Non-Toxic is an insightful, even-handed, evidence-based discussion
about the environment in which we now find ourselves living, the
environmental hazards around us, and ways in which we may better
protect ourselves and our families from increased risk of illness
and disease due to harmful chemical and radiation exposure.
Espousing the principles developed by famed physician and author,
Dr. Andrew Weil, and making them accessible for the general reader,
the book takes account of the whole person, including all aspects
of lifestyle, in offering guidance to living healthy in a chemical
world. After a brief historical perspective and
easily-understandable discussion of the anatomy, physiology, and
defense mechanisms of the human body, the authors review common
everyday chemicals and describe how our bodies protect us with many
amazing defenses, both physical barriers and though metabolism.
This book discusses issues surrounding clean water and air, and
helps equip the reader to better understand daily risk exposures
and encourages the reader to start making practical, positive
changes immediately. Written by a physician board-certified in
Integrative Medicine and a PhD toxicologist, the book is replete
with relevant, cost-effective, and practical ways to reduce
exposure and lower risk for the developing illness. Tips and
recommendations are given for choosing and preparing foods, methods
of cooking and cleaning, and how to choose safer household
furnishings, toys, and personal care products. Throughout, the
authors' goal is to help readers decode technical concepts such as
understanding product labels, and wading through the confusing (and
often misleading) waters of marketing terminology. Each chapter
concludes with a list of references, documenting the clinical
studies and other scientific evidence for the recommendations in
the book. ABOUT THE SERIES: From series editor, Andrew Weil, one of
the most iconic and trusted names in healthcare today, the Dr.
Weil's Healthy Living Guides series discusses caring for common
medical conditions and optimizing health from an integrative
medical approach. Integrative medicine is defined as an
evidence-based healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the
whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of
lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use
of all appropriate therapies, conventional, alternative, and
complementary.
