The purpose of this book is not to make foods wrong or right. It is to show you how your food choices are deeply connected to your current state of health and your current list of symptoms. Cleansing shows us the cause and effect relationship we have with food and our health. This text is the day-to-day guidebook for readers who are nervous but ready to commit to the 28-day cellular cleansing diet that the author recommends. It can be approached from any number of angles, ranging from "following the book exactly" to "grazing at the natural foods deli." To observe the one rule, which is to make it easy, he recommends organizing your kitchen into a cleansing one; choosing a definitive start and stop date for the 28-day program, and preparing your food chain.

This book contains a great deal of fascinating and useful information gleaned from the author's 20+ years experience with cleansing diets. You will learn much about cooking and food preparation, as well as different fruits, vegetables, oils, grains, and essential kitchen utensils. There are great, practical recipes included that will introduce you to live foods as you undertake your 28-day journey. There is a day-by-day journal that includes a checklist, meal suggestions, and a space for notes.

The author cautions about one likely side-effect: "Be prepared for the Upset! As your symptoms start to alleviate, be prepared to be upset. Losing your symptoms through a change of food will make you ask, Why weren't you told about this? All the experts, all the money, all the expensive tests, reports, all the waste of resources and time, all the suffering, and not a single expert who said, 'It's your food. Stop eating what you're eating, and start eating something different.'"
