Reviews

“Christopher Vasey has once again written an important book that advances our understanding of health and gives readers a clear approach to detoxification that far surpasses the majority of books in this realm. He offers the layperson masterful insights that are based on real-world clinical experience, traditional wisdom, and straightforward science. Dr. Vasey is a brilliant spokesperson for the naturopathic approach. This is a concise, readable, and practical book that puts the power to heal into your own hands. Highly recommended.”

“Christopher Vasey, N.D., perfectly explains the major importance of a well-balanced biological terrain as well as the need to control the effects of external pollutants (free radicals, heavy metals, chemical additives in foods, chemical molecules in medicines, etc.) and internal pollutants: colloidal and crystalline wastes. These modern toxins do not have biologically programmed “exit routes.” Our body, infinitely adaptable for millennia, has not had the necessary time to adapt to these toxic wastes. Optimal Detox offers the tools to live a healthier and more youthful life. I highly recommend this book.”
*Yann Rougier, M.D., author of Delta Medicine and founding member of the Institute for Applied Neuron*

“Optimal Detox is well laid-out and comprehensive. Although it is filled necessarily with Latin and medical terminology, it clearly breaks down illnesses, the causes, and the clearing. It’s an excellent everyday reference guide for anyone wanting to address illness through naturopathy and non-surgical/non-pharmaceutical ways, restoring and maintaining solid health through a plant-based diet and thorough elimination and avoidance of foods and behaviors that promote the toxins that lead to illness.”
*Allyson Gracie, Retailing Insight, March 2013*

“There is so much to know about cleansing your body of toxins and somehow Christopher Vasey makes it simple to understand. This is a good follow-up to his earlier book, The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, and both are excellent resource books for professionals and everyday people who simply want to live a healthier life and detoxify from all the toxins in our environment and processed foods.”
*Dhara Lemos, Lotus Guide Magazine, April 2013*

“This book has a lot of information and is for anyone who wants to improve their health and understand what is causing their symptoms. It is comprehensive, yet at the same time concise so it is not overwhelming. The author shares brilliant strategies and life-changing methods.”
*Myron B., Book Bargains and Previews, May 2013*

“Dr. Vasey advises on choosing the correct drainage therapy for the right organ, based on combinations of water intake and hydrotherapy, medicinal herbal treatments and appropriate nutritional intake with dietary corrections. His book offers a way to restore good health according to the laws of nature.”
