Science shows that nearly every corner of our planet is toxic, and that all people carry residues of dozens of chemicals in their cells. Our body, our home, and our world are steadily sickening us every day of our lives.
But we don't have to live in a poisoned world, and we don't have to be sick. We can have a healthy living space again by detoxifying our body and home, ridding both of their burden. The key is to cleanse both at the same time. The Healthy Living Space is the first book that shows you how, and why, to detoxify your home and body together.
In The Healthy Living Space health writer and alternative medicine journalist Richard Leviton gives 70 practical steps on how to use safe, proven, nontoxic, self-care methods drawn from the fields of natural and alternative medicine. The detoxifying steps are backed by science and easy to use; they don't require expensive equipment or a doctor's supervision. They're effective and produce results and you can start them today.
Whether the poisons are in your liver and intestines or in your carpets and drinking water, whether the problem is the shape of your bedroom or radon seeping into your basement, The Healthy Living Space will show you how to get the poisons out of your life and the health back into it.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Good book, but read critically! - 




This is, for the most part, a pretty good book that jam packs a myriad of ways that everyone can follow to detoxify and enjoy greater health. However, it seems that, as most health journalists seem to follow this fundamental flaw, they do not give a pure scientific review to every piece of material, and thus, by taking the word of some authority figure, they take the word as truth.
An example of this would be where he suggests a sodium hypochlorite (bleach) produce wash. Firstly, no studies have ever shown that any such wash, whether it being diluted bleach or the like, have been significantly better at removing residues than pure water. Secondly, sodium hypochlorite is a corosive poison that acts as an irritant, can cause respiratory problems, neurotoxicity, cancer, endocrine disruption, and other various issues. What's even more odd is that he got this piece of advice from a Naturopathic doctor's book; how on Earth could a Naturopath recommend this?
So with that, while generally has quite a bit of good information, make sure to read the book critically, and question EVERYTHING! Be your own scientist and do your own research!

This book has a similar title to Healthy Living Spaces: Top 10 Hazards Affecting Your Health by Daniel Stih.
Get them both.
As one review said of 70 Practical Ways, "This is a huge book, lots of info... Lots to read...."
Healthy Living Spaces: Top 10 Hazards, is an easy read that simplifies things.
Giant! - 




This is a huge book, lots of info...almost too much. Lots to read...too much. Not an easy or quick read.
an almost overwhelming amount of information - 




This book seems to cover every possible topic relating to creating a healthier and less toxic home and body. The author addresses products that most of use everyday and points out the potential hazards.
How many of us would consider a long hot relaxing bath a potentially toxic experience? After reading this book you will understand why it is important to have a whole house water filtration system and to choose carefully your bath products.
I was not aware of all the products in my home that potentially contained volatile organic compounds (VOCs) before reading this book. Some examples of products that typically contain VOCs are dry cleaned clothes, common household cleaners, chlorinated water, tobacco smoke, treated fabric, pressed wood products, building insulation, cosmetics, carpet, plastic, moth balls and deodorizers. If any of these items surprise you, this might be a good book for you.
Are you still using fabric softener in your laundry? This book references a group called CITIZENS FOR A TOXIC FREE MARIN CALIFORNIA that claims there are at least 9 toxic compounds in many brands of fabric softener. I had read about the toxicity of fabric softener in the past. However, this information was enough for me to switch to green laundry products. Why risk your health for something so trivial as fluffy and highly perfumed fabrics.
I don't know that I believe all the information in this book. However, much of the information just seems like common sense. Artificial products/chemicals may be contributing to other health related problems in our homes and our lives. It makes sense to avoid as many of these as we can. The author makes you think about the products that enter your home and your life. I have learned to close every window in my home for a few days when the lawn services are applying toxic chemicals in my neighbors' yards. Just think what those chemicals are doing to the children and pets that play in the grass.
If you are interesting in learning more about green living this is excellent resource.

Detox diets and cleanses, dry skin brushing, dental tips, green cleaning, feng shui, meditation and much, much more. Mr. Leviton covers every aspect of your life in this guide. He includes good instructions on how to do everything along with recipes and where to buy the things you need for the various detoxes. I bought this book after a very disappointing experience with a different detox book. This one is hands down GREAT!
