Have you ever considered that the food you eat, the products you put on your body, or the deodorizers, cleaning supplies or laundry soap you use in your homes could have an impact on your health or mood?  I know I never did.  I figured, that if they were selling it in the stores, and advertising it, it was perfectly safe.  I know better now.

As a mental health counselor, I hear numerous stories everyday from people struggling with emotional problems, chronic illness and/or chronic pain. They  report spending money and time they don’t have, going from one appointment to another while experiencing little to no improvement. In some cases, the medications that have been prescribed to them have made matters worse creating negative side effects, exacerbated symptoms or addictions.  People tell me they feel hopeless, angry, and helpless.  They often feel blamed that somehow, it’s their fault that they are sick, that it’s all in their head.  This, of course, leaves them feeling that the system has failed them.

I wrote Why are People Turning Green to share the stories of people who suffered from various health, emotional or behavior problems.  They share how their health significantly improved after they decided to make healthier choices in the products and food they used or consumed.  These folks  took control of their health and improved their lives by avoiding  exposure to culturally prominent chemicals and toxins that are found in most of the common every day products and foods. The research found that: When the exposure to the offending substance was stopped, symptoms were either eliminated or significantly reduced.  There was also an improvement in behavior, such as a decrease in aggression, impulsive behavior, anger, or lack of interpersonal awareness.

There is a common misconception that products sold to us are safe, and that there is a pill for everything that ails us. It is my hope that after reading this book, you will begin to consider, perhaps it is not the pill that we add, but the toxin that we eliminate, that will result in a better sense of health and wellbeing !

Why Are People Turning Green is available at Amazon and other online booksellers.
