October 9, 1987 FOREWARD Dr. Sherry Rogers clearly demonstrates her dramatic recovery from devastating environmental sensitivities. In doing this, she conveys hope to many people who are wounded by toxic elements in their environment. Many of the people will be enlightened as to a clue for their diagnosis and — for others details of how to obtain and maintain good health will be achieved. Understanding the principles of evaluating cause and effect of environmental incitants appears to be essential in understanding how to prevent disease and promote optimum health. Dr. Rogers details her understanding of total pollutant load, the adaptation and bipolarity phenomenon and the biochemica—l individuality (our uniqueness of response) all of which are paramount to understanding environmentally triggered disease. The knowledge of where, how, and when we are exposed to toxic elements in our environment helps the reader relate to his/her own exposure and environmentally related problems. It is most important that each individual understands his surroundings and his reaction to them. The book should help the reader to better obtain optimal health. William J.
