This book changed my life. I read it almost 25 years ago - it is an easy read. I had always been slim (UK 8-10) and pretty athletic, so I ate what I liked. I would have a danish pastry, egg & bacon on bloomer and a mocha most mornings! And I was fine - I was young, after all! But then I started a new job that started at 7am and found that I was mentally dull until about 10am! I decided to try it because my friend had raved about it. The first week was tough! My gut was totally unstable - I didn’t go to work on day 5! But by the end of it, I had disciples! Skin was glowing a as soft as a baby’s! The best thing was waking up early with a clear head. No grogginess. Stomach was flat as a board, my body was super lean, I had developed new habits, like drinking 2L of clean fluids a day, eating much more raw foods, understanding how my body responded to certain foods and felt light as a feather. I kept a lot of good habits over the following 25 years that have served me very well. She made some changes for the 2nd edition but I didn’t ever use that one. I recommend this for the discipline and the discovery alone. I learned to cook better as I was more conscious of different herbs and spices and I was much more curious and experimental after this. I don’t think I have ever purchased a pack of Pringles since then! This book took me way ahead of the ‘Ultra Processed Food is bad’ curve! I generated my own data points 25 years ago.

Detox in this book is not only eat healthy food but also exercise, shower cold water, brushing your skin, relaxation, breathing, and say affirmative words 10 times a day. If we follow all of it, we can get healthy life.

If you have digestive issues, GET THIS BOOK NOW!! The diet is easy to follow and remember, so you can go back to it easily for minor detoxes as needed. And, doing this detox was the first step in finding out I have Celiacs after years of no help from doctors.

The book I read was in Bahasa. A really nice and doable, specially because it suggests you to eat lots of veggie, which I like. I haven't tried the body treatment part, however.
