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.

Many diseases are not inevitable, but rather preventable. "Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family" is a family-oriented guide about maintaining good mental and physical health, from nursing infants to preventing obesity to tips on buying safe and proper toys. Scientific evidence supports the recommendations of this seminal guide to promoting health within one's own immediate family. "Holler for Your Health" should be read by anyone in charge of younger people's health, as well as those who are planning to be.

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.

In our "spin" world of mis-information and bald-faced lies Holler for Health is a beacon of bright light shinning through the smog. There are so many accepted sacred "lies" in our culture ranging from fluoride toxicity to the deadliness of dental fillings and vaccinations. Not only those, but also the poisons in personal care products and to the long-term toxic effects of everyday plastics.

Do your self - and future generations - a favor. Not only read this book, but use the information in it. Use it daily as you navigate your life to take care of your body. Use it to help be a change agent. Silent Spring helped change the world's use of pesticides. Holler for Health can help change the world's use of so many other truly toxic chemicals. Thank you Teresa Holler for putting so much into this amazing work.

An excellent discussion for both lay and medical people on environmental hazards in the home. Easy to read and right on target.

As a mother of soon to be three and aware of all the controversy over whether or not to give vaccinations, I picked up this book after seeing Teresa on the local news channel. I found the information coming from not only a medical provider but a mother herself very informative. Clearly she is on a mission to help and heal and that is a rare gem in the medical world today. I was alarmed at all the information that grabbed my attention and drew me eagerly to each up and coming page. My plan was to read about vaccinations and put the book down but ended up reading it from cover to cover! I am thankful that I did! This book has shaped the way I look at everything from reading food labels, buying plastic water bottles, shots, even toothpaste! This was a quick and informative read packed full of alarming insight at every turn of a page.

Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family is a wealth of wonderful, in-depth knowledge that everyone needs to arm themselves with in order to live a healthy, happy life. Author, Teresa Holler is a Physician Assistant with a masters degree in Primary Care Medicine. Within the pages of this book you will discover interesting facts about every day house hold items and how they can affect the human body and not for the best. Mrs. Holler helps explain how just changing simple habits can ensure you can decrease doctor's visits.

Even wonder what all those words on food and product labels mean and I don't mean just counting calories or carbohydrates. Well now you will be able to speak this new foreign language. In Holler for Your Health: Be the Key to a Healthy Family, you will not only know what you are reading but also what your food is actually made of. You will never look at a label the same way again. I was aware of some of the topics discussed in this book but there was still a lot that I was surprised to discover that I didn't know. You can bet I will put what I learned about to good use in my every day life.

Excellent book every household should have!! Some of the most factual and important information everyone should be aware of. Easy to read and reference!! All info is reliable from scientific sources.

This book is a must have for anyone who is concerned about environmental toxins and the negative impact they have on human health. The author has performed a great service in writing this book which is obviously the result of intensive research.

While the information is fairly technical, the author has presented it in a very easy to read and easy to understand manner. Her message is a good one - the only way that manufacturers will stop making toxic products is if consumers stop buying them. Nearly every reader and every mom and head of household will want to heed Holler's call to "Shop Smarter" and make your world and our shared world a safer and healthier place. Please read this book and share it with your friends and family - their mysterious health problems may improve dramatically if they follow the roadmap recommended by the author to reduce their toxic exposures.
