Detoxification is the missing link for overall well-being, weight loss, and especially immune system health.”\u003cbr\u003e  —Anne Louise Gittleman, author of The New York Times bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Fat Flush Plan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eELSON M. HAAS, MD, is the founder and director of the Preventive Medical Center of Marin in San Rafael, California, which was among the first multi-disciplinary, integrative medicine clinics in the state. He is the author of eight books on the topics of nutrition and health. \u003cbr\u003e Visit www.haashealthonline.com and www.pmcmarin.com\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e DANIELLA CHACE, MSN, is a nutritionist and author of more than a dozen books on healthy eating. \u003cbr\u003e Visit www.daniellachace.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cu\u003eDetox: Hoax or Healing? \u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I have used the process of detoxification and the information in this book for more than thirty-five years for my personal well-being as well as for many thousands of patients, with even more people benefiting from the process since the publication of the first edition of this book. Of course, there are many other practitioners who guide and observe people through similar processes of elimination diets, detoxification programs, and juice cleansing and have thousands of positive anecdotes. We still do not have much research that backs up what we see. It is challenging to first study the multi-dimensional programs people typically employ and then compare them with placebos or different diets. This research gold standard (double-blind, placebo-controlled study) is much easier when evaluating one substance, like a new medicine. \u003cbr\u003e Really, we are talking here about a complete lifestyle shift, as with diet, exercise activities, and attitudes. Thus, to skeptics, it’s all a bunch of talk. “Prove to me that it works,” states a scientific researcher. I say, “Let me put you on a program and we’ll see how you feel and look. And we can study your blood chemistry, such as your cholesterol level (especially when it’s high), or monitor your blood pressure. Many aspects of your health will get better, with many side benefits.” I know when people make lifestyle and habit changes they often have improved health results.\u003cbr\u003e Still, it’s difficult to study whole programs for improved health. Here, experience and anecdote might be a better gold standard.\u003cbr\u003e   We have expanded the recipe options from the original version of The Detox Diet because we want to give you more tasty choices for foods you can consume during and after detox. The following recipes are examples of foods you can eat coming off your detox program as well as some you can even consume while on your detox. We have organized them into breakfast; lunch and dinner; soups, salads, and side dishes; sauces, dips and dressings; snacks and treats; hot and cold drinks; smoothies; and fresh vegetable and fruit juices for easier access and application to your diet.\u003cbr\u003e Part of the detoxification process is following an alkaline diet to help balance the acidic body state, which we believe leads to the toxicity and inflammation that results in the chronic, degenerative problems many Westerners experience. (See the earlier discussion on the acid-alkaline balance in chapter 2.) Therefore, our program focuses on the alkaline-generating fruits and vegetables and the most alkaline grains, which include millet, quinoa, and buckwheat. We have avoided the use of commonly reactive foods, such as wheat and dairy products other than an occasional optional ingredient, as with the cheese in the Stuffed Bell Peppers (page 228).\u003cbr\u003e We also suggest minimizing all chemical exposure, both from your environment and from your foods. Therefore, we support your inclusion of organic food choices whenever these are available, as well as avoiding packaged and processed foods as much as possible and minimizing chemical use at home. A review of chemical concerns and the most important foods to buy organically grown can be found in Staying Healthy with Nutrition. \u003cbr\u003e Good appetite. Good food.
