The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body's Natural Ability to Heal Itself
Alejandro Junger

A medical doctor tells how toxic chemicals and industrialized foods are harming our health and well-being, then gives a solution

The key to health: avoid toxic chemicals (not much guidance on this beyond recommending Debra's List), eat real foods, and help your body detox by healing your gut. And this last piece is really what the book is about: a well-thought-out 1-3 week cleansing program that will remove toxic build-up from your body. Though the liver prepares toxic chemicals for removal from the body, to actually be eliminated from the body, toxic chemical molecules need to travel through the gut. If material in your gut isn't moving well, toxic chemical removal is slowed. This book has a lot of good information on how to clean your digestive tract and rehabilitate proper function. I learned a few things myself, for example, you need to fast overnight for twelve hours in order for your body's detox function to kick in and function. That's twelve hours between the end of dinner and the beginning of breakfast. This book is a bit repetitive but gives sound advice. By the time I got to the end of reading this book I wanted to start the program immediately. It's easy to understand and do-able.

How toxic chemicals affect your health and how to remove them from your body

This title is alarming, but true to the book's content. Dr. Rogers clearly makes her point--toxic chemical exposures we encounter in everyday life can kill or disable our bodies. She cites hundreds of studies about the toxic effects of chemicals we commonly come in contact with, and then tells in great detail the difficulty our bodies have in processing these un-natural substances and what we can do to help our bodies detox. It's pretty technical, but easy to read.
