“Chemicalism I am a Chemaholic” is a 12 step recovery plan to better health based on personal testimonial about giving up an addiction to artificial chemicals found in food and drinks through a lifestyle change.
Simon Kadwill-Kelly aged 51 was obese in early 2013 suffering from high blood pressure and cholesterol just a fraction away from becoming diabetic type II. After a doctor’s prescription for a three month gym membership, an easy change to cheap organic ready meals resulted in better health long term with a 22 kilo weight loss.
Simon’s mum at 94 years old also became cured of terminal gangrene avoiding a leg amputation plus achieved a complete recovery from diabetes type II.
This clear definition of un-wellness is described in several different ways within the book. Firstly with two new words Chemicalism “The subject of being addicted to artificial chemicals in food and drinks by humans and animal” secondly a person suffering from the condition being a chemaholic.
The approach of losing weight by swapping to an 80% natural high nutrition lifestyle is a strong theme throughout. The balance of around 20% of nutrition with artificial chemicals avoids any big sense of deprivation or withdrawal allowing a smooth lifestyle adjustment.
Each of the 12 steps follows a very logical down to earth recovery plan. Technical jargon; references to products; companies, religions or government policy are avoided. It is an easy going read backed up with medical records. It is not a cook book. Readers who choose this book are probably looking for a new way to overcome obesity related illnesses or just want to save money on their grocery bill.
