Safer Alternative All Natural Travel Essentials

November 24th, 2008

We have created a website that provides access to safer alternative all-natural travel essentials.

It is hard to find travel size versions of all your skin, body and hair care needs - and if you happen to be using off-the-shelf products from most major manufacturers we would recommend that you DO NOT bother anyway, because such products are innevitably full of synthetic chemicals that are known to be toxic and dangerous to health and environment.

This may seem odd - if you are not already informed about toxic ingredients in skincare, hair care and other personal care prodcts inclusing cosmetics. How can products that are made to applied to your body - often to sensitive areas - contain poisonous chemicals? Sadly the answer is quite simple - PROFIT. The multi-billion dollar industries behind cosmatics and skin care brands are extremely powerful and hold many ‘media trump-cards’…after all there are many magazine that would go out of business if they stopped receiving the many millions of dollars of marketing spend from cosmetics and skincare companies overnight!

Although more and more research is emerging to confirm that your skincare products may be slowly poisoning you, and your kids, there is still not enough ‘will’ in the money-oriented media and skin care and cosmetics businesses to make any radical changes…YET!

SO it is simply up to you to CHOOSE safer alternative products that are formulated only using natural ingredients that have a heritage of sometimes thousands of years of safe use.

For a range of travel-size natural travel essentials made up from the world’s safer alternative all natural products, formulated by smaller, ethically-driven manufacturers, take a look at: http://www.naturaltravelessential.com

It’s a new site and will continue to feature more products and natural trvel essential packs very soon - so keep in touch.

A New Interface for Safer Alternative Products and Articles

October 29th, 2008

For the last few years now Safer Alternative has promoted the use of less toxic products in our everyday lives. We used to post regularly at http://www.toxictimebomb.blogspot.com until we got too busy developing both “Go Natural and Organic“, a kind of online ‘natural health magazine’ website, and our major skin and body products portal accessible via www.saferalternative.com.

But it seemed useful to pull these disparate efforts together in one place here under this umbrella site www.SaferAlternative.org - so here it is.

This is just an introductory post whilst we work on adding some content and the links through to the other sites.

We happen to believe that it is every individuals responsibility to look after their own God-given health and not to abdicate this task and then blame ‘the system’ when things go wrong. We are living in strange times, a period when we have seen what are supposedly amazing scientific advances in medicine that should have made us more able to look after our health than ever before in the history of Mankind. Yet in many respects the reverse is occurring. And even a cursory examination of the situation leads us to conclude that it doesn’t take any degree of genius to work out why!

  • In a nutshell…how could any species evolve on a planet such as ours, for half-a-million years or more, only to come to a point where it belives that its futher development and survival to depends on the use of non-natural, man-made, questionable medicinal interventions?

Plainly - ridiculous and illogical.

  • On top of this…how can a species, no matter how intellectually advanced (beyond any other that shares the same Earth) have come to a point where it thinks it can perpetually, continuously, day-in-day-out assault its own biological system, and the planet’s whole natural system, with an increasing arrray of synthetic chemical concoctions and not end up paying the price?!

Well - are paying the price.

  • In terms of our decaying and deteriorating health.
  • In terms of increasing ecological damage and impending environmental disaster.

So - surely the only thing that we can do now is step back and choose to take a less toxic route. We need to choose to live less-toxic, healthier lifetyles and choose to replace our vast array of chemically dubious daily-use products with safer aternative products!

We can only do our own small part to provide access to some of the best of these safer alternative products currently starting to be made available by ethically inspired enterprises around the world.

Choose health for yourself and those you care about. Buy safer alternative products and start to make a contribution, no matter how small, to de-toxing yourself and the planet! Helping you do this is the simple, but we belive critical, mission of saferalternative.org.
