by +<2/:37/ B :8698>3-2 From the Industrial revolution and onward, the world has become an environment that is overflowing with dangerous toxins. Mass manufacturing has resulted in thousands of chemical pollutants being released in the atmosphere, water, and soil. As well, there has been a widespread increase of chemicals being added to almost every type of food and retail product. With this overwhelming chemical exposure, there has been an increase in research and studies showing the life threatening impacts on our health and well being. In her book, Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking of Our DNA, author Catherine J Frompovich delves into the effects of a chemical laden world on the body at a cellular level. ABOUT CATHERINE J FROMPOVICH: As a result of her lifelong interest in nature and the natural way, Catherine J. Frompovich matriculated in holistic modalities and natural nutrition. During her studies that led to advanced degrees in Nutrition and Holistic Health Sciences and a Certification in Orthomolecular Theory and Practice, she came to realize how important it is to follow the "owner's manual" that comes with the human body - Nature's intended way of life, living, and healthcare. She spent numerous years in practice as a consulting nutritionist. Realizing there virtually were no interactive books on nutrition, she wrote several for children and adults. Some still are offered and available on amazon.com as "collectors items." In the late 1970s and early 1980s, her books were used by teachers in elementary schools to teach nutrition, a subject - and lifestyle - that she feels truly is imperative in maintaining one's health from its prenatal stage and throughout life. At one point in her career during the 1980s, she had a cooking show on cable TV. Of course, it was devoted to the natural way of preparing food. For years she worked as a healthcare rights advocate to ensure that the "powers to be" would not have their way in destroying alternative healthcare and its modalities as "quackery." For five years, she was the editor of The Healthcare Rights Advocate, a 32 page quarterly newsletter centered on the politics of healthcare in the 1980s. In the 1990s she represented alternative healthcare interests on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC. Writing always has been in her genes, so when Catherine's husband became ill, she worked from home as a freelance journalist. As such she wrote and produced two TV shows. One, Turn Off The Violence, was nominated for the 1996 Telly Award. Her work has been published in The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine and other alternative healthcare journals, airline travel magazines, community newspapers, and national magazines. www.CatherineJFrompovich.com
