Despite having some good information about juicing - including some very appealing recipes - this book is overly dramatic, alarmist, and scientifically dubious. It encourages you, over and over, to have enemas and colonics, which I find ridiculous and excessive. Further, the authors’ opinion of non-organic produce is laughably elitist: “‘(C)onventionally’ produced produce (is) a good way to create toxicity in your body. You’d basically be pumping nutrient-rich poison into your body.” Puh-lease.
I pity the poor idiot who picks up this book and follows it to the letter. There are more approachable, practical, and empathetic books about juicing out there, including Reboot With Joe (Joe Cross) and Detox Juicing (Morena Escardo & Morena Cuarda). ( )

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Juice Fasting
Over 75 Fresh and Tasty Recipes to
Cleanse and Nourish Your Body
by Steven Prussack and Bo Rinaldi

I have always been a fan of the "complete Idiot's Guide" series so I was extremely pleased when I was given the opportunity to review this exceptional 214 page find. Since we got our juicer a while ago I have been introduced to the finer points and benefits of eating raw. I loved this book because of it's simplicity and ease when it came to recipes, ingredients and even menus laid right out there in such a way that it really was goof proof.

This yummy find has so many uses for everything from weight loss to just needing a healthy way to detox and a whole lot in between. I would recommend this robust pioneer to anyone wanting to live a healthier and happier life. Thank you both, for showing me help for my New Year's resolution.

Love & Light,
