I have more feedback from a chemist, Mr. Wayne Fretz, who claims chemicals if used in small amounts are perfectly safe for you and pose no danger. Well everyone is entitled to their own views and surely a chemist would be able to give a balanced view on the subject. Hmmmmmm! See what you think after reading the transcript. I have my doubts quite frankly that everyday exposure
to water can cause long term health problems as Wayne suggests, but then
chemists do see things differently to those of us who are perhaps a little
more in tune with nature and the environment.

I have been a highly respected formulation development
chemist for more than 40 years, and as such it has been my business to
study the performance and safety of compounds used in today's skin care
and hair care products.
I ran across your site when I was looking for something else. I simply
cannot believe what I read about the toxicity of most of the compounds
that you list. This is sheer garbage - even worse than the lies put out
by Neways. Most of your listed compounds have had a very safe history of
use for many years. Are you simply take the MSDS on these compounds at
100% usage then passing the dangers onto products that may contain only
0.1% of the compound.
Being a chemist, I can just laugh at you. My biggest concern is that the
average consumer is not a chemist so he or she is led to believe your
baloney.
By the way, you forgot to mention WATER - since it is widely used in
drain openers, toilet bowl cleaners and many deadly finished products.
As consumers become more aware about ingredients, you and companies like
you will lose in the long run.
If you have good products to sell, then why don't you concentrate of the
features and benefits of these. This way you will win.
I'm not expecting a response from you since my comments will go in the
waste basket as soon as you read them.
Sincerely, Wayne Fretz

Hi Wayne,
I welcome comments like this as I like to
publish what others like you believe about synthetic chemicals and
their long term safety as regards the health of individuals who have
been exposed to man-made synthetic chemicals over a lifetime.
If, as you say, these chemicals have a
"safe history for many years" then the public has nothing to worry
about. I'm sure the average person of reasonable intellect can make
their own decisions when it comes to using any of the 70,000 plus
chemicals in relatively common use, especially when it comes to
using "safe" chemicals on their own skin.
I'm happy to let people see there is more
than one side to the chemical story. I for one and millions now like
me, opt not to ingest chemicals in food nor to absorb chemicals
through the skin. We endeavour to use produce/products which has not
been poisoned by the over use of "safe" synthetic chemicals during the
growing of the crops nor the processing and the manufacturing of the
food/products for public consumption
It's entirely up to the consumer to assess
what they would like to do with their health after reading the various
information which is generally readily available on the Internet,
provided one digs enough for it. I have just provided a service which
allows interested consumers to find the information readily easily.
By the way, hundreds of thousands of
people on a daily basis are seeking information about chemicals so
they can make their own health decisions. The health-report site was
launched 7 years ago after I had experienced over two decades of
Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Perhaps you aren't aware such a
syndrome exists and how common it is in this day and age? Little is
done for these people and they are branded as malingerers and
misfits by a largely unsympathetic medical profession who only treat
the symptoms that chemists develop drugs, read chemicals, for.
The certified organic products we promote
came along many years after making information about common synthetic
chemicals readily available to the public via the health-report site.
They happen to be an adjunct to the site, not the purpose of the site.
Having been a chemical spraying contractor
since the late 1960's and exposed to countless "safe chemicals" of the
time, during the course of my work, I can "just laugh at you" too, due
to your sheer naivety of what is happening around you. It's your
health your decision if you want to use chemicals, just like it's
anyone else's decision to do the same!
Thanks for your comments. They will be
published so visitors to the site know that concerned chemists
can also have their say on the health-report.co.uk site.

PS. Please send on the information about
the dangers of exposure to water. I would be very interested to see
what scientific evidence there is against water. For instance what
happens to people who drink pure water on a regular basis and expose
their skin to it. Perhaps I'm missing something here that I am not
aware of. Maybe there are synthetic chemical residues in the water
that increases the risk to the user if water is consumed or the skin
is exposed to it. LOL!
At this stage I am still awaiting a response from Wayne and the requested information about the dangers of water on long term health. Geoff Goldie |
