I took control to save my life
Take control of your life
I took control. Today I am alive and well.
This is my story. The blog and website is to help people take control and get their life back. It can help those with a chronic conditions (such as diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, bowel diseases and many more) as well as those who are healthy and intend to stay that way
In 2008, I was diagnosed with stage IV bowel cancer.
I chose immediate surgery and the strongest chemotherapy available. Unfortunately, this was the only option I considered. I was a Registered Nurse, very experienced with surgery and chemotherapy treatments for bowel cancer and a researcher for the State Health Department.
Several months after surgery, chemotherapy ceased because it made me too sick. Months later I had liver secondaries removed. So I had cancer in my colon, blood vessels, lymph nodes and my liver!
18 months later, I was much worse and getting sicker and heavier every day. For the first time in my life I craved processed foods, especially sweets. I’d wake in the middle of the night starving. I refused to weigh myself or have pictures taken. I was at least 40kgs overweight.
This was NOT working. I did not like HOW I felt or WHAT I saw for my future.
If I wanted to survive I had to change what I was doing, fast.
I took control and started to walk. The first day my husband followed in our car. I could only manage 100 meters then collapsed into the waiting car. It took hours of rest before I could even have a shower. The next day I made a little bit further. Many weeks later, I comploeted 1 kilometer without an escort. Eventually, I achieved 3 kilometers each way. Each day I needed a shower as I was soaked in foul smelling sweat.
I started to read alternative health books and looked on the internet. I became more confused and frustrated. Taking control was challenging.
I was really sick, my brain was foggy and it was extremely hard to sit at a computer and concentrate. Even with a university education in research, I found it too hard to evaluate so much conflicting research. Specific herbs, so many different treatments, one shop cures and just plain ridiculous claims. Everyone tried to help by providing more and more conflicting sites and information. Someone sent me information about toxins in the home and the need for minerals and vitamins. I flicked through and put it away.
I was a nurse who believed we got all our nutrition from a healthy diet plus “They wouldn’t be able to sell things if they weren’t safe” . So I dismissed those who suggested there were poisons in my home which made it harder for my body to recover.
The more I read, the recurring theme seemed to be to reduce the toxins put on my skin and used around the home. I used washing powder and other products that were safe for the environment. I later discovered they were not safe for me!
Months later I meet the wonderful lady who sent that information about toxins and by then I was ready to listen! She introduced me to a company that avoids over 3,600 questionable chemicals. Check it our for yourself at https://themullers.shiftingretail.com.au/ or contact me for information about other countries
Through this company, I’ve meet an incredible world-wide network of professionals, been to national and international conferences, discovered the scientific information I needed plus easy to read books and websites to back it all up. My job had been to investigate scientific research and evaluate to develop programs for State health programs. I had not had access to this information via my databases.
Many studies show that by taking control of our home environment we will make the most impact on our health. It is usually not the toxic fumes from the nearby highway, it’s the chemicals in your perfume, after shave or air-freshener, the air-conditioner recycling off-gases from carpets , furniture and toxic cleaning products. Take control: minimize use of chemicals, find safer products.
I aim to provide hope, simple access to information and the products I personally use and endorse.
Take control of toxins in Your Home to reduce the load on your liver, kidneys, bowel & improve your immune system to help them can do their job – protecting you.
Take control of:
- Bathroom/ personal care products
- Household cleaning products
As a nurse, it took years for me to be able to say “change your bathroom and your cleaning products: it is pivotal to getting well”. Until I saw the incredible changes when that is all someone did. You’re going to buy soap, shampoo and toothpaste so change brands and be safe.
Take Control: become informed
We think the pesticides, fungicides and insecticides in our food are the most damaging to our health. However, toxicologists warn that toxic chemicals found in our soaps, shampoos, perfumes, deodorants, dental care, cosmetics and household cleaning products are far more dangerous. Our skin and lungs are in contact with many of these 24 hours per day.
These tiny toxic chemicals enter your blood stream via the skin or lungs and accumulate in your organs to perhaps cause inflammation, rashes, difficulty breathing, digestive and other problems immediately or even many years in the future. The vast majority of chemicals used within the home have never been tested for safety. Just because a product is sold over the counter, DOES NOT mean it is safe. These products are a business and profits usually rate over safety.
Unfortunately, current government legislation does not ensure safety. You need to take control to protect your family. A label does not even have to list all the ingredients! Many of the questionable chemicals have multiple names. If you are looking for the few you know to be dangerous, they could either be there under a different name, or not listed at all!
In Australia the terms “Natural” or “Organic” only mean that the product has a minimum of one or two natural or organic ingredients: not that all the ingredients are natural or organic. It does not mean pure or safe. Many of the ingredients can either be toxic by themselves, combine with others ingredients to form a toxic compound, or even safe until heated to body temperature once applied and then become toxic. And, natural ingredients such as coconut can be used to make toxic ingredients but still be innocently labelled as Made from coconut.
Take control with your dollars to improve your health and that of the planet. Find a company that you can TRUST, that makes products you are confident to safely allow into your home. Ensure in writing Safe for human chemistry.
Save the stress of shopping around to read incomprehensible labels. Shop in the comfort of your home for safe products for your entire home from the only manufacturer I trust.
