The authors do an excellent job explaining what toxins are, where they come from, and what they do to the body. The case histories are great since they are so varied, they are bound to cover all readers. Unfortunately, I was affected by arsenic poisoning and can tell you that it is terrible. After taking the test, I know I need to detox by system. The authors recommend eating vegan but give suggestions for meat options.

In the past, I have done several cleanses and juice fasts. In fact, I did the “Master Cleanse” that they reference. Although I have food reactions, there are many recipes in this book that I can have. This book is an ideal detox book. It not only discusses eating but also stress and exercise.
