I Strongly Felt I Wanted to Publish Before My Complete Improvement
If you want to improve your health, don’t pass up this book!
It provides a valuable guide about certain chemicals we are exposed to numerous times a day through a multitude of products we routinely use. Based on my experience, they have detrimental health effects in the long run. Some substances may worsen autoimmune arthritis symptoms and possibly other autoimmune disorders; others may play a role in the development of the breast abnormalities, diagnosed with increased frequency lately; or worsening the pattern of migraine headaches—thus producing enough morbidity.
Eliminating these chemicals as much as possible, although not easy at times, produced hard to believe, yet steady improvements of my symptoms, while inadvertent or overlooked exposure triggered worsening, time and time again. I hope my observations will turn out to be beneficial for many readers. Generally Recognized As Safe—GRAS chemicals are not necessarily safe, inert or inactive, just because they’re allowed in products we easily find on the shelves.
When I first thought about sharing my observations by writing a book, I knew that through my personal experience up until now, I was only providing a partial solution, especially for the autoimmune disorders. I wanted to offer a complete one, and I thought I should wait until I could get off the autoimmune arthritis medications. And then, it just so happened that I read again one of my favorite books, which deeply shaped my understanding of kindness: the translated title would be By Giving, Thou Shalt Receive.
This book was written by the Romanian philosopher and writer Nicolae Steinhardt, who later in his life became a hermit. One of the ideas expressed in the chapter that bears the same name as the title was to try to give others something you don’t already fully possess. This seemed very strange, and I read the chapter a few times. Finally, I think I understood it: in looking for solutions for yourself, you can find answers that can help others, and sharing those answers, even if partial, like projecting them into a mirror, will bring you back more knowledge and solutions! And that’s very true in what followed.
As I was starting to write these pages and share some facts that proved helpful to me, I was going deeper into the topic, and more questions came to my mind, followed by more consistent answers that further proved even more helpful to me. Noticing this, I was more determined to finish this book even before I had the complete improvement answers, because I wanted other affected people to benefit sooner.
Avoiding the chemicals I analyzed in the book may prove beneficial for many frustrated patients just like me, who may understand the limitations of modern medicine but are disappointed because they cannot live a normal life.
This blog will give me the opportunity to update the readers about my further progress or changes and to disclose some new observations as well. By keeping up with the new information and continuing to read and research relevant literature, I will probably acquire more knowledge that I will also like to share.
Learn what products you need to cut from your routine, in order to maintain or improve your health. Bring the information to the attention of your doctors and also let them know what benefits you notice by eliminating these chemicals from use.
