“Randall Fitzgerald's book is a classic. Rather than 'better living through chemistry,' the book reveals how the totality of our environment, including water, processed food, and pharmaceuticals have become permeated with innumerable toxic synthetic chemicals. The scientific basis for these conclusions is well documented and impeccable. This information is presented in a highly readable and gripping style. The book should be on every concerned citizens' shelf.”

“This is a must read for anyone truly interested in a healthier life.”

As I began to notice how many people around me were coming down with diseases at earlier and earlier ages, I started asking questions and looking for meaningful patterns.
“Provocative and Frightening…Explodes Various Myths”
—Publishers Weekly
I was confronted by historical facts, scientific data and key findings about our food and medicine that, once taken together, told a story about how our lifestyle choices generation after generation have resulted in the highest health care costs in the world.
I began learning how chemically toxic we each have become, and how, as a result of the body burden of chemicals we are constantly absorbing, the reproductive future of our entire species is now imperiled.
Why are studies showing that 12% of American couples are unable to conceive?
Why are studies showing that the number of children being born with both male and female sex organs tripled in the last decade?
Why is the incidence of testicular cancer in 2000 four times higher than 1950?
Why are more and more men seeking breast-reduction surgery as a result of drinking tap water?
Why is the U.S. spending more than twice as much on health care than any other industrialized nation?
“You are poisoning yourself! Before you eat another bite of food... before you take another pill... you owe it to yourself (and those you love) to read this book!”
Battling terminal brain tumors and the breakdown of her body due to chronic disease, Bonnie Lovett stunned the National Institute of Health and experienced complete disease regression that left her with no physical deformities. Her secret? Acting on the knowledge that the Synthetics belief System was ruining her life.
What scared me most was the jolting discovery that our governments, our food and medicine manufacturers, even medical science itself cannot reliably tell us anymore what is safe. Nor can these institutions protect us from those dangers that have already been identified.
“Bravo! Randall Fitzgerald reveals the shocking truth about toxic chemicals in foods and drugs that few journalists would dare touch. If you want to know the straight truth about how food giants and pharmaceutical companies poison your children and destroy your health, read The Hundred-Year Lie.”

Did you know that there are over 100,000 chemicals in use today? Most of them have not been tested for toxicity in humans, either alone or in combination with other chemicals.
What's even more disturbing is that in order to test all existing chemicals for synergistic effects on human health, it would take nearly 200 million different experiments which, with current technology, would take up to 1,000 years to complete. Safety is a myth...one of many myths exposed in The Hundred-Year Lie.
The toxins genie is out of the bottle and none of us anywhere on the planet can escape its consequences. By living the way we live, and eating the food we eat and medicating ourselves the way we do, we have all become guinea pigs in a vast toxic chemical experiment that is altering what it means to be normal, even what it means to be human.
“In one of the book's most mesmerizing chapters, Fitzgerald crafts a painstaking, revealing time-line of our last century in which it becomes possible to fathom the causes and effects set into motion by the introduction of synthetic chemicals, drugs and food additives to our lives. It becomes virtually impossible to accept that the exponential rise in cancer, heart disease, birth defects and diabetes are wholly unrelated to these trends in our dietary habits and exposure to unregulated toxins in our food, water and environment.”
—Mike Crowley, Amazon.com review
Yes, I know these conclusions may sound overly harsh. Your first reaction may be to wonder whether I am exaggerating and spreading fear to sell books. I even went through my own dark night of denial. I kept asking myself, how can this possibly be true and if it's really true, why has no one spoken up about these corrupting patterns before?
Since I was already somebody else's guinea pig, I thought I would do an experiment of my own. I wanted to answer my most pressing question: Did I also have all these chemicals in my blood and stored in my fatty tissue? And if so, could I get rid of them?
“Fitzgerald culls interviews, research and years of data into a highly readable book - which makes for a frightening wake-up call about the harm we do to our bodies and our world. And if Fast Food Nation made you consider some serious lifestyle changes, The Hundred-Year Lie will inspire you to go 10 steps farther.”
—The Boston Herald
What I discovered was even more startling. Not only did I have a body burden of chemicals slowly poisoning me (take a look at my "before and after" test results), but when I went to the Hippocrates Health Institute to see whether I could eliminate them, I met a lot of people with very serious, often terminal diseases who were experiencing radical regeneration and a return to health by undergoing a fairly straightforward detox regimen.
The big discovery of this book is that people are achieving stunning levels of self-healing even when they are told by the Western medical establishment that it's impossible.
The Hundred-Year Lie is proof that the Synthetics Belief System is destroying your health. It is also proof that people are experiencing radical spontaneous regeneration of their immune systems using naturally occurring foods and medicines.
“The Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health, is one of those books that not only needs to be read by every thinking person in America, it also needs to be in the hands of political leaders and policymakers who have been controlled by the very industries that have created the massive health crisis Fitzgerald so clearly exposes.”

Learn the facts. Get the book. Tell your friends and family about naturally occurring health.
No one knows exactly how many synthetic chemicals have been unleashed on this planet. A generally accepted figure — necessarily an estimate — is that 100,000 are in use worldwide, with more than 1,000 new chemicals entering the marketplace every year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency keeps a list of about 85,000 in its registry and of these only a small fraction have ever been tested individually for their impact on the health of human beings. Many fewer still have been tested for their synergistic (multiple interaction) impacts on health.
“A scary thing when you see all the facts strung together…the Lie just pops out and you’ll never be able to see things in the same way again. The implications of the Synthetics Belief System are devastating and you’ll want to make some changes real fast.”
