So... Am I the only person who kind of thinks the natural living advocates are full of shit? I really don't mean to be ignorant and rude about this but it's been bothering me for a long time.
I ordered this book because I have been thinking a lot about my body and my health lately. I am a firm believer that the body can heal itself and that what you put in is what you get out. I had been thinking that maybe I wanted to invest in organic foods and make my own household cleaners and the like. (The smell of cleaners makes me nauseous. It has for a few years now but I usually just deal with it or don't clean the house.)
There are a lot of things about natural living that I just don't understand. Why do people who live naturally have to ruin everything for those of us who don't? Why do they insist that it will be easy when the first chapter is about how your water will KILL YOU unless you purchase an in home filtration system and then go on to tell you that you need to get rid of all your food and shop only at health food stores? If natural living is so good for you, why do you have to take supplements and give yourself enemas? And why, WHY is it always the government and big business conspiring against us?
Perhaps I am just an old woman, stuck in my ways, but that is not the way I want to live. I suppose this was a good book, a great starting place with tons of suggested resources. I cannot fault Cook's writing or coverage of the subject. This was my own fault for choosing to research the subject.
