Everyday we are exposed to numerous chemicals, many without even knowing, that wreak havoc upon our health. These chemicals saturate our environment from the air we breathe to the water we drink. They’re in the homes we live in and the products we use, and all of us are at risk. Dr. Doris Rapp, board certified in environmental medicine, pediatrics and allergy, has written a highly important new book, Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call, that thoroughly addresses this topic--it is truly "a wake up call" that we all need.

The book provides readers with over 500 pages of crucial information that will teach you how to keep yourself and your loved ones out of harm’s way and help you to truly live healthy in our toxic world. You will learn not only how chemicals play a major role in causing many of today's health challenges including the widespread epidemics of ADHD, cancer, fatigue, headaches, obesity, early puberty, sterility, brain defects, and muscle and visual problems that are facing the nation, but also how to determine if chemicals are making you sick and what to do about it.

The many practical suggestions in the book include:

• How to stop chemicals from accumulating in your body
• What you can do to avoid indoor pollution
• How to detect problem foods in your diet
• How to avoid contaminated or polluted water
• What to do about a chemical sensitivity
• How to find a chemically safe home
• Suggestions for eliminating stored chemicals from your body

Further, "Our Toxic World" presents scientific proof in the form of research studies and numerous references that show how chemicals are creating frightening changes in wildlife and similar symptoms are becoming more and more apparent in humans. It explains that while particular groups of people, such as young children, pregnant women and the elderly, are more apt to suffer from adverse effects, chemicals can, and do, affect anyone, at any age.

I would urge anyone who is suffering from an unexplained illness, considering starting a family or experiencing fertility problems to read this intriguing book. In fact, I would encourage everyone, especially those interested in living a quality life at a higher level of health, to read Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call. Our environment has become so toxic that, unfortunately, you cannot afford not to.
