Detoxify or Die

Dr. Rogers explains that one of the major contributing factors to disease in the western culture and around the world is our toxic environment. This book is life-changing.

Dr. Rogers proves beyond a doubt that the difference between the very sick and the very well is: the sick people have a high level of toxicity that causes malabsorption that results in a low level of nutrition. She gives explicit instructions on how to reverse those conditions and dramatically improve your health. A "must read" for all of us who have seen scores of doctors without seeing results.

Is there anyone in your family or among your friends who is constantly sick from "mystery" symptoms that have the physicians baffled? The problem may be a lifetime's worth of toxins built up in the fat layer of that person's body from pesticides, plastics, mercury, cadmium and other harmful substances. Sherry Rogers, M.D., is a leading expert on how the environment affects our health. In this outstanding book she tells you all you need to know to diagnose and rid yourself of those toxic residues. It can be a sweaty process though . . . because safe saunas are one of the best ways to eliminate the most dangerous toxins. If you are prepared to educate your physician in environmental medicine (with a lengthy, annotated letter in the book from Dr. Rogers to help you), this book can extend your life. You will probably have to eat better, add some nutritional supplements and aid the detoxification process with various healthy activities. Although health treatments from whatever source come with no guarantees, you certainly improve the likelihood that you will have a healthier life with fewer unpleasant symptoms. Lest you think that only "sick" people need this book, Dr. Rogers points out that younger people are often piling up toxins faster than their elders . . . because the environment is less healthy now than it was when elders were younger. As the book points out, even Eskimo mothers find their own milk filled with toxins. So even babies cannot avoid contamination. Detoxification is the key. With this book, you'll know what to do.

Doctor Rogers is exactly on the mark! I am a trained epidemiologist. I have always been concerned about the illness patterns that seem to be increasing in our culture. Diseases that historically were rare are almost commonplace today. Doctor Rogers has homed in on a root cause that finally describes the root cause. In science the simplest answer that accounts for all the observations is the correct answer. Doctor Rogers has done just that in this book. She has taken all of the observations she has made clinically and the epidemiologic data and has defined the root cause that easily accounts for all the observations. On a personal note, I only wish I had read this book years ago. I was sure that both my parents had some toxic problem. I knew it was from my experience. They both ended up being medicated for their various conditions, eventually they developed Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and rapidly deteriorated until they both died. I was looking for the answer as long as 20 years ago and I finally found it in this book. The solutions in this book range from the simple and not expensive like the "Detox cocktail" up to the FIR Sauna that can truly improve your health but at a more costly level. She offers ways to cope with toxins from heavy metals to endocrine mimics to "mega chemicals" like PCB and halogenated hydrocarbons. I cannot recommend this book enough. I have read outrageous claims in the past that were not well documented and very hard to believe because they offered no scientific support for their findings. Dr. Rogers uses the very best medical references to support her position and clearly knows what she is talking about. If you or someone you love have any sudden onset disease or chronic condition or have been told by a physician that your condition "must be nerves" or "you're just getting old," read this book!

I do not know how to convey to others how important this book is for you to read. I have suffered with chronic pain and some anxiety for years, and only to have doctors tell me "ahhh..I don't know" ...Most doctors truly suck! If you read this book by an actual doctor who knows her stuff, you will be blown away by the information...If you suffer from any malady or sickness, give this book a try and do what Dr. Rogers says to do....She is right! We are all being toxified by environmental toxins that will not leave our bodies, UNLESS we make them go away by sweating in saunas, eating and taking the right foods and supplements and other things she writes in the book to do....I hope my review will persuade and help someone take the jump to do this...Too many people do not understand or care how they are polluting their bodies....GOOD LUCK! By the way - if you have mercury fillings...get rid of them ASAP from a holistic dentist! Trust me.
