It worked for me.

I wasn't really feeling a need for a full detox, my concern was my cholesterol. My doctor was referring me to a stroke and heart attack prevention clinic. I knew I had to do something and taking prescription medication (poison) was not a desirable "solution". I had previously heard of this book from a hiking friend who recommended it whole heartedly, so I figured it was worth a try. I did not do the fasting nor the hydro therepy (I think the Geneva conventions and ASPCA would frown on the latter). I did faithfully follow the diet plan. This included eating 100% vegan and consuming no coffee, black tea, chocolate or alchohol for 12 days. Since then I have included fish and lesser amounts of coffee and alchohol than I consumed in the past. The good news is my Dr. called today with my cholesterol results and CANCELLED my appointment with the stroke and heart attack clinic because the results were so profoundly improved! The book has sample meal plans and easy to follow recipes. The meals taste good and you don't go hungry (unless you do the two day fast). An added benefit was getting my weight down about 7 lbs (5%) and reducing my bmi a couple percent.

It's not easy - but it works!

The book was recommended to me by my yoga teacher and I have to say I had my reservations. I read the book once and then delved back into it as the science of it began to sink in and make sense to me. I was unsure about a two day fast, fearing I would faint away after the first missed meal. Not so! I didn't feel a single pang of hunger throughout. Having completed my week of de-tox successfully I feel great. I'm sleeping deeply and feel refreshed and rejuvenated upon waking in the morning. An added bonus of this whole de-tox week is that I've lost an inch around my hips and my waist! I would recommend this book to anyone seeking better all-round health and an understanding of how the digestive system works.

Buy me, Buy me.....

It all began when I entered a health food store a few days ago, and saw the 7-Day Detox Miracle book, staring at me with a look saying "buy me, buy me". I hesitated at first as I've bought many books on health, only to have them sit on my bookshelf and do nothing other than collect dust.I have suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for a while, and have tried many ways to boost my energy levels, (including buying endless amounts of health books), but to no avail. I reluctantly bought the 7-Day Detox Miracle, hoping it would not have to die a quick death, and join all its fellow health books on that dusty bookshelf. I started to read it the moment I arrived home, and amazingly finished reading it the same day. The information was of high quality and it kept me interested up until the last page. Once completing the self- health check-up, using the guidelines in the book I quickly found out that my habits needed to change. The following day I began the detox program and am currently on my third day.I initially thought that a two day liquid fast would be unbearable and impossible, but to my surprise it was easier than I thought.I am now drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily, and since I am on my third day that makes it 24 glasses - a lot more than I would have drunk in a fortnight - and yes - it's easy.Speaking of water, the hot and cold showers outlined in the book, have turned out to be my favourite. As I am a big fan of hotter than hot showers, I was dreading the moment the water temperature would have to willingly change to cold. The first day was a challenge, yet quite amusing hearing my boyfriend from the other room conduct a countdown after my five minutes of pure bliss hot water, to the dreaded cold. For the three days now, he has been kind enough to provide his ever so empathetic countdown, which allows me to laugh instead of focussing on the cold. It's amazing the amount of energy you obtain simply by alternating hot and cold water. The food guidelines are simple to follow. It wasn't until I sat down and organised my food plan for the week, when I suddenly realised the variety of dishes that can be created using vegetables and rice. I have found, even by following this simple plan for only three days so far, I am pleased to say that I feel more energetic, alert, vibrant and overall a great deal healthier.I highly recommend this book to all - especially my fellow skepticals out there who have a bookshelf just like mine.

Healthy and easy way to detox - finally!

After using primarily fasting as a way to detox in the past, this book provided me with a much easier way to detox by combining fasting, as well as a careful produce/rice diet to continue the detox process without fasting. I knew what to expect, and my cravings for 'bad' foods went away, and while I had some trouble finding "rice protein" I did fine with rice products, and didn't have any trouble sticking to the careful five day diet. This book made it easy to understand what is going to happen during the detoxing process, which I'd never clearly understood. There seems to be a lot of "extra" info in the book if you're interested, such as supplements, tests and details about each part of the body that absorbs toxins. Good to know in hindsight. I think I may continue living a detox lifestyle! It's worth it.

Well worth reading - even if you think you're feeling great.

Once I understood the principal behind the book, I skipped some of the research information and cut to the chase - the programme. After I'd been following the guidelines for a few days, I started feeling really good, and dipped back into the book to read the sections I'd missed. I wanted to know exactly what was happening to me. It's a week long programme, that you can follow every now and again to clean out your system. At the end of the seven days I felt calmer, clearer, lighter and bursting with energy. As well as dietary guidelines (and a two day lemon juice and water fast, not nearly as bad as it sounds!) there are suggestions for other activities to help the detox process. Nothing weird, just proven methods (bodybrushing, sweating, daily exercise and so on). I didn't feel like I was having to refer to it all the time to see what I should be doing or eating, it was really simple. The book is easy to read, not overwhelmingly technical and seems to work. I'd recommend it even if you think you feel healthy. After a week you might be pleasantly surprised.
