TOX-SICK: From Toxic to Not Sick

I am only about 1/3 of the way through this book, but I can tell you it is probably the best book on this subject I have ever read. Suzanne knows her stuff, and not only has she educated herself in an exceptional way, she has had everything from being affected from toxic mold to cancer, and she has overcome it. She has talked to top doctors from several places, both regular doctors and natural doctors. I think she, herself has become an expert on natural health. I also study this stuff, (not nearly as much as Suzanne), but because my son has health issues, I study everything that I even THINK might or could help him that is NATURAL. He has gone to "traditional" doctors, who I believe have only caused his health to deteriorate. My brother also has Diabetes, then got MRSA, and the "traditional" doctors continued to give him stronger and stronger antibiotics, and for very long periods of time. Eventually the antibiotics quit working for him, and he lost his leg due to his "un-curable" MRSA. When I was taking care of him I caught MRSA from him - I knew what I had because my friend, who used to be a nurse, described the symptoms to me. One night when my brother was in the hospital, I didn't know that his forehead was sweating, and I kissed him. I did know that he had MRSA, but I didn't think that just kissing him goodbye at the hospital would cause me to catch it, but the second I realized that his forehead was sweating, (because he was much sicker than realized), I just KNEW that I had just caught MRSA, and sure enough within about a day or a day and a half I began feeling very, very weird, (one of the symptoms my nurse friend had told me that her MRSA patients said they felt). This weird feeling is really hard to describe - sort of "flu-like" symptoms, but yet different. Well I, not having gone to a doctor of any kind in about 40 years, was not about to start then. So I got online and began researching natural cures for MRS. As God (I believe) would have it, the first company I found really caught my attention. I came across Inspired Nutrition, (I think that's the name of the company), who sells Monolauren. They could not claim that it healed MRSA, but they did say that many people had called them to tell them that once they had MRSA, they took this company's Monolauren, and now they didn't have it anymore. That sounded good to me, and I kept feeling worse. I began taking some strong Colloidal Silver 2 days before I was to go back home. I did not tell my brother or anybody what was going on with me. So I ordered the Monolauren, and had it shipped to my house so that it would be there when I got home. Sure enough - there it was. I got home really late - after midnight, and I was exhausted, so I just took more Colloidal Silver that night and went to bed. The next morning when I woke up, I began taking Monolauren twice a day for the first day to make sure it did not affect me adversely. After that I began taking it 3X a day. As God is my witness, 4 days later I felt like I was back to my normal self. I did not feel any MRSA symptoms at all, but ...... during my research, I noticed that some people who have MRSA also get a nasty rash on their backs. Oddly enough, my brother never got this rash, but I noticed 2 tiny little "pimple" like bumps on my back. Thankfully, I had also bought this spray intended for this use from the same company as where I got the Monolauren, and began using it on my back as soon as I noticed these two little "bumps." The pix I had seen online were just HORRIBLE looking - as if someone had been beaten mercilessly. I continued to spray my back every day, a couple of times a day, and these two little bumps never got any bigger, and I never got any more of them. So I continued to take the monolauren and spray my back until the rash was completely gone, which took about 3-4 months, but I FELT FINE - it was just that the bumps were still there. Just for "good measure," I also continued to take the Monolauren for about another 2 months. To this day, (and that was at least 3 years ago, I have never had even any symptoms of MRSA again. I know I am reviewing this book, but I felt like telling this story to give hope to people who choose to use natural medicine rather than the traditional kind - hope in NATURAL meds, and to let them know, from experience, that they DO work if you have patience, and you should get this book and TRULY LISTEN TO WHAT SUZANNE SAYS. She is telling you the truth, and this is probably the best book on the subject that you could read in my opinion.

I saw her interview about this book and knew I had to buy it. It was a great read (easy and educational). My functional medicine doctor had been saying most of these things to me for years and seeing it all together in one book was reassuring that I have been doing the right things. The book's (and my doctor's) suggestions aren't always easy -- or cheap -- but I feel have made a real different in my health and life. I liked this book so much that I bought a copy for my doctor and one for a family member. If I had the money, I would buy one for everyone I know. Tip: If you buy the book, don't try to do everything at once. It is a process. I have been seeing my doctor for years. Every year I make one or two more changes and incorporate them into my life. Some are easier than others. Slowly replace your cleaning and health & beauty supplies as they run out if you can't afford to replace everything at once. Target now has a great selection of natural cleaning products including Mrs. Myers, Method and Seventh Generation. You can make many cleaning products very cheaply. Print out a list of the "dirty dozen" fruits and vegetables and buy only those in organics if you can't afford to go totally organic. I just can't recommend this book enough!

There have been a few times in my life where a book has altered my life course. This is another of those. I tend toward not being as open-minded as I would like and I just can't imagine in the past that I would have picked up a book by Ms.Somers. I had a picture of her in my mind of her comedic character many years ago and that was it as far as I was concerned. I've been blessed with rather robust health. Suddenly in January, I started getting a lot of joint pain. I was reading everything I could find online, but it was so confusing. Professionals contradict one another. I didn't know what to do. I prayed for guidance. Oddly I heard SS interviewed on a celebrity gossip type show. But she showed up smart funny and educated on her topic - and health is not typically a topic of the show. Then I saw this book in a couple of unexpected places. Since I had asked for guidance, I thought why not try it. I downloaded the kindle version a few weeks ago. The information and the way it is presented is so digestible. Her interviews with leading doctors in treating the environmental poisons and toxins along with her clear explanations and narratives were so informative. I immediately began to put some of these tips into action. My join pain is gone. I don't know which of the changes I tried made the difference, but I feel must better. A side benefit is that weight is coming off too. Of course I am able to be more active since it doesn't hurt to move. I can't help but believe, after reading this book and now delving more into the research of the doctors she has interviewed, that I am also sending a love letter to that future me and granting myself a healthy older life. I thought I had been afraid of getting older. But I was just afraid of becoming decrepit. There are so many things we can do to combat the toxins that lead to being infirm and shaky at increasingly younger ages. Why live longer if we can't live well?

This book changed my life, I realize now how important is to take care of every little aspect of your life if you want to really live in good health.

Le livre de Suzan Somers (360 pages) nos fait prendre conscience de l'étendue des pollutions affectant notre environnement.Nous somme pollués et cette pollution interne empèche notre organisme de lutter efficacement contre des maladies. La guérison passe au préalable par une détoxification. Suzan Somers a interviewé de nombreux médecins qui se sont spécialisés dans ce domaine assez méconnu. Très instructif et utile pour ceux affectés par les maladies de civilisation. Ce livre était recommandé par le Docteur David Perlmutter, auteur de nombreux livres dont "ces glucides qui menacent votre cerveau."

It is time everyone should read this. The inventive title should not put anyone off as this is a compilation of interviews with prominent experts in the USA on the subject of the environmental toxins surrounding all of us. The topic of our modern obesity epidemic includes the message that it would be incorrect to blame the individual for their state as it is not simply a matter of overeating or greed. Another conclusion from the book is the mistake one would be making if we expect authorities to look after us.

Lots of amazing information covering a very important subject. Love the interviews with very impressive Doctors who are leaders in their fields. With great practical solutions for readers to take action and make positive changes in their health and wellbeing. As a Clean Eating Transformation Coach myself, the information in this book covers a lot of information I resonate with and passionately share with my own clients. I will be recommending every single person I work with to own and read this book. A truly fantastic read!

We miss you Suzanne💜. She left quite a legacy behind. So much information. I owe my lower carb lifestyle to her and Dr. Atkins.
