Silent Winter: Our Chemical World & Chronic Illness

Most of us are told that our health issues are a result of our lifestyle or genes. We rarely hear that chronic illness is on the rise as a result of toxic chemicals in consumer products and throughout our economy.

This is withheld from us through some stunningly elaborate efforts. The intent is to keep us in the dark so that things can continue business as usual. Industry does not want to change, so it is forcing us to change on an evolutionary level to deal with the onslaught of chemicals in our daily lives. When we can’t keep up and get ill, we are sold chemical solutions to make us feel better.

I am writing a book called Silent Winter about the silent spread of toxic chemicals in our daily lives and their impacts on our health. Silent Winter is also about the silencing of the problem on a societal level by manipulating what we know and silencing of solutions by suppressing innovation in the marketplace. It is further about the muting of millions of human lives as a result of chronic illness. Finally, it is about our way out of this mess.


Why Your Support is Important

This book aims to inform you, motivate you, and inspire you for change. You may laugh, you may cry, you may get angry, but I hope to leave you more confident and satisfied.


Not everyone will want you to read this book, however.

This book will have some uncomfortable information about synthetic chemicals used in our economy and their impact on the health of every individual on this planet--including you. Fundamentally the book will challenge us to change. There will likely be some deep resentment and resistance from the status quo; they may do what they can to keep this book from you.

Your support will help ensure that this book not only gets written, but published and disseminated widely. I need your support throughout this process--I am in it for the long haul and hope you will join me.


This book is the culmination of all of my career experience and possibly the most important thing I have ever done. I want it to change policy and the very heart of industry; inform your health; and catalyze a better world.

How Far Along Am I?

I have enough written to know that things are gelling very well! I am committed to shepherding this through with your support.

I Need True Community Support!

Whether you are healthy or ill, an individual or professional, please join my Silent Winter community. This book will ultimately benefit you. Contribute what feels right in order to make this work as successful as possible.

Thank you for being a part of it!!!

With much love,

Joanna
