Re: Intestinal Ecosystem & Effects of Surface Active Agents

Hello ambless

You can go to your local library and hand them the information I posted- the info in the boxes. All the information is there for them to pull up on their databases and order it for you. The reason why I can not print the entire research for you is, because you have to get special permission to post such things to the WWW. You also have to order the information, and it can cost anywhere from 10- 40 dollars each! What I provided was the outcome of each research- their conclusion. That database -requiring a password and user name costs money to join.

Regarding the type of soap—that is irrelevant to my point really. I'm not talking about good soap versus bad soap. All surface active agents (detergents, conditioners, soaps, emulsifiers and solvents) will harm the mucosa, intestinal floral and cells in the same way. Please understand that, I agree that there are mild soaps, organic soaps made with olive oil, and there are harsh detergents full of horrible chemicals; in that sense. organic and all natural soaps are better- for OTHER uses, BUT I'm NOT talking about that- at all. I am talking about the reaction that a surface active agent has on the immune system once it damages the intestinal floral and cells, and they're all surface active agents. This is my point really.

If you have a question, and can not go to your library, I don’t mind looking up the info for you.
