Now I have a lawn that needs your help! I never paid much attention to my lawn until it started to look bad and wouldn't grow as well as my neighbors lawn did. So I asked what they did and I went out and bought 40 lbs. of weed and feed stuff that I could find at my local nursery. Well, the stuff smelled awful! On the way home I nearly died! After reading the ingredients and talking with the local dept of agri agent as well as talking to my local garden center sales person, who all told me it was perfectly save to use. So I went a head and applied it to my lawn. A few things happened right after that.... 1....I became ill for about two weeks. Doctor said I had a mild case of a 24 hr flue. 2...My cats became ill and would not eat their food. This lasted for about 4 days. Then they were all right after that. 3...My children, especially my little girl, developed at first a nose drip then developed into a flu like symptoms. 4...My dog also refused to eat for about a few days then she would eat ok after that. After about 2 months after I applied the weed and feed, the symptoms disappeared. No one connected it to the weed and feed application. That's it until I applied the stuff again in another two months (the directions said to apply every 4 months). The same thing happened again only worse! My illness lasted several months and I still haven't fully recovered. My little girl was tested (they did a spinal tap) and was found not to have leukemia as they had suspected. They they don't know what what they main cause except they suspect it to be caused by some toxin in the environment (hint..weed and feed?) and my dog has died of some type of liver illness since the last application (my dog died within 24 hrs of my last application!).     I went to a famous doctor to test us out. He discovered that we were being attacked by several toxins in our environment and suggested that I get your book "Natural Pest Control" that it would help me to find natural alternatives to these chemicals.  I have also told him of the weed and feed applications (only after he had asked me about what chemicals I have been using in my home and garden). He found that I was also using some rather deadly combinations of home products.     I have since getting your book, stop applying any type of chemical in my home and garden. With your help my garden is green and safe and my family is enjoying good health as well! Yours Truly Silvia M New York NY
