[.ca] Detox for Life: Your Bottom Lineit's Your Colon or Your ... (ISBN 0967987865)

At odds with more commonly held medical preconceptions:
Detox For Life by certified colon hydrotherapist and educator Loree Jordan is a superbly presented self-help guide to being good to one's colon through proper nutrition and water drinking, colonic cleansing, an appropriate exercise regimen, and the taking of beneficial herbs. The author's personal passion for colonic health shines through as she forcefully presents her program for internal cleansing. Detox For Life dares to be at odds with more commonly held medical preconceptions; the author claims that anyone who poops less than 3 times a day is constipated and exhorts 7-day fasts combined with a colonic cleansing and herbal program for overall wellness. Written with a personal touch of humor, Detox For Life is a highly recommended and potentially life-saving alternative point of view for anyone suffering from bowel problems or who wants to improve their overall health from the innards up.

cloaca maxima:
This book contains about fifteen percent useful information. The rest is made up of stories about colon cleansing, the politics of same, testimonials, etc. While the author's enthusiasm is hard to beat, she only touches on the basis of a clean system: whole grains, veggies, plant protein, etc. Colon cleansing will not undo years of abuse, and the best way to avoid the consequences is by eating in a colon - friendly way, that is, like a Vegan. Cleanse if you like - it's better than nothing, and probably won't hurt. But the optimum way to optimum health is an intelligent diet.

Serious measures for a serious subject -- written with humor:
You can get a bit of a shock from this book, but you really need to know the material presented here. It's a matter of life or death. This book covers subjects like parasitic infestation (yes , it's possible), flatulence and digestive problems, constipation and bowel conditions, and even colon cleansing procedures. Jordan says the increase in cancer rates along with our polluted environment and the additives in our food all make colon cleansing -- indeed, system cleansing -- crucial to our individual health. Twelve medical doctors support her theories of detoxification and there are illustrations, cartoons and diagrams to emphasize points. This really is an important book, especially if you're "of an age," for as we get older, taking extra precautions for our health becomes more and more important.
