As we have immersed ourselves in products laden with hidden chemicals, society has become plagued with a host of chronic illnesses. In the span of one industrial century the incidence of cancer has soared from 1 in 8000 to nearly 1 in 2. In fact, nearly half of all Americans now suffer from at least one chronic illness. The sharp rise in childhood illnesses such as asthma, autism, ADD, and childhood cancers are especially bothersome. The problem: Toxic chemicals are bad for health and health is getting bad. For every pound of industrial toxin released into our air and water an average of 42 pounds of the same chemicals are used in products intended for use in or around the home. And so our greatest toxic threat comes from our own purchasing decisions. The Solution: This means we have the power to change the state of our health by simply choosing to purchase safer products. The Difficulty: Toxic chemicals are frequently omitted from labels and grocery shopping practically requires a PhD in chemistry. The Answer: Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family uncovers the truth about the hazardous products lurking in and around your home and provides practical solutions to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals. The Bottom Line: You cannot rely on well-meaning doctors who are not trained to deal with toxic chemicals nor can you expect lax government regulations to insure only safe products line store shelves. You must take control of your family's health in order to increase the odds of remaining healthy in this era of illness. About the Book: Holler for Your Health begins by recognizing the inadequacies of relying on others to protect ourselves and our children. It then provides the information needed to avoid chemicals known or suspected of causing health problems. For instance, the following will be revealed: -the scientific evidence regarding vaccinations and autism -the problem with silver dental fillings -which plastic products are safe and which are not -how to find out what is in your drinking water and how to choose an effective water purification system -how to select less toxic food, children s toys, personal care products, cleaning supplies, cookware, and more Strategies to avoid toxins are offered to accommodate all families regardless of income. The book culminates in a 10-Step Action Plan to immediately apply this knowledge and achieve a lifetime of better health. Holler for Your Health empowers each of us to take control of our own health rather than focusing on the institutions that are failing to protect us. The solution, to stop treating and start preventing disease, truly is in reach. It lies within each of us.

Review
If there is one book you need to read to learn how toxins are making us sick and what to do about it, this is it. Holler for Your Health courageously says it like it is, and makes us take a serious look at the choices we make that contribute to our toxic environment. But more importantly, she guides us and empowers us with new choices to heal our bodies and our environment. She teaches us the most important lesson of the 21st century that our health is intimately linked to the health of the planet. --Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times best-selling author of UltraMetabolism and The UltraSimple Diet
Teresa Holler has written with passion and commitment about one of the greatest challenges we face today: the environmental toxicity that threatens our present health, our families and our future. Teresa uses her medical background, her skill as a writer and her concern as a mother, to give us a thorough, practical book that guides its readers through all the steps needed to create safe environments. Every parent should read it. --Dr Leo Galland, Author of the Fat Resistance Diet, Four Pillars of Healing, Power Healing, and Superimmunity for Kids
Today's parents are increasingly aware of the challenges they face raising healthy children in a toxic world. From plastics to pesticides, children's growth, development, and health are in jeopardy. But rather than being paralyzed by fear, parents need to arm themselves with information and join together to support one another on their quest for health and well-being for themselves and their families. Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family is a powerful tool for parents to become aware, informed, and to take action. Holler for Your Health is an eye-opening book, alerting parents to the often overlooked risks of fluoride, mercury fillings, personal care products, and our food and water supply, among others. But the book goes further by empowering parents to make changes by offering practical solutions and easy steps that we can all undertake to achieve a healthier lifestyle and reduce the toxins in our lives. It should be considered essential reading for anyone interested in holistic healthcare, natural parenting, and non-toxic living. Become informed, support one another, and create change in your families and in our world community. If you are in search of other parents to support you along your journey to improved health and well-being, we invite you to discover the Holistic Moms Network on the internet. ---Nancy Massotto, Executive Director, Holistic Moms Network

About the Author
Teresa Holler is also the author of Cardiology Essentials (Jones and Bartlett, 2007). She is a Physician Assistant with experience in primary care medicine and cardiology as well as a former Assistant Professor of Medicine. Teresa Holler has Bachelors degrees in both Biology and Physician Assistant Studies, a Masters Degree in Primary Care Medicine and has completed Doctoral coursework in Medical Writing and Environmental Health. She is a highly regarded professional speaker who has been endorsed by the President of the National Speakers Association. Her motto is: Stop Treating! Start Preventing! A Message from the author: Dear Readers, You may wonder why I have written this book. Or why I walked away from a successful career as a physician assistant, assistant professor, and owner of a medical education company to a life of uncertainty and financial worries. Like everything in life, the answer is never simple. Those of you who are mothers, and perhaps fathers, may relate to the first reason. It is hard to explain, but once I became a mother I developed an instant emotional bond with all children. Any pain, loneliness, loss, or despair endured by any child became so much more poignant to me. Several years later, while taking an environmental health course for my doctoral degree, I realized that I had been exposing my daughter to numerous toxins that were known to cause disastrous health problems. I was shocked to learn that toxic chemicals are hidden in numerous seemingly innocent household products as well as food and water. It occurred to me that if I had no idea of the danger that lurked in my closets, pantry, garage, and refrigerator, perhaps others are as clueless as I. Perhaps people all over the world are unwittingly poisoning their loved ones just as I had been. How could someone without medical training be expected to know what I, as a medical provider for over a decade and instructor of the next generation of healthcare providers, did not? Thus, my passion for sharing this message was born. I simply could not and can not stand by and watch parents lovingly poison their own children. Please share this information with all of your loved ones. It is hard to measure the value of prevention because we cannot see the results with our own eyes. I will never be able to say with certainty, My daughter did not get cancer because I stopped buying a particular cleaner, baby shampoo, and baby bottle. Yet, I ask you to believe without seeing, because by making simple changes to your lifestyle you absolutely can prevent disastrous health consequences among those you love. I wish you and your loved ones a lifetime of happiness, health, and harmony, Teresa

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful and easily explained to the non-medical reader,
This review is from: Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family (Perfect Paperback)
The author has done a very good job at explaining the strong links between diet and our environment and various ailments including stress and diabetes that makes for very interesting reading. I always felt the genetic link to obesity to be hogwash, but the author did a good job at convincing me the biological reason for the linkage. After reading this book I was sufficiently convinced to buy hormone free milk for my children and certain organic produce for the family, utilize a water filter for the home, and cease applying traditional lawn fertilizers on my lawn in favor of more natural, organic alternatives.

Great knowledge here,
This review is from: Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family (Perfect Paperback)
When I picked this up, I wasn't sure what to expect so I thought I'd write a few lines here... This book is very informative- lots of simple but effective strategies to help protect yourself and your family from disease by avoiding toxic chemicals and getting proper nutrients. I was surprised to read how many products that I thought were safe are really dangerous to my health. I'm still amazed at how hard it is to find this kind of information and how uninformed most doctors are about environmental causes of disease. Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family, contains information that everyone needs.
