Toxic Free: How to Protect Your Health and Home from the Chemicals ThatAre Making You Sick

Very informative. This is a book that I will be using for my next college class so I figured I'd get a jump start and see what it covered. It's fascinating how much toxins we are exposed to, and how/why detoxing is so important.

We live in a world of physical and emotional pollution. Everything is driven by profit motives, and very little concern for the health of individuals or the environment is exercised by those selling products. We ignorantly believe the happy advertising blitz we absorb every day, while slowly exposing our cells to poisons that are producing rampant cancers, behavior disorders and low energy. Although most people prefer to live in the "ignorance is bliss" mentality, this book is for those who are proactive in their lives, and who are not over-stressed by the pain of thinking. Don't miss reading this book, especially if you have developing children in your home. It will drastically cleanse your immediate environment of packaged poisons we purchase every day to make our lives "better." Let the buyer beware!

Toxic Free is a must have book for every person that can read. The book has ideas of how to eliminate toxic chemicals in our homes. From the products we use on our bodies, ingest and use to prepare foods. The book discusses the toxic chemicals in air freshners, candles, perfumes etc. Debra gives many websites to further your quest for a toxic free life. I was surprised to see all the toxic chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis. I never thought about the mattress i sleep on or the furniture i sit on being toxic. If you or your family suffer from any health issues this book is for you. Also as a consumer to be more aware of the products you purchase before you invest in them and bring them into your home. Debra also has a terrific website to find lots of information.

After hearing the author interviewed on public radio, I decided to buy this book. It is extremely informative and easy to read. It covers toxic substances contained in our everyday products and what they do to our health. What I liked was the information on solutions--how to avoid the toxic substances we encounter every day. The author's website is also a great resource as it lists manufacturers of products free of toxic substances. I have started patronizing these companies and avoiding ones that include toxins in their products.This book is a must for anyone concerned about toxic substances we encounter every day.

The author promotes the use of zeolite mineral in this book. Otherwise, I would have given this book 4 stars for the good information.The author, Debra Dadd, of Toxic Free fails to inform the reader that dry zeolite in powder form can cause Mesothelioma if the dust is inhaled, similar to asbestos. Dadd recommends that the reader purchase zeolite online, presumably in powder form, as an alternative to commercially available air freshener. She provides zero warnings to the reader for zeolite in the powder form. The author also promotes liquid zeolite as if it is a proven detox. Liquid zeolite has unproven health benefits and has even shown damaging health impacts to mice in some studies.In my opinion, these claims by the author are irresponsible. In the case of dry zeolite, she might as well have told the reader to use asbestos as an air freshener and not mentioned the potentially lethal health impacts. A disclaimer needs to be added in the book regarding the use of zeolite.[...][...]

Our daughter had been telling for many years to stop poisoning our bodies and our life with toxic products; but, not able to find many alternatives (I thought), we did as much as we could. This book brought home the issues with the products we use and what we can do to stop using those products. We now use vinegar a lot and make our own soap. We are also using as much organic food as we can find in a small town and supporting local organic farmers.

i wish the detox section had more detail and ways to detox but the rest of the info is good.

I learned not only what and why, but how.

great

Good reference book to keep at home and share with family. Thanks!
