Our home is our castle. A place to feel secure and safe.
But after reading Beth Greer’s book Super Natural Home, I have to say, I’m starting to wonder exactly how safe my house really is. According to Beth Greer, probably not all that safe, especially if you start taking into account all the dangerous chemicals that we invite in and have around our house at all times.
Beth used to be just like you and me, living what she considered a healthy but busy lifestyle. But when a medical crisis (a 5-centimeter tumour in her chest) caused her to re-evaluate her lifestyle, she discovered that maybe her lifestyle wasn’t as healthy as she thought. In fact, she discovered instead of being healthy, it was downright toxic.
So she spent six months cleaning up ‘her act’, eating an all-organic diet, discovered raw food, and cleared out all the everyday chemicals (cleaners and personal products) from her house. Along the way, her health improved and within the year, the tumor and related pain and never damage seemed to disappear.
Since then, Beth has become an advocate of living a healthy, toxic free life, taking all the research and information she has accumulated while changing her own lifestyle and transforming it into the book Super Natural Home: Improve Your Health, Home, and Planet – One Room at a Time.
This book provides a practical guide to discovering potential toxic hot zones in your house and offers a straightforward soultion-based approaches to dealing with them. Broken into three main categories – what goes in you, what goes on you, and what surrounds you – the book can be used as a road map on how to become an environmental savvy consumer.
Of course, you might think, like I did, that your home isn’t toxic. In that case, I’d suggest heading over to Beth’s webstie SuperNaturalMom and sign up to take the Super Natural Home Quiz.
If you’re results are anything like mine, you might want to run out and get a copy of Super Natural Home. It will definitely help you figure out how to make things less toxic in your life.

Super Natural Home is an extraordinary book written by an extraordinary woman.
If I had to recommend three books for anyone to read, this would be one. This is the right book at the right time written by the right person.
I know Beth Greer personally. You will not find a more genuinely delightful, sweet, smart human being — who is authentically committed to helping people be healthier.
This book is packed with useful, life-saving information. Try this test: turn to any page in the book and read that page. If you don’t learn something new and useful — on that page — I will buy the book for you. No exaggeration.
Thank you for this gift to the world, Beth. You are one as well.
