Getting Healthy in Toxic Times: An Ecological Doctor's Prescription for Healing Your Body and the Planet -- Jenny Goodman, Paperback

How can we protect ourselves from the pollution, chemicals, and toxins that pervade our environment? Dr. Jenny Goodman connects the health of our planet with our own well-being, addressing the questions that very few doctors ask.

We're all too aware of the traffic pollution in the air, the chemicals in our water, the toxins in the soil (and therefore our food), and the electromagnetic energy emanating from our gadgets.

If we can also understand how they affect our health, not least in the worrying rises in asthma and allergies, infertility, obesity, heart disease, behavioral and neurological disorders, as well as cancer, then we can take positive steps to avoid them.

With the right information, we can:

• Safeguard ourselves with protective measures
• Minimize our interactions with pollutants
• Ensure our bodies have the right anti-toxin nutrients
• Take collective action to fight for our health and that of the environment

Backed by the latest scientific and medical research, Getting Healthy in Toxic Times will empower you to look after your own health--and that of the planet. Let's put the good stuff in and take the bad stuff out!

She has been practising Ecological Medicine for twenty-two years now and is the author of Staying Alive in Toxic Times.
