Eliminate toxic chemicals from your home

The NEW Home Safe Home is the best, most complete book on identifying and eliminating household toxics yet. Learn where toxic chemicals may be lurking in your home and how to replace those products with safer ones. The easy-to-read format lets you find the products you are most concerned about quickly and easily.

Learn to choose products that are REALLY green

Really Green

If you want to buy green products, but are confused about what's really green...this simple guide is for you.

I am so excited about this book! I was inspired to write it when I looked around and saw that there is now a lot of talk about green, and products claiming to be green, but no real definition of green.

So I decided it was time to write a simple guide with the basics.

Find out how to replace sugar and artificial sweeteners with delicious natural sweeteners

When I was researching the new edition of my book Home Safe Home, I found that there are now many more natural sweeteners available than ever before, but not much information on how to use them. So I began researching and experimenting and now have a new collection of fabulous husband-tested-and-approved recipes using honey, barley malt syrup, brown rice syrup, stevia, agave nectar, maple syrup, xylitol, evaporated cane juice, and some natural sweeteners you've probably never heard of. I've got so much information on the dangers of sugar (and artificial sweeteners) and the benefits of natural sweeteners that I started a new website devoted just to sweeteners.

Recover from multiple chemical sensitivities

My interest in household toxics and the environment began over two decades ago when exposure to toxic chemicals in my home led to multiple chemical sensitivities. It was this illness that made me aware that there are toxic chemicals in our homes. Fortunately, I was able to recover. In this section, I've posted my response to my most frequently-asked question: "How did you recover from multiple chemical sensitivities?" I'm working on adding links and books on the subject, plus information on how chemicals affect the endocrine system, and detox programs that work.

At Home With Debra...How I Really Live is just what it's title describes. I'll take you inside my home and tell you how I live, what products I use, why I chose them and show you how I deal with all the little dilemmas of daily life we are all faced with when making decisions that favor health and the environment.
