The Detox Book: How to Detoxify Your Body to Improve Your Health, Stop Disease, and Reverse Aging, 2nd Edition
We live in a toxic world. Environmental pollution and disease-causing germs assault us continually day after day. Our food is nutrient deficient and our water supply dangerously contaminated. People today are exposed to chemicals in far greater concentrations than were previous generations. Diseases that were rare or unheard of a century ago are now raging upon us like a plague. Millions are dying from diseases that were virtually unknown in the past. Experts tell us that by the time we reach middle age, each one of us will have already been affected by either cancer, cardiovascular disease, or some other serious degenerative condition. Conventional medicine has no sure cure. Drugs, surgery, and radiation treatments can be as dangerous and debilitating as the diseases they attempt to cure. This book outlines the steps you need to take to thoroughly detoxify and cleanse your body from these disease-causing agents. You will also learn how to reduce your toxic exposure and how to strengthen your immune system.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great, easy to read, with a lot of useful information
I wanted to do a fast and looked at several books for fasting, but didn’t find any of them as useful as this book. The other chapters (healing process, kidney/colon/liver/mind cleansing) were excellent as well. Although I didn’t go on the authors proposed “natural foods diet”, this book made me realize how important it is to eat healthy. I have tried many of the methods in the book over the last 6-8 months and have never felt better.
5 Stars Excellent British book on detox
This was carried in a health store but I got it for less on Amazon. Very detailed and useful information. Although Brenda Watson’s books are more contemporary and recommend USA products, etc., this book is useful as it has ages old home methods of cleansing, some quite cheaper.
3 Stars unsuitable for people with weak adrenals
while i’m sure this author has the best intentions, he neglects to point out detox may not be for everyone, especially people with adrenal fatigue. ppl with adrenal fatigue need to maintain steady blood sugar levels, which means fasting is no good, and also detoxing itself can be taxing on the adrenals.
for myself, i followed his advice on the liver flush, and felt much worse after doing it. i had constipation, indigestion,and was very weak for a week or so. even now, indigestion is still bothering me. i think these problems were dormant, but once my adrenals were so weakened by the liver flush, they all exploded to the surface. i feel it is somewhat irresponsible for the author to make it as if detoxing is the way to good health for everyone. for some, they might have to build up their adrenals first.
4 Stars Very repetitive, very repetitive, very repetitive
This book has alot of great information in it which is why I gave it 4 stars. It lists out specifics such as which preservatives to stay away from and which foods to eat on a regular basis (Natural Foods diet). He even talks about the benefits of fasting and the juice diet which was all new to me and very interesting. My major complaint is that all of the main points are restated 4 or 5 times. It can get frustrating reading the same thing over and over. Then, some really interesting points (like the fact that cola soft drinks can deplete bone marrow) are understated and can be missed if you’re reading too fast. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to learn the basics about diet and detoxing though. It was an easy book to read and very helpful to a beginner like me.
5 Stars Awesome book….
I discovered this book about 12 years ago at my local library and decided to read it. It was time well spent. It gave me a better understanding of my body and how what we consume and our environment impacts us negatively. I tried the program and did the kidney, liver and colon cleanse. I was much satisfied with the results and just overall felt better. I plan to do it again soon. Definitely worth purchasing for your home library and as a tool to detox your body.
