You are carrying industrial chemicals your great-grandparents never knew. So is everyone you love. The question is no longer whether — it's what to do about it.
Pesticides. Plastics. Heavy metals. "Forever chemicals." Over a single century, we filled our world — and then our own bodies — with tens of thousands of synthetic compounds that had never existed before. Today, national health surveys detect dozens of them in nearly every person tested, from newborns to the elderly. This is not a fringe worry. It is one of the best-documented facts in modern medicine — and almost nobody understands what it means for their health.
The Invisible Tide is the clear, authoritative, and genuinely hopeful book the subject has been waiting for. Written by a physician-scientist and a professor of biochemistry, it cuts through both the denial and the hype to explain — in plain language anyone can follow — how these chemicals enter us, what they do to our hormones, brains, metabolism and DNA, and, most importantly, how the body's own remarkable detoxification machinery clears them and how you can support it.
Inside, you'll discover:
- Why every modern human carries a chemical "body burden" — and what the science really says about the risk
- How xenobiotics disrupt hormones, drive cancer and neurodegeneration, alter your genes, and accelerate ageing — explained through simple diagrams and real biochemistry
- The world's most sobering case studies — Minamata, Bangladesh's arsenic crisis, Kerala's endosulfan tragedy — and what they taught us
- The elegant three-phase detoxification system inside your liver and gut, and the specific foods and nutrients that fuel it
- An honest, evidence-graded verdict on detox trends — from cruciferous vegetables and NAC to chelation, IV therapies and "cleanses" — separating what works from what's just marketing
- Practical, do-it-today protocols to reduce your exposure and support your body's clearance for life
Rigorously referenced yet warmly readable, richly illustrated with original full-colour diagrams, and grounded in the peer-reviewed evidence at every step, The Invisible Tide is for the curious reader, the health enthusiast, and the clinician alike.
We cannot escape the chemical age. But we can understand it — and that understanding is the truest form of health there is.
Understand what you carry. Support what clears it. Act on the evidence.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
