For years the wife of a friend of mine suffered severe joint pain which limited her mobility and pretty much ended her music performances. She was able to continue composing using computer systems.

After years of doctors, pills, special shoes, etc. ... it was finally discovered that the problem was traces of formaldehyde found in common cosmetics and other household products. After replacing the products and cosmetics with others free from known sources of formaldehyde, her joint pains went away and have stayed away. She is back to performing music and hiking.

This is no joke. We are deluged with chemicals every day, and in many cases sensitivities and reactions do not show up in the short time alloted for testing,... if indeed any testing is done at all.

If people are suffering from strange maladies that the doctors cannot explain, take a lesson from this experience. Many of the doctors to whom she had paid thousands of dollars over the years,...not one of them knew that formaldehyde could produce those kind of symptoms,...nor that formaldehyde (used as embalming fluid) is found in numerous household products.
