Books, Manuscripts
In today's world, everyone carries in their bloodstream a toxic assortment of dozens of industrially produced chemicals. Not only do these adversely affect the health of adults and children, but also, and more worryingly, they damage the development of unborn infants; the amniotic fluid of pregnant women has been found to contain a variety of chemicals, such as pesticides, plasticisers, disinfectant products, flame-retardants, surfactants and UV filters, many of which interfere with fetal physiology. This book makes a warning call to action.
