Morrison, owner of a New York City-based integrative practice (www.themorrisoncenter.com) specializing in environmental and nutritional medicine, lays out a 30-day/optional ten-day detox plan to combat the various damages our bodily systems incur from the environment, to the potentially hazardous things we handle, to the food we eat, the air we breath, and the water we drink. A typical daily menu consists of two plant-based protein shakes, organic fruits and vegetables, and a serving of grass-fed meat or wild fish. Included is a comprehensive questionnaire measuring neurological, immune, digestive, metabolic, and hormonal functions and guidelines for limiting toxic exposure. Three appendixes covering nutritional supplements, questions for your doctor/additional testing options, and resources for further study round out the book.
VERDICT More than just a detox tract, this is a thoughtful explication of the toxins we encounter in daily life, their effects on us, and the steps we can take immediately to regenerate and heal. It is essential not only in geographically toxic areas, but in every home, as required reading short on scare tactics and high on quality-of-life-altering information.
