Dangerous Beauty: Cosmetics & Personal Care by Peter Dingle
This book will change the way you look at cosmetics and personal care products for the better. Based on 10 years of research and over 1000 scientific references it puts the truth about cosmetics and personal care products at your fingertips.
Since its first publication as a 60 page pamphlet 20 years ago, science has shown an even clearer link between the toxic chemicals hidden in these products and chronic illness, especially breast cancer. While there may be only small amounts of these chemicals added to these products, we now know they are applied many times each day and directly to our skin.
Other chronic health conditions linked with these products include skin conditions, asthma and allergies, weight gain, diabetes and metabolic syndrome and other cancers such as skin and prostate cancers. Many of the toxic chemicals added to these products are quickly and efficiently absorbed through the skin and blood, and can play havoc with your hormones leading to an increase in hormone relate cancers, thyroid dysfunction and reproductive difficulties in both males and females.
By reading this book you will learn not just about the health problems associated with these products but which chemicals and products you can avoid and what to look for in a safer product. Making safer choices can go along way to improving your health.
There is now just too much science to ignore it.

EMBRACING THE GIFT OF HIGH SENSITIVITY (A GUIDE TO LIVING JOYFULLY) BY MARK WELLS
HSPs comprise about a fifth of the human population. There is the same number of males as females although it may be less observable in the behaviour of many males because of upbringing and the influence of cultural stereotypes.
One of the greatest pains for anyone in this world is to feel thwarted in their ability to contribute and communicate.
Author Mark Wells is himself a HSP and as a practitioner has worked with thousands of HSPs over 35 years. He provides a powerful and convincing ‘voice’ for HSPs that encourages the less sensitive majority to take notice, understand and appreciate the valuable contribution someone with high sensitivity makes to the world.
Wells says: “I gain great satisfaction from assisting other HSPs — adults and children — to live healthy, contented and productive lives, which make room for their sensitivity and respect their depth of feeling and perception.”
