Book Review: A thorough and thoroughly depressing wake up call
Summary: 5 Stars
Toxins are everywhere. They're in the water we drink, the air we breath, the food we eat and its packaging, the clothes we wear, our cleaning, hygiene and cosmetic products, sofas, carpets, draperies, wallpaper, garden products, electronics, cars, home construction and pest prevention, you name it. We're swimming in a sea of toxins.
The way to get well is to reduce or eliminate the toxins in our environment and help our bodies reduce their toxic burden. From food sensitivities to occupational exposure, this book will teach you how to pinpoint where the problems originate and make changes to eliminate these poisons and regain your health.
Our Toxic World is geared toward those with chemical sensitivities, but anyone who wants to look forward to a long and productive life can benefit from reading it. Doris provides extensive scientific studies showing the prevalence of toxins and their affects on animals and humans.
"[Woman] now have more birth-damaged or developmentally or learning-disabled babies, miscarriages, stillborns, infertility and endometriosis than ever before. If a pregnant woman uses flea soap, or a pest collar on her dog, her unborn child has a 4 to 6-fold increased chance of developing a brain tumor, leukemia or a lymphoma by the age of six years" -- Doris Rapp, M.D.
In this book you'll learn:
* How chemicals can harm you
* How to tell if chemicals are causing your illness
* Steps to take to reduce exposure
* Effects of toxins on development and learning in children

* How to test the level of chemicals in your body and home

Additionally, the appendices provide information on elimination diets for determining food sensitivities, recommended books, health professionals to contact, resources for home evaluations, diagnosis and treatment tests, homeopathic remedies, alternative diagnostics tests, and professional and public information sources. Highly recommended.
