Synopsis:

Low-level exposures to pollution can have detrimental effects on the body, lowering immunity, mental performance and causing life-threatening cancer. This book provides simple, every day steps for improving health by showing how to identify and learn about hazardous products, and use less of them.

From the Author: A book that you can understand and use everday with a smile.
We wrote this book to finally make sense out of the complex and often convoluted subjects of toxins and environmental health. "Living Healthy in a Toxic World" is written so you can understand these issues and, more importantly, do things in your everyday life to improve the health and functioning of you and your family in a very real way. We chose a sense of humor, rather than the all too often "doom and gloom" we've heard on these subjects. An environmentalist, a politician, a single mom, a high school student can benefit from this information. One key concept covered is the fact that many of the toxic chemicals we are exposed to in small amounts from food, air, and water ACCUMULATE and STORE in the body. They build up over time. The science indicates as these levels rise and increase in the body, so do the very real risk factors. We give proven solutions to this. While the book was designed and written in an engaging style and priced so everyone can afford it, we meticulously researched all the scientific aspects covered and provide an extensive bibliography. These simple facts and things you can do are backed by sophisticated research and hard scientific facts. We hope you enjoy the book and use it to attain a better quality of life. To your health! R. Michael Wisner
