From the Inside Flap:

As health crises continue to escalate in this country, one of America's most renowned oncologists looks at the rising epidemics---breast cancer, asthma, learning disabilities, autism---to expose the environment's role in contributing to many of the diseases that are devastating people of all ages. Dr. Gaynor's book is the first of its kind: a book which uses scientific research to underline the mounting evidence that links environmental exposures---whether from tobacco smoke, air pollution, arsenic in drinking water or many pesticides on our lawns and in our food---to increasing incidences of disease and debilitation throughout America. Dr. Gaynor describes his successful nutritional program to maximize the body's immune and detoxification systems. In fact, post WWII industrialization in this country has spawned death and disease at unprecedented rates as unwanted consequences of pollution. "People are shocked to learn that your internal and your external environments are one," says Dr. Gaynor, "we are now living in a country where one in three Americans will hear the words, 'You have cancer.'" In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Gaynor shows you: *the benefits of phytonutrients, powerful foods that can easily be added to your diet. *Quick and easy ways to reduce the environmental risks in your home. *The dangers in your workplace and how to identify environmental factors placing you at risk. *How to protect your most valuable resource---your children. *How toxins are hidden in the places you least expect. Empowering and informative, this meticulously researched book is the prescription for nurturing your environment and your health. It is not intended to scare, but rather to awaken the reader to the dangers that are present in our environment and to provide solutions that help protect nature and preserve our health and our families' health in the process.
