I have had the privilege of working with John Banta for the past 15

years, and am delighted that his new book Mold Controlled is now

available. This will expand upon his previous book Prescriptions for

a Healthy House, and will be invaluable for those countless patients

and their families who are wrestling with mold toxicity. Mold

toxicity is not rare, but thought to impact 10 million Americans, and

those suffering with it are in desperate need for clear advice about

how to minimize their exposures at home and work so that they

can heal. In Mold Controlled, John has brought together a wealth of

information that will enable these patients to learn how to do this

properly. This is a "must read" for all who are struggling with mold

toxicity.

Body and The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide

I have no idea how you did it, and I'm stunned and happy to see you complete something so close to your heart. You've covered anything and everything professionals might encounter when it comes to buildings, moisture, mold, health, and the countless situations that arise.
