5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best cleansing books ever done., September 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cleanse & Purify Thyself (Paperback)

I was sceptical at first, but I found this cleanse to be highly effective. I and 12 of my girl friends {also my husband) had similar results. I lost 14 pounds of compacted mucous and toxic debris in 10 days of cleansing. My husband was even more apprehensive than I, but after doing the cleanse he experienced multiple benefits (libido, sperm count etc.) I'm in the body therapy business and this is the best of several i've tried. I recomend it to the old the infirm and the hopless as well as all you young folks out there. If you truly want to clean your small as well as large intestine and eliminate the hordes of parasites that live in our bowels and wreck havoc in our bodies, this is it!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you do the cleanse, your life will change, November 14, 2005

By	Sarah Luciani (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

I was reading one review where it is stated that the book sounds like an infomercial for his cleanse products. In some ways it did sound like he was trying to sell his products. But the book was absolutely fascinating. The success stories amazing, and if you have an interest in natural health and cleansing the body this book is an excellent read. I found his spiritual references quite enjoyable.
Now here is where the great part comes in... I decided okay, I am going to try buying his herbal products. You don't have to buy the big expensive cleanse kit, you can buy an item called chompers, and herbal nutrition and get psyllium and liquid bentonite at your local health food stores. It really isn't that costly. I have never done such an effective cleanse in my life. I am still doing it, the gentle phase, and it is unbelievable. I read about this awful mucoid plaque and I never though that I would be one to "clean out" that way. Believe me, this plaque is real! I won't get into details, but this has never happened on any of those other cleanses I have tried. His cleanse works if you do it. Just reading the book is interesting too, if you decide not to do the cleanse.I HIGHLY recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on the road to better health!, April 28, 2003

By	Rhonald A. Jackson (Washington, DC (USA)) - See all my reviews

This book was lent to me, at a time when I am actively researching answers to optimal health. I gave this book a very good rating, even though there are few things I don't completely agree with. Since I am very open minded, I enjoy reading many books, and comparing to see which ones seem to make sense, and resonate with me.

I have long known about the perils of treating "symptoms" as though they were a disease. Dis-ease is the end result of a cause, and symptoms are nature's warning signs, much like the oil or engine light in a car. Does one unscrew the bulb because they are tired of looking at the light? Every cause has an effect, and many times the effect shows up many years later.

Based on what I know about Wellness, Dr. Anderson has done his homework. There is a great deal of critically important information here. The book is very frank, and is a "wake up" call to better health. Some parts will even bring a chuckle or two. It is not for the closed minded however, and/or, those who think there is nothing they can do about their challenges, and/or continue to rely on others to take control of [destroy?] their health. Is this book perfect? No, I don't believe any one source [human] can be perfect, as there are simply too many variables. The Creator is the only one who knows all.

The religious references offer an interesting perspective, and will prompt one to do some investigating. His views on meat eating vs vegetarianism will do the same. Personally, I know that being a strict vegetarian did not work for me. The best parts of the book are the lengthy chapters on how our body is designed to work, and how what we put into it affects that process.

In my opinion, if more people had a better understanding of basic anatomy, vs the desire to eat for taste, appearance, and advertised food trends, we would be empowered to make better decisions, and be in much better health. I intend to begin the cleanse on May 5, 2003, and I am looking forward to the results.
