Book Reviews of Detoxify or Die
Book Review: Take Charge of Your Own Health
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first time I have ever written a review for a book - and I do not have any affiliation with Sherry Rogers. I watched my mother deteriorate (medically) over a 15 year period. By the end, she had (among others too numerous to list) the following diseases: congestive heart failure, diabetes, glaucoma, emphysema, Chron's disease, and osteo-arthritis in all her major joints. Her pain and discomfort was so intense that no medication(s) could help - even though she was on 15-20 medications. Needless to say, her demise was slow and painful and she spent the last 2 years of her life bed-ridden in a nursing home. The amount of medical care she needed was simply too much for the family to provide. My mother's lifestyle was the primary cause behind her many medical issues. Unfortunately, she was too stubborn to change her ways. She smoked most of her life, was sedentary, and though her diet was average by American standards, she drank cokes and diet-cokes (2-4 liters per day) for 20+ years. She always believed in the traditional medical establishment - and that she should be able to get a "pill" that solved any medical problem she had. My mother was a testament to modern medicine - she was kept alive long after she wished to be gone....but her quality of life was horrible. My mother was the poster child for what NOT to do if you want a quality life health-wise. And so, I've tried to take care of my health in ways she never would (through diet and exercise). After watching what Mom went through and (through my own experiences with medical doctors) I came to the realization that `traditional' doctors: a) don't spend enough time with their patients and jump to quick diagnosis; b) don't always run the diagnostic tests needed before prescribing medications (due to Health insurer pressure?); and, c) are too quick to write a prescription - I decided to begin educating myself about my own health care. It's taken me a few years, but I've reached the conclusion that `traditional' doctors have their uses, but they are not going to help you solve health problems. They WILL write you prescriptions which simply treat the symptoms - not the underlying cause of your health problems. As I've continued my self education concerning my own health care, I have located a natural doctor that I see to counter-balance my PCP. I also ran across Sherry Rogers' name in my readings and promptly ordered "Detoxify or Die" (sorry for the long dissertation - I'm finally getting to the reason for this book review). Her book was extremely well written with language that even a lay person can understand - chock full of the true science behind medical problems. I was elated to find a doctor with her convictions and willingness to share her knowledge (as well as treatment protocols) in the books she has written. "Detoxify or Die" was just the first of her books I've read. I've ordered several more and am working my way through them. Though America has the most technically advanced medical care in the world, the health of our nation is well behind many other nations. If you are interested in educating yourself as to "why" and want to take responsibility for your own health, I cannot recommend a particular author more strongly!
Book Review: The best book on detoxification
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have an illness and you have no answer for it you probably will find the answer in this book. However it is a must read for everybody if you want to stay healthy. I have bought several copies of this book for my friends and they loved it.Book Review: This book is the Holy Grail for so many suffers of non-specific maladies
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book for those who know something's wrong with their body but haven't been able to obtain a believable diagnosis from their doctor(s). I lived in a mold-infested house for 5 years and after that began to feel fatigued, depressed, deveoped weird back pain, and began getting sick in office buildings. I became so sensitized to indoor office environments that I developed MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities). Then, unbeknownst to me, I worked in a building that remodeled a year before I arrived. I immediately reacted to the new carpet off-gassing, paint, and other chemicals one year after that remodel, but no one else did. I became the "canary in the cage," able to smell all kinds of toxic chemicals. I had ringing in my ears, dizziness, skin rashes, but mostly chronic sinus and chest inflammation. I spent the last 17 years sick, and getting sicker all the time. Doctors kept telling me I had asthma and pushed inhalers at me, along with antibiotics for what they said were sinus infections. They even wanted to perform back and nasal surgery! Then I got Dr. Rogers' book in 2006 and learned about toxic overload and how it manifests itself in our bodies and was shocked and thrilled to learn there was REALLLY help for sufferers of environmental illnesses like me. This book should be required reading for every doctor in this country who is too busy to devote more than 5 or 10 minutes to a patient, so he/she writes prescriptions to treat the symptoms of our illness, but not the cause, adding even more toxic layers to our already overburdened tissues. In many instances, it is the accumulated toxins which are the cause of our illness. In my case, my body was chronically nflamed from toxin buildup. Saunas, from my personal experience, are tremendously helpful in cleaning out the toxins. I regained my energy and my health. Who would have thought something as simple as a sauna could be so valuable? Sherry Rogers explains the possible causes of so many of today's maladies, suggests natural methods to help heal, and I am proud to say her book has saved me from more years of suffering in ignorance. It is my personal Holy Grail. Thank you, Dr. Rogers. I owe my reclaimed health to your books.Book Review: Very Knowledgable

I bought this book for my mum and dad by request. They do not have the internet so I ordered it for them. I have not read it so can only tell you that my mum was so interested in it she was finding it hard to put down. My mum and dad are very much into health and this book was recommended to them.Book Review: We have given this book to over a dozen friends & family
Summary: 5 Stars
Do not underestimate the significance of Dr. Rogers' book. She references over 50 pages of medical studies at the back of the book, yet it is easy to read and understand. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia etc. are ALL preventable contrary to what the medical profession says. Think about all of the money at stake in keeping people sick and on medications. There is relatively little money in getting and keeping people healthy. Take resposibility for your own health and follow the guidelines in her book - Dr. Rogers is passionate, straight forward and bang on. Buy this book for yourself, give it to those you love.
