Hi Tom,

A quick and informative read you might enjoy is "slow death by rubber duck" by Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie. It's no wonder we have so many chronic health problems when you realize the level of synthetic/endocrine disrupting chemicals in our houses. A client of mine told me about the new mattress they purchased for the 9 yr old son....it was wrapped in plastic when they got it. First night on the mattress and he awoke with a rash as well as swelling of his hands and feet. Anytime he got near it, he reacted to it. The good thing here is that they were able to see the effects and return it. How many of us show no visible, outward sign and continue to feel these products are safe.
