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.

Author

Christine Dimmick

Detox Your Home is thoroughly 'user friendly' in tone, commentary, organization and presentation, making it an ideal and invaluable addition to community library Health/Medicine collections.

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.

American Reference Books Annual
Detox Your Home, by Christine Dimmick, founder and CEO of The Good Home Company, tells us how to keep ourselves and our families as free as possible from toxic chemicals. When we purchase laundry detergents and household cleaners, cosmetics, personal care products, food, clothing, toys, and more, we can use this vital information to lead healthier and safer lives.

Margaret Cuomo, MD, Board-certified Radiologist; author of A World Without Cancer; National Advocate for the Prevention of Cancer, Heart Disease and Diabetes
Detox Your Home is impressively comprehensive, meticulously researched and refreshingly practical. For every product, from shampoo to electronics, Dimmick evaluates health and environmental impacts and gives us ways to detox. This landmark reference book makes once hard to find information accessible to all.
