The diet is complex, both in planning, bying ingredients, and cooking. It is a part-time job you commit to for three weeks. However, if you suffer from long-term bad health and fatigue and have been shoved throughout the system and back again, it is well worth trying out the diet and the recommended antioxidant supplements. It certainly helped me. The diet is only half the book, and I strongly recommend the research part to any health practitioner or therapist. It will bring convincing enlightment, without preaching any new age stuff, and give you a new view on what health is. The psychological aspect has made its way to the institutions in psychosomatic disorders, but detoxification remains and is as important to stressed out persons. How I wish I met a physicians who had applied to these findings when I was burned out, and gotten me off pain killers and towards recovery years ago...

The book sounds great and the ideas are sound. But the menu for the 20 days is presented prior to the informational chapters on how to tailor the program for your particular needs. There is no generic guide for the development of the meals -- you can sort of intuit the overall structure. This is a real problem for anyone who won't be staying at home for the full 20 days. The menus are complex for individuals on the go, and there are no suggestions for how to handle a business night out.

But the overall concept is valid and I am enjoying better health by following the main guidelines.

Ivan Illich, Austrian-born U.S. sociologist wrote: "Effective health care depends on self-care..."

The book "The 20-Day Rejuvenation Diet Program" by Jeffrey S. Bland educates you to take self-care in you eating. We consist of what we eat after all, right?

The major ideas on which this book is built are: plant foods and their constituents (phytonutrients) have helth-giving properties, diet and lifestyle can help reverse the aging process, and help overcome the effects of living in a toxic world. This book is about consuming raw legumes, vegetables and fruits, but it's not vegetarian - it contains lot of delicious recipes of meat, fish and so on. The book just explains how to balance the food to get enough phytonutrients and.

The major component of the Rejuvenation Program presented in this book is the 30-day Phytonutrient Diet with daily recipes and menu specifics. if you try to follow this diet specifically as it is written, without modification, you may find it too difficult, the recipes too time-consuming, and some ingredients hard to find in your area. Just feel free to modify this diet and make sure you do not go hungry.

The book contains fairy well explanation of the human body, the digestion process and the detoxifying properties of the liver, and how to help the liver and your entire organism to be healthier. Remember that the absence of disease does not guarantee the presence of health.

It analyzes which food is good and which is bad for the body. However, you should devise your own eating style, because each person is biochemically unique and this book acknowledge this.

Personally me find the recipes of this book extraordinarily delicious. I follow the recipes regularly.

I also recommend The Liver Cleansing Diet by Sandra Cabot in addition to this book.

There are many "antiaging" books around but this book I found to be one of the best. It is a good balance of recent science into what accelerates our aging process and what to do about it in a practical program of personalized nutrition. The book is very technical at times, but I found it fascinating to see how personalized diet and nutrient intervention can work at the physiological level to help improve health.

Finally a nutrition and health book that didn't seem to have an axe to grind. Rather I found Dr. Bland's book to have sensible, well balanced and science-based information that I can use to improve my health. I really liked the questionnaires in the book that helped me to personalize my own program from the information provided.

There are many books on nutrition, but I have found those of Dr.Bland to be some of the best researched and documented. I have followed his advice for the past fifteen years and have never felt better. I think that the 20 Day Rejunvenation Diet Program is a very helpful "how to" in assisting the reader in understanding how to improve their health using the latest in nutritional science.

I really liked this book. I read a lot of health books and this was one of the best in giving me thing to do to improve my health that really worked.

many people came to my orthomolecular-clinic just to rejuvenate because they feel weak and do have some mild allergy symptoms. this book is going to show you the reader a special diet that specificaly was chosen with a very selective nutritious-hypoallergenic foods that as it sounds,-was made to give you a boost/rejuvenation,while trying not to give you allergic foods that could offend your immune system. the strategy is explained in details,and a very important section on immune system mechanism in the liver is also explained in a very interesting/yet simple to understand,and a nutritional supplements along with it.the book is very unique at this topic and is understandable to anyone. i recommanded as a proffesional and as a book reader. dont mis this book,buy it today.

I found this book to provide a perspective on health and nutrition that I had not read before. Dr.Bland is clearly a very visionary thinker who has provided a nutrition program that can be personalized by the reader that helps the reader apply the latest in nutritional science. This is a thinking person's approach to healthy aging.

This is a well researched and referenced book that allows the reader to understand how nutrition relates to health and function based upon the latest scientific breakthroughs in the field. It applies these concepts in a very understandable program that really works in improving health and vitality. I recommend the book highly.
