NATURAL STAIN REMOVER by Angela Martin

Really excellent little book for any one even slightly chemically sensitive. Instead of the cocktail of often lethal chemicals with which many of us clean our homes Angela Martin suggests a return to baking soda, borax, cream of tartar, glycerin, lemons, vinegar and washing soda - all of which will make an excellent job of cleaning your home but none of which are likely to affect your health.
After a brief history of our current chemical addiction, she ‘cleans’ her way around your house with recipes for natural cleaners and instructions as to how to use them.
The second part of the book is an A-Z of stains - and how to remove them!

STOP THE 21ST CENTURY KILLING YOU - by Dr Paula Baillie-Hamilton

An indepth investigation into how the chemicals in our environment are crippling our immune systems - by both over-activating and suppressing its activities. Over-activation causes super-sensitivity and tissue inflammation; suppression leaves us vulnerable to infection and both chronic and acute long term conditions.
An excellent book not just for anyone with a chronic health problem but for those who do not want to get one!

CLEANING YOURSELF TO DEATH by Pat Thomas

An alarming book which describes in graphic detail, the harm that soaps, shampoos, body and home care products can do us all - and the truly unnerving ingredients that they contain
Its 200 pages give chapter and verse on the toxic chemicals to be found in personal & home care products, the poor to non existent labelling, the lack of safety checks and data, the health and environmental hazards - and non toxic alternatives .

A deeply alarming book, in its broader perspective - but comfortingly re-assuring if you are prepared to follow Pat Thomas' precepts and swop your expensive moisturiser for jojoba oil or your toilet duck for baking soda and vinegar.
