INTRODUCTION
Many products and healthcare alternatives are being researched including all natural supplement and medical supplements. Toxic products we use in our everyday life, are being exposed as causing cancer and other physical and mental ailments. The products that are found to be all natural and healthy are very beneficial to not only the public but to your household as well.
Quality healthcare has diminished, while healthcare costs have increased. Thousands of chemicals we use on a daily basis contain carcinogens (meaning cancer generating) – including pesticides, detergents, toothpaste, cosmetics, food additives and even baby products.
Quality, low cost natural supplements are key solutions to low quality healthcare and rising healthcare costs. All natural, toxic free and environmentally friendly products will help aid in improving healthcare and decrease the risk of cancer. Melaleuca, The Wellness Company, has proven to provide all natural reasonable and environmental products.
To prove the effectiveness of all natural products. I plan to answer the questions to the following:
1. What are some comparisons of Melaleuca’s natural products and other products?
2. What are the consequences of regular products containing toxins?

Ingredients:
Coenzymes Q10 – 70 mg - Your body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. In 1961, scientists saw that people with cancer had little CoQ10 in their blood. They found low CoQ10 blood levels in people with myeloma, lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck. Some research has suggested that CoQ10 helps the immune system and may be useful as a secondary treatment for cancer (WebMD).
Alpha Lipoic Acid – 70 mg – Alpha-lipoic acid seems to help prevent certain kinds of cell damage in the body, and also restores vitamin levels such as vitamin E and vitamin C. There is also evidence that alpha-lipoic acid can improve the function and conduction of neurons in diabetes (WebMD).
Alpha-lipoic acid is used in the body to break down carbohydrates and to make energy for the other organs in the body (WebMD).
Alpha-lipoic acid seems to work as an antioxidant, which means that it might provide protection to the brain under conditions of damage or injury. The antioxidant effects might also be helpful in certain liver diseases (WebMD).
Mixed Tocotrienol Blend – 50 mg - Tocotrienol was found to inhibit cholesterol production in the liver, suppresses hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity that results in the lowering of LDL cholesterol levels, also have been shown to suppress/lower plasma cholesterol in humans (Tocotrienol).
