 Toxic Relief
ASIN: 0884197603
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Deeply cleansing, spiritual fast
Comments: Your face will shine, your stomach will feel relaxed, and your arteries will thank you for the information in this delightful book! I have never doubted the benefits of fasting periodically and this book reminded me that when the going gets tough the tough start fasting! There are a million and one books on the market telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat it. This book doesn't do any of those things.

 The Master Cleanser
ASIN: 0963926209
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: The best "diet" I have ever been on!
Comments: This book was everything the author said it was. I started this cleansing process not knowing if I could do it. Ten days without food???! But the lemonade was great, very tasty, spicy! I love spicy foods so that was a plus for me. The laxative tea at night was already something that I did once in a while but I was a little skeptical about having this every night, but didn't have a problem with it.
Stanley Burroughs was right in saying that you would not have hunger pangs, that your addictions would disappear. I had a very "sweet tooth." If I saw a piece of danish, a dish of pudding, a piece of pie, I had to have it. I was exposed to much of this during my cleansing process and didn't once feel the urge to "have it." I have lost my "sweet tooth" cravings, and have not replaced it with other cravings. I am a week off the cleansing process and feel great, everyone remarks about how "skinny" I am. I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about cleaning out their body and getting healthy, plus lose a few pounds in the process. Excellent book!

 Your Liver Your Lifeline: Insights on Health Based on the Liver Triad of A. Stuart Wheelwright: Detoxification and Rejuvenation for the Whole Body VI
ASIN: 0929167066
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Book
Comments: I read this book and learned so much about the functioning of the Liver. It is essential to understand this organ. I am someone who suffers from (MCS) Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. I found this book very helpful, insightful and well written.
I learned things that are very beneficial in helping you on your path toward wellness. Also I learned that until certain things are done all the supplementation etc. that one may be doing...may not be doing them much good. In the long run it may be doing more harm.
For anyone suffering with MCS, Chronic Fatigue, Aids and AutoImmune type problems as well as the healthy individual, I think this book is very beneficial reading.

 The Detox Book: How to Detoxify Your Body to Improve Your Health, Stop Disease, and Reverse Aging, 2nd Edition
ASIN: 0941599329
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic book with one tiny exception...
Comments: The book is the best health book I've ever read. The tiny exception is, I showed it to my friend who's got a ph.D. in biochemistry. He read it and said "the book is right on, with the exception of "single organ" cleans (liver detox, etc.). His feeling is that you don't target organs with a detox, the entire system is affected (much the same way you can't "spot" remove fat!)
Highly recommended, regardless!

 7-Day Detox Miracle, Revised 2nd Edition: Revitalize Your Mind and Body with This Safe and Effective Life-Enhancing Program
ASIN: 0761530975
Customer's Rating: 3
Summary: If alternative's your thing--
Comments: The assumptions in this book come from alternative medicine--naturapathy, homeopathy, accupuncture. Nonetheless, the 5-10 pages of advice that most readers will be interested in may well be of benefit--certainly nothing here to harm, except possibly the pocketbook. The authors should know full well that most readers' physicians will not be keen on doing the hair analysis, parasite analysis, etc. that are the authors' "recommendations" for "functional" disorders. It just so happens that one of the authors offers these services via mail order, and the other offers consultations, vitamins, and directed detox regimens to readers who might have difficulty without the extra bit of help. Aside from these extras, the book costs too much as it is.

 Rejuvenate: A 21-Day Natural Detox Plan for Optimal Health
ASIN: 0895949385
Customer's Rating: 4
Summary: Complicated
Comments: This was the first detox book I have read.
It involves a lot of planning and preparing.
What I gained from the book: rediscovered taking baths, understanding how my colon should properly function (and how my protruding stomach was due to a bloated dysfunctional colon), some wonderful liquid concoctions and that my menstrual cycle is necessary for cleansing and how to help it along. I saved the activities for those weekends or nights when I didn't have responsibilities to deal with and my boyfriend in the house. They served as a nice treat.
The most visible improvement was my skin. About more than a year ago I started getting really bad acne again, since about 6 years ago. The Rejuvalac drink seemed to clear it up. In fact I stopped using it and the spots (which I believe were due to some bacterial imbalance) came back. I then started to drink it again and it's been about 3 months and still clear. You need to hold your nose when you drink it but it doesn't have a bad taste.
By the second week I unfortunately gave up. I work full time, go to school and the plan is just too complicated and time consuming for me right now. Its been about 4 months since I started it and I still try to do some of things suggested in the book though. I have gone back to some of my bad habits though.
The program is time consuming and somewhat expensive. The book does say that doing the entire program is somewhat impossible but the author wanted to give enough so that the individual readers can tailor/omit things. I live in hippie town San Francisco so finding the ingredients at my local organic, non-meat, bulk food, co-op health food store was easy enough (though time consuming and expensive). I can only assume it would be hard trying to find all of it if I didn't live in this diverse city though.
I gave the book 4 stars for the wealth of information the book provides. I give myself 1 star for not following thru. But I plan to revisit the book once (if) I get it back from my friend.
Once I finish school this next year I plan to see if I can do the entire program all the way through.

 The 7-Day Detox Miracle: Restore Your Mind and Body's Natural Vitality With This Safe and Effective Life-Enhancing Program
ASIN: 0761514228
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Finally curing some of my chronic health problems!
Comments: I have personally tried several "health books" in trying to relieve some long standing symptoms of fatique and joint pain, always unsuccessfully. I was intrigued by the concept of the 7-Day Detox Miracle - that of internally cleansing the cells of my body - it made sense that I really had to clean my body from the inside out in order to restore its normal and healthy function. Committed to finally making a change, I dove right in and followed the program - some diet modifications, changed my supplements (to emphasize detoxification) and sat through a couple of "hot" saunas. A week later I feel better - all my symptoms have not gone away. but I can tell I am finally on the right path. While the authors are obviously physicians who know their science, the material was presented in a way that I could understand and follow and most importantly, implement. I am confident that the material I am learning from the book will insure my ability to maintain optimal health in a logical and relatively easy manner. Thanks to the authors!

 Juice Fasting and Detoxification: Use the Healing Power of Fresh Juice to Feel Young and Look Great: The Fastest Way to Restore Your Health
ASIN: 1878736655
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: The Particulars of Fasting
Comments: This book is both informative, and an easy, pleasant read. In sharp contrast to several other books I've read, Meyerowitz doesn't force feed raw food diets or fasting down your throat with threats of disease and disaster. His approach is simple, direct and well-organized. The book begins with a discussion of what fasting is and why it can be beneficial and continues on to descriptions of how to begin, how long to continue and how to come off a fast. Other important sections include a systematic description of how the body detoxifies, what to expect as this occurs and what can be done to help the body during the cleansing process. All in all I found this to be a well-balanced and informative book that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who is new to the concept of water or juice fasting.

 Fasting-And Eating-For Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease
ASIN: 031218719X
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: The Single Best Book To Date on the Science of Fasting.
Comments: Fasting per say does nothing to the body. What a fast does is enable the human body to engage in "house-cleaning" in order to restore normality (to the best of the body's abilities).
Viz the Medical Journals there are over 500 studies on fasting, though much more research is needed. Dr Fuhrman mentions several of these on his website DrFuhrman.com and in his book.
If you undertake a fast for any period of time, I would talk to a doctor who is TRAINED in fasting, like Dr. Fuhrman, who has supervised 1000's of fasts. A physician who is not trained in fasting can be harmful since he is unable to differentiate between symptoms of a fast and symptoms of disease. An uneducated layman is even worse.
If you are looking for a step by stop program, then you will need Dr. Fuhrman's upcoming book, as the present book primarily focuses on principles, and the spectacular results achievable in reversing diseases such as uterine fibroids, lupus, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes (type II), and many, many others.
If you are skeptical I suggest you read this book and judge for yourself. You owe yourself that much. Let me end with a quote from Dr. Fuhrman's book:
After hearing about a natural food diet and therapeutic fasting, individuals may enthusiastically give it a try and get well. It is also possible that they may become excited about the sensibility of this approach and the prospect of finally recovering their health, but then go home to their friends and family and become discouraged after being told that they would be crazy for attempting such an "outrageous" treatment. They might have even called a few doctors they know only to be told that fasting is risky, dangerous and stupid.
It continually amazes me how "expert" opinions can be given on something with which someone has had no experience, knows nothing about, and has never read research on.
I once had an occasion to speak to one such well meaning physician who was furiously against fasting. I told him I had read, and was thoroughly familiar with over 500 medical journal articles on therapeutic fasting, that I had spent years collecting. I inquired as to which ones he was familiar with, which helped him reach his opinion. His answer was that he had not read one of them. He actually had zero knowledge about the subject and began to ask me questions. He was consumed with the same vague fears and questions the typical layman would have. Though still having doubts, after our conversation he admitted he gave his opinion too hastily, and had much more to learn.
