Abundant Health in a Toxic World The American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, and others all claim that their diseases are mainly caused by diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and toxic exposures. Sadly, they would rather send you for drugs and surgery than address these causes. If you are someone who would rather eliminate the causes and watch the symptoms go away by themselves, this book is for you. David specializes in reducing or eliminating causes to help his patients and students improve their health. Drugs are generally suppressors of symptoms while the condition gets worse.

Dr. Cynthia Fincher provides readers with a framework to understand chemicals and their effects, as well as the regulatory and political forces that allow their dangers to perpetuate. She then explains how people can reduce their use of chemicals--thus reducing the risk of damaging effects.200 pp.

What's Gotten into Us? is a deep, remarkable, and empowering investigation into the threats--biological and environmental--that chemicals now present in our daily lives. Do you know what chemicals are in your shampoo? How about your cosmetics? Do you know what's in the plastic water bottles you drink from, or the weed killer in your garage, or your children's pajamas? If you're like most of us, the answer is probably no. But you also probably figured that most of these products were safe, and that someone--the manufacturers, the government--was looking out for you. The truth might surprise you. After experiencing a health scare of his own, journalist McKay Jenkins set out to discover the truth about toxic chemicals, our alarming levels of exposure, and our government's utter failure to regulate them effectively. What's Gotten into Us? reveals how dangerous, and how common, toxins are in the most ordinary things, and in the most familiar of places: * Our water: Thanks to suburban sprawl and agricultural runoff, 97 percent of our nation's rivers and streams are now contaminated with everything from herbicides to pharmaceutical drugs. * Our bodies: High levels of hormone-disrupting chemicals from cosmetics, flame-retardants from clothing and furniture, even long-banned substances like DDT and lead, are consistently showing up in human blood samples. * Our homes: Many toxins lurk beneath our sinks and in our basements, of course, but did you know that they're also found in wall-to-wall carpeting, plywood, and fabric softeners? * Our yards: Pesticides, fungicides, even common fertilizers--there are enormous, unseen costs to our national obsession with green, weed-free lawns. What's Gotten Into Us? is much more than a wake-up call. It offers numerous practical ways for us to regain some control over our lives, to make our own personal worlds a little less toxic. Inside, you'll find ideas to help you make informed decisions about the products you buy, and to disentangle yourself from unhealthy products you don't need--so that you and your family can start living healthier lives now, and in the years to come. Because, as this book shows, what you don't know can hurt you.

Thriving in a Toxic World will give the reader powerful insights into understanding how to achieve lasting health and vitality. In this book, you will learn the strategies that allow you to understand the difference between fantasy and reality when it comes to true health, and why most diet plans are doomed to fail.

This book takes the complex nutritional minefield and chunks it down into very easy to do pieces that allow the reader to implement one of the fastest ways to regain and maintain their health. Incredible health and vitality is our birthright, and the entire allopathic healthcare system is designed to make huge profits for the people who administer it. This is usually done to the detriment of the patient who usually ends up getting the costliest treatment and not the most healing one. We live in a world where very powerful corporate interests get to determine government policy and sadly our best interests are rarely if ever considered. The US political system also encourages and actively promotes the bribery of its government officials. The people that are supposed to regulate these corporations and who are entrusted to ensure our safety and best interests have been captured. This corruption has been given a nice name called Lobbying [State Supported Bribery]. The bribery industry spends $9bn annually in its desire to rig the system, so that it can change, remove, amend, alter or write any law that suits their outcome or agenda.
