Great intro into fasting (Rating: 4 out of 5) This book really has some good info for people that are looking for the next step in juicing, fasting. Talks about the differences in REAL fasting and juice fasting, which the author feels a juice fast is really not a fast at all but a liquid diet. Fasting according to the author is consuming only water for a period of time. Still a good book for beginners.
Awesome Resource for Support! (Rating: 5 out of 5) This is tne most informative, well put together publication on Juice Fasting I've yet to see. It was a tremendous help to me on my most recent fast which lasted 12 days! I would recommend this thumbs up for anyone considering either a long term or a short term juice fast. Filled with all sorts of useful information on various situations one comes across while fasting. I've even stocked a bunch in my reception room (colon hydrotherapist) to sell to my clients!! One can sense the author has experienced first-hand all that he shares. Easy to read and understand. What are you waiting for? Order it now; you won't regret it!
Good book to know and start with (Rating: 4 out of 5) The books is a nutshell to know why is detoxification important for us. The author has given different types of fasting methods to help us in detoxify our body.
Some good information, the rest is garbage (Rating: 2 out of 5) I bought this book to better help me in managing my Crohn's disease during flare-ups. I pretty much bought the book based on the title and thought it would be helpful.
The author right off the bat says that if you are going to fast, you REALLY need to fast without ANY intake of food except water, but if you are going to juice fast, this is how you do it. He concentrated more on fasting than juice fasting, which seems to make this book title mis-leading.
He also goes as far as saying that self-purging (finger down the throat) may be required to purge the body of inpurities. Whoa, time out, that is a bit extreme.
I cannot give the book just one star, because there was some good information in there about fasting symptoms and other general tid-bits, but since this author has absolutely no credentials, I would seriously question anything he suggests to do.
Not a Receipe Book (Rating: 3 out of 5) This is an excellent resource on WHY fasting can be beneficial and how to best accomplish it - different types of fasing, the benefits and potential problems with each, and how to accomplish the fast. If, however, you're looking for a book with specific receipies to follow while on a juice fast, the book is light.
