About

Two years ago my diabetes was out of control, had alarming blood pressure and was seriously overweight but the thing that got my attention was my sweet mother’s mental decline. I watched the person who I loved all my life, waste away into a state of confusion, fear and despair.

 

She lived with Steve and I for six years but had gotten to the point that she needed 24 hour care and could no longer stay with us. She moved into a nursing home in the town we live in. I visited her everyday and got a wake-up call to what happens when your health is gone and you can’t take care of yourself anymore. I decided that if I could get healthy and stay healthy, I was going to do it.

 

I made significant lifestyle changes. What has made a real difference has been what I’ve learned along the way. I began reading articles and listening to podcasts about the human body and how it works. I’ve learned about nutrition and how important exercise is to lasting health.

 

What has surprised me though, is what makes us sick. The research is out there and available to anyone looking. Evidence is showing that chemicals in our water and food are poisoning us. There are hundreds if not thousands of studies that support this viewpoint.

 

I’ve put together this booklet to give hope. There are simple changes we can make in our lives to reduce or eliminate toxins in our homes and even in our world.
