[@brendaveitch2641]

Can't thank you both enough for giving me hope. Have started with getting away from sugar and processed foods and increasing my vegetables. Been watching for a while now this one on toxins really hit home.

[@linedallaire6637]

Tana, your experience is precious..... a waking call to all those that had anaesthesia

[@aQuest4Truth1111]

I use Alaffia Authentic African Black Soap Tangerine Citrus. It's a 2 on Think Dirty. I use the shampoo too. The biggest thing I stopped doing earlier this year is color my hair. Since I didn't like the typical boxed color you find at Walmart which my mom insisted on buying because it's cheaper, I searched for and tried other color treatments. When it got to the point where I was coloring the roots about every 2 weeks, for me it was time to stop being vain. Of course it took a while for people to get used to the gray and some still don't like it but that's okay...I am doing this for me, my health. I am 56 years old. I would rather eat more of a vegetable or mineral to re-store my natural color....heard manganese can help do that. Hummus is supposed to have a good amount of it

[@mariaannapodraza6963]

Dr. Amen: you are amazing. You both are amazing, good people. God bless you forever. I will pray for you for the rest of my life. I LOVE YOU BOTH.

[@happyhedgehog6450]

So right about the UK. I live in Swansea, Wales, and it has rained nearly every day this year so far. I can remember maybe 3 or 4 days so far where it didn't rain. Even on those days, black clouds threatened to rain a few times. I'm so tired of not being able to play tennis outside. I've got to the point where I am willing to play in the rain but I can't find someone else willing. I don't want to play indoors. We only get a few weeks a year when it's nice and sunny and I'm sick of it.

[@Jac-o-lina3924]

After my last hair color I felt sick for a week, low dopamine , fatigue, viral symptoms so I've officially decided to stop coloring my hair

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

Such an important topic! I started this journey more than 10 years ago,.NO sunscreen, perfume (I use lavender essential oil) or hairspray for me. mineral makeup - YES! I need that list! I am using Epson Salt in my bath and EO lavender body lotion. I use Seventh Generation dish soap.

[@CeliaCavalli]

I like Pacifica for eye shadow. I have noticed too how when I switched to using clean products my skin began looking better with no makeup on than with!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I also love doterra as a one stop shop for all household clean products, I like white vinegar instead of bleach on towels in the wash and I love how Sephora has a new area for clean products in their store!

[@noraarico1313]

I use coconut oil to remove old facial and eye makeup like mascara and cleanse my face. After wiping my skin with soft disposable tissue, I use witch hazel on cotton balls as a toner to thoroughly remove remaining makeup and oils. If needed, I also gently wash and rinse my face with a soft cloth wet with soap and water and then use witch hazel again . I am still looking for a good but inexpensive moisturizer to nourish my skin and use under very light makeup. Though I read labels intensively, my knowledge of many skin product chemicals can be limited, as I am not a chemist. Less ingredients and keeping the product simple is what I try for.

[@CeliaCavalli]

I too had neurological issues after I had anesthesia to have my breast implants taken out. It made me feel so depressed and insane! I also had leaky gut. Sealed the gut and got my life back but still have to be so careful with toxins. ESP because I had my implants for 6 years when they removed them they had to take out a lot of tissue. Women unfortunately don’t have as safe of options since we use so so many products. I’m so glad videos like this are coming out to educate people from a doctors standpoint!

[@galamorello]

How did you seal your gut ?

[@CeliaCavalli]

@@galamorello during further testing we found I had celiac. It’s where gluten destroys my gut health& made me sick. Get proper testing from your doctor!

[@navymom1954]

I removed aluminum from my home and the deodorant I love is Arm and Hammer Natural Essentials Unscented and it is rated a “3” on Think Dirty. 😊

[@gondwana6303]

Vinegar is a great, natural nontoxic cleaner for every kind of surface from floors to countertops.

[@giselbello-ruiz8072]

Thank you so much for this information 😊

[@tejashreekolhe8773]

All of the products I use were an 8 on Think Dirty! Thank you for sharing! 🙂

[@lisacurtis8162]

i make my own hand soap/cleaning solution made of peroxide, tea tree oil and Castile soap. It works well.

[@pimpingaintbad]

thank you for all your hard work..

[@noraarico1313]

Using white vinegar as a disinfectant around the house and when I wash clothes makes me feel so good because vinegar is still affordable and simply purer than the other more costly, contaminating chemicals on the market. I also use salt and lemon to clean my veggies and food whenever possible. I keep a spray bottle of vinegar and water for washing fruit and veggies before peeling or cutting and also to disinfect kitchen and bathroom counters and tub.. I keep on learning about best practices for my living environments, whether at home or elsewhere because I need to stay healthy and well. I learn from others whenever practical.

[@Jac-o-lina3924]

Excellent idea, thank you

[@lissettecastillomancini7375]

How much vinegar to water?

[@christinekobzeff]

Yes!! 100 Percent Pure and Pacifica are amazing, they’ve been my favorite healthy beauty brands for years.

[@joann7774]

Zww x opc mmwm ma 2

[@cobiewentzel6916]

I just wish that Dr Amen could open up a branch of his clinics here in Cape Town, South Africa. I am not a doctor and only have a diploma in nursing. But I so wish to help people in this way..... away from invasive and addicting treatments and prescription meds that really don't help. I wish to go to work there everyday, maybe just handling their admin and being a case manager for the patients and a liaison for them with their medical aids. And just be in the shadow of doctors who help people heal, get better and live fulfilling lives... I wish!

[@TS-py2fe]

Just discovered Think Dirty and am shocked with the numbers on my favorite products that I considered a "trusted" brand. I've pitched everything and am trying out new things based on their Think Dirty score. Found a pretty good hair spray by Andalou that's a 3.

[@Hadassah_S]

I use vinegar and baking soda and some dish soap to clean, hydrogen peroxide to sanitize or instead of bleach and for my laundry. Coconut oil and/or jojoba oil as a moisturizer. When on a budget I like Dove fragrance free and Avalon shampoo.

[@Tropicalpisces]

I use no makeup, no shampoo, no conditioner, no face wash, no common deodorants. As a body wash, shave lotion, hair soap and face wash I use castille soap with added essential oils in a sudser. I refresh my air with smudging sage and eos. Distilled vinegar, 91% alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, borax, aluminum free baking soda, washing soda.. water, and on occasion due to fumes, good ole bleach for the toilets.. for cleaning. Ecos is my detergent.. i make my own lotions, lip balms and deodorants. 💯🥰it Raw, organic cold-pressed coconut OR olive oil are gorgeous to use in everything, as well.

[@Hadassah_S]

Bon Ami is great alternative to Ajax. Castile soap for body wash and for cleaning, hand soap. 😊

[@sami6086]

I use organic cold pressed coconut oil, as a mouth wash, a makeup remover, daily face/body moisturiser and as a intensive hair mask. And it doesn’t break the bank either, can’t go wrong

[@lorigruen3243]

Thank you!

[@bobcocampo]

Please create a video on your recommended diet for people preparing to take a licensure Board Exam. What is your recommended 6months diet?

[@LoveLight7]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO.

[@grandmageorgia9]

Where's the scoring list to look up our products? How can I find the list? Thank you for your podcast. I love your info.

[@attheranch873]

I’ve been using Mrs. Myers clean day multi surface every day cleaner. But it’s an 8! I’d read somewhere that it was a healthy product, so I’m surprised.

[@AA-cp8ry]

Meters is well known to be toxic. They falsely advertise otherwise.

[@sofiap3166]

Great video!

[@cathyboots947]

Thank you

[@kimygrigsby9793]

Schmidt's natural deodorant (from Walmart) I use the Bergamot and lime and it says 0...that's one down!

[@thomasparrish429]

Limes for deodorant, works great!

[@juliaperry6715]

I already have the Brain Warrior Cookbook. I learned that sunscreen is bad and to watch out for the stuff I spray. I like Alba for lotion and I think Jessica Alba makes it because she does have her company Honest which is clean. I have just stopped makeup except lipstick and nail polish but I’m going to be more careful from now on thank you. I’m married to a patient who was first scanned in May 2021. I have tried some of the supplements for myself. I am taking your Omega 3, Neurovite, Brain and Memory, zinc, D3 and I was trying GABA. I only take supplements once a day. Anyhow I began getting really emotional so I stopped the GABA. Is there a provider available for non scanned patrons? I would love some guidance but I can’t afford a scan currently.

[@elizabethbrock3865]

It would be cool if there was an app that tested the toxicity of fabric...bedding clothing. I just bought a matress cover and it smelled like it could get me high. Also it would be great if they could do it with food. There is no app that follows the food trail to see if its actually organic and non gmo. Sometimes I have a problem trusting the stamp.

[@ernawiget868]

HAS ANYBODY DONE RESEARCH ON BARN-RAISED CHICKENS AND EGGS , ? FEED IS: GMO’S AND OTHER CHEMS. THE SAME WITH OTHER ANIMALS, WE COULD BE EATING DOG OR OTHER ANIMALS AND BE TOLD: “THEY DON’T KNOW ! “ .

[@musiclovetara]

Oeko-Tex & Certipure certified products are toxin/free (or almost toxin-free) 🙏

[@jessicadewitt3073]

the kids i babysit for love the sun and love swimming, but they use sunscreen so they do not get sunburn. what is the best form of sunscreen that is healthy for the body and brain

[@danabowling1010]

I just heard that Think Dirty app has recently been brought out by Proctor & Gamble. I use this app alot and rely on it. Has anyone else heard this rumor? I want to make sure that it remains a trustworthy app.

[@lilianacabral9992]

Let me tell you why Portugal is 4th in antidepressive medication: because our medics are incompetents. To make a long story short, I was feeling terrible for some years, super tired, belly and body pain, allergies, etc. and went to several doctors apointments, made several exames and they all prescribed antidepressives because they couldn't find anything wrong with me. One of them even called me "spoild girl". I never went to a psiquiatrist, no one of those doctors advised me to see one. Conclusion: I had lactose intolerance. And that's why. P. S. I never took the medication because I never settle for the diagnose. I feel a lot better now :)

[@lauraarcher6996]

That's amazing!!

[@ranicefreire2611]

What is your take on goats milk cause deficiency of B9 ??

[@mirelalefter7323]

Can I use this app also for food package or for cosmetics only?

[@t.h.5712]

Pain killers? Any opinions? Long term use?

[@snowbike8032]

I'm looking for toxin free fleece type blankets for bedding. Something without PFAS chemicals at the very least. Any ideas? Even 100% cotton blankets have PFAS in them.

[@KC-ln6gq]

Are perfumes promoted by celebrities toxic? Is there a list for that? I also wish I could get your cookbook!

[@Jac-o-lina3924]

If you really like a certain perfume a little spray on the bottom of your slacks or jacket is a safer way. I've now completely transitioned into using organic oils instead of perfume.

[@happyhedgehog6450]

Is sodium fluoride in toothpaste OK? Also, Parfum is bad right? It got an 8 on the app but it doesn't say what's in it.

[@jacquelinereiners2466]

Weleda is a company in southern Germany. They have their own plant production , produce all kinds of Body Care . I am Not aware of a rating system in Europe gut as functional vet I'd give them a 0!!!! Is there Weleda in USA? I use their Body cream, shower gels, bath soaps, they have a rejuvenating Elixir made of birch juice, Massage oils, tooth paste but also eye drops and so much more....

[@reneewachter1925]

Thank you for your program. I am 62 years old and I've been drinking raw cow milk for years my children also drink raw cow milk. They are today, 40, 30, and 28 years old. Caw milk has a lot of benefits including 13 essential nutrients and minerals. Pasteurized milk among other negative side effects, kill all bacteria the good and the bad, adding to the chemicals from the cow diet. Good grass-fed raw milk that is safely handled is the key for milk lovers, especially for children who will get good bacteria for their gut and nutrients for their bodies.

[@antoniagonzalez6282]

Andra González What about coconut milk.?

[@MB-vr7sw]

Where can I get a Brain Warrior mug? Thx

[@backwardog1]

Dr. Amen, What is your position on mercury toxicity from amalgam filling? I am suffering many symptoms including constant loud ear ringing and fibromyaliga pain with fatigue.

[@punkynoodle9370]

Check out the videos from Dr Mark Hyman, functional medicine physician. He himself was exposed to mercury when he went to China and had a tough go with it but recovered. He heads the ultra-wellness clinic on the east coast. There is a very very strict protocol for removing amalgams. Not every dentist can do it. It a sub-specialty because if the environmental and toxicity issues involved. At the wellness center, they prepare your body for 6 months beforehand to upregulate the liver’s detox pathways and prepare your body for the exposure resulting from the removal. Good luck. It totally can be done safely.

[@Tropicalpisces]

No answer. :(

[@olgacorona9424]

I love oatmeal,however, recently I read that oatmeal is not healthy. What else beside eggs for breakfast?

[@zombiemanhasbe4119]

What about Pitstick deodorant ?

[@dylan_curious]

FIDONUTRUIENT BASED PRODUCTS?

[@abdweblinks]

What about perfumes?

[@kathykaybaconcarlson1476]

VOC(volatile organic chemicals) Synthetic chemicals additives gases etc. please Read Ingredients and ask Manufactures what is used and how they manufacture their products. If they aren’t transparent then move on. Expensive to change; well what is your life worth. Never too late to educate yourself on these issues. You owe it to yourself & family!

I think it was in the last letter you read, a woman was getting a glucose crash, and you recommended MORE CARBS! Duh! And I think the lady had actually asked about protein in her message.

[@gondwana6303]

Maybe get rid of the silicone implants?

[@turkeyrunfarms]

Gondwana hmmm

[@aas1018]

Lets not go crazy now.

[@catherineclinton911]

Chynna Phillips Baldwin, who has been scanned by Dr. Amen within the last year or so and has done a video with Dr. Amen, got rid of her implants decades ago because of terrible health symptoms. Her husband Billy, brother of Alec, said he never cared - they weren't what attracted him to her - and to this day, he is extremely attracted. They've been married 28 yrs.

[@adhdandmore5071]

Think Dirty was bought out by Proctor and Gamble.

[@Tropicalpisces]

I knew it was bad when I had to "log in" with big brother or big brother.

[@jmb-cm7mr]

Flax Oil is not toxic like Fish Oil is

[@renchanongullie3192]

The best beauty products is from forever living products, USA

[@sharonboult5914]

Think Dirty Inc. founder has said they have NOT been bought out by Proctor & Gamble NOR are they shareholders. This is a rumor and people should take the time to do their research before spreading malicious gossip.

[@ammamaw]

Sales pitch, first thing?😖

Viagra is ototoxic- never promote that stuff.maybe you should warn people about otoxic drugs- sildenifal, viagra - toxic stuff.

[@elizabethdavis2877]

[@johnbecich9540]

Egad. Who has time to listen to all this? Unbelievably verbose, even repetitive, coupled with no explanation of product brand names, mostly cosmetics. Sure, there's some merit to the underlying premises of "toxic products," but it's buried on fluff. Unsubscribe me.
