or flight response.

We can then shift normally into the parasympathetic state and achieve proper
communication of our organs, glands, and all systems of the body, enabling
it to maintain homeostasis. This helps one to achieve an anabolic state when
sleeping. This has great anti-aging and cellular benefits. If one is unable to shift
into the parasympathetic sleep state, it becomes difficult to maintain good
health.

Many of our customers notice improved sleep quality with Harmoni, especially
those who are more sensitive to EMFs. Also, those with high levels of stress
(and therefore high levels of the stress hormone, cortisol) often notice better
sleep—because cortisol is a powerful sleep disruptor. In fact, it’s what your body
releases to wake you up every morning. Harmoni may help you to relax more
before bedtime and therefore fall asleep more easily. Harmoni Pendant fans
notice waking up less often and waking up feeling more refreshed.

MASTERCLASS

81
Q. Can you discuss some of the benefits of the pendant for athletes/active
people?

Athletes are always pushing themselves to the limit. Stress is good if you can
adapt to the stress, but when you can’t adapt, it tears your body down. The
better it can adapt to the stress of athletic activity, the better it can perform.
In addition, the better it can achieve an anabolic sleep state and regulate,
regenerate, and heal through proper autonomic nervous system regulation, the
better it will be able to function.

One of the main testimonies we’ve gotten from athletes (many of whom are
professionals or Division 1 college level), is that the tenderness and pain from
their injuries decreases due to the body being better able to release the trauma
from the injury and start healing normally. They also experience a more calm
and peaceful state leading up to athletic events. We’ve also had reports of
overall increases in strength, endurance, coordination, speed, and improved
performance and athleticism.

Q. How does the pendant help to reduce stress levels?

Obviously, Harmoni cannot change whatever stressful circumstances a person


may be in, but it can help with the response to stress. We know this because, in
initial testing, Harmoni has been shown to improve HRV (heart rate variability)
and, through one test case, improved alpha brainwave production. Higher HRV
and higher alpha brainwave scores are both indicators of an improved response
to stress. For those who are stressed out, we recommend finding ways to
improve stressful life circumstances while also including Harmoni as a way to
improve overall stress resilience.

In our pilot study with 101 humans, subjects saw a 700% average improvement
in their HRV scores, a measure of stress—that is pretty astonishing.

Let me explain how the body deals with stress. The autonomic nervous system
has two branches that help us adapt to stress: the sympathetic and the
parasympathetic. When in sympathetic mode, we experience a fight or flight
response. Immediate stressors that require attention cause us to shift into this
sympathetic fight or flight mode, in order to deal with that stressful situation.

Your body is intended to stay in sympathetic mode for a short time while dealing
with a stressor, and then regulate back into the parasympathetic mode, which is
where you rest, regenerate, digest and detox, repairing your body. This is a very
delicate balance, and this is the way the body maintains homeostasis and deals
with stress. Unfortunately, because of the structural, chemical, emotional, and

MASTERCLASS

82
electromagnetic stressors impacting us, we’re finding that 90% of people are
stuck in a sympathetic fight or flight mode daily, all day long. This affects blood
pressure levels, heart rate, and cortisol levels. This nervous mode causes people
to burn up all their ability to adapt to stressors so that they cannot address and
adapt to the stress they’re currently under.

When this happens, people get stuck in a destructive, catabolic mode in which
the body is degenerating due to using all of its power in this fight or flight
mode. The body is not regulating into parasympathetic mode at night when it is
supposed to sleep and regenerate and recover. There’s no power left, so even if
your body wants rest, regenerate, detox, and digest, it can’t. People go to bed but
they can’t fall asleep because they are still in that fight or flight mode, and the
body is degenerating as a result.

Harmonizing with the Harmoni Pendant is a very simple way to support normal
stress management and take us out of this high-stress state. Once you activate
your pendant, the sacred geometry in the pendant communicates with the
body to help it tune and regulate the body’s energy field. By clearing stressors
normally, the body is then able to slip into parasympathetic mode and one feels
less stressed and more relaxed.

VIDEO: How Does The Harmoni Pendant help to reduce stress levels in the body
from inventor Robert Marking

Q: Can Harmoni help me feel less anxious?

Anxiety is a medical condition and something we absolutely cannot make any


claims about. There is evidence that stress and anxiety levels can be connected
in some individuals. And therefore it is possible that addressing stress resilience
with Harmoni can be helpful.

Q. I experienced headaches while wearing the pendant. Why is this?

Harmonizing the pendant starts the process of stress release, which may be the
reason why you’ve been experiencing headaches. It may take some time for this
process to complete.

Additionally, as the body sinks into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state, the
body will begin detoxing pollutants that can cause headaches. We recommend
mitigating this detox symptom by taking a binder, like Citricleanse or activated
charcoal. You can also drink more water and take lemon baths (baths with cut up
lemons and juice).

MASTERCLASS

83
Q: I have noticed my heart pounding after wearing the pendant for a little
while. It would then subside after 20 minutes or so. Is this a normal response?

If you are experiencing this symptom or any other uncomfortable symptom, you
can take the pendant off and wear it for an hour a day to “work up” to wearing it
for longer periods of time. It may take up to 4 or 5 days for your body’s energetic
field to regulate, calm down, adjust, and acclimate to the pendant. During this
time people can have varying symptoms.

We suggest that you take a binder, like Citricleanse or activated charcoal to


absorb toxins that your body is releasing and mitigate any symptoms that may
result. As the body responds to these changes, some people experience a rapid
heartbeat or other uncomfortable detox symptoms. This is nothing to worry
about. The Harmoni Pendant cannot harm you. Your body simply needs time to
adjust.

HOW THE HARMONI PENDANT AIDS IN EMF MINIMIZATION

Q: How is the Harmoni Pendant different from other EMF solutions?

We cannot speak to the effectiveness of other EMF solutions. We can only speak
to the fact that the Harmoni Pendant has been found to reduce the effects of
stress in the body when exposed to EMF by 48% on average.

As noted above, we also have strong initial testing data showing that Harmoni
improves HRV (heart-rate variability) by an average of 700%, and brainwave
data, including alpha and theta. These are quantifiable indicators of an improved
stress response when in the presence of EMF.

Q: Is there any difference in the EMF minimization offered between the small
and large pendants?

No, both sizes are equally effective in reducing the effects of stress induced by
EMF. We offer two sizes for aesthetic reasons.

Q: What metal is the pendant made of, and is the metal what causes the
pendant to protect the body from EMFs?

The pendant is made of surgical grade stainless steel that is nickel-free.


Nickel in jewelry often causes rashes. We chose stainless steel because it is
hypoallergenic, so it doesn’t cause irritation to the skin.

MASTERCLASS

84
VIDEO: What metal Is the Harmoni Pendant made of and is this metal what
protects from EMF? From Inventor Robert Marking

Q: Since the pendant is metal, wouldn’t it act as an antenna/receiver for EMFs


as well?

Since the Harmoni Pendant can transmute or convert electromagnetic


frequencies into harmonious energy that is beneficial for the body, the stainless
steel that the pendant is made of will not act as an EMF antenna. The energy
that is produced when one wears the pendant won’t allow harmful EMFs to
be attracted and absorbed by the pendant. The pendant helps the body to
metabolize EMFs through improving its biophoton field regulation, helping it to
adapt to and metabolize EMFs. This outweighs the extent to which the metal
could function any sort of mini-antenna.

Q: I’ve heard Nick Pineault, Dr. Klinghardt, Dr. Mercola and other EMF experts
say that pendants don’t work to protect from EMF. How do you respond to that?

We would agree! Everything we have tested over the years has not proven to
protect against EMF.

The Harmoni Pendant is NOT solely an EMF device. By tuning up and clearing the
body’s energy field, the pendant helps the body to deal with the stress of EMF
more efficiently. EMF mitigation is just one benefit of the pendant.

In a study with 101 participants, we measured HRV (heart rate variability),


an indicator of stress, before, during and after EMF exposure and then after
activation with a Harmoni Pendant. The results were impressive. It clearly shows
the pendant’s ability to support healthy function after EMF exposure. You can
review the results of that study here.

This study showed that the Harmoni Pendant can help mitigate the effects of
EMF. We do not claim 100% protection against EMF but our initial observational
studies have found that on average people enjoy 48% mitigation of stress caused
by EMF.

One main point I want to make is that the Harmoni Pendant is a stress reduction
device. It works to support the body’s energy field and resilience to stress. It just
also happens to do that by improving the body’s resilience to stress, and EMF is a
major type of stress.

MASTERCLASS

85
We’ve had hundreds of people report to us that the Harmoni Pendant resulted in
a number of benefits for them, including stress and pain reduction, better sleep,
better mood and much more.

The pendant works at the bioenergetic level. Remember how we said that
everything has a frequency? Well, this includes electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and
their radiation. A big problem with EMFs is that they can disrupt your body’s own
natural, optimum frequency response. The Harmoni Pendant does not block out
electromagnetic radiation (this is only possible with a Faraday cage or barrier)—
but what it can do is help your body KEEP its optimum frequency levels, even in
the presence of EMF radiation.

WEARING THE HARMONI PENDANT

Q: Can you give me some tips on how to wear the Harmoni Pendant?

VIDEO: How to Wear The Harmoni Pendant from inventor Robert Marking

Q. How do you activate the Harmoni Pendant to achieve the most benefit?

Upon purchasing the pendant, you will be emailed a step-by-step video and a
PDF with instructions on how to activate your pendant. You can watch the video
here. Your pendant will also come with a card in the box that contains a QR code
that leads to the activation video and PDF guide.

Your pendant will work to a small degree if you simply wear it, but you can only
enjoy the maximum benefits when it is properly activated and tuned to your
body. This is a very simple process that will only take a couple of minutes.

The easiest way to do this is to use a 12-inch ruler, and hold it against your
sternum/heart facing straight outward. Then, hold the pendant at the end of the
ruler for 1-2 minutes. This will tune the pendant to your body’s energy field. You
can also estimate the approximate distance of 12 inches from your sternum/
heart rather than using a ruler.

We strongly recommend that you repeat this activation process once a week
to keep your pendant tuned to your body’s energy field. You are constantly
bombarded by various stressors that can throw off your body’s energy field, and
you want to keep the connection between you and the pendant optimized.

You can also repeat it anytime you feel mentally or physically off.

MASTERCLASS

86
Q: How often do I need to reactivate the Harmoni Pendant?

We typically recommend doing the reactivation process about once a week. It


only takes 60 seconds and ensures the Harmoni Pendant is calibrated to your
body’s unique biofield. Click here for instructions on how to reactivate it each
week.

Q: If I forget to reactivate the Harmoni Pendant, does it stop working?

No. But its effect may be diminished. Remember, your body and the electrical
field around your body is always changing depending on your environment,
stress levels, diet, sleep levels, and countless other factors. To ensure that your
Harmoni is always “in sync” with your body, Harmoni recommends you set a
weekly reminder for yourself to go through the 60-second reactivation process.

You may find if you forget to reactive it for a while, the day you reactivate it, you
may feel particularly good that day.

Q: Does the Harmoni pendant need to be worn on the outside of your clothing?

You can wear the pendant either way; outside or under your clothing. It will not
affect its performance.

VIDEO: How to Wear The Harmoni Pendant from inventor Robert Marking

Q: How many hours per day do you need to wear the Harmoni pendant to
experience benefits?

For best results, we recommend that the pendant be kept on or near the body at
all times. You could put it on a keychain, in a pocket, or just wear it as a necklace.
The minimum recommended wearing time for one to experience benefits is one
hour per day.

VIDEO: How to Wear The Harmoni Pendant from inventor Robert Marking

Q: Can I/should I wear the Harmoni pendant when I sleep?

Yes, you can wear the Harmoni Pendant when you sleep but the chain could
break. We recommend placing the pendant, icon down facing away from the
body, under your pillow as opposed to wearing it around your neck while you
sleep.

MASTERCLASS

87
VIDEO: How to Wear The Harmoni Pendant from inventor Robert Marking

Q. Can you keep the Harmoni pendant in your purse, wallet, keychain, or
pocket?

Although some may want to put it in their purse, you really want the front of the
pendant facing away from you as much as possible. If it is in your purse it may
be too far away from you, and it may be turned the wrong way. If it is in a wallet
or directly in your pocket, it may be close enough to the body to be optimally
effective, but you should keep the Harmoni Pendant icon on the front facing
away from you.

The same applies if putting it on a keychain, carrying it in a purse, wallet or


pocket — make sure the Harmoni Pendant icon is facing away from the body.

We also recommend placing the pendant underneath your pillow, sheets or


mattress cover when you sleep. This will make sure it comes in closer contact
with the body to ensure you’re getting the benefits.

VIDEO: How to Wear The Harmoni Pendant from inventor Robert Marking

Q. Can you wear the Harmoni Pendant in the shower or when swimming? Is
water going to hurt it?

Yes, you can shower and swim with the pendant as much as you would like.
Water will not harm it. In addition, if you were to accidentally wash the pendant
in the washing machine, this will not damage it. As long as the shape of the
pendant isn’t damaged in such a manner that interferes with the symmetry of
the hole pattern, the pendant is fine. In addition, any type of cleaner you want to
clean it with is not going to damage it whatsoever.

MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS

Q. Who invented the Harmoni Pendant? How was the pendant developed?

The pendant was developed by Robert Marking through his study of vibrational
medicine in response to years of health challenges that he had been unable to
solve through conventional means. He spent years in trial and error, working
with thousands of clients to develop and bring the world the Harmoni Pendant.
We are incredibly grateful for his gift to the world.

MASTERCLASS

88
Q: Do you carry adjustable chains for the pendant?

Unfortunately, we do not carry adjustable chains. You do, however, have the
option of using any chain that you like with the pendant. It will not affect the
pendant’s benefits or performance.

Q: My chain broke. Do you have replacement chains?

If you break your Harmoni Pendant chain, Harmoni is happy to replace it and
ship it absolutely free! Please contact support@harmonipendant.com for
replacement chains.

HARMONI PENDANT PROTOCOL

Q. Can I share my Harmoni Pendant with anyone else after it is activated to my


body? Can I recycle an old pendant and give it to my friends?

No, you cannot. You cannot share your pendant with others once it has been
activated to your body. There’s a good reason for this. All matter in the universe
has its very own resonant frequency, or its own vibrational blueprint.

The pendant works by holding it 12 inches from the body and activating it to your
individual body. Your energetic pathways pass through the pendant, causing
the pendant to resonate at a frequency that matches your frequency. Now that
the pendant has been activated and your energetic pathways have been passed
through it, it’s harmonized to your vibrational blueprint.

If someone else attempts to activate the pendant to their vibrational blueprint,


it in essence dilutes the pendant and it is only able to offer about half of the
benefits it will offer to the original wearer. So, once it’s harmonized or activated
to your vibrational blueprint, you will want to keep it with you.

If somebody touches it, or holds it, or puts it on for a few minutes, that’s not an
issue. However, if somebody were to wear it for a day or two, or to activate it
to their body, then it would be activated with two different people’s vibrational
blueprint. This would dilute the benefits of the pendant for the original owner as
well as the second person wearing it. Needless to say, you should not share the
pendant with a pet, either.

MASTERCLASS

89
Q. What if I accidentally let someone else wear my Harmoni Pendant for a day
or more once it was or before it was activated?

Unfortunately, there is no way to fix this if another person were to wear it for
any extended period of time. You would need to get a new Harmoni Pendant.
You cannot share the pendant as it will dilute its effectiveness for you if worn by
another person.

VIDEO: Can I Share Harmoni Pendant with a friend, family member or pet? From
inventor Robert Marking

Q. Is it a problem if I wore the Harmoni Pendant without activating it before


understanding the activation process?

If you have it on for a good four or five hours, it will start to naturally harmonize
to your vibrational blueprint; not to the extent that it would through proper
harmonization 12 inches from the sternum, but it will start harmonizing
nonetheless. This is easy enough to fix! Activate your pendant and then repeat
the activation process once a week.

Q. How can I avoid mixing my Harmoni Pendant up with the pendant of a family
member or anyone else?

You can mark your pendant, engrave it, use a different chain, put some sort of tie
on it, or use some other indicator just to make sure you know which one is yours.
It is also good to just keep it on you as much as possible, especially considering
that the more you wear it, the more benefits you will experience.

Q: Can children wear the pendant?

Yes. The Harmoni Pendant can be used by anyone.

Q: Can pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding wear the pendant?

Harmoni has not done any research to date on pregnant and nursing mothers.
Though they have not had any reported issues with customers wearing the
pendant while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Mama Z has worn one all throughout her last pregnancy and while nursing with
no complications at all.

MASTERCLASS

Q. Can cats, dogs, or horses wear the Harmoni Pendant? How do I harmonize
the pendant to a pet?

Pets, just like humans, are exposed to stressful situations and are traumatized
throughout their lives. So, they can receive the benefits of the Harmoni Pendant
just like human beings can. The shift in animals is quite apparent; a lot of times
they suddenly feel very relaxed and almost fall asleep. They may bark less and
have visibly reduced anxiety.

As for activating or harmonizing the pendant to your cat or dog, it is pretty


simple. Just hold the pendant about three to four inches from the animal, right
between their eyes straight out from their forehead for about two minutes.
Do this with the front icon of the pendant facing away from them. You can do
it while they’re sleeping or relaxing to make it easier. They can wear it on their
collar, or if they have a place where they sleep, you can place the pendant icon
face down under where they sleep so they sleep on it at night.

With horses, you will want to harmonize or activate the pendant how you would
with a dog or cat, but in front of the horse’s head about 12 inches. A good way
that horse owners keep the pendant on their horses is to sew the pendant into
the bridle, or into the saddle, to keep it on the horse at all times. We’ve seen
remarkable benefits with cats, dogs, horses, or with any animal in terms of
physical as well as mental and emotional wellbeing.

HARMONI PENDANT VS OTHER PENDANTS AND EMF DEVICES

Q. If I have an energy balancing bracelet from another company, or I’m using


a different type of energy balancing pendant, will the Harmoni Pendant work
along with these other energy balancing devices that I have? What about
regular jewelry?

The pendant will actually allow the body to harmonize even better with the other
energy balancing devices you may be wearing, so it will only improve the benefits
of anything else you may be using. The pendant will also harmonize you with any
other jewelry you are wearing, so you can certainly wear any other jewelry with
the Harmoni pendant. They will not interfere with the Harmoni Pendant and the
pendant will not interfere with them.

Q. What is the difference between Qlink and the Harmoni Pendant?

The Qlink has crystals inside. Crystals are charged with frequencies and the
type of crystals in the Qlink are known to absorb or protect against EMF. This
is a great technology. People do feel benefit from that. But it’s a one size fits all
approach.

The Harmoni Pendant, through the activation process with your body, actually
tunes up your individual body energy field and clears distortions or energetic
blocks in your energy field, which impede proper function and communication.

The Qlink crystals emit frequencies, which can make you feel better, but don’t
address the root cause of one’s issues — distortions or blockages in one’s energy
field where most communication takes place in the body.

Additionally, crystals typically need to be energetically cleared on a regular


basis as they can pick up negative energies. And if that happens, they can be
disharmonious to your energy field and body.

Q. What is the difference between the Harmoni Pendant and EMF protection
or transmuting crystals like Shungite, Obsidian, Shungite, Charoite, Hematite,
Sodalite, Himalayan Salt, Black Tourmaline, Lodestone, Magnetite, Pyrite,
Amazonite, Fluorite or Indigo Gabbro?

Crystals have an amazing energy and capacity to send frequencies to the body
and even protect from EMF. People do feel benefits from that. But it’s a one-size-
fits-all approach.

MASTERCLASS

92
One thing people may not be aware of is that you have to energetically cleanse
your crystals periodically. They can pick up and carry detrimental energy. And if
that happens, they can be disharmonious to your energy field and body. If they
are not cleared energetically periodically, their EMF neutralizing and protective
effectiveness can be significantly reduced. You can set them out in the sun to
clear them. You can also consult with experts on crystals to clear them.

The Harmoni Pendant, through the activation process with your body, actually
tunes up and clears your individual body’s energy field and removes distortions
or energetic blocks in your energy field, which impede proper function and
communication. It’s a customized approach.

Crystals emit frequencies, which can make you feel better, but do not address
the root cause of one’s issues — distortions or blockages in one’s energy field
where most communication takes place in the body.

Crystal energy can be quite strong and have unintended effects, like keeping you
awake if they are kept by your bed at night.

Other stones or crystals used for EMF protection include epidote, serpentine,
pyrite, copper, malachite, unakite, azurite, jasper, lepidolite, turquoise and green
aventurine.

Q: Is the Harmoni pendant a harmonizer? What is a harmonizer?

A harmonizer is an object that creates a spinning torus field around itself (such
as the electromagnetic field of the earth, or our personal electromagnetic fields).
The strength and size of the torus field is determined by a variety of factors.

All non-harmonic energies/frequencies that come within the torus field of the
harmonizer are converted into the harmonic energies/frequencies produced by
the harmonizer.

While we did not design the Harmoni Pendant to be a harmonizer in the strictest
sense of the word, the way it works is very similar.

Fruit & Veggie Wash
Each year, millions of people get sick because of food contamination and a good
portion of that is from produce! That’s why using the best fruit and vegetable wash
to clean all your produce is simply a must. Learn about our new favorite produce
wash which is safer than bleach, and more effective than vinegar.

Why We Need More Produce


When was the last time you ate a meal that was primarily plant-based? We’re
talking more than just two hesitant bites of broccoli or that wedge salad smothered
in blue cheese dressing. When we researched for The Essential Oils Diet we were
appalled at how little produce most people eat.

We learned that about 90% of all Americans simply aren’t eating enough fruits and
vegetables. According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, we all need to aim
for around 5-7 servings per day of non-starchy and leafy green vegetables. We
should also be aiming for a colorful diet, with lots of variety when it comes to those
vegetables. But most people aren’t getting that.
It can be easy to say 5-7 servings, but you may be wondering what exactly
constitutes a serving:

● For non-starchy vegetables that would be ½ cup either raw, steamed, or


cooked.
● Non-starchy vegetables include things like asparagus, broccoli, carrots,
cabbage, eggplant, mushrooms, onions, etc.
● For leafy green vegetables, a serving is equal to one cup of raw greens. That
means if you’re planning on cooking them you’ll need to measure them first.
The leafy green category includes vegetables such as bok choy, cabbage,
dandelion greens, kale, and turnip greens.

It’s important for you to eat more vegetables in order to have a healthy diet. The
Center for Disease Control’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity has
noted in studies that American’s aren’t getting the recommended amounts. This is
in spite of the fact that the evidence clearly shows a positive correlation between
increased vegetable consumption and a reduced risk for chronic health conditions

MASTERCLASS

94
such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, and even premature
mortality. The CDC further notes that “Seven of the top 10 leading causes of death in
the United States are from chronic diseases. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables
daily can help reduce the risk of many leading causes of illness and death.”

Fresh fruit and vegetables can also be one of your best sources of vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. The fiber makes them a good choice for proper
digestion while all those micronutrients can help support your immune system.
Our research about the vital importance of bioactive foods highlights why everyone
in our Natural Living Family should be eating more of them. Science even says
that eating more fresh fruits and veggies can help you become more attractive –
boosting energy and smoothing complexions. Pass the veggies, please!

How to Eat More Fruits & Veggies


If you’re like most people chances are your vegetable consumption falls somewhere
in the 2-ish cups per day range. With all the health benefits that vegetables can
provide it makes sense to want to add more of them to your diet. If you’re not used
to eating a large number of vegetables it can be challenging to figure out how to
increase from the amount you are eating to the recommended 5-7 servings per day.

Remember this amount is specifically for non-starchy and green vegetables. The
recommendation for starchy vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets,
and pumpkin is 1-2 servings per day while fruit (fresh or frozen) is 2-3 ½ cup
servings. Dry fruit is not considered a serving of fruit simply because of the high
sugar content.

If you haven’t picked up a copy of The Essential Oils Diet, this is the perfect way to
get some easy-to-cook recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists to make it easy for
you to transform your eating habits.

While you wait for your book to arrive, here are five fabulous and simple strategies
to help you incorporate more vegetables into your daily diet:

1. Soups – this can be a wonderful way to bump up the nutrition. Add extra
vegetables to a soup (plus a little extra broth if needed). This is a great way to
add cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or cabbage to your
plate. Try one of our favorite soup recipes for a delicious meal!
2. Zoodles – instead of pasta make zucchini noodles and use them as a base to
top with a wide range of delicious sauces. The best part? Zoodles can even be
made from other vegetables such as carrots.

MASTERCLASS

95
3. Sauces – whenever you’re making any kind of sauce this is a perfect
opportunity to bump up the vegetable content. Great additions include diced
onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, shredded carrots, diced celery, and leafy
green options like spinach. Mama Z’s Spaghetti Sauce is a great option to get
you started.
4. Breakfast – adding vegetables is a great way to start your day. Try sautéing
tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and/or leafy greens as a delicious
way to add a boost to your breakfast. Try Mama Z’s Red-Green Superfood
Smoothie for a quick breakfast chock full of nutrition if you’re in a rush!
5. Grill or Roast – preparing your vegetables in advance by grilling or roasting
a large quantity means you’ll have them on hand and ready-to-eat. This not
only allows you to add more veggies to your diet, but it’s a great time-saving
tip as well.

The Invisible Problem With Your Produce


Now that you know what a good idea is it to add more vegetables to your diet
there’s still something very important that you need to keep in mind. They may look
delicious and tempting in the grocery store, but there’s a lot more to the produce
aisle than the eye can see.

While you definitely want to be eating more fresh produce, what you don’t want
to do is eat all of the unseen stuff that can come along with it. Believe it or not,
what we’re talking about here applies to all vegetables. That means you still get
exposed to these problems even if you buy organic vegetables (although we highly
recommend you do that, especially for the Dirty Dozen).

When buying fresh produce chances are you tend to focus on how it looks. Those
beautiful bell peppers, that amazing eggplant, and all those other delicious

vegetables. Unfortunately, you may also be bringing home other unwelcome items
along with your product.

According to the FDA, the fresh food being sold in the grocery store may be
contaminated. There are a lot of different ways that can happen but sadly no one at
the grocery store is sharing that information with you. You need to be aware of the
possibilities and take care of it yourself at home.

Soil Contaminants: One of the potential problems is when you’re so used to


buying pretty looking produce at the grocery store that you can forget it has to
grow on a farm somewhere before it gets to you at the grocery store. That means
agricultural exposures such as mold, bacteria, or other contaminants in the soil or
the water used to grow the crops. But you can’t see those things, all you see is the
produce.

Human Sources: Another possible source of contamination for your food can be
poor hygiene among agricultural workers. Anywhere from planting to harvesting
to packaging to the grocery store. It can happen. Clearly, you wash your hands and
practice good hygiene, but what about all those other hands? You don’t have any
control over them; it only makes sense to be mindful of that.

Wax Coatings: Then there are the issues with the post-harvest application of wax
that producers tend to add to things like apples and cucumbers. Have you ever
noticed how shiny some produce is? That’s because the producers coat it with an
“edible coating” which helps to reduce wilting or shrinking. This can help to reduce
the amount of scarring which tends to occur when all that produce is stacked on
top of each other.

The shiny appearance of the wax is also supposed to make the produce look
appealing. The problem is you really don’t want to be eating wax. It doesn’t taste
good and it certainly has no nutritional value.

MASTERCLASS

97
Mold, bacteria, wax, dirty water? That’s a lot to think about. It probably makes
you want to think twice before crunching those carrots. But you know you need
to eat more vegetables. So how exactly do you get rid of all of that gunk on your
food? It’s simple, you wash it.

This doesn’t mean a quick rinse-and-shake under the kitchen faucet. We are
talking actual washing with a good, high-quality produce cleaner. One that strips
all of the icky stuff so you’re just left with tasty tomatoes and other delicious
vegetables.

At this point, you may be thinking, “There’s already a product out there that I can
use to clean my produce.” You’re absolutely right. There are commercial fruit
and veggie cleaners. In fact, they’re sold right in the cleaning aisle at your local
grocery store. But the problem with those particular products is that they’re not
all that clean either.

One study coming out of the University of Maine’s Cooperative Extension Service
found chlorine was a common ingredient in formulations aimed at getting rid of
mold and bacteria on produce. Bleach, however, is not something you want to
ingest. According to the CDC, a recent survey looking into consumer concerns
about viral health issues revealed that 19% of people surveyed used bleach
to clean their produce. The study further went on to note that negative health
reactions attributed to the use of cleaning products in the home, such as to
“disinfect” fruits and vegetables, included nasal irritation, skin issues, headaches
and/or dizziness, and nausea or upset stomach.

Bleach is not a non-toxic product. It can cause serious health issues when
used in the home. And it’s definitely is not meant to be ingested.

In order to clean your produce properly, it’s best to skip the bleach. You want to
make sure you are getting a non-toxic, preferably organic, plant-based cleaner
that can rinse away the chemicals that are all over your produce.

CHAPTER 8
Laundry Detergent
As a family of six, one thing we do on a daily basis (and then some!) is laundry.
But with the chemicals from the laundry detergents being so dangerous, we want
healthy options for our kids. See our MyGreenFills review below and why we love
it so much, because DIY isn’t the only way to ensure healthy laundry cleaners.
We love MyGreenFills laundry products for their healthy ingredients and earth-
friendly mission.

The Importance of Natural Laundry Detergent


Most of us do laundry on a daily or weekly basis. But far too often we don’t give
it a second thought. It’s easy to just shop by price, or scent, when selecting a
laundry detergent, but there are some other factors you should keep in mind for
the healthiest laundry room possible.

There are so many dangerous chemicals in laundry detergents, fabric softeners,


and drier sheets that it’s important to make a switch. You will find that your
laundry room can be a culprit in many health concerns because of the chemical
cocktail of many commercial cleaners. These harmful chemicals include:

1. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate – skin and eye irritant


2. Formaldehyde – probable carcinogen
3. Chlorine Bleach – respiratory irritant
4. Optical Brighteners – highly skin irritating
5. Fragrance – endocrine disrupting

You can avoid all of these dangerous chemicals when you use MyGreenFills!

Learn more about the dangers of artificial fragrances like those in air fresheners,
laundry detergent, and other cleaners.

Not only are these chemicals harmful to our bodies, but they are harmful to the
earth as well. As Christians, we believe God calls us to be wise stewards of earth
and it’s resources.

Phosphates, for example, destroy water balance and encourage unhealthy


algae blooms, and harm fish, amphibian, and other marine life. Brighteners and
benzenes are also toxic to aquatic life, sometimes impacting watersheds for
years.

One way to minimize the dangers of traditional laundry products is with some
laundry room DIY magic.

soaps and essential oils to make a healthier laundry cleaner. You’ll notice
too that it makes a lot of laundry soap in one batch!

spot treating kids clothes or tackling other stains before tossing them into
the laundry.

Washing Machine Cleaner
If you’re building a healthy home and you’ve eliminated toxic chemicals but haven’t
cleaned your washer you’re missing out. Get the best washing machine cleaner so
you aren’t “cleaning clothes” with mold and bacteria. Ewwww…

What's In Your Washing Machine?


Your washing machine does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to cleaning your
home. All of those clothes, towels, bedding, and other household linens add up.
But when you’re doing the wash are you leaving invisible dirt behind?

The truth is your laundry might not be as clean as you think it is. But it’s not your
fault. You rely on your washing machine to keep your fabric items clean. It’s just
that unfortunately it doesn’t always come out as clean as you would like. In fact,
over time your laundry machine, and even the items which come out of it, may
begin to develop an unpleasant odor about them.

That can be due to bacteria, mold, and germs which you can’t see with the naked
eye. These germs can be hard to get rid of. Let’s take a moment and look at how
washing machines work before we break down where the problems with your
laundry routine are.

Taking Care Of Your Washing Machine
We are all grateful for the modern advancement of washing machines. After all,
who wants to go back to a time before we had them? Wash on Monday, meant
struggling with huge loads of fabric, vats of hot water, soap, and a lot of physical
labor. This was followed by wringing out and tending to every single item of
laundry by hand. Thanks to modern ingenuity, you no longer have to pound your
laundry on rocks by the side of a river or scrub with a washboard and a bucket.

In 1874 William Blackstone designed a manual washing machine and no one looked
back. Ever since then the way we clean our linens has come a long way. You don’t
have to work quite so hard just to have clean clothes for you and your family.
What you may not realize however is that although the machine replaced a lot of
the need for manual labor, it still needs tending. You need to regularly clean your
washing machine. Something that most of us don’t do. It can be easy to overlook
the time and maintenance needed to take care of this modern convenience.

Laundry machines are so familiar in just about every home that you no longer
really think about it, you simply use it. However, if you take the time to read
the manual that comes with your machine (does anybody really do that?), the
manufacturers do encourage you to regularly clean the machine itself. Pulling
directly from a manual of a popular brand, the manufacturer states, “This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or
every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.” If you’re not doing that,
you’re getting an accumulation of soils and detergents, just as the manufacturer
warned.

MASTERCLASS

107
What Does Clean Really Mean?
The concept of a washing machine seems pretty straightforward. Put your dirty
clothes and other items into the machine, add detergent and water, press the
button, and wash. What you may not realize, however, is that even though your
machine is laundering your things, it’s not actually sterilizing them. If you’re not
sterilizing? Well, that’s where that invisible dirt comes in; all the germs, bacteria, and
other gross substances.

This bacterial contamination, once it gets into your machine, tends to stay there
and spread. The contamination happens in a couple of different ways. It’s partly
due to the water you’re cleaning your laundry with and also because of what’s on
the items that you’re washing.

When it comes to the water you wash with there are two parts to the equation.
First, you have the water you add to wash your things, this is called the influent.
Then you have the grey-water, or effluent, that comes out of the machine once the
laundry is done. When you wash your linens and clothes, however, there is cross-
contamination which can happen as the water goes through the machine. During

MASTERCLASS

108
the cleaning process, the effluent and influent waters mix and a buildup of germs
can occur.

This buildup can come from the commercial detergents and softeners you’re using
which may leave residues behind on your fabrics. Sometimes these residues can
build up to the point where they then create a biofilm. They may even form their
own microbiome, right on your laundry potentially creating a harmful situation.
One example of this was an incident involving a bacterial infection that happened
at a hospital in Germany. The pediatric ward in this German hospital had a
domestic type machine, similar to what you would find in your home, which was
found to be contaminated with Klebsiella oxytoca.

Normally K. oxytoca is considered to be a healthy gut bacteria. Unfortunately,


however, it is a multi-drug resistant bacteria that can cause serious illness when it
occurs outside the intestinal tract. 13 newborns (ages 1-4 weeks) and 1 young child
wound up being infected. When the hospital performed a thorough investigation
they found bacterial isolates on the rubber door seal of the washing machine. K.
oxytoca was also found in two sinks and in the detergent drawer. When the hospital
stopped using this washing machine the spread of the bacteria stopped. Making
sure your machine is thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis is the only way to avoid
this kind of buildup at home.

What's On Your Laundry?
Another possible source for contamination of your laundry machine is any germs
that are already on your fabrics. You may be wondering exactly what kind of
bacteria we’re talking about here; hint: it’s not pleasant.

According to University of Arizona microbiology professor Charles Gerba, “There’s


about a tenth of a gram of poop in the average pair of underwear. ” He also
shared, “If you wash a load of just underwear, there will be about 100 million E.
coli in the wash water, and they can be transmitted to the next load of laundry.”
Unfortunately, fecal matter can be a source for a wide range of germs including E.
coli, Hepatitis A., Norovirus, Rotavirus, and Salmonella. Which, as professor Gerba
points out, can be shared from wash-load to wash-load.

Furthermore, according to Philip Tierno, author of the book, “The Secret Life of
Germs” and New York University School of Medicine professor of microbiology and
pathology, certain skin bacteria, such as staphylococcus, or other hardy germs, can
be left behind on your clothing and other fabrics.

All of these different types of bacteria and germs tend to build up in the washing
drum and rubber seals of your machine. The more laundry you run through the
machine, without cleaning the actual machine itself on a regular basis, the higher
the potential you have to spread these germs. The situation is worse when it

MASTERCLASS

110
comes to those machines which are stored in garages, sheds, or even in damp
basements. That’s because these tend to be humid places, an environment that is a
perfect place for these harmful organisms to grow and thrive.

The Best Washing Machine Cleaner


Rather than just laundering your clothes you need to make sure you’re properly
cleaning your washing machine on a regular basis. There is a wide range of
commercial laundry machine cleaning products out there. If you haven’t been
regularly cleaning your machine you may not have noticed them. Unfortunately,
these commercial formulas tend to use toxins to “clean” your laundry machine.

MASTERCLASS

111
It’s one thing to get rid of the bacteria and germs, but leaving chemical residues
behind isn’t a good idea. In fact it kind of defeats the purpose, you’re just trading
one kind of invisible dirt for another. You want to sure to avoid any washing
machine cleaners that may have harmful ingredients in them such as:

⚫ Surfactants – This ingredient causes suds but doesn’t fully release from the
material. That means it leaves a residue behind which can contribute to your
invisible dirt. Remember, just because it’s sudsy doesn’t mean it’s clean.
⚫ Oxygen bleach – Many laundry companies tend to promote bleach for
cleaning laundry and other household items. Unfortunately, bleach is harmful
to both you and the environment.
⚫ Polyethylene Glycol – Also known as PEG, this ingredient is used because
it’s supposed to help with stains. Unfortunately, studies have shown this
ingredient to be highly toxic to human and animal cells. It’s also very slow to
break down in the environment.
⚫ Fragrances – Manufacturers use fragrances to make you think your
laundry smells clean. There are thousands of chemicals that are classified
as fragrances. This type of ingredient has been linked to rashes, headaches,
nausea, and more. Remember, the goal isn’t to perfume your clothes or the
inside of your washing machine. You want to disinfect your machine so you
can clean your clothes.

Fortunately, there are other options that don’t require the use of toxic chemicals.
Performing regular cleaning maintenance for your machine, with a non-toxic, citric
acid-based cleaner, and no laundry in it, you can clear out all of the accumulated
bacteria and other gunk. This leaves your machine sparkling clean and smelling
fresh so no invisible dirt gets transferred onto your laundry.

Wool Dryer Balls

HOMEMADE WOOL DRYER BALLS

Materials
M 1 skein of 100% pure wool yarn (see notes above
when choosing your yarn)
M Old pantyhose or knee-high stockings

Instructions
g To start your homemade dryer ball, wrap the yarn around two fingers
about 10 times. Slide the yarn off your fingers, then wrap yarn around
the middle of the yarn bundle. This will be the base of your ball.
g Continue wrapping the yarn around the base in every direction, until
your ball has reached the desired size. Be sure that you are wrapping
the yarn tightly. Tennis ball sized is sufficient, but you can go as large
as softball sized to help decrease drying time even more.
g Once you have completed wrapping, cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Use a
crochet hook or large needle to pull the thread into the ball. Trim the
excess from the tail.
g Place your dryer ball(s) into the pantyhose or knee-high, knotting
them closely in between and at the end. You can simply tie the hose
or you can use cotton yarn to tie off each section. Do NOT use wool
yarn for this step, as it will felt.
g Wash your newly wrapped dryer balls on a hot water cycle and dry on
high heat to felt them. This can be done with loads of laundry to help
conserve energy. It may take 3-4 cycles for the wool strands to bond
together and have the “felted” exterior that you want to achieve.
g When the felting process is complete, remove the dryer balls from the
hose, and pop them in your dryer with each load. For best results, use
3-4 DIY dryer balls for small and medium loads, 5-6 balls for larger
loads. You can use them as-is or add 3-4 drops of essential oils to
each ball with each load of laundry.
g When learning how to make wool dryer balls, it’s nice to be able to
add your own essential oils. If you add oils to your dryer balls, you
should wait a bit to allow absorption of the oils into the wool before
tossing into the dryer. Though it is unlikely that there would be spot-
ting from the oils if you skipped this step, it’s better to err on the side
of caution and protect your clothing.
