Our Toxic World: Chapter 1'Detoxify for life' is a medical book written by a practicing doctor for patients about the influence of toxic substances on men's and women's health, and how toxicity affects critical organs like the heart, liver and kidneys.
This book gives hope to people who have been suffering from debilitating pain, allergies and illnesses such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome that seemingly have no cure.
Dr. Cline demonstrates, through the use of case studies, how the body can be cleansed and arterial health restored by treatments such as chelation therapy in conjunction with diet and nutrition changes.
Our health today is threatened by the highest levels of toxic carcinogens and poisons the human race has ever been exposed to. There are more chemicals, pesticides and other dangerous substances such as trans fats in the food chain than ever before.
Written in a clear, concise style without using a lot of obscure medical terminology, this book explores the harmful effects and effective treatment of cellular damage caused by toxic substances, including pesticides and heavy metals, such as lead, mercury and arsenic.
There are many clear illustrations to assist you, and all medical facts are carefully supported by an extensively researched bibliographical reference.
An in-depth series of case studies will help you understand how heavy metals and other toxins in our environment have a direct effect on your health, and you may recognize some of your own symptoms when reading this book.
Whether you have a simple allergy or a complex case of toxic exposure, Dr.Cline will help you find the path back to good health once again.
The 'Tipping Point' approach defines the moment where your system goes into abrupt decline, when toxic exposure combined with possible emotional or physical trauma causes rapid health deterioration.
If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, fatigue or any other symptoms discussed in this book, and feel you may have a condition similar to those described on this site, read further and find out where your Tipping Point may have been.

Dr. John Cline is a remarkable physician. I have seen some of his patients before and after they were treated, and I fully expected that any book he would write about his medical practice would be every bit as impressive as the results he achieved with those patients. I was not disappointed.
"Detoxify for Life" is an important contribution to our understanding of chronic illness. It should be a textbook in medical schools and should be consulted by healers everywhere.
Basically, Dr. Cline argues that a great many illnesses, physical as well as mental, are caused by the bombardment of the body by toxic minerals, toxic chemicals, and foods to which people are allergic. Even more importantly, he tells us what we can do about this disturbing set of problems."

Dr. John Cline describes in Detoxify for Life, with the language of an in-the-trenches clinician, how to successfully assess and intervene to remove toxicants and their effects in the endeavor to restore balance. His story and the step-by-step description of the processes of detoxification provide a rich tapestry for consideration by both clinicians and patients."

This is a comprehensive, insightful, and easily understood discussion of the pervasive poisons which contaminate our food, water and air.
I am especially impressed by Dr. Cline's many case studies, which provide compelling and often moving examples of his main ideas. Anyone wanting to understand the harmful effects of environmental toxins on human health will find this book to be immensely informative and useful."

Dr. John Cline M.D. has done a masterful job of integrating the old naturopathic concept of detoxification with recent understandings of what those toxins are. John Cline has also done a great service by writing this book.
How do I know this? In 1999 I learned from a member of his clinic about the toxin he discusses in Chapter 6. With this priceless information I have since managed to cure hundreds of patients that had previously stumped me. It turned out that I also carried a considerable amount of this toxin and in removing it I reversed two problems of 20 years duration that I had thought were genetic.
Every person on the planet has been affected by one or more of the nine major toxins that he so clearly describes. Do yourself a favor and start detoxifying!"
