From AudioFile
Here is a well-documented audio on how to restore energy and resistance to illness by cleansing the body at the cellular level. If you're not careful, Dr. Colbert says, toxins can accumulate in the organs to the point that they cause serious damage to your immune capabilities. Pro-cessed food, animal fat, smoke, the chemicals in cleaners and pesticides--all can diminish your ability to stay healthy now and in the future. The enclosed booklets are excellent reference guides for implementing the program. The last section deals with how fasting and similar practices were used in biblical times. Though the author strays into religious proselytizing, it doesn't detract from the appeal and usefulness of his information and suggestions.

Fantastic book to help you jump start your health!
Did you know that your liver is the size of a football and weighs about 5 pounds? Me neither... Well, I do now. But believe me, there's a whole lot more information in this book that little tidbits like that (hehe). That "slim-fast" drink diet has nothing on a live juice fast! If you wanna do things right, get this book and do it right!

Your liver is the hardest working organ in the body and with our typical American lifestyle it is under enormous strain. It will blow your mind to discover just how much toxin the liver works to eliminate from the body and how critical the liver is to your quality of life and protecting against and fighting disease. Your liver does about 500 or more different processes, many of them at the same time. It works constantly, without rest to keep you alive and well.

Toxic Relief will make you want to eat right and make you afraid not to. You'll want to be a lot nicer to your liver after reading this book. The book takes you step by step through a process of liver detoxification (2 week program) and juice fasting (which follows the liver detox - actually the 2 week program is to jump start your liver so that you will gain the most effective results from the juice fast and eliminate, safely and effectively, the most toxins from your system as well reap the most healthful benefits of the juice).

Not only does Dr. Colbert tell you how to go about juice fasting, he tells you what kind of juicer you need, where to buy it and even how much to expect to spend. He lists the important vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs and other nutrients and foods that are most beneficial to liver detox and restoring health to the GI tract (your intestines and digestive system) and he tells you how much of each to take, when to take it, and how. He also lists and explains the foods that are harmful to your liver. The book also includes juicing recepies for each day during the fast (morning, mid-morning, afternoon and evening). There are six recipie veriations for six different types of drinks for each time of the day or you could apply a different drink for each day of the fast. The recepies are fantastic and enormously simple, but it's also fun to totally create your own concoctions. Dr. Colbert tells you what juices are most important, even for your particular blood type, and tells you specifically what juice should make up the bulk of each drink.

Dr. Colbert spends the majority of the book discussing the health benefits and healing qualities of juice fasting and liver detox, but also explains the spiritual benefits of fasting and gives some practical tips about how to approach a spiritual fast.

This was an excellent book! Not boring in the least and gives you real information that you can put to use right away. He's not trying to sell the reader on some product or multi-level marketing scheme. This is just good information on how to jump-start your immune system, increase energy, fight disease, look and feel great! Every person in America should read this book and follow its prescribed program. I bought a juicer right after reading it and am on the program now! WOW!!! That's all I can say. You're gonna feel amazing and you're gonna get a ton of those poisoness toxins cleaned out of your system! Get this book! You will not be disappointed, I promise!

Very Valuable Information
If you do not share Christian beliefs you will probably be offended by this book. Dr. Colbert clearly identifies himself as an evangelical Christian doctor. In fact, he is THE doctor to a lot of evangelical Christian evangelists. The latter part of the book is all about fasting based on Biblical principles.

According to the Bible, gluttony is the same as drunkeness, and people perish without knowledge. In other words, what you don't know can definitely hurt you. There may be not many drunk Christians but there are sure a lot of fat ones, and it isn't a good witness to the rest of the world if we are all fat and dying from illnesses that can be prevented with the right kind of information and discipline. We need to be incorporating sound knowlede to help us combat unhealthy habits and diseases.

I had tried the discipline part, it didn't work because I didn't have the valuable information that I needed. Our soils are depleted of a lot of nutrients and that is why we need a daily regimen of supplements. I love the book and have found MOST of his suggestions very helpful. I am a Christian who has struggled with weight issues for a long time, and I had been feeling really tired and down for the last couple of years. I had put on over thirty pounds over the last seven years and I didn't think the weight would ever come off. I tried exercise, extreme fad diets, drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water (in addition to about a liter of diet coke a day and coffee) and, I wasn't getting anywhere, and I felt the same as before I started, tired, sick, and hungry. I still had digestive problems, the same old cravings, and I couldn't seem to lose any weight, even when I was exercising regularly at least three times a week. I felt that my body just kept betraying me everytime I tried and I was really discouraged. Now I realize that part of my lack of success was due to toxicity in my body and high insulin levels as a result of the stuff I was eating and when I was eating it.

I found some practical answers for my own health and well-being in this book. He strongly suggests juicing which I have started doing. You don't have to spend some $400 on a Vitamix. I just got a juicer from my local Wal-Mart. My co-workers noticed immediately, I mean, within ONE week, that I had more energy, was more positive, and that my skin glowed. And that was just juicing once or twice a day, not the five times a day that he recommended when fasting. I wasn't ready to fast, so I started juicing breakfast, part of lunch, and made healthier suppers with more veggies and less animal protiens. Juicing does take a little preparation, but it is so worth it! It seemed cumbersome at first but now I'm used to it. And the recipes he lists taste so good, and it is so good to know that I am nourishing myself the right way.

I had to re read this book a couple of times to glean everything he mentioned regarding the supplements. And, those can be expensive (because there are so many) and difficult to find, when you live in an area without specialty health food stores. But I say, start with the ones you can find, get a pill box that divides the day into quarters, and separate them for a week at a time. I got myself a good pill box to arrange my supplements for the week, and although I can't possible buy all of them right now, the ones I do have I've been taking faithfully for about a month and a half, and I do notice that I no longer suffer from constipation, gas, nor bloating, and I've lost 8 pounds in three weeks. I used to just take a bunch of TUMS and suffer. And, my cravings have been reduced by about 50%. I have almost totally eliminated caffeine and I eat at least five to eight servings of fruit and veggies a day, based on the ones he suggests in his book.

I would also like to add that I used to have headaches a lot, and it would take about 3 extra strength tylenol tablets to "kill" them. After I tried the detox diet suggested in the book and used as many of the recommended supplements, I noticed within a month that my headaches had almost disappeared. I had one headache when I was premenstraul. I only had to take ONE tylenol to get rid of it compared to the three I used to take. And I am not a small person. So my own body is proof that a lot of what Dr. Colbert has presented in his book is true.
You don't have to follow Dr C's advice rigidly to have noticeable results. Get a juicer and make sure the water you use is filtered, and get some basic supplements and you can be well on your way to feeling better! I think the information on detoxification is very interesting and useful, and I feel that the information in the book has empowered me to make better choices for me and my family. I have learned to love vegetables and fruits, and my husband, who is a die-hard fast food/junk food junkie has started to eat what I eat and he doesn't complain when I serve up healthy meals.
