I read this book and learned so much about the functioning of the Liver. It is essential to understand this organ. I am someone who suffers from (MCS) Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. I found this book very helpful, insightful and well written.

I learned things that are very beneficial in helping you on your path toward wellness. Also I learned that until certain things are done all the supplementation etc. that one may be doing...may not be doing them much good. In the long run it may be doing more harm.

For anyone suffering with MCS, Chronic Fatigue, Aids and AutoImmune type problems as well as the healthy individual, I think this book is very beneficial reading.

I was expecting more out of this book than I found because a previous reviewer rated it highly. Part of it was a sales pitch for certain herbal remedies but the author does not list what is in them -- not very helpful for those of us who don't tolerate certain herbs. Still, there was useful introductory information on herbs. Tips stresses that medicinal herbs are meant to be taken on a temporary basis, not indefinitely.

He also stresses the importance of the liver and how complex its workings are. He presents advice on health, some of it sensible and some of it unconvincing. If you are looking for information on herbs and detoxification, this book can be informative, but take it with a grain of salt.

An endless marketing of Dr. Jack Tips other books on nutrition etc. Unfortunately it doesn't provide any useful information on how to cleanse the liver, except that you can visit certain practitioners that may provide a certain brand of a liver cleanse formula. As opposed to Max Gerson, Dr. Jack Tips states that coffee enema liver cleanse is not good for you. He doesn't tell why, and the statement is not supported by any studies.

To sum it up: forget about the book and by yourself some milk thistle extract.

What an amazing book! Your liver is your lifeline. I learned so much about the function and importance of my liver in this book. I did the recommended program with my mom and it is a book I will always keep on my bookshelf. Very good information!
