I went into this book with high hopes but they quickly disintegrated as I realized it was chock-full of half-baked pseudoscience. It seems like the original science is believable but what has been built on top of it is ridiculous, the blind efforts of a group of people who take a single study and treat it like gospel, instead of taking a healthy scientific and skeptic approach. The greatest evidence of this is in the fact that one of the core tenants is to juice your fruits and vegetables in order to remove the fiber (and who knows how many other micronutrients that are attached to it) but then to engage in weekly (or more often!) enemas to cleanse your system. I am only an armchair nutritionist, but even I can see the irony in these actions. How about keeping that fiber intact, and eating it, so that you don't need to enema at all??? There were a few diamonds in the rough, mostly in the recipes section. The apple crumble and banana nice cream recipes seemed the best ones; very easy and yummy looking. But they were peppered with nonsense talk about flushing cellular toxins or cleansing your organs. And detoxifying the liver? Detoxifying is literally the liver's job! Ridiculous. Anyway, I am sad to say I cannot award this book a single star, despite the goal setting section actually having a few nuggets that I felt 100% on board with and the nice glossary of resources at the end, including plenty of documentaries, books, doctors, etc. that I do truly believe in. The few good aspects only make me more sorry that I cannot recommend this book to anyone.
