Perhaps "natural" and "chemical" are not the correct terms, often what
is more dangerous to use than ANYTHING are "processed" items. Sugar
is natural, BUT it is HIGHLY processed and in my mind is one of the
most harmful and toxic substances on the planet, simply because of the
way it is "processed". I've spent several years rebuilding my immune
system and ridding it of toxic "processed" substances, wheat, sugar,
NSAIDS, and other such things. The "chemical" hair dyes are just the
latest of the toxins I'm ridding myself of. ANYONE can be ALLERGIC to
anything, but natural UNPROCESSED substances are much more likely to
be safer than man-made PROCESSED substances. When people take natural
occuring substances and process them down, and rearrange their
molecular structure by heating, cooling, adding other things, or
however it's done, it makes it a different substance. Like cocaine
for instance, natural YES, processed VERY MUCH SO. People in south
america chew on the leaves right off the trees, the UNPROCESSED
leaves, have little to no dangerous affects on them what so ever, that
can hardly be said for cocaine. And as for marijuana, I wouldn't put
it in the same category as arsnic and cyanide. Not to get into a
major debate over marijuana, but in recent studies, it has been shown
to not only NOT be addictive, it's been shown to not cause ANY brain
damage what so ever, even in long term serious users. Is it for
everyone, nope, but then neither is broccoli!! :) Oh, and just as a
side note, after eliminating wheat, sugar and potatoes from my diet,
I've lost 90 pounds, yep, you read that right 90 pounds in ONE YEAR.
I eat EVERYTHING else, just not those things!! Think they aren't bad
for you?????????

But my main point is, natural, UNPROCESSED items, those found right
out of nature, grown in healthy, organic conditions are much more
likely to be accepted by most people. My 11 year old son is allergic
to store bought eggs, BUT can eat the eggs from OUR own chickens.
Wonder why?? Ever wonder about the drugs, and crap that are fed to
those poor animals?? PROCESSING...... That is a much more accurate
word than "natural" or "chemical", in my humble opinion anyway!! :)

Peace,
Ginny
