In this month’s supplement cabinet, in the spirit of being “Green” for the health of our planet, we are recommending something wholesome for your home – LDC cleanser by GNLD.

All of the surfactants in LDC are biodegradable, which means that they are broken down by natural biological action. This capability helps to eliminate suds and foaming problems in our lakes and streams. It does not harm septic tanks, sewage disposal systems or water treatment plants.

Read on for a wonderful story of how LDC saved the lives of African penguins…

In June 2000, during the endangered penguins’ mating season, an iron ore carrier called the MV Treasure sank 8km off the South African Coast, releasing 13,000 tons of fuel into the water. The Treasure leak caused a coastal bird crisis, smothering over 19,000 African penguins with thick, black oil.

Oil is not only toxic when ingested, but it affects penguins’ natural waterproofing, reducing their buoyancy in the cold Atlantic waters and putting them at risk for hypothermia, starvation and death. To help with the enormous task of cleaning the penguins, GNLD rushed 7500 liters of its all-natural cleanser, LDC, to SANCCOB (South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds). LDC’s eco-friendly, pH-neutral formula had the oil-dispersing power needed to clean the birds, while remaining gentle enough not to harm them, or the humans washing the penguins. The initial bulk donations were just the first step in recovery for the penguins. The scale of the damage was massive, and 15,000 birds were still covered in oil. Thousands more liters of LDC were required to give the penguins the chance of survival. GNLD distributors from around the world contributed US$20,000 worth of LDC to the recovery operation. The GNLD community provided what the thousands of SANCCOB volunteers needed to clean the penguins and the survival rates for the oiled penguins saved during the Treasure disaster reached an astounding 91%.

For the health of your family and for our planet, I ask you to consider switching to the completely biodegradable LDC cleanser for your home cleaning needs. Please log onto http://thecenterforoptimalhealth.gnld.net to order your LDC today.
