It was a great privilege and joy to attend the Worcester event of The Healthy Home book tour a week ago. What a great resource this best-selling book is. There are so many toxic influences in our lives … and there are so many simple things we can do to ameliorate them. Following is a brief (4:27) video that Dr. Wentz and Dave Wentz showed at the end of their very entertaining and informative presentation. I hope you enjoy it!

Contact me if you have any questions about The Healthy Home. And be sure to read my earlier posts on the same subject.

My copy of The Healthy Home arrived in Saturday’s mail—record delivery time for Amazon.com! I’m already halfway through the second of six sections, and I must say this book is far exceeding my expectations. And understand, my expectations are always already high whenever it comes to anything Dr. Wentz touches. I can hardly wait for the North American book tour to hit the Boston area this coming Sunday.

Note: Contrary to what I posted before, both the date and the venue have changed for the Boston-area event. Now, instead of the Shubert Theatre in Boston, it is being held in Worcester at the DCU Center, presumably because more people can be accommodated for what promises to be a huge turnout. And the date was shifted from Saturday to Sunday, April 10. Complete information may be found here.

To whet your appetite and to encourage you to get your own copy of The Healthy Home, here are a few excerpts from the book.

First of all, keeping in mind that the book is filled with information indicating that much of what we call “normal” in our lifestyles is actually killing us, Dave Wentz comments, “I want people to succeed at moderation rather than fail at absolute abstinence.” Baby steps, my friends, it all starts with baby steps.

There are quizzes to take at the beginning of most chapters, and your answers can be filled in on the MyHealthyHome.com website (so you don’t have to mark up the book—nice). If you implement just one or two of each chapter’s suggestions, you’ll start to make big improvements in creating a truly healthy home.

Another quote from Dave: “There are many ways to live well. But health always comes back to the cell. When our cells are healthy, we’re healthy.” If there’s anything my association with USANA has taught me, it’s this.

The accompanying website is truly remarkable. There’s a lot of information available even if you don’t register, but tons more if you do. To register simply enter your Unique Web Access Code, found inside the back cover of your book. If you can’t wait, use my code when you register: RHA1IO1HH. Then you’ll be able to read all the helpful solutions they provide to help you avoid many common household dangers.

Do plan on attending one of the live events. I’ve heard stories of people who have driven five hours each way to attend an area event, and they all say that it was well worth driving that distance and longer. Click here for a complete list of upcoming tour stops.

I’ll leave you with this parting quote from page 13:

One of Dr. Myron Wentz’s most famous quotes is this:
“We live too short and die too long.”
He’s made it his life’s work to change that.

I don’t normally promote a book before reading it, but I just ordered my copy of The Healthy Home last evening. The authors are a father-and-son team: Dr. Myron Wentz, famed cellular microbiologist and founder of USANA Health Sciences, and his son Dave Wentz, USANA’s CEO.

So why am I even mentioning it at this point? Two reasons. First of all, it has already received quite a bit of positive press. It was previewed in People Magazine a few weeks ago in advance of its launch last Tuesday (March 22). It has its own website with an “interactive experience” on the home page and lots of useful information throughout.

Secondly, and more importantly, there is a book tour going on right now, and I wouldn’t want you to miss out on an event local to you just because I delayed in writing. Here are the dates and cities (with apologies for those events already past):

I for one intend to be at the Shubert Theatre in Boston on the 9^th, book in hand for Dr. Wentz’s signature. Let me know if you’d like to carpool with me. The more the merrier! And if you’re not local, let me know if you’ll be attending an event closer to you.

As soon as I read the book, I’ll post a thorough review of it, so stay tuned.

Not to alarm any of my readers unnecessarily, but I feel an obligation to pass on some information that I recently received. If you find it helpful, great. I hesitated even writing this post, because panic is certainly not warranted. But with all the news about the nuclear reactor in Japan possibly being subject to a meltdown and already leaking radiation, here are some simple steps that we can all take to fortify ourselves against the adverse effects of radiation poisoning.

As an independent USANA Health Sciences associate, I am on a variety of mailing lists. This message came from Dr. Ladd McNamara. I know Dr. McNamara as the founder of USANA’s Medical Advisory Board and have had the pleasure of hearing him speak at numerous USANA events. Here are excerpts of what he wrote this past Sunday:

[For] those on the west coast of North America, and potentially across North America … as the jet stream circles the Earth: Just a clarification on what I have been recommending for years. In addition to taking your daily [USANA] Essentials, in which the Chelated Minerals contain a daily dose of .3 mg (or 300 micrograms) of iodine, I have recommended that people consider adding Iodoral® … As stated in the Colgan release, there are other minerals needed for adequate thyroid protection, and the Chelated Minerals provide those minerals. People will have to make up their own minds, but by the time the government lets us know that we should be taking additional iodine, it will be too late. Most people will be fine with the normal dose of the USANA Essentials. Others may need more. But, we won’t know who needs it and who doesn’t until it’s too late. Since I’ve been recommending the Iodoral, anyway, for optimal thyroid health, now is the time to add it to your daily regimen if you are ever going to do so. To me, this is a risk-benefit decision: No risk, all benefit!

I have done just that. Yes, most of the supplements I take are USANA brand, but there are a handful that I get from other suppliers. Carditone® is one such supplement that I have enjoyed for even longer than I have known about USANA. Iodoral is now on that list of “supplemental supplements.” On Sunday I did a quick Google search for Iodoral suppliers, found a good deal on the 180-tablet bottle with free shipping, and placed my order. To my delight, it arrived just a few minutes ago, and I took my first tablet.

The protection I’ve been getting for 8½ years on the USANA Essentials has no doubt strengthened my thyroid, and perhaps it is enough protection as the radioactive particles drift their way towards New England. But I trust Dr. McNamara’s recommendation, and I’m happy to add Iodoral to my daily arsenal.

For my readers who are not yet on the USANA Essentials, you can get them only through independent associates like me. If you do not already have a USANA rep, I hope you’ll consider me. I am here to help, and you can contact me through my USANA website.
