The Breakthrough Cleansing Program to Rid Your Body of the Toxins That Make You Sick, Tired, and Bloated
A groundbreaking plan to cleanse your system and revitalize your health.
In light of the recent food scares (E. coli in spinach and salmonella in peanut butter) and the rising incidence in illness from smartbugs, parasites, yeast, and hidden food sensitivities, award-winning author and detox diet expert Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., explains why we must now more than ever Fortify, Flush, and Feed our bodies from within.
In The Gut Flush Plan, Gittleman outlines a comprehensive plan to heal our bodies, lower our risk of infection, and revitalize our health.
In no nonsense and informative chapters, she reveals: • what’s happening in your gut to create the internal • environment that allows toxins to thrive in the first Place • what to do about the deadly new infection that is antibiotic resistant and spreading in salons, schools, gyms, and hospitals • how gluten and high levels of fructose and lactose can add to bacterial and yeast imbalances in the gut, further impacting Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Most important: Gittleman spells out the Gut Flush program’s key principles in what she calls the 21-Day Gut Flush Plan, which includes simple recipes, nutritional information and a sidebar tip for each day. In The Gut Flush Plan, Gittleman will set you on a life-changing program to detoxify your body, energize your metabolism into action, and begin your journey to healthy living.

VISIONARY, HEALTH GURU, weight loss/detox expert, and natural foods icon, Ann Louise Gittleman has always been a trendsetter. Highly respected as a health pioneer and award-winning author of 30 books, she revolutionized weight loss in her New York Times bestseller The Fat Flush Plan - and now tackles the hazards of being bombarded 24/7 by electromagnetic pollution in her latest book Zapped. Ann Louise has been recognized as one of the top ten nutritionists in the country by Self and received the American Medical Writers Association award for excellence.
Always ahead of her time, Ann Louise set the pace for new health protocols in the 1990s with four more breakthrough books. She was the first to warn of the environmental hazards of parasites in her classic Guess What Came to Dinner? Parasites and Your Health. In Your Body Knows Best, Ann Louise was the first to discuss the blood type/weight theory and proclaim that one diet may not be right for every body − an idea that is only now becoming mainstream. She was the first to offer natural remedies for menopausal symptoms in Super Nutrition for Menopause and is widely credited as the first to popularize the term "perimenopause" in her New York Times bestseller, Before the Change.
Ann Louise forged new ways of thinking about obesity early on in her career. She was the first to proclaim that obesity was caused by the lack of dietary fats and the wrong kind of carbohydrates in her book Beyond Pritikin, published in 1988. In Beyond Pritikin, she predicted that the fat-free, carb-rich diet was creating weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue and diabetes.

Praise for Zapped:

"Zapped is an empowering guide that will help you transform your body and your home into a sanctuary of health and healing."
--John Gray, PhD, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
"The book caught my attention immediately because I've been reading about, studying, and writing about the effects of electropollution for several years. This book just adds further confirmation that we live in an 'electropolluted' world, and we need to protect ourselves the best we can... You can learn many, many more simple and more in-depth tips on how to protect yourself by reading Zapped."
--Susan Lark, MD, author of Hormone Revolution and editor of Women's Wellness Today
"You are being 'Zapped' whether you know it or not! When artificial and manmade frequencies from cellphones, wireless computers, and cordless phones constantly bombard your system, they alter the body's natural electromagnetic balance and affect DNA, organs, and glands. Packed with scientific backup, find out what you can do about electropollution--a public health concern more insidious than cigarettes, asbestos, and HRT combined. The life you save may be your own--and your loved ones."
--Hyla Cass, MD, author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health and former Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine
I have been a big ALG fan for a while, but this book takes it a little too far. A few things I noticed (I did not read from cover to cover)
--This book seems to almost require purchase of her products, which was not necessary to follow her plans in previous books. So I find that annoying. Buy my book and then my products.
--She is really moving to germaphobe land in my opinion. I can understand skipping the salad bar to avoid bacteria and stuff, but she seems to question having pets. She does not say get rid of your animals, restrict your contact, you get the idea. Really drifting toward living in a bubble.
I guess if you are really sick and not digesting food well this might be the book for you. But if you are just looking to feel and be more healthy and/or lose some weight, try the Fat Flush Plan and/or the Detox. I know when I do the original Fat Flush I feel great physically, emotionally, my skin clears, etc. However, this book just goes too far for my lifestyle to be actually doable.

As a long time "Fat Flusher" I always look forward to to Ann Louise Gittleman's new books. And Gut Flush is a winner! I really like the healthy, nutritious food in this plan. The recipes are easy and delicious! I have not missed NOT having foods with gluten as there are many OTHER delicious non gluten grains I can eat like quinoa, rice, millet and buckwheat. In fact by eliminating gluten and dairy my constant sinus congestion is GONE!
I highly recommend doing the stool test that Ann Louise recommends as it is a comprehensive test that will help you target exactly what colon corruptor track you will need to follow. Finding out that I have a yeast problem has helped me understand some of my symptoms like bloating, itchy skin, and sinus congestion. By following the protocols I have eliminated these problems altogether!
For those of you looking to 'get healthy' this is the program for you! Just by following the colon corruptor track that you have chosen you can eliminate yeast, parasites, super bugs and tame your food allergies!

I am more hopeful than ever for my long-term health after doing the Gut Flush program. I was very blessed to be a part of a focus group for this book, and I learned so much.
For various medical reasons, I have been on many, many rounds of antibiotics for the majority of my life. I had no idea that this had wreaked such havoc with my digestion as it has. I also never knew how deficient I was in HLC (stomach acid) and also digestive enzymes. Through Gut Flush, I have been able to pin point the problems I have with my digestion, and have implemented a workable strategy for life-long health.
This book is chock-full of great, usable information. The guidelines in the book are easy to follow. The recipes in the book are tasty. I am so grateful to have this book and such hope for my future health. I highly recommend it to anyone who has any variety of digestive problems, or to anyone who just wants to be healthier overall.
