With the right information, we can: Safeguard ourselves with protective measures Minimize our interactions with pollutants Ensure our bodies have the right anti-toxin nutrients Take collective action to fight for our health and that of the environment Backed by the latest scientific and medical research, Getting Healthy in Toxic Times will empower you to look after your own health—and that of the planet.
