Finally, a wonderful, comprehensive resource to help the average person, who wants to make the change to a healthier lifestyle! I've always felt overwhelmed, with so much conflicting information as to what's safe and what's not. I found out about this book, from the Weston A. Price website - another awesome resource for finding out the truth. The absolute best part of this book, for me (because, honestly, a lot of the "chemical" details are over my head) - are the lists, at the back, of specific products (in each category - hair, face, deoderants etc) that have been tested as absolutely safe. This was so helpful, for me... to have all the research and legwork done, and to be able to simply look up each category, and find out where to buy it. It allowed me to slowly and methodically eliminate my family's personal care products that were harmful and, confidently, replace them with safe ones. The website offers ongoing updates on newly added "Safe" products. This is an excellent gift.
