Today, a feeling of vague unwellness is extremely common, and while most doctors believe it has no particular cause, the fact is that we don’t get sick without reason. In Living Dangerously, Pat Thomas presents a comprehensive picture of what is often the cause of our unwellness - toxins in our everyday environment. Unlike the germs that give you a cold or flu, environmental pollutants are particularly dangerous threats to our health, causing subtle damage to the body often years before producing recognisable symptoms. Based on hundreds of medical and scientific studies, Living Dangerously is a health book for the modern world. It explains the sources and symptoms of toxic overload and provides positive and practical suggestions for what we can all do to avoid them. Anyone interested in promoting health and prolonging life will find it an essential resource. 368pp, 136mm x 216mm, softback, 2003
