I found the format to be very informative and even somewhat compelling. As a Viet Nam veteran, I was impressed by Bruce's resourcefullness in compiling such a vast amount of diversified data, and in the ultimate conclusions. The data alone is very thought provoking. The book really makes you pause, look around and pay attention to the environment we live in.

Mandatory Reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I have read this book twice and passed it on to several friends, we all agree that first of all it is frightening because it is real. But that everyone should read this book for the simple reason that the facts brought to light by Bruce Haney's life affect us all. Next time you hear about "Road Rage" killing someone, or yet another school shooting, you will not have to shake your head and wonder "why is this happening?" you will know the answers if you have read this book. As shown through the story of one man's life and how close he came to these very things.
This Affects Us All

Having absorbed this book chapter by chapter, piece by piece, I realize how much of Bruce Haneys writing touches us all, touches, me, in my everyday life. We all need this book as mandatory reading to understand how much our everyday life is filled with substances, of which we are unaware, and how they are influencing us. Mr. Haney, himself, has had to suffer the effects on his body and mind of the poisons in our everyday world, in the treatment of fruits and vegetables, in horticulture, in the arena of war, as well as home improvement products. His body gave him feedback -among other symptoms-in pain, in memory loss, and loss of bodily functions, as well as mental disorders that came and went. Courageously he has fought "the system" and to come up from the depths, retraining his mind, purifying his body after the havoc wreaked by various toxins. Not only was he affected but, so too, every member of his family, illustrating to us that we can all be, and are, affected by toxins in our environment. He has diligently and thoroughly investigated his topic. With the writing of this book he is passing the ball to us, to become aware and to speak out. I recommend this book hightly to raise consciousness about something that affects us all.
