Product Description
You can?t afford not to fast?considering we live in a toxic world. Dr. Don Colbert, author of the bestsellers Toxic Relief and the Bible Cure series, provides a twenty-eight-day protocol for detoxifying the body of harmful toxins that is designed to restore you to health?body, mind, and spirit. Many have never fasted, but this book?s versatility allows for as little as a partial cleanse over a two- to three-day period, a two-week plan for providing liver support against the effects of toxins, or the total twenty-eight- day protocol to both support the liver and detoxify your body. Unlike other books on fasting, this book combines medical information and spiritual principles as Dr. Colbert offers a simplified plan in a short, succinct read.

this has some valuable information-but always consult your physician before fasting if you have medical conditions.

There are so many things wrong with this book, I don't even know where to start.
FIRST of all, the title of this book is VERY misleading because this book only lightly touches on fasting and the part that discusses cleansing is weak, at best, and only deals with the liver.
Secondly, this book reads more like a Bible advertisement than a how-to detox book. The author concentrates more on the spiritual/religious aspect of fasting than anything else, including the actual process of detoxing and fasting itself. Colbert does explain a little about the importance of liver detoxing and why that is the organ he has chosen to cleanse, but the pages are laden with passages from the Bible and exercises to bring you closer to God and your faith.
Thirdly, the plan he puts forth as one that will effectively cleanse the liver and prepare it and the rest of the body for a week long juice fast is severely lacking. It's nothing more than a diet of unprocessed foods and cutting out those that most commonly cause food allergies in people (corn, soy, wheat, etc.). He explains that the foods he instructs you to eat will put less of a toll on the liver because they are close to their natural state. He also advises on a small supplement regimen to compliment his liver "detox."
Lastly, but not leastly, he doesn't even offer any juicing recipes for the week that you're actually to undergo fasting. Nor does he offer any tips or hints on how to get through 7 days of not consuming any solid food, which I believe is essential in ANY book about fasting as most Americans, especially those new to fasting, are not at all familiar with withholding food from themselves. He doesn't even suggest the tapering off of foods before you begin the juice fast, which is an element almost every cleansing/fasting book touches upon.
The only reason I gave this book two stars is because the recipes he includes in the book (as those that the reader is to eat while detoxing the liver) are both healthy and full of variety. The recipes have something for everyone and cater to a large audience of tastes.
When all is said and done, though, this book was a huge letdown and not worth getting unless you're looking for a tutorial in Catholicism.

Great book. Very well-written. Even inspired my 18 year old son to get healthy. Very well packed and shipped.

It's always nice to get "healthy". This is a great plan if you eat all the time and know how to prepare lots of different types of food. However, if you are a small eater and don't know how to prepare food all you have left is the preachy part of the book. Not that that's bad... I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to change around their eating habits. I found it to be very helpful; except, that I couldn't eat all of the meals in a day and I didn't know how to prepare most of them. So I took from them what I could and found the Bible references helpful. It's a good how to book.
