In a nutshell: This is a very well-thought-out book. We've been eating processed foods for so long, it is nice to know there is something we can do to help reverse some of the damage they are doing! There is a very strong message throughout the book, encouraging the reader to eat better by including more vegetables and fiber, and reducing red meat, sugar and highly processed foods. The authors have addressed all the main toxic areas in the body, providing helpful information on detoxing and fasting in order to heal and cleanse the body to become healthier. Each chapter includes facts pertinent to the subject, as well as supportive instructions. For cleanses, they include a sample menu with references to recipes within the book. Overall, it is easy to find information using the Index or chapter headings if you don't want to read the whole book.
Extended Review: I was amazed to find a lot of information on Candida, a yeast-like health issue that one of my close relatives has suffered with for years. I immediately called my relative and read some of the book over the phone. She was so excited to hear what the book said, and can't wait to follow the cleansing suggestions to relieve the symptoms she has had for years! I can see how this book can be life-altering in a great and natural way!
Content: The content supports the book very nicely. It starts by talking about health, then explains the how's and why's of juicing, fasting and detoxing. The book then goes into the specifics of cleansing your colon, liver, gallbladder and kidney. It then progresses into more detox programs and cleansing yourself mentally and emotionally. In the final chapters the authors include information on the nutrient content in food, recipes to use while fasting and detoxing, and a nice resource guide.
Format: The chapters flow nicely, providing the reader with some great information. I was never confused while reading, but rather caught myself nodding several times in support of what was being explained. In addition to providing great information in each chapter, the authors have also provided some great guides on the nutrition of foods, recipes and resources as a wrap-up at the end of the book.
Readability: I found the book easy to read. The authors have presented factual and scientific information in a way that everyone can understand. The index is easy to use and helps the user find things quickly.
Overall: The book provides just about everything you need (except a juicer, vegetables/food, and supplements) to detox and cleanse your system in order to become healthier. I plan to try a lot of the cleanses and recipes in an effort to become healthier and more energetic!"
"This book is full of a bunch of completely unsubstantiated pseudo-scientific discussion about toxins, but it is motivating me to use my new juicer even though I know it is all lies."
"I never thought I could go without regular meals, but this was an easy and wonderful way to clarify the body and mind. It was easy to prepare the juices, overall the food was tasty, and I was NEVER hungry. Yes, and I lost about a pound a day - not to mention my skin is glowing and my mind has cleared. Will I juice again? You bet, this is an easy way to live a healthy lifestyle."
"Juicing can change your life- and compared to other juice/detox books I've come across, Cherie Calbom's is the most enjoyable and readable- from cover to cover. This book manages to give detailed information that really explains the scientific foundation and reasoning behind juice fasting, or just adding juicing to your lifestyle, in a fluid manner that solidifies the material in your mind. It makes sense.
The book includes easy-to-follow plans, with daily regiments for Colon Cleanse, Liver, Gallbladder and Kidney Detox. This was the first book I read on detoxing and juicing, and I haven't turned back since. My complexion, my outlook on life, my waistband- they've all changed for the better! Great solid foundation builder for good health."
