 TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
By Katwoman
Although I believe Dr. Rau's system of belief when it comes to the direct connection amongst nutrition and health, I find this diet to be very difficult to stick with and very extreme for an average, healthful person.
It is similar in system of belief to a Macrobiotic diet but the influence is European cuisine as opposed to Asian cuisine. It prohibits the intake of sugar, caffeine, processed foods, alcohol and animal protien, while primarily increasing your vegetable and grain intake. I've done the Macrobiotic diet and I experienced increased energy, vitality, better sleep, better mood, etc. Dr. Rau claims that this is what you'll experience with his diet . However, when I did the detox, I experienced headaches, nausea, and a usual sentiment of impairment of normal physiological function the duration of the diet and I feel it was due to the total lack of caloric intake. I do think cleansing the body is a good thing and fasting for one or two days may be beneficial. However, I do not feel his detox diet is a healthful approach for healthful people. His claims are that you will feel better and better as the days go on but that was not my experience. In my opinion, no diet that limits your caloric intake to a few hundred calories a day is good for the body. Nothing uttermost is good for the body and his detox is way too extreme.
If you do determine to get this book, a great deal of things you will have to know:
The recipes for the three week plan and the one week intensive detox require a lot of cooking and preparation. Because it is based on the regimen done at his clinic/spa in Switzerland where meals are prepared for you, it's difficult for a regular person's lifestyle and schedule. You would basically have to take a week off from work to start out the diet and that is unrealistic for most people. I likewise found more than a few inconsistensies: Dr. Rau opposes any dairy from cows, but some recipes call for cream and butter! Some of the ingredients are very difficult to come by. One day's meal required chestnuts and since I started the diet in Spring, they weren't available and he offers no substitution. Dr. Rau isn't exhaustive in his comprehensible statement of preparing some of the recipes because one recipe on the restrictive detox, he requires you to prepare a corn chowder, but doesn't explain how you are supposed to prepare the leeks in the recipe since you aren't supposed to saute anything. Dr. Rau proposes that hunger would not be a problem because of the feed intake. Well that isn't true. I was very hungry all the time because of the fixed caloric intake. Dr. Rau is adamant regarding following the diet to a tee so these inconsistensies were discouraging and hindering and it left me beauteous doubtful when it comes to his claims and philosophies. I felt like he and his publisher were in a rush to publish the book and get it out and I also got the impression that it was more to publicize his clinic/spa in Switzerland.
Would I suggest this book? Unfortunately, no.

 Fantastic program on creation of health
By Teresa M. Luttrell
Dr. Rau has written an excellent, effortlessly understandable book on how to construct health and/or recover from illness. His mutual sense approach, with plainly stated yet finish explanations, made it so much requiring little effort to follow his program than others I've tried. For instance, I never knew that eating onions has the effect of making the lymphatic scheme sluggish! I have found it posing no difficulty to adjust my dietary habits because I have info when it comes to how the foods I employed to eat were affecting my health. I've been ill with Lyme impairment of normal physiological function for a couple of years and felt horrid--extreme fatigue, pain, neurological symptoms, aphasia, etc; following Dr. Rau's program for just a few weeks has made an enormous divergence in how I feel. I have energy, something I haven't been competent to assert for a very long time, and I just feel BETTER. Knowing now that a high share of the immune system is in the gut, eating to heal it makes total sense. What a difference! I never thought I'd be eating oatmeal with raw apples and a tablespoon of flax seed oil and take delight in it, but it's very tasty and gives a wonderful, sustained energy all around the morning. Recipes I've tried have been very, very good. But the best part is the result---feeling outstanding after years of illness. This book must be a bestseller. Buy it! 37 of 46 people found the following review helpful.
The Answer to today's medical crisis and to disease.
By P. Costello
I am a practicing neurosurgeon in the USA, trained as a traditionalisti allopathic doctor at an Ivy League school with the addition of a PhD to my MD degree, yet I didn't comprehend the true origin of our ill or aging body and it's 'diseased states', nor did I learn the answer as to ultimately preventing these states, until I studied with Dr. Rau. You won't need pills to treat sickness or fatigue once you've learned how to cleanse your body of it's toxins and rebuild it the natural and healthful way. I urge you to read this user friendly version of Dr. Rau's God given clear or deep perception and hard learned approach to getting healthful (via true healing) and in the end preventing illness.
