TOX-SICK – From Toxic to NOT Sick by Suzanne Somers

“Consider this book your crash course in curing whatever ails you as you heal your insides by ridding your body of the toxins.” – Page 12

If you’re like me, when Suzanne Somers first entered the field of health and healing, you thought, “What does Chrissy Snow know about anything – she read the obituaries and thought everybody died in alphabetical order?!” Although it’s not me at my best, I have to admit, when the beautiful and ageless actress first began speaking out about health issues, I didn’t immediately pay attention.

It’s only half my fault, though. I was an AVID Three’s Company fan (during the time Chrissy was on the show, that is – when she left, I left). John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt, and Suzanne Somers WERE Jack, Janet, and Chrissy. Audra Lindley and Norman Fell? Well, they were, of course, the Ropers. I had the episodes memorized and knew each time Jack was about to trip or Chrissy was about to be completely and adorably clueless.

Chrissy isn’t clueless anymore.

In a beautiful and fortuitous twist of irony, Chrissy’s portrayer, Suzanne Somers, is exceptionally bright and highly intelligent. What’s more, she’s possibly an even better author than she is an actress.

I understand what you may be thinking, “Yes, she’s beautiful, talented, intelligent, and unforgivably ageless – but I don’t need medical advice from her…” Before you take that stance, let me point out that she isn’t trying to be anyone’s doctor – she’s using her fame, research, personal experience, and writing talent to relay information from nutritionists, doctors, and an entire team of medical experts.  If each of these experts were to compile their knowledge, experience, and research into books, it would take us years to read them all.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

In her wonderful, informative, and best-selling, thank you very much, books, Suzanne Somers does all of the research for us and puts it all in one place. What’s more, let’s face it, she’s much easier to “read” than a panel of physicians might be.

Here newest book, Tox-Sick: From Toxic to Not Sick isn’t just a must-read, it’s an absolutely must read.

“It’s as if we are all on a big, chemical drunk, and the hangover is a killer.” — Suzanne Somers, in TOX-SICK

From the Back Cover:

Pioneering health and wellness advocate, Suzanne Somers, delivers a powerful answer in this expose on the immediate and long-term dangers of living in a world that has become increasingly toxic to our health.  The build-up of toxins in our bodies can lead to myriad health concerns — including weight gain, food allergies, brain disorders, cancer, among many others. Moved to investigate by her own family’s plight, Suzanne sits down with environmental doctors and specialists who share eye-opening information and practical advice for how to survive, thrive, and stay healthy today. In Tox-Sick you’ll learn how to effectively detox all your body’s systems and the different survival skills that can save your life, from top experts in the field, including:

• DR. SHERRY ROGERS, an environmental doctor for over 40 years, shares the truth about detoxification—and where you will likely be if you don’t take it seriously.
• DR. NICHOLAS GONZALEZ shares where cancer comes from and how to manage it by detoxifying the liver and supplementing with enzymes.
• DR. RITCHIE SHOEMAKER alerts you to mold toxicity, the newest threat to your brain and wellbeing…and just what to do to fight for your health.

From diet and supplement advice to coconut oil cleanses, everything you need to live clean and enjoy great health is in your hands.

{Review Continued Below}

Tox-Sick is as fascinating as it is eye-opening and it’s not an overstatement to say that it has the potential to improve health and save lives.

When doing book reviews – especially for books that I want VERY much for you to read for yourself, I’m always extra careful about giving away too much information. Information “sticks” better and has a more lasting effect when the reader “discovers” it on his/her own. Besides, Suzanne Somers didn’t work this hard on a book just to have an overly-caffeinated animal lover in Kentucky give everything away on her blog!

However, I do want to give you a few highlights from the book. These are, of course, just tips of a life-changing iceberg.

In Tox-Sick, You Will Learn…

• Why the Low-Fat Food Movement has Caused More Harm than Good. “The diet-heart (low-fat) hypothesis is the greatest scientific deception of this century, perhaps of any century.” – George Mann, eminent American physician and scientist
• How Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes Can Help Your Body Heal and Rid Itself of Toxins Naturally.
• How Damage from Toxins Can Actually Mimic Other Diseases.
• The Alarming Danger of Cell Phones and What You Can Do About It.
• Clear Ways to Identify if You Have Toxins in Your Body.
• The Gut-Cancer Connection. 
• Why Processed Foods are Something You Should Swear Off.
• Protecting Your Home, Family, and Workplace. “An EPA study concluded that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air.” (page 219)
• Everything You Need to Know About GMOs.
• The Effect of Toxins on Your Brain.
• Recommended Supplements, including the importance of Vitamin D. “Unless your vitamin D levels are optimal, you are opening the door to a host of disorders, ranging from heart disease and Alzheimer’s to weak bones and diabetes.” (page 280)
• The Effect of Toxins on Your Heart.
• The Effect of Toxins on Your Thyroid and Hormones.
• Dangers of the Wrong Household Cleaners.
• Coming Clean – The Basics of Detox. Includes a great 9-Point Detox Checklist.
• How to Go from Tox-Sick to NOT SICK.
• Much, much more…

The book includes a wealth of information, research findings, personal experiences (some are from Suzanne Somers’ own family), and interviews with leading physicians and other experts in the field of medicine and healing.

“The secret to survival in today’s world is to get your body so chemically UNLOADED and primed with nutrients that it heals itself.” – Dr. Sherry Rogers

After reading TOX-SICK, I’m never going to look at the food or cleaners I buy ever the same again. And I think that’s the whole idea.

I hope you’ll grab a copy of TOX-SICK today – either on Amazon or at your favorite bookstore.

This one is a perfect 10! ~ Joi (“Joy”)
