I have a question—I have done most of these things and we’re using GOOD natural stuff now. But the one thing I CANNOT find in a natural form is hair goop (for lack of a better term!). I have short hair and I use it to give my hair that piecy, textured look. I’ve tried the homemade beach spray….that just leaves my hair crispy like too much hairspray. Any advice from any short-haired women??

I just found your site through pinterest. Gotta make those Lu bars-YUM! Anyway, I of course checked out this post because I just dejunked my bathrooms and still have the crystal deodorant (the one you have!) and after looking at it (at the natural food store where I purchased it) questioned about the alum in it…..then continued to use it. I can’t believe I didn’t look into it further because of what it said about not containing aluminum chlorohydrate. I feel duped. And to think I was trying to do something good for my body. I have used coconut oil straight as a deodorant and will start using it all the time now. Thank you for shining some light. Jess

This is really interesting information. Just wondering if there is anything in your book about the dangers of taking birth control and the high levels of hormones contained in them which can increase your risk of breast cancer by 64%. It just seems like if you are going to chase down every little chemical that we consume that could give cancer, we should remove the most toxic deadly ones too. find out about NFP!
