To EndAllDisease, we begin by eliminating every source of toxic exposure in our lives, and what better place to begin than with your own personal care products?
I took the liberty of going to my local drug store, from where most people buy their shampoo, and took photos of 20 of the most popular and commonly used shampoo products so I could investigate each ingredient individually. I was shocked at what I had discovered.
Most people clean their hair and bodies everyday with poison, brush their teeth with poison, rub poison underneath their armpits, clean their clothes with poison, and wash their dishes with poison and then after years of this abuse, they wake up one day with cancer and wonder why. Then, of course, everybody pats them on the back and tells them it’s not their fault, and then we all blame it on genetics and cry together like we are somehow victimized by the world around us.
Here’s the Big & Empowering Secret:
We are not victims of disease, and disease doesn’t happen by accident.
Below I have analyzed one of the most popular brands of shampoo for your review. In any personal care product, each individual ingredient either enhances or diminishes your state of health. Put even more simply, each ingredient is either a nutrient, or a poison. It’s time to take a look at all of the ingredients and make an educated decision as to what you want to be washing your hair with.

Healthy Shampoo? Yes! YES! YESSS!
You didn’t think I would explode the myth about drug store shampoos being safe to use without giving you a healthy alternative, did you? Of course not!
It’s time to wake up and take action. Clearly the commercial brands of shampoo are almost all poison, and using these everyday will bioaccumulate poisons in the cells of your body and you will likely develop a disease from it at some point in your life.
The shampoo I use is by a company called Dr. Bronner and is not only free of poisons, but it has many ingredients that nourish and move your body towards a greater state of health. I have no affiliation with Dr Bronner and don’t sell his products on my website. I would rather encourage you to support your local health food store and buy it there. The beauty about this product is that it can be used to clean the hair, the body, even to wash the dishes and laundry! I highly recommend you throw out the poison you used to wash your hair with and Upgrade Your Life® by getting some clean and healthy soap.
