 Subject: Hand Cream
Message:
I started a new thread about hand creams. I agree with Cheryl, I use shea butter. We have a store called Bath and Body and the cream is called glove potion #9. It has olive and avocado oils and has citrus so it smells nice too. It can be greasy if you use too much so a little goes a long way. It's in a 2.5 tube and is $12.
Cheryl, do you listen to Dr. Zorba Pastuer on public radio?? I heard that same thing about the hand soap and singing the ABC song while washing your hands.

Grace,
i might have heard it on NPR. i am a listener. all i know is, it made sense and stuck with me. i have stopped buying anti-bacterial soaps, all the time, though. killing ALL the germs just can't be beneficial ALL the time.

Cheryl - did you watch that germ mythbreaker show, maybe 20/20, a little while back? It was about health myths and antibacterial soap was right up there with ineffective products! There is the reason you cite about making us immune to antibiotics when we NEED them to work. Plus, it really does nothing better than a good handwashing, germwise. It's also harsh on the hands. I have taken to filling all my dispensers here with moisturing body wash soaps. I picked up a cheap, HUGE one in gingerbread for the holidays!

The Infection Control nurses at work stated that washing with ordinary soap was just as effective as the antibacterial soap (and much less expensive)

Lorraine I have heard that too. The important part of the cleansing is the duration factor. Another point about anti bacterial everything is that if we are consumed with the germs we will be consumed by the germs. We will become less able to combat any little critter that comes along, leaving us totally susceptible to everything rather than having the ability to ward off even minor illness.

i did not see the 20/20 episode about health myths. doctors have so willingly written Rx's for antibiotics, that we're all going to be running, sreamming when the bad bugs start multiplying! i need antibiotics when i'm really sick and also before dental procedures like many people, but i think a lot of people talk their doctors into them when they are not needed. between the antibacterial soaps and the alcohol hand sanitizers, it's going to be us against "the bugs"!!

Here in Canada there is a big awareness campaign to inform people about the uselessness of antibiotics against viruses as in colds and flu. There are superbugs that have developed such as VRE. These patients have to be isolated when in the hospital to avoid spreading to other patients. These bugs have become resistant to the big antibiotics which we would normally use.

My sister lives in Winnepeg, which is near Selkirk. I'm in Alberta (about 12 hours by car).
These bugs are all over the world so it is a worldwide problem.
