Detoxification & Healing

Rating:
Summary: A bit of science and a lot of "I ran into" findings
Review: Although offering a perspective that is needed to challenge the traditional health practitioners, I think it goes too far. Too many personal viewpoints and comments about non-believers gives the book a lot of empty air if it is the Detoxification and Healing you bought it for. The findings are, however, interesting and if the book excluded the "I find" parts, leaving it to half the volume, it would be a good read. For those who want more scientific knowledge on detoxification, including a way to achieve it by a diet, I strongly recommend The 20-day rejuvenation diet program, by Bland. For those who are more interested in how these new ideas are challenged in the clinical community and an easier book to read, MacDonald could do.

Summary: Excellent
Review: The author backs up what he clearly states is his personal viewpoint with fascinating scientific information and clinical experience. The book gives understanding and guidance to people with often misunderstood chronic conditions. The author is a MD who has taught at Yale Medical School; therefore it may be good book to give to skeptical clinicians. In the forward Jeffrey Bland Ph.D. states that he considers Baker a "master teacher."
