Book Review - Five Stars
Natural Health, Natural Medicine: The Complete Guide to Wellness and Self-Care for Optimum Health by Andrew Weil, MD: A compendium of healthful guidelines that treat your body and mind to natural solutions for a better life.
I loved the book’s direct to the point delivery, and useful and meaningful solutions.
The book is a great reference text.
EXCERPTS:
How much metal dissolves out of pipes and connecters depends on how corrosive the water is that flows through them, how hot it is, and how long it stays in contact with the plumbing. The corrosivity of water depends on its chemistry—how acid or alkaline it is and how many dissolved minerals are in it. The fewer minerals are in the water, the more it can take up, hence the more corrosive it is. Ironically, some kinds of purified water are more corrosive to metal piping than impure water just because they can hold more dissolved metals. This is an argument against attaching a purifier at the point where water enters the house; it’s better to put it at the end of the piping, near the tap.
In the twenty-first century our livers are sorely taxed. Not only do they have to deal with all the naturally occurring toxins, but they now have to face a staggering array of man-made compounds: medical and recreational drugs, food additives, pollutants and contaminants of air and water, and the dangerous chemicals people are exposed to on the job and in the home. The sum of all this chemical stress may, over the years, contribute to decreasing immune system defenses against cancer.
Minimize exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and other poisons. This is a highly dangerous group of chemicals.
