Amazon.co.uk Review: Your liver handles 100s of different functions and its health affects every single part of your body. It may be the cause behind almost any symptom or health problem you have and it can be in trouble even before you find yourself feeling "liverish" or jaded in general, or after rich foods or a heavy drinking session. In The Liver Detox Plan, nutritionist and homeopath Xandria Williams uses her 20 years of experience in correcting digestive problems to explain exactly what the liver does and how to keep it as healthy as possible.
By following her four or eight-week plan to help your liver to a better state of health, you can achieve greater vitality, energy and weight loss and even repair the damage of your past lifestyle. Her detox plan is gentle, safe and, most importantly, flexible. The book is written with a wide variety of people in mind including those of us who do not seem able to stick to a diet or plan for any length of time. You can either try her four-week "quick fix" or her eight-week "totally committed" plan.
The book is clearly laid out with helpful lists of fruit and vegetables, fluids and supplements that are good for your liver. The recipes are simple but inviting. Xandria also includes tips on emergency repair treatment for your liver after several heavy nights out. The final section of the book explains symptoms you might experience when your liver needs a detox. If you suffer from chronic fatigue, headaches, allergies, candidiasis, high-blood pressure, PMS, hypoglycaemia, mood swings or menopausal problems, Xandria's detox programme could greatly help to reduce your symptoms. An excellent, practical book which can help tackle a wide range of illnesses. --Meg Slyfield

Rating: - believable comprehnsive and cohesive work, just excellent !
Of all the books and articles I have read on health, vitamins, diets, etc. this is the one that made a difference. All the bits of advice, I have recieved piecemeal over the years were plugged together, and I saw a cohesive picture for the first time, and now understand what I was doing to my liver. This book adds scientific weight to traditional knowlege, and presents the most clear, ballanced, understandable, practical and pragmatic advice for improving your diet, and life. It is the same advice that you will get from many books, but with scientific backup and realism, instead of hype. One sceptic now enjoying healthy food (eating more, losing weight, cholesterol, triglycerides and all liver function now normal ! ). Thanks.
Rating: - Good enough to make you detox & respect your liver...
I had a vague notion the liver was important, but had no idea just how important. Ms William's book is excellent in all repects; information, recepies for detox, etc. This book made me give up smoking, after 25 years; I now want to go & see Xandria Williams at her London practice and hopefully change my life forever.
Rating: - Well-researched, easy-to-follow and motivating!
This book was the tool I needed to turn my life around! I have lost more than 2 stone and that was just one of the side benefits of following the detox plan! It is a realistic plan as you can adapt it for your particular circumstances as well as very thorough! The benefits of cleansing the liver are explained in excellent details - whoever thought so much was affected by the liver!! I enjoyed dramatically increased energy-levels and clear skin / eyes, weight loss (etc)within the first week!!!!!
Rating: - The book was so good I avoided a surgical operation!
This book was very informative and gave me the confidence to question medical doctors regarding the treatment of gall stones. The traditional method of treatment is surgery but having read this book I eliminated the symtoms of the disease, have lost several stones in weight and feel alive again! I have kept my gall bladder because I asked a question from this excellent book i.e."why throw out the dustbin because it's full of rubbish?" It has an excellent index for spot checking individual items and is easy to follow.
