Danny: your opinion on various commercial soaps, deodorants, shampoos etc. Do you use them? Do you think other people should use them? What do you think?
Georgi: I avoid them like the plague for no other reason, but I recently found out and I think we talked about this offline. The original USDA standard was created in the 1970s and I think it originally only allowed only 5 chemicals that do not occur in nature to be part of any organic product. Little by little, slowly, without much publicity or fanfare this list has increased from 5 to 278, to the point where we have known carcinogens, such as carrageenan and the various gums, these are allowed to be included in organic foods and in many states, they do not even have to be present on the label. So if basically that is the flagship standard of food and what the healthiest thing you can buy virtually ingests, imagine what kind of laws are there that allows the industry to not label the poison that is in your shampoo or in your soap. Some of the stuff that is labelled, is pretty bad. There are some derivatives, some plasticides that I posted on the forum, they are related to the beta chemical called BPA and these things are added directly to your shampoo and soap. Not to mention the artificial fragrances, many of which are known carcinogens. The official version, well we are not adding them in the doses where they are known to cause cancer. However, remember in order for us to know the full effect of a chemical on an organism, whether it is a drug or something that is added to a shampoo or soap, usually two or three decades need to pass until we get a full idea of the long term effect. So knowing how much money is involved in the whole industry, I avoid all these products like the plague and the only soap I use is pure glycerine soap that I buy from Wholefoods. I actually wrote to the manufacturer, cause I didn’t trust the label either, even though it looks, it’s just a transparent soap. It doesn’t smell like anything. It just smells like soap. The manufacturer sent me a certificate of analysis, after some back and forth. They wanted to know why am I asking about this? Am I a researcher? Am I a cop? Am I trying to sue them? Yeah I’m serious about this. They were very defensive about this. They released a certificate of analysis because they apparentlt hired an independent lab to do an analysis of the soap because they wanted to certify it as organic. They didn’t certify it because it was too expensive, but at least they claimed that whatever soap they sell it stills the certificate of analysis that was sold, which was six months ago is still valid. The plain, if you shop at wholefoods, I don’t endorse their products, but that’s the one I use, the plain 365 brand of soap and they have several ones of the same brand. Some of them with vitamin e, some of them with lavender oil, some of them with almond oil, I had reactions to all of them except the plain glycerine in it, which has nothing in it but that and sodium hydroxide in it.
