Very Eye Opening

I purchased this book after seeing the author on Fox and Friends. It definitely opened my eyes to the types of chemicals and toxins that are in our environment that ultimately end up in our bodies. As a nursing mother of a 5 month old I was pleased to learn steps I can take to keep our home and myself less toxic with the ultimate goal of keeping my baby healthy for years to come. The book does seem to be repetitive at times and can be a bit daunting only due to the large chemical words constantly used- but how can you get around that. I was hoping there would be more info on how to detoxify our bodies besides eating vegetables and fruits washed down with some green tea. It does have a great reference section. With this book and a website - the green guide- I learned about in the book, I have already started making changes around our house. Just today I was looking at the ingredients in my son's sunscreen and found that it has chemicals that has shown to affect the development of the brain and reproductive organs in laboratory rats! Needless to say I found a much safer sunscreen. I also found that my shampoo and conditioner has one of the "7 Ugly Ingredients to Avoid in Personal Care Products" Overall it is very educational, eye opening, and if you are looking to improve your health I highly recommend this book.

Hope is Here At Last

Dr. Gaynor's newest book takes up where Dr. Gaynor's Cancer Prevention Program left off. I was amazed at the science showing not only how toxins are found in places I'd never have guessed(eg.some lipsticks have lead) but that safe alternatives exist for all of them.The roster of famous MDs who endorsed the book reads like a Whose Who--Dr Mehmet Oz(You- The Owner's Manuel), Dr Michael Osborne(President of Strang Cancer Prevention Center),Dr Mimi Guarnieri(Scripps Institute),Dr William Rhea( environmental medicine specialist).That's good enough for me.

Diet is key

Written by an MD Nurture Nature Nurture Health is what I hoped: A book that outlines the toxins contributing to all sorts of health problems and practical tips on how to minimize them, how to detoxify, and how to boost the immune system.The section on what you can do and the resources are amazing.I will use this book forever!

It's never too late

This book is a true blessing for the planet and those of us who live on it. A guide on the link between our lifestyle and diseases of the earth and ourselves.1 in 3 Americans will develop cancer, 17% of US children have either a learning, emotional, or developmental disorder, and 1 in 7 womwen develop breast cancer today when in 1969 it was 1 in 22. If you want to know the TRUTH and what you can do--read this book!
