In the distant future, it may be possible for those injured by environmental causes, to contact a national association for guidance to regain their health and put their lives back together again. In the meantime, we will have to depend on the kindness of those who are willing to share their experiences through books. The Sick House Survival Guide by Angela Hobbs is a new contribution in this vein and it is one of the smartest books on this topic I have had the pleasure to read.

A poignant account of her efforts to discover the causes of illnesses she suffered from because of her home environment. Electrosensitivity, to the degree Mrs. Hobbs exhibited it, is fortunately not common, but her accounts of the multitudes of potentially hazardous exposures we all encounter in our homes is accurate and well presented. The most impressive part of her story is how in the face of physicians and even family telling her to see a psychiatrist she persisted and systematically tested factors in her home environment until she found the things that made her ill. This book was a pleasure to read, and will provide hope and a guide for action for those persons who suffer from unusual sensitivities to various environmental factors.

Today, many medical practitioners recognise the causative role of environmental pollutants with a large number of diseases but have largely been at a loss as how to address the problem with their patients. Angela Hobbs' groundbreaking book not only clearly examines the extent of the problem but gives practical guidance on how to identify and eliminate environmental health hazards in the home. A must-have book for any medical practice as well as the homeowner.
