We all try our very best to keep our homes safe, child-proof and clear from dangers, right? Nope, wrong! After reading The Healthy Home, I was in awe on how many simple, every day products was actually harming my family rather than keeping them safe.
The Healthy Home, written by Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz, exposes hidden dangers found in every day items, rooms and fabrics that may actually harm us. This book discusses everything from toxins found in your toothpaste to a new car and even toxins found in your electronics. This book makes you look at your home and the items you use in a totally different way. The Healthy Home at best is a work of “Truth”, giving you the nitty-gritty on things we don’t even think twice about. For instance, did you know you can kill your pet bird by using Teflon nonstick cookware? I sure didn’t!
The book itself is broken up into chapters related to a room or part of a home. Some chapters are dedicated to one’s own well-being and nutrition. There are tips to the reader offering solutions as well as questionnaires in each chapter to test how safe your house is or good is your health.
The Healthy Home is a preparedness manual for a safe, hazard free environment. I recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing the truth about the products they use. A must have for parents and pet owners. You will be surprised at what you will learn.
