At no other time in human existence has there been so many
environmental changes. Over 87,000 chemicals are now commercially
available in the U.S., almost all of which have not been tested for
safety, particularly in young children and the growing fetus.The
number and quantity of chemicals has continued to increase since
World War II-and so too has the incidence of many chronic health
problems, such as Type 2 Diabetes, obesity, thyroid disease,
asthma, allergy, autoimmune disease, autism, ADHD, and several
cancers. Many studies have revealed that exposure to chemicals and
radiation in our everyday environment may increase risk for these
conditions. Integrative Environmental Medicine examines the history
and changing landscape of our environment in the U.S. and shares
up-to-date research and information on ways to reduce exposures and
reduce health risks. This text explores the unique properties of
many chemicals and their ability to deceive the human body's normal
workings, affecting everything from thyroid and autoimmune disease
risk, to cancer development, to developmental issues in children,
and even the development of diabetes and weight gain through gut
bacteria manipulation. We discuss topics of improving regulations
and appropriate testing for chemicals, remediation of environmental
catastrophes, and designing healthier products for the future.
Finally, we discuss best practices for clinicians to ascertain
exposure history and teach patients how to avoid harmful exposures
and help their body eliminate contaminates through better dietary
and lifestyle practices. Throughout this book, we share vetted,
practical resources and tools-including websites, phone apps,
physician and patient hand-outs-to help healthcare practitioners
facilitate healthier choices for themselves and their patients.
This text is unique in that it offers tangible, practical
information that can easily be integrated into the daily work flow
of patient clinical care; websites, phone apps, physician and
patient handouts and printable lists.
