Don’t shrug this off to alarmism. Our bodies, our livers in particular, are overwhelmed by the chemical onslaught one experiences in modern society.
It may seem overwhelming at times to learn what to avoid, what to eat, etc. It took me 5 years of intensive research to get the answers that I wanted. With the resources on this site, it should not take you nearly that long to figure it out, and get on the path to real health. Your most important resource and possession.

- Consider using homemade personal care products, contacting your senator to express concern over chemicals in your tap water and consulting EWG’s database about the store-bought products you use
