I enjoy watching my friends magically shrinky-dink in a month when they do this cleanse. It is a solid way of eating and healing the body of all sorts of ills. The cardiologist MD author used it to heal his own depression and irritable bowel syndrome. Almost identical to Mark Hyman's work, but as they both practice Functional Medicine, that makes sense. Junger's writing style and the story of his own healing journey makes a more entertaining read, which tends to be more motivational.
Best and clearest explanation I've ever read for detox programs. He covers all the physiological information in a very accessible way.
Interesting reading but I can't really rate it higher without having followed the program. I am intrigued since I have health problems that may benefit from a cleanse so I may give it a try. Much of the information on inflammation is not new to me as I am an avid reader of books by Dr Joel Fuhrman, Dr Esselstyne, Dr McDougall, etc. Unfortunately, you can't find two who agree on all points which makes it difficult to know who to follow.
meh. I read it to see what the fuss was about. Not impressed with his science.

Dr. Alejandro Junger was born in Uruguay in 1964. He graduated from medical school there in 1990 and moved to New York City for his postgraduate training. He completed three years of training in Internal Medicine at NYU Downtown Hospital and three more years of fellowship in Cardiovascular Diseases at Lenox Hill Hospital. His drastic change in show more lifestyle and diet from his move to New York City soon reflected as irritable bowel syndrome and depression. Becoming a patient of the system he was practicing was such a shock, that it started a journey to search for an alternative solution to his health problems. His findings are the subject of his first book, Clean. In it, Dr. Junger describes how he became aware of the toxicity of our planet. He also explains how detoxification and cleansing have been around for thousands of years, but knowledge about them has been lost at at time when it is more important than ever before. Most importantly, Clean is a manual for readers to learn how to turn our detoxification systems on full speed, while supporting our bodies to maximize their effectiveness. His title Clean Gut made The New York Times Best Seller List in 2013. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
