Dr Haas reacquaints readers with the art of detoxification in this guide. A philosopher-physician, Dr Haas advocates an approach to health which supports the body's own natural healing process. A detox diet is designed for anyone seeking renewed health after years of damaging lifestyle and eating habits. Healing the gastro-intestinal tract and its relationship to overall health is discussed, along with specific programmes for detoxification from sugar, caffeine, alchohol and nicotine, using the Alkaline Detox Diet.
