Description

Cancer affects 1 in 2 persons, and nearly everyone has an autoimmune-related disease or allergy. We live in a world where the incidence of illness grows as fast as the GDP. Industrialization has created a world that puts products before human and environmental health. Exercise and eating right is not enough. In this rapidly growing world, our resources are depleting along with our health and the public sees and feels this daily.

Health and Wellness speaker, advocate and Good Home Company Founder, Christine Dimmick, takes a deep dive into the toxins found in our very own homes, and how you can limit your exposure and take control of your own health. Detox Your Home addresses all of these issues – from clothing to food to the cleaning products used every day in homes just like yours. Dimmick unveils what manufacturers won’t, so you can avoid exposing yourself and your family to the hidden toxins eating away at America’s health and wellness. Detox Your Home is the essential go-to book for how to live a life of wellness, and will show you how to improve – in every part of your life.

Midwest Book Review
The author, founder of the Good Home Company, examines the many toxins at play in everyday life. . . The book makes good use of black-and-white tables and figures. The chapter on toxins in children’s toys, for example, has a two-page spreadsheet of the hazardous chemicals used in products designed for children. At the end of the book, readers will find a useful resources section that will direct them to further information and more healthy consumer products. . . recommended for the circulating collection of public libraries.
