Book Reviews: The Healthy Home

Authors: Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz with Donna K. Wallace

If you care about your health – your COMPLETE health – this is a must read.  First, all funds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Children’s Hunger Fund. One Smiley Face.  Second, and most importantly, this book could save your health, your children’s health and your pets’ health.  It’s just that good.  And comprehensive.  (Second Smiley Face).

I love, and agree, with what the Doctors Wentz have to say.  I threw out my microwave last year.  The last time I had my clothes dry cleaned was ten years ago.  I have a cell phone, which stays at home.  I use it to call friends who then call me back on my land line.  I use only hot water and baking soda to clean my carpets.  I do all this because I have heard whispers over the years about toxins and contaminants in products and appliances, but NOW I know why these are good things!

The point is, I believe many aspects of our environment are creating sickness and disease in ourselves and in our pets.  Again, I just went on instinct.  And I felt not only completely validated by The Healthy Home, but I learned even more on how to live a life where I not only eat well, but take care of my health in my  home, where I spend almost all of my time.

Dr. Dave Wentz discusses these and all other aspects of the need for awareness about our environments and our homes.   Vaccinations are known to cause vaccinosis in dogs and cats.  But what about humans?  We over vaccinate in this country, and we have many immune system disorders because of it. 

This book should be placed by your bedside.  From vacuum cleaners to plastics (bottles, toys, food containers) to food selection, this book tells us the truth.  It is a treasure trove.  The layout of the book is perfect for skimming to find a particular topic, much like the “Dummies” series of books, with tips and boxes full of medical, environmental, and scientific facts about the different topics explored by the Wentze’s.  It covers antiperspirants, the benefits of organic cotton on your body, the poisoning affects of Teflon, air quality in the home, the problems of attached garages – and how to fix it – and pesticides, as well as a long list of every room in the house and possible problems.  As it goes room by room to assist you in keeping your home healthy, it covers every possible aspect of the house that you live in, breathe in and eat in.  It even covers food choices and how to choose the best foods for healthy living.

Don’t get me wrong.  This is not a preachy book or a compendium of boring facts.  This book lives and breathes and is written in a way that compels further reading.  An astonishing book and one I recommend for every reader!
