Cedar Falls, IA (PRWEB) January 29, 2007 -- Plagued by years of unexplained ill health, Margaret Shontz changed the internal diet of her family, only to find new symptoms appearing soon after. Determined to discover the root cause of their recurrent problems, Shontz began researching possible household/environmental causes, and was overwhelmed by her findings. Improper electricity as well as other external stressors were indeed having a powerful ill affect on their bodies.

Now an author, speaker and consultant, Shontz is determined to inform the public about her story and independent research in her book "Is Your House Making You Overweight, Sick or Tired?" (ISBN 978-0972324373, Basic Truths Publishing). Shontz believes the major culprit in homes is improper electricity. "Most people trust that their electricity is wired correctly, but this is not necessarily the case," she explains. Observations of her body, as well as a $14 voltage detector confirmed what she felt.

She cites the twice-nominated Nobel Peace Prize Robert O. Becker's very precise research in his book "Cross Currents" where he states, ". . . with any level of voltage, the water within the tissues will be subjected to electrolysis, a process in which the water molecules are broken apart . . . this produces gases such as hydrogen, that are extremely toxic to cells . . . the onset of electrolysis . . . occurs at about 1.1 volts." Even at that very low level of voltage of 1.1 volts, there are indications of a very strong effect on the body.

In 2002, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) disclosed power frequency magnetic fields may be a human carcinogen. More recently, the Childhood Cancer Research Group at Oxford published a study that found higher rates of leukemia among children whose homes at birth were near major high voltage power lines, compared to those who lived further away.

According to Shontz, improper electricity isn't the only culprit, and adds "A corrosive rod in a new hot water heater, as well as salt in water softeners can have a major influence on health." Shontz feels that heart problems, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, swelling, arthritis, headaches, allergies, asthma, pneumonia, bone problems, Alzheimer's/memory problems, inability to think clearly, insomnia, hypoglycemia, hair loss, and many more symptoms can be linked to house problems. Considered by an M.D. to be "…fifty years ahead of her time," Shontz's book explains how to detect and fix over 125 household problem areas that may be negatively affecting one's health.

Margaret Rouse Shontz holds a B.A., M.A., and an Ed.S. from the University of Northern Iowa, and resides in Cedar Falls, IA, with her husband. Shontz has taught Business Education for the visually impaired, as well as a public high school, and a university. She is currently working on a second book. "Is Your House Making You Overweight, Sick or Tired?" (ISBN 978-0972324373, Basic Truths Publishing) can be purchased at online bookstores, or visit www.stressfreelivingatyourfingertips.com.
