5.0 out of 5 stars Tox-Free Living, March 3, 2010

This review is from: Detox Diets For Dummies (Paperback)

If you are into healthy living then this book is for you. In addition to over 30 detoxification recipes it provides a whole array of additional information on keeping yourself healthy and clean of toxins. The author went even as far as suggesting ways for quitting smoking, losing weight and fighting allergies. It is indeed a very comprehensive guide to tox-free living. From eliminating common toxins from your body to maintaining healthy detoxification habits, the book has it almost all. I suggest combining it with another healthy living guide titled "Live 150 Years" with a few additional detoxification methods (kidneys, liver, joints and bones, etc) and even more comprehensive approach to tox-free, healthy, and long living.
