Super Natural Home: Improve Your Health, Home, and Planet–One Room at a Time Paperback  – March 17, 2009by Beth GreerBeth Greer had been living what she considered a healthy lifestyle when a medical crisis prompted her to reevaluate everything―from the food she ate to the personal-care products she used and the environment she lived in. Now, in Super Natural Home, she shows the alarming extent of the dangerous chemicals we unwittingly expose ourselves to every day. As she did in her own life, she invites readers to put their lives under a microscope―to scrutinize what Americans put in and on their bodies and bring into their homes―and to make personal choices that will enable them to “live clean” in a toxic world.The straightforward, solutions-based approach of Super Natural Home―complete with quizzes to help identify and correct potential toxic hot zones―speaks directly to what environment-conscious consumers really need: ultra-practical advice on what they can do right now to limit exposure to the poisons that are endangering them and their children. At a time when impeccable scientific research points to an alarming correlation between common chemical compounds and cancers, allergies, psychiatric disorders, and birth defects, among other serious health concerns, Super Natural Home gives consumers the tools to start protecting themselves and their families.Editorial Reviews”Beth Greer has written an invaluable book, filled with practical solutions on how to eat healthier, breathe cleaner air, and transform your home into a safe haven, free from toxic chemicals.” –Deepak Chopra, author, Jesus: A Story of EnlightenmentSuper Natural Home seeks out the silent violence–i.e. toxins–in and around the place where you spend most of your time, awake and asleep…It’s required reading for anyone with a home and a healthy desire to see the unseen for the whole family.” –Ralph Nader, lawyer and consumer advocate”Beth Greer’s clear, comprehensive, and practical book is a godsend for anyone living in America who wants to make a real impact on reducing the pollutions and poisons that are ubiquitous in our surroundings.
