Watcha’ Readin’: Book review of “Complete Colon Cleanse”

This month I read “Complete Colon Cleanse: The At-Home Detox Program to Restore Good Health, Boost Vitality and Ensure Longevity”. A bit overwhelmed? Rest assured, it’s a long title but a relatively short book. I read through it quite quickly and was completely fascinated the whole time. This book really illuminates just what is going on down there in the dark basements of our bodies, and all from a philosophy of a holistic health practitioner, Dr. Edward F. Group III. Dr. Ed explains his philosophy has being based on regular cleansing of the body to maintain a toxic free environment for all the good stuff to function they way it needs to inside us. He explains that, unlike many doctors he observes in the medical profession, he does not believe in prescribing but rather teaching his patients how to heal themselves through cleansing and better lifestyle. This philosophy makes a lot of sense to me. I can’t remember the amount of times that doctors wrote me a prescription after only a 5 minute chat about my complaint, no real investigating into what the cause of my symptoms may be, just a scribbled note that only pharmacists can read.
Dr. Ed’s book is focused on colon health and cleansing, but he does a good job to explain the ways that a healthy colon affects the entire body. Also, how it is neglected, due to it’s kind of gross nature, and so is often an extremely unhealthy part of our bodies, even when we are super health obsessed people. The book has a lot of really valuable information as well as a cleansing plan specifically for the colon, but it would have benefits on other parts of the body as well.
All in all, I would highly recommend this book. It’s filled with facts that will blow you away, cleansing plans, pertinent information about the way we live and the affects it has on our bodies and detailed information about the way the colon operates and can break down when not taken care of. My only warning, maybe don’t pull it out in a public place, like the subway or a waiting room, it is also filled with a lot of pictures and diagrams of bowel movements and other kind of yucky stuff.
