Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

According to naturopathic physician Bennett (coauthor, 7-Day Detox Miracle), regular detoxification is essential to health and healing. Although the body has powerful organs of detoxification (liver, lungs, kidneys, skin and intestines), Bennett and his colleagues say poor diet, stress, medications and exposure to pollution cause toxic overload. When toxins build up in the blood stream, the body becomes vulnerable to such problems as allergies, fatigue, mental lethargy and life-threatening diseases. Their plan to revitalize and heal includes a seven-day body cleansing; strategies for specific conditions; and steps for remaining toxin-free. They discuss how various methods can be safely and effectively applied, from basic self-care (exercise, meditation, diet, herbs, supplements, aromatherapy) to more intensive therapies (fasting, colonics, hydrotherapy, lymphatic drainage, ayurvedic medicine, etc.). Readers will discover which foods and exercises promote detoxification, how to create a home spa and how to select treatments for their needs. Those looking for quick and practical ways to lose weight, achieve emotional stability and increase energy will find the book's format, with problem-specific lists, simple recipes and photos of the exercises, helpful, while those who suffer from chronic conditions that resist mainstream treatment will find a variety of alternatives capably described.

I first took a hold of this book at the library because I was going through some major detoxifing symptoms. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down! It gives so much information about how to make your body healthy again without drugs, medication, or medicines! Home remedies, on inside and outside your body. Plus how to clean your house without chemicals, how to manage your garden without chemicals, everything you want to know and didn't! I just had to buy this book because I know that I would have to look things up daily, as this book is thick!
