Well folks, have you ever wondered why things have changed so much over the last century when it comes to peoples health? None of us have enough definitive answers. There is a direct correlation however, between the amount of electronics we are constantly surrounded by, bombarded with their radiation and a long list of maladies, from headaches to cancer! Microwaves are streaming thru us literally, the better part of a 24 hr. day from Cellphones, microwaves, TV's, computers, stereo's etc.
We have a card that absorbs 99% of these rays and it lasts up to 6 years! IT Techs, phone company workers, powerline workers have been using these cards for a decade now. At a cost of anywhere from $300-600+ and last only up to 2 years, it has been out of the reach of us commoners until now.
We can now get them to you for $99! If you are pregnant or simply work in an office all day, surrounded by computers, printers, phones, blackberries etc. you especially want to read this and check the link at the bottom for more indepth information and purchasing, if you so choose.
Science and technology are constantly improving. And though such improvements enhance the world with greater convenience, there are some technologies that produce unsafe Electro-Magnetic Field waves.
In varying degree's, common household appliances and electronic devices emit electromagnetic fields or EMFs. These EMFs, and the frequency waves they produce, are invisible, colorless, odorless and unavoidable. They are also becoming one of the latest global concerns of the modern era.
In recent years, anxiety over the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has been a public concern;
It has been suggested that overexposure to EMFs may:
· Cause headache, insomnia and depression
· Influence people’s well-being and biological responses
· Have effects on the cognitive functions of humans
· Effect visual acuity
Committed to creating innovative healthcare products, Winalite proves that “Technology Creates protection” with its WINALITE EMF CARD. The EMF CARD is a breakthrough wallet-sized card that absorbs and reduces electromagnetic fields from common electronic devices we use daily. The EMF CARD helps to reduce the electromagnetic field pollution impacting the body; thereby helping to sustain balanced energy. It can absorb EMF within a radius of 50 centimeters or approximately 20 inches from the card.
While using electronic devices and appliances in close proximity (such as computers, portable video games, mobile phones, LCD & Plasma TV's, microwave ovens etc.), place the EMF CARD near the chest area. A shirt pocket is an ideal location. It can also be carried in your pocket, wallet or purse. You could also put it on a lanyard and wear it in a badge card holder around your neck.
The EMF CARD by Winalite has been tested by the China Electronic Technology University and China Technology Test Research Laboratory. The EMF Card …
· Is designed to absorb and reduce electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
· Has a lifespan of approximately 6 years; providing long term protection

Panty Liners!
Winalite Love Moon Anion Panty Liners
(1 Package, containing 30 Panty Liners each).
Buy now for our everyday low price of $5.49 each!
Winalite's Love Moon "Anion" Sanitary Napkins are a completely revolutionary concept in feminine hygiene. Comprised entirely of natural, biodegradable, and food grade products, this superior line of feminine napkins delivers unparalleled performance in absorbency, comfort and odor elimination.
From the resealable foil package to the individual foil packaging for each pad, sterile and hypoallergenic concerns have been implemented into all aspects of the engineering and manufacturing process.
Two of the key components in the seven layer construction of Anion Sanitary Napkins are an innovative negative ion strip and a layer of food grade absorbent which eradicates bacteria and odor for the driest, most comfortable and fuss free usage over that of any other competitive product in the marketplace.
The surface layer is made of thin silk and soft cotton materials to keep the delicate skin dry and comfortable.
The middle layer contains highly effective food grade, non-toxic absorbent agents converting the liquid discharge into a gelatinous state, to eliminate any stickiness and maintaining a fresh and dry feeling. The base layer is made of air permeable materials that promote the diffusion of water molecules in a gaseous state, rapidly dissipating moisture, and effectively reducing wetness and heat between the napkin and the skin.
Liquid discharge is completely absorbed such that there is no back flow or leakage, while ultra soft cotton separation layers and a specially designed back adhesive provide for superior comfort and application of these odor and moisture free, sanitary pads.
Each pad is individually sealed in air-tight packets, ensuring the maximum in hygeine for a germ free product when dispensed.

Important Info for womens hygiene!
How to choose sanitary napkins;
The human body is a delicate and complex system. The menstrual cycle is a special characteristic of female maturity that brings both blessings and possible problems for women. The menstrual cycle will go on for about half the life of a woman, i.e. at least 2,000 to 3,000 days. According to theories in Chinese medicine, a woman’s body is at its weakest during menstruation and if there are no proper measures of protection taken during this time, the woman’s health could be affected. As such, it is important to correct some misconceptions and wrong practices during menstruation.
Common mistakes in the use of sanitary napkins:
1. Not washing your hands clean before handling a new sanitary napkin: In the process of opening, flattening and putting on a sanitary napkin, the hands may bring many bacteria onto the sanitary napkin.
2. Not paying attention to the expiry date: In fact, the requirements for hygienic standard of sanitary napkin are very strict and the sanitary napkin is of poorer quality if it is closer to the expiry date.
3. Using sanitary napkins with medication or fragrance: Most doctors would not recommend such products because the medication and fragrance may have undesirable side effects on the body.
4. Preferring to have high absorption: It is wrong to look for sanitary napkins with high absorption in the hope that sanitary napkins need not be changed frequently. This would lead to growth of more bacteria.
Total protection for women on menstruation:
When healthy women come to the maturity age, the ovaries will undergo periodic changes as the ovules develop, mature and get discharged out of the body. At the same time, there is secretion of sex hormones. The endometrium in the uterus, which is controlled by the sex hormones, will then undergo changes of thickening, shedding and repair. When the endometrium is discharged through the vagina together with some blood, it is known as menstruation. The menstrual "cycle" is normally for 28 to 30 days and for each menstruation, the blood loss is about 50ml. Each menstruation may last for 3 to 7 days. Periodic menstruation is an essential condition for reproduction and it indicates that the reproductive system is normal. This is an important indication of the women’s physical health.
How to choose suitable sanitary napkins:
During menstruation, the skin of the women’s sensitive part's is most vulnerable. Surveys have shown that 73% of the women would feel itchiness and pain on some parts of the skin during menstruation. These are mostly caused by the use of sanitary napkins which are not air permeable. As such, it is of critical importance to choose suitable sanitary napkins to ensure safety during menstruation. Sanitary napkins are normally made up of three layers: surface layer, absorbent layer and underlying layer. The choice of sanitary napkins should be based on considerations relating to the materials and functions of these three layers.
Firstly, the surface layer should preferably have a cotton net surface with rapid absorption to avoid wet skin surface. The funnel type of design is better than the bucket type of design as the discharge absorbed would not backflow easily.
Secondly, the middle layer should have effective absorption agents that can turn the absorbed liquid discharge into a jelly-like state so that it would not backflow when pressed and would not cause the sticky feeling.
Thirdly, the underlying layer should be made of air permeable materials to allow diffusion of water molecules in the gaseous state. This would keep away the moist air to effectively reduce the moisture and heat between the sanitary napkins and the body so that there is a dry and refreshed feeling.
Changing sanitary napkins to avoid troubles:
Due to the special physical characteristics of women, the sanitary napkin is the women’s indispensable ‘friend’ but this friend may bring considerable troubles when it is not treated well. For ordinary sanitary napkin used continuously for two hours, its surface may have bacteria numbering up to 107 per square centimeter and this contamination may seriously affect the health of the woman.
Symptoms of infection during menstruation include mild fever, external genital infection, skin itch, ascending infections (such as vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, leukorrhagia, localized burning sensation or lower abdominal pain, or with fever, nausea; infections of urinary system including urinary tract infection, bladder infection, pyelonephritis, frequent urination, dysuria, waist sore and waist pain with fatigue or fever. These may lead to other more serious female genital diseases.

The Truth About Tampons......
By Catherine-Elliott Lopez
The following information came to our attention here at Women Alive, and we thought we would pass it on to you, our readers.
Recently there has been much controversy regarding the presence of Dioxin, Rayon, and other harmful agents in feminine hygiene products, mainly tampons and sanitary napkins. Dioxin, which has been called one of the most toxic substances ever created by humans, is a by-product of the chlorine bleaching process used in the production of tampons and pads. Dioxin is potentially carcinogenic (cancer-causing), and is known to impair the immune and reproductive systems.
Swedish studies have shown a link between tampons containing dioxin, and other chlorine by-products, and an increased risk of cancers of the female reproductive tract (especially the uterus, ovaries and bladder).
Rayon itself poses another risk. Unknown to most women, rayon and rayon-cotton blend fibers are widely used in commercial feminine hygiene products. Rayon used to make tampons is usually treated with chemicals to increase the absorption capability.
AdvertisementThese super absorbent fibers then absorb not only the menstrual blood, but normal vaginal secretions as well, causing drying, and ulceration of vaginal tissues. The fibers can also become imbedded in the vaginal walls. Rayon fibers have been scientifically proven to amplify the production of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin TSST1.
Toxic Shock Syndrome is a rare bacterial illness that caused over 50 deaths between 1979 and 1980. Unlike medical grade cotton, upon which the TSS toxin will not grow, the rayon acts like a petri dish encouraging bacterial growth. What makes these toxic residues even more disturbing, is that they come in direct contact with some of the most absorbent tissue in a woman's body.
According to a doctor at New York University Medical Center, almost anything placed on this tissue, including Dioxin, gets absorbed into the body.
Why is it acceptable to have toxic substances in our feminine hygiene products? The tampon industry is convinced that women need bleached white products. They seem to think that we view this as "pure" and "clean." The fact is, if Dioxin puts women at risk for cancer and Dioxin is stored in fatty tissue (just like that found in the vagina), and a woman uses as many as 11,000 tampons in her lifetime, could the long term use of tampons increase cancer risk?
An FDA report said that "the most effective risk-management strategy would be to assure that tampons, and menstrual pads, contain no Dioxin." Although the FDA currently requires tampon manufacturers to monitor Dioxin levels, the results are not available to the public. The dioxin tests, are done by the manufacturers themselves, who insist their products are safe. Tampon manufacturers are not required to disclose ingredients to consumers, although many will do so voluntarily.
How much Dioxin exposure is considered safe for humans? Why has there been more research done on the possible health effects of chlorine-bleached coffee filters than on chlorine bleached tampons and related products? Women need to demand that more research be done on these issues. We have a right to know about any potential hazards associated with tampons and related products. It is only when women fully understand the consequences that we can make informed decisions regarding our health and well being.
Writer's note: Currently there are only a few non-chlorine bleached all cotton tampons available in the US. Ask about them at your local store, if they are not available, ask them to special order or click the link below!

Writer's note: Currently there are only a few non-chlorine bleached all cotton tampons available in the US. Ask about them at your local store, if they are not available, ask them to special order or click the link below!
