Alan Bell was a star prosecutor for mob trials in Florida in the 80's. When he began getting severely ill many believed he was being poisoned by the mob. After hiring a private investigator, it turned out that that it was exposure to hidden toxic chemicals in his office building that was poisoning him and others. The toxic chemicals made him so sick that he was forced to spend nearly a decade living in a sterile “bubble” in the remote Arizona desert.
Then as his health improved, he teamed up with other lawyers (including those featured in the films Erin Brockovich and A Civil Action) to avenge hundreds of environmental victims in court. Bell discovered that his plight was just the tip of the iceberg. Our environment’s impact upon human health has truly become the Silent Epidemic of the 21st century. Millions of people get sick and die each year due to toxic chemical exposures—without knowing they're at risk. In fact, more people die from toxic exposure than all those affected by AIDS, war, auto accidents and crime combined.
His new book, POISONED: How a Crime-Busting Prosecutor Turned His Medical Mystery into a Crusade for Environmental Victims (Skyhorse Publishing; hardcover; April 4, 2017; 25.99), offers an aerial view of one of the most important global health issues of our time. Robert F Kennedy Jr. called the book: “a riveting memoir with serious health implications for us all”.
