Dr. James Martin takes a really good look at the world Americans are proud to call home.He pinpoints majority of toxins and describes in a very clinical way - their harmful effects on the body.And just imagine - have you ever had gone to an OBGYN to happily check a healthy pregnancy and figure out the gender - only to have a herd of doctors come in and tell you something is wrong with the baby?If you haven't - we have.My husband and I were blessed - to have our firstborn recover from surgery as fast as he did and go home without ANY follow up care. But the question as to what caused his gastroschisis still haunts me to this day.I must consider toxins as number one reason. Mainly because my husband and I were both incredibly fit - but he - suffers from chronic pain that has to be treated, and I suffered for years from migraines, which I treated with drugs I can't even remember.Facts mentioned in this book make sense. However as I read through the pages it boggles my mind. How can one possibly stay away from all this harmful stuff?Think about a baby - and how they first learn to crawl on the floor, and then they get to chewing EVERYTHING. How everything you put on them - starting with a diaper - ending with that cute pair of bright colored shoes.That includes things you would consider safe. Even some furniture - can you stop it? of course - get rid of the furniture, clothes and diapers. (I'm joking of course)Ah, while it does seem discouraging - the good doctor provides some ideas on how to prevent massive channel of toxins. Water filters, well washed food, organic grass fed meats (that's my 2 cents) - but you get the idea.Hopefully people that read this book will take some of the ideas seriously. Cancer is spreading, gastroschisis is on the rise and a ton of other dis-eases as well.
