Marcia's book chronicles not only her life, but her search for health. I was deeply touched by the inclusion of her father's journal entries about her. She was a treasured daughter, but after his death, she took many turns trying to find that unconditional love again.
She developed Environmental Illness with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Her life was almost one of a recluse because of this. She was allergic or reactive to many common smells from smoke to fabric softener. Once a liberal Californian she traveled to a small town in rural Georgia for help. Remarkably she found it. She includes some of the sessions and I found them very healing for myself.
If you are at the end of your rope and have tried many healing modalities, this book will give you hope. Her book will be the light at the end of the tunnel for many.

It's 3:00AM and you're worried sick. Your world is crashing down around you and there seems like no light at the end of the tunnel. HELPPPPP!!!!!Doctors have given you a death sentance. Is there a way out???? Where is God in all this???? Why me???

Thanks to Google, that mad 3:00am search led you to the right place!

"A New Song For Marcia" proves that God still heals today and He will heal you too. Marcia was a hippie, a yippie and a follower of a guru. At one point she became deathly ill with Environmental Illness (E.I.). She traveled the world and dabbled in everything to get well. Then, She had a close encounter with the living God! She is completely healthy today! WOW! What an awesome God!

Her book explains the whole journey -- the healing of her body, spirit and mind. Her testimony is not only moving, but will help pave the way towards your own. Remember, your sins are not so great that God won't touch you.

I strogly advise anyone sick with any illness to buy this book. It
is also great for people coming out of the New Age.

Although this is a "Christian" book, I believe the principles Marcia used to get well will work on everybody.

See also Henry Wright's "A More Excellent Way" and Anita Hill's "Out of Many Waters".

Be blessed!

Marcia Fisher's book "A New Song For Marcia" would be valuable to anyone. For those on a spiritual search for truth, she tells how she encountered the One True God. And for those who are bound up by sickness, or imprisoned by anything, she tells how to get free.

A New Song for Marcia

A New Song for Marcia is a deeply moving true personal account of a woman who tried everything under the sun to get well from environmental illness and multiple chemical sensitivity. This vibrant woman loves life, and the story talks about her growing up, her becomimg active San Francisco in the 1960's and spiritual as well as travel adventures, but how crippling disease basically turned her into a shut in with few friends and less who understood her. Do you ever feel like no one understands what you're suffering from? Get this book, because it is not only the story about her getting sick, but she shares her journey of how she got well and has stayed well for many years.

Many people are still trying to get well, and this book is a ray of sunshine and hope. It is not just a promise or a `maybe', but the actual story of how she got sick to the point of where she was even reacting to water and her own clothing. She shares the hopelessness many people feel when no one around them understands how they have severe reactions to the simplest substances. With compassion and grace she talks about what it was like and what she needed to do to become well. It's not just one woman's story, but I could certainly relate, and her story has helped me tremendously.

Marcia gives you a look into how it was when she spent her days trying to get well, and sometimes just trying to survive. But the best part comes when she tells you how she went from being stuck at home, not able to go outside without a respirator mask, to how she got well to where she lives free of illness today.

She shares what she did to get well, which is information you can use for your own life. What she did, you can do, too. Anyone can get well from EI and lots of other illnesses. If you think about it, many people are just being 'maintained' in their diseases. The medicines we take just keep us from feeling the symptoms, but what if we could actually have a better day and be rid of what is causing our disease? Marcia and others are living proof that it is not only possible, but it is a reality.

Marcia is one of thousands of people who are well and living a happy life. She can go where she wants, wear what she wants, and eat what she wants and is no longer bound by reactions and fear of perfumes and foods.

On her journey to get well, she tried many alternative therapies and eastern medicine modalities and other ancient spiritual traditions, even astrology and mantras. All the while it presented the false hope of getting well, but she just became more ill and more stressed and less able to enjoy life. Then something she never expected and certainly was not "into" was responsible for healing her friend, Anita, and Marcia wanted that for herself, too.

What is a total miracle is that she literally found answers that really worked, not just empty promises. This book is something everyone who cares about people should read. Whether you are sick and trying to get well, or whether you just are curious as to how real miracles happen today, or perhaps if you have a friend who has been suffering with illness and seems to be losing hope. It is a small investment of time with great rewards to learn the truth.

The media presents those who believe in God as some backward, not "with it" crowd of bigots, and that is so far from the truth. This book is a beautifully honest and forthright account of how someone who was into everything anti-christian found out that a loving relationship with God is the literally the way to health and happiness. Marcia had been involved in many of the "in" spiritual practices to which people flock today, and they always seemed to present a peace, but when you stop to think about it, it was a peace that did not "stick" under stress. They looked good, talked good and felt good, but in the end did not make her well. And yet in simple faith through a small rural ministry that now has become one of the cutting edge centers of authority on allergies, environmental illness and the healing of disease, Marcia is well today and has been for many years. This book is her personal story with detailed help and information on how she walked out of illness into healthy living, and continues to be in health today.

Many people are looking for spiritual answers, and because of bad experiences in church or with people who did not practice what they preached, and how the media presents Christians, they think it is a dead lifeless religion. Even if that is how you see it, you owe it to yourself to do an unbiased read through with an open mind. You are so worth another chance, and this book is not to be missed by anyone who wants real answers to getting well.

I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed Anita Hill's story of her recovery from MCS/EI and other physical and psychological diseases, many of which are considered incurable today. People really do get well, and miracles do still happen. I'm glad Marcia took the time to help us not just by sharing her own story, but in such a way that it can help anyone find out how to get well and start living in freedom again.

A More Excellent Way: Be In Health
Out Of Many Waters: A Testimony Of Healing

Written by an MD Nurture Nature Nurture Health is what I hoped: A book that outlines the toxins contributing to all sorts of health problems and practical tips on how to minimize them, how to detoxify, and how to boost the immune system.The section on what you can do and the resources are amazing.I will use this book forever!

This book is a true blessing for the planet and those of us who live on it. A guide on the link between our lifestyle and diseases of the earth and ourselves.1 in 3 Americans will develop cancer, 17% of US children have either a learning, emotional, or developmental disorder, and 1 in 7 womwen develop breast cancer today when in 1969 it was 1 in 22. If you want to know the TRUTH and what you can do--read this book!

I purchased this book after seeing the author on Fox and Friends. It definitely opened my eyes to the types of chemicals and toxins that are in our environment that ultimately end up in our bodies. As a nursing mother of a 5 month old I was pleased to learn steps I can take to keep our home and myself less toxic with the ultimate goal of keeping my baby healthy for years to come.

The book does seem to be repetitive at times and can be a bit daunting only due to the large chemical words constantly used- but how can you get around that. I was hoping there would be more info on how to detoxify our bodies besides eating vegetables and fruits washed down with some green tea. It does have a great reference section. With this book and a website - the green guide- I learned about in the book, I have already started making changes around our house. Just today I was looking at the ingredients in my son's sunscreen and found that it has chemicals that has shown to affect the development of the brain and reproductive organs in laboratory rats! Needless to say I found a much safer sunscreen. I also found that my shampoo and conditioner has one of the "7 Ugly Ingredients to Avoid in Personal Care Products"

Overall it is very educational, eye opening, and if you are looking to improve your health I highly recommend this book.

Dr. Gaynor's newest book takes up where Dr. Gaynor's Cancer Prevention Program left off. I was amazed at the science showing not only how toxins are found in places I'd never have guessed(eg.some lipsticks have lead) but that safe alternatives exist for all of them.The roster of famous MDs who endorsed the book reads like a Whose Who--Dr Mehmet Oz(You- The Owner's Manuel), Dr Michael Osborne(President of Strang Cancer Prevention Center),Dr Mimi Guarnieri(Scripps Institute),Dr William Rhea( environmental medicine specialist).That's good enough for me.

One of the most compelling introductions I'm aware of on chemical and electromagnetic sensitivity. Some of the advice on how improve a house (she says to disconnect the smoke alarms, by why not just use the battery operated kind?) probably should be changed, but until a more definitive guide comes out, this is a great place to start.

The autor is very clear, gives a good plan on how to came closer to a problem of dificult diagnosis.

Lots of references and helpful information.

A very good first book about enviromental caused health problems.

The Sick House Survival Guide: Simple Steps To Healthier Homes by Angela Hobbs (herself a recovered victim of indoor pollution and a home environment safety activist) is an informed and informative guideline to various aspects of a typical American home that can aggravate environmentally hypersensitive individuals -- estimated to be more than 15% of all North Americans. Recommending ways to avoid, circumvent, or otherwise reduce specific aspects of modern technology that can have a negative impact upon individual health (such as too much exposure to EMFs, impure air or tap water, irritant-causing synthetic fabrics, etc.), The Sick House Survival Guide is an extremely practical, "user friendly" work for organizing balance and living healthier without necessarily retreating to a technology-bereft lifestyle.

The Sick House Survival Guide is one of the most compelling and informative books I've read on healthy homes in a long, long time, and I've read quite a few over the past few years as I researched this topic for my books on natural building and passive solar heating and cooling.

Unlike the other books on the healthy homes, The Sick House Survival Guide delivers a much more personal and understandable message. In this extraordinary book, the author skillfully weaves a powerful (and frightening) tale of her own exhausting battle to discover the underlying causes of her mysterious and debilitating symptoms contracted soon after she and her family moved into a newly refinished home in Canada. Against all odds, including dozens of narrowly trained doctors and a highly skeptical husband, the author uncovers a multiplicity of causes for her illness: a toxic mix of chemicals outgassed by many components of her home such as newly refinished hardwood floors and electromagnetic fields given off by fluorescent lights, clocks, appliances, computers, and a host of other electronic devices.

If you are experiencing unusual symptoms that you suspect are related to your home or work environment, read this book. If you know someone who complains of symptoms that doctors can't attribute to anything -- except perhaps psychiatric problems -- you owe it to your friend or relative to put this book in his or her hands. This book could help them discover the causes of their own illnesses and eliminate them from their homes -- regaining their health.

If you're just interested in learning about the many ways our homes can poison us, you need to read this book. In fact, it should be required reading for every physician in the country!

This book provides an excellent overview of the science linking sprawl and public health that will be useful to both public health professionals less familiar with planning and planners less familiar with public health. Dr. Frumkin's message is clear: urban sprawl is having a detrimental impact on many aspects of public health. However, his tone remains objective and hence more useful. Moreover, the references alone make the book a very valuable text for all professionals working in this area.

The Europeans are way ahead of our efforts to consider health issues in the urban planning process. This book provides a history and direction to address urban sprawl and understand well the health implications of reckless or solely market-driven city planning. After all, no built community will have sustainability, if its populations are at risk for chronic and acute illness.

Presented are the ingredients to make our cities safer and livable. This is a must read for City Planners, County officials, and anyone interested in cleaning up our urban communities with an eye toward social equity and environmental justice. MJY

The costs of sprawl are enormous. This book describes the costs in terms of many different types of public health measurements. If you haven 't thought about sprawl, this is a good place to start. It is chilling to think about how many physical, emotional, psychological and medical ramifications there are to the US automobile lifestyle. The price to degradation of the planet was not discussed in depth but that too would make you think about our legacy of our lifestyle to the quality of our planet for future generations. I am encouraged that the topic is being developed. The automobile lifestyle is addictive and to change it will require a paradigm shift. The shift starts with organized discussions and lucidly presented data. This book is excellent on both accounts.

A broad (though not particularly deep) guide to the public health problems associated with sprawl, including: (1) the air pollution caused by sprawl-induced auto traffic, (2) the health consequences of the reduction in walking caused by automobile dependency, (3) injuries and deaths from auto traffic, (4) water quality problems associated with suburban development, (5) the alleged intangible costs of automobile dependency (e.g. driving-induced stress, the isolation of nondrivers). None of these issues are addressed in enormous detail; for example, the book occasionally mentions pro-sprawl counterarguments, but does not fully address them. But then again, each of these topics could probably justify a separate book.

"Truth is the daughter of time", a saying used by Alice Stewart, cannot come soon enough in this era.
Gayle Greene should be held in the highest esteem for the eloquent presentation of Alice Stewart's quest for truth. Her writing is crisp and unencumbered, and it hold the reader's interest into the life of this feisty, humorous, brilliant woman. Dr. Stewart, just by being of the female gender, found it hard to be taken seriously, and it was not until late in her life that she was honored for a life of accomplishment and dedication. A simple woman born to parents who were both doctors; doctors who put their patients ahead of money and power.
It was a tenet to be carried on by their daughter, Alice Stewart, who never gave up trying to educate the public about radiation proliferation. Thanks to her, thousands of babies were saved from the horrors of exposure to radiation when the medical profession listened to what she had to say about xraying during the first trimester.
Later Alice was funded to examine the effects of radiation on works who handled nuclear materials and weaponry. When her message was not what the AEC and others wanted to hear or receive, they tried to confiscate her work and cut her funding. Indeed, the funding was cut off, but she managed to secure her work and continue its research. Gayle Greene's writing abilities are able to give you the sense of Dr. Stewart's anguish and frustration.
The Woman Who Knew Too Much is a classic example of the control of information which the public direly needs, but which is buried and censored. This book, though written several years ago, is as pertinent as if it were published yesterday, and it should be read by all who are interested in the welfare of humanity. The inclusion in a science or social studies curriculum of the developing minds of students would be a well-deserved legacy for this wonderful woman who died in 2002 at the age of 96.

As Research Director of the Hanford Veterans Cancer Mortality Study I have worked closely with Dr. Alice Stewart. I have learned from her, laughed with her and admired her as the most extraordinary human being I have ever known. But, I never knew her well enough. You must read this book! It will give you a new understanding of the meaning of courage and integrity. More importantly - have your children, especially your daughters, read this book. Thank goodness Gayle Greene has written this eminently readable biography of Alice. It allows us to understand where her drive comes from and how Dr. Stewart can suffer the slings and arrows of the federal scientific pygmies who attack her work. The heart of the story, and a key to Dr. Stewart's personality, can be found in the juxtaposition of the the ending words of Chapter 13 where Professor Greene says "Alice is called in by...radiation victims, her investigations turn up cancer in excess ... the studies are handed over to official bodies...the official studies invoke the A-bomb data to discredit her finds....Time passes." `It's a long, slow business,' she (Dr. Stewart) says." Compare this with one of Dr. Stewart's favorite quotations, "truth is the daughter of time." She has waited, we will wait; but Dr. Helen Caldicott is right "her work may (I say `will') receive the recognition and thanks of the future." When one finishes reading this marvelous book one cannot help but think of George Sand saying "humanity is outraged in me and with me. We must not dissimulate nor try to forget this indignation; which is one of the most passionate forms of love." Thank the Good Lord for this stunning creature called Alice Stewart. And thank Gayle Greene for helping us to know her just a bit better.

Courage and Integrity in Science: A Precious Rarety

The Woman Who Knew Too Much: Alice Stewart and the Secrets of Radiation by Gayle Greene. Dr. Stewart is a British physician and epidemiologist (born in 1906 into a large family of physicians) who revolutionized the concept of radiation risk. In the 1950s, while surveying childhood mortalities in the British Isles, she finds that then quite common X-ray examinations during pregnancy doubled the risk for childhood cancer. Fueled by the wrath of radiologists, her work has been viciously derided among the medical establishment for more than two decades. In the 1970s, she finds that some workers at nuclear weapons production sites, such as Hanford, WA or Oakridge, TN are dying of radiation induced cancers, showing that presumed "safe" levels of occupational exposures put these workers at a twenty times higher risk than officially admitted. With that finding she places herself on the "enemy list" of an immensely powerful nuclear weapons establishment, including its scientific elite, and at the center of an international controversy over radiation risks. Stewart's fascinating story, a collaborative memoir told by herself and Greene with verve and humor, is one of a woman scientist's ingenuity, independence, perseverance, compassion, and integrity, a fascinating tale in the checkered history of a mostly male-dominated science. Rudi H. Nussbaum, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Physics and Environmental Science.

The book spans the lifetimes of Dr. Stewart and her parents. It offers a fascinating description of medicine in Britain in the late 19th century, the entry of women into the medical field, and the institutional resistance in the second half of the 20th century to the fact that low levels of radiation are dangerous. Given the recent announcements by the US Government concerning health risks in the nuclear arms industry, this is a timely and fascinating book. Well written and researched.

Protecting your children from the many perils lurking in today's world is bound to be one of your top priorities.
But some of the most insidious threats to their well-being are those you can't see and may not even be aware of -- and that your kids are quite apt to be regularly exposed to at home, at play and at school.

Chemical-Free Kids is your guide to the whereabouts of these invisible dangers -- the toxic substances that permeate our food and environment -- as well as to strategies that can enable you to keep them from doing irreparable harm to your family.

In this highly informative yet reader-friendly book, you'll learn the identity and characteristics of the chemical culprits hiding in processed and conventionally-grown food, either in the form of poisonous residues left over from pesticide applications or as additives intended to preserve it or disguise its flavor and appearance. You'll also be given an overview of the health hazards to your children posed by all manner of household and garden products, from air fresheners to lawn sprays. You'll find out why government watchdogs have been so lax about regulating or banning these hazardous substances and what steps you can take to gradually eliminate them from your family's environment.

This book will also provide you with highly workable plans for introducing your kids to a healthier lifestyle, for making your child's school safe from toxic sprays, and for weaning your kids off junk food and winning them over to nutritious, unadulterated meals and snacks. It even offers dozens of recipes to help you detoxify your family's diet -- including some especially geared to kids with allergies to certain kinds of foods.

The wealth of essential information and advice you'll gain from reading "Chemical-Free Kids" includes:

* How you can phase out products that contain harmful additives and replace them with healthier ones -- including the ten best foods for children -- without disrupting your lifestyle.
* How detoxifying your child's diet can prevent or limit food allergies and sensitivities.
* Why artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame) should be avoided.
* How you can give your baby a priceless gift by limiting your exposure to toxic substances during pregnancy.
Non-toxic pest-control techniques, and other easy and convenient methods for maintaining a chemical-free home environment.
* How to avoid the life-threatening hazard posed by a deadly nerve gas in widespread domestic use as a "fumigant."
* The various reasons that organically grown foods are so important to your family's health.
* The twin menaces of lead and mercury exposure -- and how you can keep these extremely toxic and nerve-damaging heavy metals from harming your child's development.

Of all the books I have seen on this topic, this is the most practical and easy to understand. While the focus is on kids, the information can be most helpful for parents who want to reduce toxins in their diet and environment as well. This book does not use scare tactics in presenting information, but just tells it like it is with a lot of references. The part on heavy metals and vacinations was most valuable to me right now (which is why I got the book), but I have learned more about fake colors and other additives from this book than from all the magazine stories and newspaper articles combined.
An excellent choice for anyone who really wants to learn about pesticides, food additives and related issues. The only thing I would have really liked is if the book were spiral bound (which would help with the recipes), but mostly because I use it for reference (for example, ways to make less toxic cleaning agents) and a spiral bound copy would be much easier.

Every parent should be aware of the issues addressed in this book! This is not a new age earth mama read. This is for any adult that cares about children.

I knew enough to stop cleaning with chlorine bleach, comet & ammonia years ago [use vinegar, hydrogen peroxide to disinfect, baking soda to scrub - it's also less expensive] & every parent knows not to allow their kids around pesticides but this book actually explains the consequences. The info on food coloring alone is worth the price of the book! Great basic reminders like `read food labels' to avoid fructose corn syrup & other additives. Our local doctors confirmed the information about avoiding chemicals vs the biological elements in reference to allergies.

This book not only tells you what to avoid - it also describes practical alternatives.

It is an interesting easy read, broken down into sensible sections [making it good for a parent with short spans of reading time], and has great references. You don't have to have kids to appreciate this information & it should be required reading for all school board members [it's not only about food but chemicals in fabrics, bldg. materials, etc.].

If you are reading this review you are obviously interested in the health of your children - this book is defintely one you will want to read.

Filtered water, distilled water, cancer causing chemicals in YOUR water, scam water sales people and more - with all topics covered. It's a book, a reference and a work to share with your best friend. I give it Five Stars and a Double Rainbow!!

I keep coming back to this book for ideas, information, and inspiration. A must for every teacher and librarian.

This book is an excellent resource for parents and educators who wish to develop environmental awareness in young children. It is filled with LOTS of activities, stories, songs, and resources which help children to establish a spiritual connection with the earth and all its creatures. Through reading this book and utilizing its ideas, parents, teachers, and the children in their care can't help but develop a greater respect for the world around them. I have also found the Dream Starter section in each chapter to be an excellent relaxation tool for myself as well as my children.

This is a great resource book for early childhood nature studies. Great for family or school use. It lists activites and books for many nature topics. The cycle of the day, endagered species, protecting the environemnt and more are all covered with books and activites for ages 3 and up. (probably to about 3rd grade)

The content is so innovative and helpful, and I loved the voices. Rosetree's especially packed a punch for me. To have such a powerful empath read these words made them penetrate deeply into my consciousness. If you are an empath and you love audiobooks, this book will make a deep and healing impression on you, as well.Let Today Be A Holiday 365 Ways to Co-Create with GodAura Reading Through ALL Your Senses: Celestial Perception Made Practical, Second Edition

"Jen's upset about something." my co-worker said about our receptionist. I looked up from my paperwork and replied "How can you tell that just by how she walks down the hallway? " "I don't know. I just can. Can't everyone?

Actually, no. Only one in twenty of us are empaths - those of us who "identify with and understand another's situation, feelings, and motives" (American Heritage dictionary). If you are someone with those gifts, this audiobook is well worth the time invested in listening to it.

Rose Rosetree, teacher, author and yes, empath has written and recorded a very unique guide for those of us with these wonderful skills in "Empowered by Empathy". Not only does she explain the various forms of empathic knowing (emotional oneness, intellectual shapeshifting, etc.) but she goes on to offer a variety of techniques specifically designed to assist in working with these gifts rather than being hindered by them.

My co-worker, mentioned above, is exquisitely attuned to what others are feeling. Yet, she's had to all but turn that ability off in order to stay afloat emotionally. Because of her centered and calm demeanor, others are drawn to her and she often finds herself drowning in their "stuff". If you've been there, as I have, you know it's not a fun place to be. Rose teaches skills that will show you how to turn down the empathy dial so you can still be present for others but take care of yourself at the same time. She also gives you real life examples to clarify her points and shares her answers to questions the reader might have (based on her years of working with empaths).

The six cd set runs a bit over seven hours and is great to listen to in the car. Rosetree's voice carries her clear and positive intent as a teacher of this wonderful work. I listened on my way to work and felt uplifted by the twinkly energy in her voice. I read the book a couple years ago but listening to it allowed me to catch things I missed by reading and also jogged my mind about techniques that were relevant to my own inner work. One of the things I like most about all of Rose's books is her ability to speak to different levels of the audience without losing anyone by being too technical nor boring anyone by being too basic.

A wonderful adjunct to the printed book, "Empowered by Empathy" audiobook is a good way to learn how to fine tune your empathic skills and have a little fun with it.

Rose Rosetree draws upon her many years of experience and expertise with empath empowerment in Empowered by Empathy: Twenty-Five Ways To Fly In Spirit an informative introduction to awakening personal empathy through the application of Rosetree's expert techniques and intuitive spiritual development. This six-disc CD audiobook edition of Empowered by Empathy has a total running time of 7 hours, 13 minutes and deftly carries the listener through easy, step-by-step techniques to taking hold of and control life; turning on the gifts for recognition of the true experience of "otherness"; turning off the gifts to block picking up the pains of others; and obtaining a practical understanding of empathy as a true and enduring blessing, regardless of how much suffering has resulted in having lived as an untrained, uncontrolled empath in the past. Empowered by Empathy is very strongly recommended, especially for those who were born with physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, or metaphysical empathy.
