Previously published as "Natural Liver Therapy", Christopher Hobbs' Natural Therapy For Your Liver: Herbs And Other Natural Remedies For A Healthier Liver is the newly revised and expanded second edition of an invaluable informational resource offering a wealth of practical, "user friendly" information about liver functions, diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis in which the liver is impeded, and accessible, applicable advice for keeping one's liver healthy. Enhanced with information on liver detox, internal cleansing, and fasting, Natural Therapy For Your Liver excellent addition to personal and community library Personal Health and Alternative Medicine reference collections and reading lists.

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.

There are two books which everyone should buy and read. This book, 'Natural Therapy For Your Liver' and 'Cleanse And Purify Thyself' Cleanse & Purify Thyself, Book 1

Christopher Hobbs rules. I tried his cleansing fast and it made me feel better than I've ever been. Also, he communes with plants.

I wondered about this statement describing this book, so I decided to do some reserch: "As liver disease has skyrocketed to the fourth leading cause of death in the United States".

First off, from what I read, liver disease has actually fallen in the U.S. since 1960 (which makes sense, as we live healthier and drink less).

Also, here are the top 10 causes of death in the U.S.: 1. heart disease (by far the biggest one, and totally dwarfs liver disease), 2. cancer, 3. "cerebrovascular", 4. Lung diseases, 5. Injuries from accidents, 6. diabetes, 7. Flu, 8. Alzheimers, 9. Nephrosis, 10. Septicemia.

Nowhere is liver disease found in the top 10, and it is also not skyrocketing. In short, false alarm. Also note that there is some research showing that coffee is very protective of the liver. So if you are concerned about liver health (for example, from alcohol), just drink 3 to 4 cups of coffee a day (unless there is some medical reason for you not to, etc.).
