Dr. Neil Nathan introduces fresh insights, updated information, and vital medical breakthroughs in this second edition of his bestselling book.
Millions of people are suffering from chronic illnesses that, unbeknownst to them, are the result of exposure to environmental toxins and infectious agents such as mold and Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease. Millions. Because the symptoms of these illnesses are so varied and unusual, many of these individuals have sought medical care only to be dismissed, as if what they are experiencing is "in their head." Many (if not most) have tried to tough it out and continue to function without hope of improvement. Unfortunately, their illnesses are very real.
The new edition of Toxic offers renewed hope for patients, their loved ones, and the physicians who care for them. Dr. Neil Nathan delves deeper into the harmful impact of chronic inflammation in driving disease and presents the latest information that can help both doctors and patients achieve faster and more complete healing. He has also expanded the chapter on mold toxicity, as it is increasingly recognized as a leading cause of complex illnesses.
Drawing on decades of experience helping thousands of patients regain their health, even when other doctors had lost hope, Dr. Nathan continues to refine his understanding of the common causes of debilitating illnesses, leading to more precise and effective treatments. This updated edition sheds even more light on these complex conditions, offering patients and their families the crucial support they need.
Key updates include:
· The latest testing and treatments in every chapter
· Major medical breakthroughs in the identification and treatment of Lyme disease
· An expanded section on the diagnosis and treatment of mold toxicity
· A dedicated chapter on COVID-19
· A comprehensive chapter on the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
· A full chapter on new discoveries related to environmental toxins
Readers will have access to the comprehensive range of topics explored in the original edition, including:
· Information about how extreme sensitivity and toxicity develop in the body, how sensitivity and toxicity differ, and how they often overlap
· Detailed descriptions of each of the five major causes of extreme sensitivity and toxicity: mold, Bartonella (a co-infection of Lyme disease), mast cell activation, porphyria, and carbon monoxide poisoning
· An outline of the cell danger response, a revolutionary model developed by Dr. Robert Naviaux that explains how the body essentially gets "stuck" fighting a threat even after the danger has passed
· A system-by-system plan for "rebooting" the body to break the cycle of illness and allow healing to begin
· Information about coping with stress and embracing an emotional and/or spiritual awakening on the path to wellness

Neil Nathan, MD, has been practicing medicine for over 50 years, has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management, and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and of the International Society of Environmentally Acquired Illness. He has written several books, including Healing is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses and On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks. He has hosted an internationally syndicated radio program/podcast on Voice America called The Cutting Edge of Health and Wellness Today.
Dr. Nathan has worked to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness and lectures internationally on this subject. These efforts led to the publication of his ebook, Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment in 2016 (now updated to 2022), and then to his bestselling book Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness.
Winter of 2021 saw the publication of Energetic Diagnosis, a discussion of the value of intuition and energetic devices as aids to both the diagnosis and treatment of medical illness. His newest book, The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide, was released in January 2024.
Dr. Nathan has treated chronic complex medical illnesses for 30 years and Lyme disease for the past 20 years. As his practice has evolved, he has found himself increasingly treating the patients who have become so sensitive and toxic that they can no longer tolerate their usual treatments, and his major current interest is in finding unique ways of helping them recover.
Dr. Nathan can be contacted most easily via his website, www.neilnathanmd.com, through which consultations are available. He is currently providing mentorship in the treatment of chronic inflammatory illness to approximately 200 physicians, with Jill Crista, ND; those interested in mentorship may use the website to register.
