Detox Your Home: A Guide to Removing Toxins from Your Life and Bringing Health into Your Home

by Christine Dimmick

Cancer affects 1 in 2 persons, and nearly everyone has an autoimmune-related disease or allergy. We live in a world where the incidence of illness grows as fast as the GDP. Industrialization has created a world that puts products before human and environmental health. Exercise and eating right is not enough. In this rapidly growing world, our resources are depleting along with our health and the public sees and feels this daily.

Health and Wellness speaker, advocate and Good Home Company Founder, Christine Dimmick, takes a deep dive into the toxins found in our very own homes, and how you can limit your exposure and take control of your own health. Detox Your Home addresses all of these issues - from clothing to food to the cleaning products used every day in homes just like yours. Dimmick unveils what manufacturers won't, so you can avoid exposing yourself and your family to the hidden toxins eating away at America's health and wellness. Detox Your Home is the essential go-to book for how to live a life of wellness, and will show you how to improve - in every part of your life.--Margaret Cuomo, MD, Board-certified Radiologist; author of A World Without Cancer; National Advocate for the Prevention of Cancer, Heart Disease and Diabetes "Midwest Book Review"

I read this book because I have so many allergies and I have relatives with other allergies. So, I thought this could make my home a healthier place for all. Some of the author's ideas are practical and there are proven cancer causing agents in some items I had never thought of. But, to remove all of these items from your home would be next to impossible unless you have a bigger budget than mine. There are now companies, such as the one the author founded, that are provided more natural, eco-friendly and health friendly products but they often cost a lot more than others. Still, I am thinking any potentially toxic substance I can replace with a healthier one is a win for me. So, I have been able to confirm so products I thought were safer are, and replace a couple others.

This didn't turn out to be exactly what I thought it would be. I sort of expected a room-by-room way to "green clean" one's house. What I found was much better, however, as Ms. Dimmick very thoroughly explains how chemicals and pollutants can and are found in just about everything (which I already knew). But also included many ways to avoid and replace said problems. Very well researched and informative. I'm very glad I read it, it's a good idea to brush up on this sort of thing as I tend to forget over time. Thumbs up.

This book is a good introduction into the world of how to avoid toxins in your everyday items. Dimmick provides a lot of researched-based facts on toxins and repeatedly says it is up to us as consumers to change the industry. In my opinion, she gets a little too far with rules on what her family should/should not do to avoid toxins. Her excerpt on WiFi was also interesting.
-1 star because the editor was terrible! So many sentences with bad grammar, misspells, etc.!

With the ever-changing opinions and new studies coming out every day, it's hard to know what's actually good for you. Thankfully, Christine's book Detox Your Home exists. This book is incredible! Christine helps explain how the toxins we use in our everyday lives end up staying with us in incredibly harmful ways and offers real solutions. I wish I'd read it sooner!

If you've ever wanted to learn more about how to detox your life and make health and environmentally-friendly choices, this is THE book. There's so much detail, and it makes it so much easier to decide what products to buy.

Dimmick's excellent research places her at the cutting edge of the wellness movement. She writes with an admirable passion to raise awareness about such crucial issues we blindly face in our homes and everyday lives.

Very informative and very current. A must-read for anyone who wants to learn about health & wellness and how the products we use, the foods we eat, and the environment affect us.

Good info!

A very good starting point. We are swimming in carcinogens, but it's not hopeless. We just have to be a lot smarter.

Christine Dimmick shares her personal story and how she removed harmful chemicals from her life through his amazing guide that will help not only those focused on good health, but also green-minded consumers that want to use their dollar to "vote" for that which doesn't harm our planet. Going through the various home products and their toxins (some of which her company, The Good Home Co, can provide, though she remains objective in her critiques and I appreciated her candid analysis of what her products as well as others can do) and beauty products will especially appeal to many readers. I found it really helpful to learn why certain chemicals are harmful and what studies have shown that they can do.

A helpful, thoughtful, and timely book. Something to celebrate Earth Day with!
