My House Is Killing Me! The Home Guide for Families With Allergies and Asthma
This book is helpful in that the factors discussed in it can contribute to, and exacerbate, allergies and asthma. But there is significant evidence that the root cause of many, if not most, cases of asthma and allergies is deficiency of magnesium. This fact is discussed in detail by Dr. Carolyn Dean in her excellent book The Miracle of Magnesium. Dr. Dean recommends 600 mg of supplemental magnesium daily. People with asthma and/or allergies who follow Dr. Dean’s advice about daily magnesium supplementation often improve dramatically even if they have continued to struggle with these ailments under other treatments which omit magnesium supplementation. If you are suffering from asthma or allergies please read Dr. Dean’s excellent book and follow her advice regarding daily magnesium supplementation. It may well be the most important thing you will ever due to relieve these ailments. By the way, although a variety of magnesium supplements are available, and beneficial, chelated magnesium — which is readily available in most health food stores — is the most effective form.

I bought this book a couple of years ago when I started my house hunting. It has helped me tremendously – especially it opened my eyes to most of the typical problems that older houses have in the area I am living in. As a result, I avoided many problematic houses/deals. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to buy a house in New England area!

This book has been used as a refrence guide once we found we had mold in the house. When we called up several companies to get quotes we knew what to ask, which equipment they should use, how they should go about cleaning etc.
It helped us make a better choice, make sure we weren’t wasting our money and get informed about the subject.
