Detoxification and Healing: The Key to Optimal Health

I really like this book. It is not too big but and not too hard to understand. I met this wonderful doctor and he knows his subject very well.

The first book on this topic that I've gotten excited about!

I wish every mainstream doctor would read this book. I've read a half dozen books on detoxification, and this is the best! His presentation is clear, concise, and backed by science. The case history examples he is able to present to testify to his claims, come from his 30 plus years in medical practice. I'd much rather read the instruction from a person so well versed in biochemestry than some of the other books that offer only the testimonials of lay-persons as proof that their ideas are sound.

More than the usual "detox" book.

This is a book written by an Orthomolecular doctor at his best. What you get here is much more than "how toos". Detoxification is about working from the fundamentals of a system and out from there. Dr. Baker, in speaking about this subject, gives a great example of how balance and imbalance, in healing, has always made perfect sense. This is a very enlightening and informative set of ideas that can help open new ways of thinking. Not, "way out - new age" concepts, but common sense connections about how our choices effect us and how we can be empowered to make changes to heal. I recommend this highly and also for anyone that wants to get a very good glimpse at how a good Orthomolecular doctor thinks about things.

Excellent

The author backs up what he clearly states is his personal viewpoint with fascinating scientific information and clinical experience. The book gives understanding and guidance to people with often misunderstood chronic conditions. The author is a MD who has taught at Yale Medical School; therefore it may be good book to give to skeptical clinicians. In the forward Jeffrey Bland Ph.D. states that he considers Baker a "master teacher."
