About the Book

Presently, there is not a book quite like Get A Whiff Of This.  Books have been written about cosmetic ingredients, yet most people are not aware of the serious, harmful health effects of fragrance chemicals due to false advertising, failure to bear warning labels, and lack of media attention.  Millions of people are disabled from repeated exposures to these deleterious products.  Synthetic fragrances are ubiquitous in the U.S., and avoidance is nearly impossible unless a person remains housebound.  Many people are under the false impression that perfumes are derived from flowers and other natural sources.

Get A Whiff Of This will educate people and, therefore, give readers the knowledge they need in order to protect their health and the health of their loved ones.  Incidents of Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), which has become an alarmingly growing epidemic in the U.S., asthma, and central nervous system and neurological disorders are on the rise.  Women are being diagnosed with breast cancer at younger ages.  Read and learn what expert doctors have to say about breast cancer and the perfume connection – and much more...

Perfumes were once derived from natural sources, such as wild flowers, plants, and diluted animal secretions. Musk was derived from the gland of the genitalia of the male musk deer. After World War II, synthetic chemicals were discovered, and they were much cheaper and easier to use for creating fragrances. Throughout the last fifty years, much has changed in perfume making, particularly since the 70s and early 1980s. Due to Trade Secret laws, most people are not aware of what’s really in these products.

The fragrance industry certainly portrays their products as benign, with advertisements publicizing perfumes and other scented goods as fresh, clean, alluring, sexy, and pure, often including a bouquet of flowers in the background. The truth is that perfumes contain a large number of harmful substances. Few perfume chemicals are safety tested. Although fragrances fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA, they are not regulated.

This book will supply information you have a right to know. You will finally learn the truth, empowering yourself to utilize wise decisions regarding purchasing personal care products while enhancing your understanding of your health and the health of those around you.

It’s unlikely that you will learn what I’m about to share from newspapers or television media due to advertising dollar revenues.

What you are about to learn is not pretty. 

I’ve included my own personal story, which includes additional evidence. I am a former user of numerous fragranced products.
