Book Reviews of The Healthy Living Space: 70 Practical Ways to Detoxify the Body and Home
Book Review: Good book, but read critically!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is, for the most part, a pretty good book that jam packs a myriad of ways that everyone can follow to detoxify and enjoy greater health. However, it seems that, as most health journalists seem to follow this fundamental flaw, they do not give a pure scientific review to every piece of material, and thus, by taking the word of some authority figure, they take the word as truth.
An example of this would be where he suggests a sodium hypochlorite (bleach) produce wash. Firstly, no studies have ever shown that any such wash, whether it being diluted bleach or the like, have been significantly better at removing residues than pure water. Secondly, sodium hypochlorite is a corosive poison that acts as an irritant, can cause respiratory problems, neurotoxicity, cancer, endocrine disruption, and other various issues. What's even more odd is that he got this piece of advice from a Naturopathic doctor's book; how on Earth could a Naturopath recommend this?
So with that, while generally has quite a bit of good information, make sure to read the book critically, and question EVERYTHING! Be your own scientist and do your own research!
