Debra Lynn Dadd

Debra, called "The godmother of natural living" by New Age Journal, works as a consumer advocate, author, and consultant has been a leading influence on the natural products market--to consumers, marketers, and manufacturers--for more than a decade. Many refer to her well-researched consumer guidebooks as their "bibles."

In 1989, Debra was named a "leading thinker" in the book Meetings with Remarkable Men and Women, published by East West Health Books (now Natural Health magazine). Debra's research on the environmental effects of consumer products has gained international notoriety, landing her appearances on radio talk shows and national television for speaking engagements.

Her most recent book, Home Safe Home, contains new material on household toxics and safe alternatives, including a new chapter on building and remodeling materials. This book has regularly ranked in the top 10 percent for sales on amazon.com. In addition, Debra has been writing for Natural Home Magazine since its first issue, answering readers' questions in their "Eco Experts" column.
