Detox Yourself

Summary: Highly Recommended - Total Clean Out
Review: I decided to give the DETOX another go, after trying it for a maximum of 4 days about two years ago. I completed the 30 day detox about 3 weeks ago with the help of a colleague and it was the best feeling my body has ever experienced in a long time. I have totally given up smoking - a lot easier when on the detox programme as the cravings stop within the first week. I have also cut back on my consumption of meat and think twice about eating the wrong type of foods. I still have the cold showers in the mornings - a brilliant way to "wake up" and start every day with lemon and hot water. In fact, my other colleagues are going to do the detox next month - so not only does it show on the inside - it must also show on the outside! All I can say is "Give it a go" - you'll love the result!

Summary: Easy to Follow, A Little Simplistic
Review: I followed Jane Scrivner's detox program for one month last fall and was impressed with the results. I really did feel different by the end of the month. I would definitely do it again. The book was easy to understand and the program was easy to follow. The only thing that I did not like about this book was that it seemed to be written for morons. The book did not explain any of the basic science behind the program. It left me with lots of questions about why I was to eat certain foods and not others. I had to use other health manuals that I happened to already own to figure out why the author was suggesting certain things. I would have preferred to have more information directly in the book. The author seemed to assume that people reading the book would not understand simple nutritional information, so she did not even bother to explain it at all. I found that a little insulting. Also, I found the "testimonials" in the book a little unbelievable. They just seemed fictional.
If you can get past all that, you will find a detox program that will change your immediate health and hopefully help you develop better overall habbits for an improved lifestyle.

Summary: Cure for Yuppie Flu
Review: I was diagnosed with yuppie flu and was tired all day long, even though I tried to sleep at least 12 hours a day. Eventually I was booked off sick and slept for six weeks. Every Friday evening I had to go to hospital for injections. My muscles ached and got stiff, even though I didn't excercise, because my doctor advised me not to walk more than 500 kilometres a day. Eventually I was told that they could do nothing more for me and that the virus had to work itself out. Then I discovered this book. After six weeks I had lost 12lbs and slept only three hours a night, because I was bursting with energy. I was cured! Every now and then when I have a relapse, I go one the diet again for two weeks and I'm well again. This book is truly something you can't live without, well I can't.

Summary: Feeling brilliant
Review: My partner and myself are doing the programme and have less than a week left. So far I can see and feel a difference. I sleep better, can think clearly, am a lot fitter and feel better about life in general. I suffered from a lot of headaches for about 2 weeks at the start and felt tired for the first week but this was explained in the book. Then things just went from better to even better. We'll continue to do a lot of the things in the future, like cutting out caffeine completely, having hot water and lemon first thing in the morning, exercise each day. The detox programme also got me looking at what is actually in the foods we buy.
However, before you undertake the detox programme, I recommend that you do a bit of planning of what you will have to do and what you will have for meals for the first week, so that when you start the programme you will have the best chance of sticking to it.
