I have done this plan 3 times over the last 6 years. It has totally changed the way we eat at home.
It takes some effort to do it completely but it's worth it. Do the shopping and try to stick with it. Some of the recipies are pretty bad. I spiced the basic soup up with curry spices. The cold soup in week 2 is inedible, replace it with a gaspacho. Also cut down the amounts by half for the soups as it makes tons.
I have reccommended this book to friends who have also done it more than once. I am now buying a new book as mine has fallen to pieces and I want to do it again.

This book is full of great tips for eliminating bodily toxins- and it's all easy to do. I've noticed such a positive difference in the changes I've made to my diet.

Complicated
20 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
This was the first detox book I have read.
It involves a lot of planning & preparing.
What I gained from the book: rediscovered taking baths, understanding how my colon should properly function (& how my protruding stomach was due to a bloated dysfunctional colon), some wonderful liquid concoctions & that my menstrual cycle is necessary for cleansing & how to help it along. I saved the activities for those weekends or nights when I didn't have responsibilities to deal with & my boyfriend in the house. They served as a nice treat.
The most visible improvement was my skin. About more than a year ago I started getting really bad acne again, since about 6 years ago. The Rejuvalac drink seemed to clear it up. In fact I stopped using it & the spots (which I believe were due to some bacterial imbalance) came back. I then started to drink it again & it's been about 3 months & still clear. You need to hold your nose when you drink it but it doesn't have a bad taste.
By the second week I unfortunately gave up. I work full time, go to school and the plan is just too complicated and time consuming for me right now. Its been about 4 months since I started it & I still try to do some of things suggested in the book though. I have gone back to some of my bad habits though.
Unlike one review, and i've reread the book a couple of times, I don't remember the author claiming that her food combining principles are the reason that will help one lose weight. She only claimed that eating certain foods together leaves gases in your stomach, which makes one's stomach protrude. And she only claimed, as a by the way benefit, that one would 'may' lose some weight while following this.
The program is time consuming & somewhat expensive. The book does say that doing the entire program is somewhat impossible but the author wanted to give enough so that the individual readers can tailor/omit things. I live in hippie town San Francisco so finding the ingredients at my local organic, non-meat, bulk food, co-op health food store was easy enough (though time consuming & expensive). I can only assume it would be hard trying to find all of it if I didn't live in this diverse city though.
I gave the book 4 stars for the wealth of information the book provides. I give myself 1 star for not following thru. But I plan to revisit the book once (if) I get it back from my friend.
Once I finish school this next year I plan to see if I can do the entire program all the way through.

Informative yet time consuming and expensive
22 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
I picked up this book after quitting smoking to go through a whole body detox and found a lot of the information useful and compelling. At the same time, it is very difficult and down-right complicated to work full time and follow the daily tea drinking at special times, exercise, bathing rituals, and lengthy food preparation, etc. I found I had to pick 2 or 3 items out of the schedule for a day but never managed to fit in everything recommended except almost everything on a weekend. Silver provides an extensive shopping list with some hard to find and many(!) expensive items although she does state several times that you should adapt the plan to whatever works for you. I am glad I bought the book as I learned many things about digestion, nutrition and overall health and have adopted some of the recommendations but definitely have not been able to go through the full plan.

Detox programme works well, but format could be clearer.
24 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
I've used this book's detox programme twice, once six years ago and once this month, September 2004. I've found it really effective. The first time I did it I felt great, plus I lost 16 pounds and 2 inches off my waist, and kept it there for 4 years! So I recently detoxed again because I do like cookies etc! It worked well again. I found the book's format was very readable, and the articles for each day were interesting. For the daily menus during the 21 day prgramme, I would have preferred it presented more in simple lists and tables, not so many wordy paragraphs. I had to search for the information and write up my own schedule and shopping lists. But that's not much work, and if you really want the detox to succeed, it's worth that effort. Very good; reccomended.
