Bladder cancer causing chemicals are hiding in the products you use to treat and colour your hair
In the past, studies showed that working as a hairdresser puts you at a significant risk of bladder
cancer. And it’s because of their every day, high exposure to all the chemicals in hair products and dyes.
But now, researchers are saying sitting in the chair at the hairdresser is just as bad. Even if it is only for three hours every other month.
This because, even if your exposure to minute particles of carcinogens is infrequent,
it’s still exposure which increases your cancer risk.
But surely with the changes in legislation, hair products and dyes shouldn’t contain cancer-causing agents!
The sad thing is, despite it being law, some manufacturers still add carcinogens to their products. Even if it is by accident, some chemicals react and leave your favourite products with cancerous effects.
It really may be accidental on the manufacturer’s part.
When researchers from the Lund University looked into the possibility of cancer-causing compounds in hair products, they found it wasn’t necessarily something manufacturers were putting into the products directly.
It was more a case of the chemical reactions that took place in the mixing process of various chemicals.
They form toluidines in your system and, when you have frequent exposure, they increase your cancer risk, but more specifically, your bladder cancer risk.
One of the lead authors from the University had this to say: “We believe there is some kind of contamination in the production process which we need to investigate. No-one really knows.”
And it’s happening everywhere. A study performed in the US, Turkey and Sweden showed there were still aromatic amines in almost every hair product. And these are the compounds that lead to the formation of bladder tumours!
But they’re sneaky…
They’re the ones that make hair products and dyes smell pleasant. And so you wouldn’t even realise they’re harmful because they don’t have a negative smell associated to them.
So what do you do to minimise your risk of developing a bladder
tumour while still enjoying “me time”.

Are you feeding your family cancer?
I’m writing you today about a problem so invasive... So dangerous... And so hidden it’s put every South African who shops in a supermarket at risk.
It’s the pesticides in our food, the preservatives and additives in our skin care products, even the synthetic materials in our clothes.
Let’s start with what we eat...

Limit your exposure to cancer-causing hair products
While some studies say it’s only hairdressers, who have high and
constant exposure to hair products that run the risk of bladder cancer, it’s not worth taking the chance with your own life.
So there are two things you can do to limit your exposure and lower your cancer risk:
1. Find a hairdresser you know and trust to ban the use of cancer-causing chemicals, or find one that uses only organic products on your hair.
2. Go natural and rather find something else to do during “me time”, like walking or finding another healthy hobby.
Whichever you choose, just make sure you’re choosing something that limits your exposure to cancer-causing chemicals!
And before we go, we’re going to give you a few tips on how to
really lower your cancer risk…

The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").
And if you or someone you love is battling cancer...
You definitely can't afford to ignore what could very well be the only natural compound that stops this stealth killer in its tracks.
