 A little disorganized October 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm actually beginning the detox in a few days. But I'm one of those people who likes to know exactly what they're in for. So I read the whole book at one go. The bit that baffled me is there was no clear section that said DO THIS during week 1 and THIS during week 2. Instead, there was a small section here that said DO THIS during week 1 and then a few pages later in a seemingly unrelated segment, more DO THIS during week 1. I would like to see any subsequent reprints of this book to group together all the phase detox DO THIS activities all together... As it is, I've had to create my own Word file that pulls pieces from multiple chapters to make sure I don't miss something Cook recommends during each phase of the detoxing. I spent enough on the book to feel like I shouldn't have to spend additional time on my own creating a template to follow to adhere to the plan. Additionally, weekly shopping lists would be helpful -- as would a a set of descriptors on various choices at the health food store (like do I buy apple pectin -- which I ultimately chose -- or grapefruit pectin for week 1 -- and why??)
All that said, the narrative makes sense and is easy to read. I agree with a previous reviewer about the lack of citing existing research to back up claims -- but then, we all know there is a shortage of research into the field of detox and even less into how natural foods and herbs heal. To me, this lack is not such an issue. While others may appreciate the organization efforts, it made no sense to me.
 Great information and easy detox plan July 8, 2008
This book offers a great way to detox and is filled with good and valuable information. The reason I like this plan the best is that it is based on a sound diet, eliminating bad foods or junk food and offers a detox with a combination of supplements and teas. It's a wonderful plan to do even if you are very busy. I was quite excited to blend my own herbal teas and they are fabulous and working. There is an expense involved in buying the supplements if you do not have them and the ingredients for the teas. Shop the internet for great prices and avoid the store. The only criticism I have is that the author did not recommend a parasite cleanse before the detox. She acknowledged toxins from parasites in the book and I was surprised she did not strongly recommend doing a parasite cleanse first. I started a parasite cleanse two weeks before the detox plan and carried it into the detox plan. The plan also allows you do be flexible and extend any of the phases that target specific areas. It's a great book. It's better to spend the money on preventive healthcare than medical bills!
A worthy investment April 11, 2008

Although I am already a vegetarian and use non toxic environmentally friendly cleaning products I found this a challenging detox program. I sought to clear up an unpleasant skin condition. I found the program challenging enough that I couldn't just jump right in and follow it 100%. Instead I gave up diet pop a month and a half before, I gave up OTC makeup two weeks before and I gave up coffee the first day. It's been a struggle to learn new habits. I even upgraded on Amazon and bought the online version so I could refresh my memory during my lunch at work. There is a lot to do. I, obviously, took it seriously. There wasn't a day that went by that I followed it perfectly. For instance, I would forget and eat wheat or have a small portion of cheese. Even so, by the second week I started to notice the plan working. It has definitely toned and tightened my entire body. I've noticed quite an improvement in my skin condition. The four weeks isn't enough for me, I plan on cycling back to week one and recleansing my organs and body. Like the author says, the damage we've done to our bodies didn't occur overnight, it takes awhile to clear them up. This diet plan has been tremendously beneficial to me.

This is one of my favorite books on health information. Its very knowledgable, well-organized, and easy to read and follow. I've already dappled with a raw food diet, so I'm familiar with detoxing, I already buy organic and will be soon starting this detox plan with Michelle's recommendations. I'll update this review to let people know how it went, but I'm very positive. I don't suffer from any serious illnesses or dieseases, I just want to improve my health, get more energy, etc.

I will keep this book as a reference guide forever. The title is misleading in a way because it is FULL of information that everyone should know about how your body works on all levels, in regards to food and nutrition. I have given it as gifts and recommended it to several friends and family members.
