Margaret Rouse Shontz starts her first chapter with a caption

whatever touches the body is absorbed by it through the skin,

nose, mouth, ears, or eyes. One may not realize this until some

thought is put into it. The medical and drug industries provide

medications with patches or cream for absorption through the skin.

Yet, most of us dont even think that touching a table top, that has

recently been waxed with toxic chemicals, could affect our body

system.

Shontz references her own experiences in her quest to reduce

illness in her body. Being very aware of the changes within her

body during certain situations, Shontz realized that the major causes

of her health challenges were due to improper electrical currents.

In the beginning of her book Shontz explains various electrical

currents and frequencies to make the reader aware that any slight

aversion coupled with chemicals, foods, or some things will affect

the human body.

Shontz suggests that the reader give their house a house symptom

check-up. Some of the illnesses that the house may have are:

green on the brass front door handle, dull knife blades, fruit rots

rapidly, green moss on shingles, or paint is peeling. In turn, Shontz

gives suggestions on remedies or elimination of the cause. In one of

her chapters she calls Bathroomitis she explains that in many

cities, the grounding of the electrical service to the water pipe is

City Codehowever, [some cities] let the ground be to a grounding

rod instead of to the incoming water pipe. Shontz believes that

water pipe grounding is interrupted by magnetism and becomes a

possible household problem. She further states that once the

improper electrical problems are solved, the house water becomes

softer.

Although Shontz has a disclaimer on every page, she has done

much research to back her findings. She cites various books as well

as information that she found on the web. In the back of the book

Shontz includes a bibliography for the reader.

It is obvious that Shontz has done much research and believes that a

sick household, as well as improper electricity, may cause body

illnesses, including weight gain. Personally, I found the information

overwhelming on the first read. My recommendation would be to

use Shontzs book as a reference and check your household one

item at a time. It is a process that could be trial and error until all

areas have been checked. Shontz makes it easier by including an

index. I commend Shontz for stepping out of the realm of

traditional beliefs surrounding illness and presenting alternative

information.
