    About this ebook

    A doctor explains how our environment affects our health, and provides a nine-step plan to help with fibromyalgia, IBS, and other conditions.
     
    In the old days, canaries were used to detect carbon monoxide in coal mines. Today, countless people suffer due to toxins and chemicals that surround us in the modern world, and Dr. John Molot, over the decades, has seen more than twelve thousand patients with environmentally linked illnesses.
     
    In this book, Molot explains how the environment contributes to the development and progression of many common conditions and illnesses, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and other pain disorders, chemical sensitivity, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies and asthma, diabetes, autistic spectrum disorder, and even obesity—and offers an action plan that will make a positive difference to our health, and to the health of our children.
     
    “Compelling and well-written, this is a solidly researched, detailed explanation of the causes and effects of numerous modern health issues. . . . It’s possible to skip straight to the treatment plan, but it would be a shame, considering how persuasive, fascinating, and often mind-blowing Molot’s case is.” —Publishers Weekly

      The human body is a remarkable institution. It is a community of systems that interact bidirectionally and multidirectionally. It incorporates multiple thousands of varieties of bacteria that it selects for their beneficial properties. It gets its energy from mitochondria which it co-opted millions of years ago, but which still maintain their own DNA, even within our bodies. Regulating this intricate dance is a full time job, coping with cuts and bruises, cruising viruses, chemical levels, emotional stresses, and now, with multiple (88,000) newly invented chemicals and chemical compounds in the air, soil and water.According to Dr, Molot, the medical fraternity has been solidly behind ignoring and denying environmental factors, preferring to stick with reductionist approaches. In reductionism, doctors try to isolate a specific organ for the symptoms of disease, and prescribe treatment for it to stop doing that. This of course leaves the disease itself unexamined, untreated and well entrenched. They simply deny that diseases like Multiple Chemical Sensitivities exist.Worse, environmental factors, being so new, confuse the body, which doesn't know what to do with them. ("What is the daily minimum requirement for Teflon?") Worse, some of the chemicals replicate the keys that the body's message system uses to deliver instructions, locking onto and therefore blocking receptors, preventing them from functioning. This has turned the old paradigm of the dose making the poison to the new reality of the tiniest amounts being more than sufficient to do long term major damage to entire systems. The bottom line is that chronic diseases are appearing in ever greater number and variety, and anyone who develops one is more than likely to develop another. The book explains how they relate, how we misdiagnose them, and relegate them to mental illness because they don't leave the bio-footprints of standard disease ("If it's not physical it must be mental").For the tens of millions suffering the new chronic diseases, Dr. Molot fills in many blanks, puts their diseases in perspective, and shows how they fit into an oxidative stress continuum. The continuum is a baseline of oxidative stress (the reduction of working mitochondria) that gets bigger the older we get. It provides a common base for many of these diseases to flourish. We can arrest its development to a certain extent, but we can't yet reverse it. Dr. Molot sees it in the vast majority of his "canary" patients. He calls it The Pattern, and it links dozens of conditions.For Dr. Molot, it has been a struggle against the conservative establishment, an education in realtime as we continue to wreak horrific damage to the environment, and a vindication as more and more of what he knows is finally being recognized as true. Ironically, even as bits and pieces are clinically proven (he has over 2000 footnotes backing his every claim - available online), the overall field of environmental medicine remains an unappreciated outlier.Disclosure: I worked on this book with Dr. Molot for a year and a half. I gave it its framework, helped him make it clearer and more direct and succinct, and helped him think things through to make it powerful. I am thanked and quoted in it.David Wineberg
