Fragrances and chemicals in all kinds of personal hygiene products, cleaning products and detergents are also extremely toxic. I went through and transitioned away from all the commercial brands several years ago and I can’t even stand being around people that wash their clothing in Tide, the smell is so overpowering and distinct I can detect it on some people walking in a parking lot 30 feet away. I can barely stand being within a few aisles of the cleaning / laundry supplies in grocery stores and big box stores. And these brands do not have to even disclose everything in their product as long as it is a proprietary formula. That is what happens when you regard everything as generally safe. Cumulatively we end up exposed to way more than our bodies can handle. And once you detox from these chemicals I’ve found people tend to have an extreme reaction to being exposed again.

Like with a cigarette smoker's house, I have always been able to tell a person burns candles by the residue everywhere in their home. Not all the wax is consumed by the flame. It solidifies on all the surfaces.
