This book has all you need to know about medicinal juicing in
a deceptively small and easy to read package. I used her
antibiotic juice in lieu of a prescription antibiotic and it
cleared everything up in just 2 days. All her recipes seem to be very effective. Highly recommended especially if you are just
starting out with juicing.

I am plagued with multiple chronic health issues and have been on a personal quest to improve my health. Over the years I had consumed numerous freshly made organic juices from various stores and felt a slight positive change in my health. However, it wasn't until I purchased this book and began weekly drinking two to four cups of juice combinations from within it that I began to feel the juices had made a tremendous positive change in my health. My first clue to the power of the recipes was the strong feelings of increased strength and well being that began twenty minutes after drinking a cup of juice. Over the next two months my acne completely disappeared, my face had more of a glow than an oily sheen, and my hair began to regain its luster. The changes were so apparent that numerous people remarked how healthy I looked. I can only imagine the health benefits it's had that are not so easily seen.

Today I had a hidden allergen in my lunch that left my intestines painfully inflamed. As soon as I could I referred to this book and juiced a recipe to soothe my symptoms. Much to my delight, it worked! I can see and feel the positive impact the juice is having on my recovery.

This book is helping me save my life!

I gave 4 and not 5 stars because the author did not enclose a recipe for hyperthyroidism and chose to focus on hypothyroidism only because "it's more common". Judging from the amount of text on the other condition, I beg to differ. However, anything with Brussel sprouts and broccoli will help manage a hyperthyroid condition.

Also some of the recipes reference vitamin mixtures sold exclusively by the author, who is Australian- so ordering may be a bit impractical for non-Australian readers. However, this book is a great reference on what juices are best for common conditions and even gives tips on which fruits and veggies complement each other on taste and which do not. All I need is a list of ingredients and I'm off to the market. The ingredient amounts also make enough juice for 3 servings a day- which is great because they recommend that the nutritional value of juices diminish after a few hours. By necessity, I make juice the night before for breakfast but the juice is still fresh.

Dr. Cabot gives a lot of great recipes that are "condition specific." Some of the ingredients are a little odd, but the end result was still good. She also tells you which ingredients won't mix well. It's good info for a newbie like me.

I love the recipes in this book. They are easy to make and they taste great.

You can create life saving juices according to the area of health concern. Definately a must have.

I bought this book, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I was hoping for explanations on what a certain fruit juice or vegetable juice has that makes it good for whatever ailment described, but I only saw a few of those in this book. Book is mostly juicing recipes without giving the reasoning behind the selection of vegetables or fruits for the condition they're supposed to help. I would've liked to see more in-depth explanations and also maybe some case studies of those who tried these juice recipes and were successful. I liked it, but didn't love it.

I bought the book two months ago and now juice everyday. I have seen a remarkable improvement in my skin (acne prone) and my energy. I have told all my friends about the virtues of juicing. I am a believer in the health benefits of juicing. I think that Dr. Cabot does a wonderful job of giving you recipes and a glossary of benefits of certain types of fruits and vegetables. Her book was well-thought and very easy to read.

If you get this book with Cabot's other book - The Liver Cleansing Diet, you can make a dramatic difference in your health, and lose some weight too. The diet (actually it is a way of life) is not nearly as complicated as it seems in her book. Do not eat sugar, any milk products, or junky, chemical food. That plus juicing (with a great juicer, like the Breville) makes this a healthy way to eat and live. I have an autoimmune disease, and this diet has made my liver numbers normal for over a year. Even my doctor - now - thinks it has been helping.

If you believe that food is your first and best medicine - then buy this book. I've been juicing fresh organic produce from my garden all summer, and I can honestly see an improvement in my health.
