5.0 out of 5 stars If you do the cleanse, your life will change, November 14, 2005

This review is from: Cleanse & Purify Thyself. Book One: The Cleanse (Paperback)

I was reading one review where it is stated that the book sounds like an infomercial for his cleanse products. In some ways it did sound like he was trying to sell his products. But the book was absolutely fascinating. The success stories amazing, and if you have an interest in natural health and cleansing the body this book is an excellent read. I found his spiritual references quite enjoyable.
Now here is where the great part comes in... I decided okay, I am going to try buying his herbal products. You don't have to buy the big expensive cleanse kit, you can buy an item called chompers, and herbal nutrition and get psyllium and liquid bentonite at your local health food stores. It really isn't that costly. I have never done such an effective cleanse in my life. I am still doing it, the gentle phase, and it is unbelievable. I read about this awful mucoid plaque and I never though that I would be one to "clean out" that way. Believe me, this plaque is real! I won't get into details, but this has never happened on any of those other cleanses I have tried. His cleanse works if you do it. Just reading the book is interesting too, if you decide not to do the cleanse.I HIGHLY recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on the road to better health!, April 28, 2003

This review is from: Cleanse & Purify Thyself. Book One: The Cleanse (Paperback)

This book was lent to me, at a time when I am actively researching answers to optimal health. I gave this book a very good rating, even though there are few things I don't completely agree with. Since I am very open minded, I enjoy reading many books, and comparing to see which ones seem to make sense, and resonate with me.

I have long known about the perils of treating "symptoms" as though they were a disease. Dis-ease is the end result of a cause, and symptoms are nature's warning signs, much like the oil or engine light in a car. Does one unscrew the bulb because they are tired of looking at the light? Every cause has an effect, and many times the effect shows up many years later.

Based on what I know about Wellness, Dr. Anderson has done his homework. There is a great deal of critically important information here. The book is very frank, and is a "wake up" call to better health. Some parts will even bring a chuckle or two. It is not for the closed minded however, and/or, those who think there is nothing they can do about their challenges, and/or continue to rely on others to take control of [destroy?] their health. Is this book perfect? No, I don't believe any one source [human] can be perfect, as there are simply too many variables. The Creator is the only one who knows all.

The religious references offer an interesting perspective, and will prompt one to do some investigating. His views on meat eating vs vegetarianism will do the same. Personally, I know that being a strict vegetarian did not work for me. The best parts of the book are the lengthy chapters on how our body is designed to work, and how what we put into it affects that process.

In my opinion, if more people had a better understanding of basic anatomy, vs the desire to eat for taste, appearance, and advertised food trends, we would be empowered to make better decisions, and be in much better health. I intend to begin the cleanse on May 5, 2003, and I am looking forward to the results.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must-read for anyone interested in being healthy, March 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cleanse & Purify Thyself. Book One: The Cleanse (Paperback)

This book should be compulsory reading for everyone. It explains why we are unhealthy and how to overcome or prevent illness. It is a deep book but easy to read and is backed up throughout by research and facts. It is shocking, surprising, revealing and thought provoking. It should also be compulsory reading for all who practise medicine. It is also a terrific back-up for raw-food vegans but he does not push this, merely reccomends it. He has developed a system for cleansing which he speaks about in the book, so not only does he provide the answers for health but the means for achieving it. Perfect health and the perfect body is posible, if you want radiant health and happiness, forget nasty medical procedures, plastic surgery, liposuction etc, BUY THIS BOOK instead.
