Hello ladies,
I just thought that you needed to know this info and at 4 in the morning I thought of the TER
Please read and pass this on.. men pass it on too..to your wives, daughters......

This is for women who use tampons, pads are also included but not as serious as tampons.

Did you know that the tampon makers include asbestos in tampons?Why you ask? Because asbestos makes you bleed more and if you bleed more you will need more tampons.This isn't illegal b/c the powers to be with all there so called wisdom do not consider tampons as being ingested and therefore it isn't illegal or considered dangerous.

Tampons also contain two other potentially harmul things. First is rayon (for absorbency)and the second is dioxin ( a chemical used in the bleaching process). Tampon makers believe we need bleached white products so we can feel pure and clean.

Dioxin is very harmful to women. It's potentially carcinogenic (cancer causing). It's toxic to the immune and reproductive system. As well as being linked to endometriosis and low sperm count for men. It breaks down the immune system in both men and women.

Rayon is harmful b/c it leaves small fibers left behind in the vagina. This is a breeding ground for  dioxin. This is also a reason why TSS ( toxic shock syndrom) occurs. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that there is no set "acceptable" level of exposure to dioxin given that it is cumulative and slow to disintegrate. The real danger is from repeated contact and wouldn't ya say 3-5 x's a day, 4-7 days,and 35 years is repeated contact.

Organic Essentials 800-765-6491 and Terra Femme 800-755-0212 make all cotton unbleached tampons and pads. There is also another brand at WholeFoods( if you have this store in your area) but I can't remember the name. Most "natural" stores have these in stock.

If you use these you will also notice that you flow will be more like 2-3 days rather than 5-7. Remember asbestos.

I'm looking out for you ladies and after discovering/ researching this info I knew I had to share it. Thanks TER. Sorry for the spelling errors. Have a happy turkey day!

You guys are great for squashing this stuff before it gets
a million replys and replys to those replys.

I'm not sure why someone would post unattributable stuff
like this knowing it's going to be spread around.

Looks like the post was quoted directly fromt the urban
legends link you posted.

We all have opinions and can believe whatever we choose. Putting chemicals in our bodies is something I choose not to do. Everyday people are getting diagonsed with cancer, lupus, althiemers and we are all wondering how we can stop this from happening to us. The answers are so simple. I've learned this info from respected people in the holistic health field, eastern medicine, reiki, etc....I've seen people getting cured of life threathing illiness by alternative medicine. It's amazing!

Just as I was about to throw out all my American tampons.

But seriously, we are lucky to have one who takes such good care of our community.

There's one I have been wondering about.  Is it true that Osama bin Laden has taken over Naughty Ali's website and is luring virile American men to their deaths?

(Oh, and then Osama writes the reviews)

I thought you would enjoy this, since you are all so patriotic.

As we all know, the Taliban considers it a sin for a man to see a naked woman who is not his wife.  

So this Saturday at 2:00 PM Pacific time all North American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling the block for one hour is recommended for this antiterrorist effort.

All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove that they are not Taliban and they think it's okay to see other women nude and to show support for their fellow sisters. And Since the Taliban also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Taliban sentiment.

The United States of America appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation.

God Bless America!!

I've got my bag of pork rinds all fired up!

Yeeeee haaaaaa!

We are not talking about opinions here.  We are talking about
verifiable facts.  Please read the link posted in GND's post.

Back up your claims with something other than your opinion.

I'm not speaking about holistic health or alternative medicine.
We're talking about the specific claims about tampons that
you posted.
