Poisoned

How a Crime-Busting Prosecutor Turned His Medical Mystery into a Crusade for Environmental Victims

De: Alan Bell

Narrado por: Allan Robertson

After years of prosecuting hard-core criminals, rising legal star Alan Bell took a private sector job in South Florida's newest skyscraper. Suddenly, he suffered such bizarre medical symptoms, doctors suspected he'd been poisoned by the Mafia. Bell's rapidly declining health forced him to flee his glamorous Miami life to a sterile "bubble" in the remote Arizona desert.

As his career and marriage dissolved, Bell pursued medical treatments in a race against time, hoping to stay alive and raise his young daughter, his one desperate reason to keep going. He eventually discovered he wasn't poisoned by a criminal, but by his office building. His search for a cure led him to discover the horrifying truth: his tragedy was just the tip of the iceberg. Millions of people fall ill and die each year because of toxic chemical exposures - without knowing they're at risk.

Stunned by what he discovered, Bell chose to fight back, turning his plight into an opportunity. Despite his precarious health, he began collaborating with scientists dedicated to raising awareness about this issue. Soon, he also found himself drawn back into the legal field, teaming up with top lawyers fighting for those who had already fallen ill.

Both a riveting medical mystery and a cautionary tale, this book puts a human face on the hidden truths behind toxic dangers assaulting us in our everyday environments - and offers practical ways to protect ourselves and our children.

Any additional comments?

This is a must read for all clinicians and highly recommended for laypersons who know some one or are themselves suffering with multiple chemical sensitivity. This is a very real and quality of life (if not life itself) robbing condition which can be prevented if you are informed.

very fascinating personal story

from the beginning to the end an interesting view of 'weak constitution' that we always labeled people. it is heart wrenching and fascinating as it dispels the myth that people feign sickness. thanks, Alan.

For Real

This is a for real accounting of what can happen and how the body can go haywire from all the crap and toxicities in our little world. There is no doubt that this fellow has actually lived it.

The best documentary that I have ever read!

I was riveted by the true story and the message. We need to protect ourselves from our environment because the government won't and neither will anyone else who has bought into the propaganda that just because a product is on the store shelf, it's relatively safe. Think again! Alan Bell is my hero for advocating for those without money and power, thus without a voice to influence change. I never knew that there were so many toxins potentially poisoning us everyday such as mattresses, clothing treated with flame retardants, and pressed wood furniture. This book has inspired me to live more healthily tossing all of the. chemical cleaning products that I have and replace them with organic ones. I have taught for 25 years and am. positive the environmental factors have contributed to the rise of autism and ADHD.

Life altering story

This story reminds us that living the American Dream is meaningless if you don't have your health and your family. This is one man's incredible journey. When things were hopeless he fought to stay alive, fight for the lives of others and leave this planet better than he found it. Inspiring, informative and touching.
