As I think about the things I have read along the way in this book, so much of it I dismissed in my younger years as being a bunch of “liberal hooey”–a bunch of stuff dreamed up by the hippies in their quest for “oneness with the earth,” or whatever. LOL

I am amazed at the difference in how I think about them now, and am especially reminded of this while reading about all of the dangerous sources of radiation in our lives. Dr. Weil talks about electric clock radios (keep them a foot from your head at night), heating pads and electric blankets (don’t use them), microwave ovens (don’t stand next to them, and don’t cook things in them for very long) and the sun (wear sunscreen, and don’t ever use a tanning bed). I wrote an article not long ago at eBeautyDaily about Dr. Weil’s views on the healthy side of sunshine, that is a bit of a contrast to what is in this book. You might find it interesting. I think his views on this subject have changed just a bit since the publishing of this book.
