Most Helpful Customer Reviews 41 of 43 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and it works !!!, August 30, 2001 By  B. Levine (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    Amazon Verified Purchase This book is designed to be read by a person with no medical or scientific background. It educates you about your digestive system is supposed to work, what can go wrong, what you can do about it, both preventive and if you are already ill. I have followed what I thought was a healthy diet for years, and some advice from this book, and motivation of understanding why, allowed me to fine tune, and start losing weight and feeling healthier already. She does sell lots of other things, and she is more an marketer than a doctor, but her information is basic enough that her scientific knowledge is more than the average person needs to know. I read another book on the Liver by Melissa Palmer, and it talked down to the average person, and was a bit stiffer of a read. Dr Cabot truly caters to the public, and I highly recommend this book. 40 of 42 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Informative Reading for those interested in total Health, January 16, 2000 By A Customer For everyone who is interested in total health, this book is excellent reading on the topics of the digestive/elimination system. The Author is well known for her health related books, and this is also well researched and written. Following some of the suggestions yields quick results (days). Many ailments dissapear, many others improve rapidly. An outstanding read .... 30 of 31 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars Not good for people with digestive troubles!, July 8, 2006 By  S. Emch (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: The Healthy Liver & Bowel Book (Paperback) Unless your diet is presently terrible, this book probably won't help you if you have candida, celiac disease, crohn's, ulcerative colitis, IBD, or IBS. Cabot limits meats and encourages non-gluten grains. Those of us with many kinds of digestive disorders cannot digest starches and disacharides (double sugars). I followed the Liver Cleansing Diet strictly for three weeks, but the inclusion of grains, sweet potatoes, corn, and soy made my symptoms worse than they had been before I started her diet. My bloating became so bad on this diet that I looked six months pregnant and getting worse. I eliminated soy and corn but to no avail. I then switched to Elaine Gottshall's Carbohydrate Specific Diet (Breaking the Vicious Cycle) and started feeling better within two days. My belly is board flat now, my skin looks better, my mood is good, and digestion feels so much better - after only one week! I wish I had found Gottshall years ago. I gave the Healthy Liver and Bowel book (and the Liver Cleansing Diet) three stars because the information about the liver was well documented and important to learn. The caveat here regards impaired digestion; as long as our intestines are not functioning properly we cannot absorb the nutrients our liver needs. People with digestive disorders need a dramatically different approach. I think Cabot is a good doctor and writer, but maybe needs to broaden her horizons. Excellent liver health CAN change our lives, but until my intestines heal, my liver starves.
