Clean
A medical doctor tells how toxic chemicals and industrialized foods are harming our health and well-being, then gives a solution
The key to health: avoid toxic chemicals (not much guidance on this beyond recommending Debra's List), eat real foods, and help your body detox by healing your gut. And this last piece is really what the book is about: a well-thought-out 1-3 week cleansing program that will remove toxic build-up from your body. Though the liver prepares toxic chemicals for removal from the body, to actually be eliminated from the body, toxic chemical molecules need to travel through the gut. If material in your gut isn't moving well, toxic chemical removal is slowed. This book has a lot of good information on how to clean your digestive tract and rehabilitate proper function. I learned a few things myself, for example, you need to fast overnight for twelve hours in order for your body's detox function to kick in and function. That's twelve hours between the end of dinner and the beginning of breakfast. This book is a bit repetitive but gives sound advice. By the time I got to the end of reading this book I wanted to start the program immediately. It's easy to understand and do-able.
Detoxify or Die
How toxic chemicals affect your health and how to remove them from your body
This title is alarming, but true to the book's content. Dr. Rogers clearly makes her point--toxic chemical exposures we encounter in everyday life can kill or disable our bodies. She cites hundreds of studies about the toxic effects of chemicals we commonly come in contact with, and then tells in great detail the difficulty our bodies have in processing these un-natural substances and what we can do to help our bodies detox. It's pretty technical, but easy to read.
Plastic
Confused about plastics? This basic primer about plastic explains all: what it is, how it's made, how it's used, and how it effects our health and the environment. Today it's virtually impossible to go through a day without any type of plastic, yet, by understanding plastics, we can choose those that are least toxic, and eliminate those plastics for which there are alternatives. This easy-to-read book decribes our history with plastic through common household items, visits to factories, and real-life dilemmas regarding using plastics, showing in vivid detail plastic from manufacture to recycling (or infiniate afterlife in a landfill).
