2. Why NOT use
Toxic Pesticides?
Most pesticides are guaranteed to work, so
why not use them?
The answer is simple … agents toxic to
cellular tissue can have devastating effects on
the respiratory system, nervous system, and
the immune system:
1. Once inside the brain, toxins can alter the
ability to concentrate & can lead to
nervous system disorders and permanent
learning disabilities
2. Toxins overload the immune system &
lead to less resistance to colds, flu-like
systems, etc.
3. Toxins cause sensitivity of the respiratory
system, and lead to proliferation of
allergies and asthma
4. Toxins have been linked to liver & kidney
damage and many forms of cancer. Recent
studies by the National Institute of Health
& Safety and the National Cancer Institute,
show that leukemia risk increases greatly
for children and adults where toxic
pesticides are used in the home and
garden. A cancer journal reported
children under ten, exposed to toxic
pesticides in the home or garden at least
once a month, have a 7x higher incidence
of leukemia.
5. Some toxic pesticides can produce
demyelination in nerve bundles and the
spinal cord - this can lead to M.S. and
paralysis
What areYour Choices?
Are people actually willing to take this risk
and contribute to this suffering in order to kill
ants, fleas, spiders, moths, and other insects?
Certainly, this is sufficient confirmation to
persuade every reader of this brochure to
never again purchase toxic pesticides.
So what are your options? The answer is
obvious …

Basic H² is an all organic, biodegradable wetting
agent … actually making water 300 times wetter.
It is concentrated and economical. It was
developed in cooperation with nature, as are all
Shaklee products. When mixed with water, Basic
H² delivers an immediate wetting (surfactant)
action, penetrating dirt and emulsifying grease and
oil. For this reason, it has been used for almost 50
years as a general purpose cleaner.
Basic-Germicide, as its name indicates, is a
versatile, non-polluting germicide, which is
totally biodegradable and will not hurt the
environment.
How Does itWork?
Since 90% of insects have an oil coating,
Shaklee Basic H², as a wetting agent,
penetrates the outer shell and actually
suffocates the insects. Insects eggs are
softened by the spray, which prevents
hatching.
NOTE: Officially, Shaklee Corporation markets
Basic H² as a Household Cleaner and Basic-
Germicide as a Highly Concentrated Germicide.
These pest control recommendations are not
published by Shaklee Corporation, but have been
gathered from environmental field experts.
