Where to buy:  The Complete Organic Pregnancy
First off I found this book to be more than just a guide.  It is full of ways to know if a product contains harmful chemicals.  It gives you ways to minimize the toxins that surround you and your family. 

It’s so easy to read and very informative.  It’s also a pleasure to read.  The articles that are included, along with the testimonials of other experts in the organic living field, give you insight into things in our world that you would never imagine to be unsafe. 

I really like the common sense approach this book takes.  It makes it so much easier to deal with some of the things you read in it.  It also makes it easier to figure out what is the right thing to replace these toxins with.  It’s kind of scary to read in some places because it makes you stop to look at what you have been doing to yourself, your family and your home over the years.  With the common sense attitude though you don’t feel as if you have no other choices or horrible about the choices you’ve unknowingly made in the past.  You just want to jump right up, fix it and move on to the next problem.

The references in the book are pretty good too.  Many books will tell you why things are bad for you but won’t go on to tell you how to fix them or what is good for you.  This book gives you all of that.  It’s easy to know that this food is not right but what to replace it with might be left to your imagination.  The references in the book help to guide you to the right thinking and living and the products you need to do that.

I would recommend this book to everyone.  Whether you’re taking care of just you, starting a new family, well into child rearing or even grandparents you will get information from this book you will want to know.  I plan on keeping it on my bookshelf to refer to for years to come and hopefully pass on to my children when they become adults.  After Reading this it makes you really rethinkhow little we no about the environment around us. The companies that  promote products neglect to tell consumers that some of the ingredients they use may be toxic and the happily put it on store shelves. I can go on and on but I won’t , I will save my ramblings for another post.
