This book is well written and easy to understand. It really explains how and why to detox. It actually has daily menu plans that you can actually use. No wierd foods or herbs just everyday food you can find at your local grocer or farmers market. I have read many books on detox and this is by far the best I have read. I finally can start detox rather than just reading about it. Thank you Dr Haas, BRILLIANT

I bought this book along with the 21 day detox by Roni DeLuz. Both methods work, Dr. Roni's gets the most weight loss, but I think Dr. Haas's book is more comprehensive. It gives information on total body detox, and also provides specific detoxes for those who want to focus on a particular substance (alcohol, sugar and caffeine are examples). I find the food combining priciples and the recipes easier to adopt. I would recommend it - its a good reference and instruction manual for detox and clean, healthy eating.

A clear and practical guide to detoxification that uses everyday ingredients and helps you feel great.

Used judiciously, "The New Detox Diet" is of great help if you would like to rid yourself of bad nutritional habits. The title diet is meant to be used primarily as a temporary cleanse. It involves eating primarily fresh vegetables, a little fresh fruit, a little whole grains, and a little protein (beans, fish, or chicken). There are additional chapters on juice cleanses, elimination diets for the identification of food sensitivities, a modified version of the Detox Diet for longer term use, and recipes. I had gotten into a rut of eating large amounts of bread and cheese and drinking several glasses of wine each night, so I did the Detox Diet for 10 days. I find I have minimal cravings for sugar and alcohol now, and although I still love bread and cheese I do a better job with portion control. A word of warning: The chapter on the basic Detox Diet provides diet rules and also a sample menu. I found that if I followed the sample menu strictly, I wasn't getting enough calories and I was quite weak. So be careful to include some higher calorie vegetables (potatoes, avocados, etc.) and/or follow the recommendations for calorie supplementation.

This book is different from what I expected when ordering it from the library, in that it does not just deal with general detoxification. There are chapters on sugar, drug, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine detoxification, and a final chapter on fasting.

Included are lists of the nutrients required for the various detox programmes.

If I didn't find much new information, this is because I'd read a lot about the subject beforehand,

This is a sensible and adequate book comprising all the basic and necessary information on the subject.

This book contains simple information for the lay person. Much of the information is straight forward making it an easy introduction into detoxing. Some things such as supplements and herbs I had to look up but this has been a very informative process. One issue I had with this book, which can be both a pro and a con, is that it gives many permutations of mixing and matching your own plan. This is great if you already know what might work for you or not so great if you want something a bit more concrete. This book has lost a star for being 'fluffy' and repeating information in various guises throughout the book. I realise that it is dificult to be firm on what is an alternative approach to health but the information could be significantly condensed. Overall however the use of this book has been a very healthy education.

This book provides a wealth of great information on how and why to detox while keeping it simple. I felt like I was encouraged to make my own educated choices about how to cleanse rather than being told to follow someone's strict prescription. I like the recommendations for easing your way into a program that works for you while slowly building healthier dietary habits. I have read a few books on detox and this is the one I come back to every time.

This book is excellent, an easy enough read and highly recommended. Try the detox diet, you'll feel fantastic after only two days.

This book gives a great deal of very helpful information especially for someone new to the idea of detoxing. I also like the fact that it addresses detoxing for several reasons: Sugar, nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, and drugs. However, detoxing from everyday living and the SAD (Standard American Diet) are important, as well. It is a good refresher for someone with a basic knowledge of detoxing, and good for beginners. However, it leaves out some important information and discounts things like a gallbladder flush, which I have personally found helpful.

Good information and clearly mapped out. Knowledgable commentary and practical applications.
