He also talks about organic foods and alternative/natural medicines and what you can do to mitigate the chemicals in your body.

The onus is the other way around – to be taken out of circulation, they need to be proven harmful after they've already been out there. There's so much information in this book and it really is very interesting. Definitely worth reading to learn more about what is happening and what can be done to try to minimize the effects.… (mehr)
