TOX-SICK: From Toxic to Not Sick by Suzanne Somers
3.0
I was searching on Overdrive for books about mold - specifically books by Dr. Shoemaker, the mold expert. My library doesn't have any. They suggested this instead...
I have very mixed feelings about this book. It's a combination of interviews with some amazing doctors (including Dr. Shoemaker), and very cringe-worthy "infomercial" type content from the actual author.
The information from the doctors was amazing, 5 star material.
The cringey writing and obvious bias towards all the author's products and beliefs was more like 1 star stuff.
I don't regret reading this - I picked up some really good information, and was reminded of the huge importance of detox to stay healthy in the world we live in.
That being said, I'm still not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend this book. If you do decide to give it a try, I would advise reading the doctor interviews and skimming everything else.
