Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the chemicals in everyday products are killing us—and what the government is not doing about it Did you know that "nontoxic" usually means "never tested"? Or that many green cleaners are good for the environment but terrible for you? Chemist and activist Monona Rossol goes from under your sink to the halls of the powerful, tracing America’s love affair with chemicals that kill, explaining how much worse the problem has gotten in the last decade. Shocking and appalling and completely reckless—that’s how she describes the current prevalence of harmful chemicals in our everyday lives. Scientists have started linking our increased rates of cancer, autism, obesity, and asthma (among others) to chemical exposure and Rossol points the finger directly at the companies and executives making millions of dollars by polluting our environment and introducing toxic chemicals into our bodies. She chronicles how everyday toxins get into our bodies and accumulate over time and provides us with inspiration to make changes at the checkout lines. She also explains that Americans are not nearly as well protected by our government as we might think we are. Unlike the European Union, the United States allows chemical companies to produce toxins for use in U.S. consumer products with little to no oversight. While her tone is wry and entertaining, she’s also well informed, and her fact-filled treatise makes for absolutely terrifying reading. Includes surprising explanations about the chemicals in furniture, detergents, paints, makeup, toys, spray cleaners, ionic air purifiers, art supplies, and more Reveals how many eco-friendly products are good for the environment but bad for your health Exposes the truth about government regulations, product testing, and labeling, including why terms such as "nontoxic" (which often means "never tested"), "hypoallergenic," and "FDA-approved" can be misleading Offers practical ways to reduce your exposure and protect yourself and your family If you’re alarmed by the health risks of the many hazardous chemicals we encounter at home, work, and school, don’t get frightened, get informed. Read Pick Your Poison to learn the facts and find out what you can do about the daily onslaught of toxins that are making lab rats of us all.

Let's cut straight to the chase, you're reading this because you are suffering from some kind of addicted vice (whether they're substance abuse, alcoholism, sex, porno, gaming, social media, laziness, procrastination, overeating, etc.) and are struggling to recover from it. As a result, it is hampering your life or hurting your relationships with friends, families, and loved ones. Addiction is a serious problem. There are many people who battle with it every day. Some never recover, but sadly, most never receive the help needed because they don't admit that they have a problem in the first place. Since you are here, you've managed to overcome that first step in recognizing that you do, in fact, have an addiction problem but more importantly have a willingness and desire to change your old ways. Now you just need to start taking the necessary actions to beat it yourself. What about going to rehab or attending support group? Those are fine options and shouldn't be discounted; however, if you are embarrassed or ashamed to deal with your addictions openly to others or simply want to overcome them in the comfort and safety of your own home - now you can fight back privately and personally with this self-help guide "Pick Your Poison...No More." What types of antidotes will you receive? - An Anti-Addiction Action Plan to Revamp Life without Addiction - A Demonization Visualization to Resist Constant Tempting Urges - A Two-Sided Scale Method to Sustain the Long-Term Progression - A Rediscovery Process to Find and Establish Healthy Alternatives - A Series of Exercises to Eliminate the Old Addictive Dependencies ...and more available for your poisons. Please note, this is not anything like a 12-step program but a quick alternative guide approach of practical hands-on techniques that can work in conjunction with the 12-step program or if you don't have the time nor the desire to go through all those traditional 12 steps for a much faster-expedited process towards getting clean. Are you ready to set your course towards the road to recovery? Are you ready to give up on your poison? Then proceed now with abandoning your poison today. Forget and forgo your poison. Say goodbye to it forever. Pick your poison...no more!
