Not my thing!!! Way to much cleanse and flushing for normal people. This might work for someone that was brought up to not trust the intellegance of a good specialist. Some of these things will do more harm than good, and to start with fixing your ONLY liver, is not the place to be in.

I have something of an interest in herbalism but I am not inclined to take everything this author says at face value. He outlines some medical concepts in juxtaposition with principles of traditional Chinese medicine and western herbalism as though there was an connection. However, I do not actually see any connection identified or explained other than by the physical proximity on the page. I am looking forward to trying some of the concoctions and blends listed in the pages but I am going to draw my own conclusions and read some more from other studies rather than rely on the assertions in this book.
