Clean Gut: The Breakthrough Plan For Eliminating The Root Cause Of Disease And Revolutionizing Your Health (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Very interesting and enlightening read. It definitely highlighted some warning signs for me as my family has a history of bowel disorders. Some things I can't seem to get my head around though - such as Junger's belief in 'mucoid plaque' that the rest of the scientific community seems to have disproved. And I do wish that when people talk about toxins they would start talking about what specific compounds they actually mean (although I have been told by other professionals that toxins mean indigestible acids) - otherwise, they'll never be taken seriously. Brilliant in general and I will try the diet one day, but needs to stick with the science and keep clear of the pseudo-science. Well-written, clear, easy to understand. I'm officially two weeks into the three-week cleanse (although I started following the dietary recommendations a week or two before I managed to track down all the supplements), and I've noticed a very marked improvement in my gut symptoms. My IBS-like issues are not gone--but they were severe, and I expect that I'm going to need some additional intervention--but they have been significantly reduced. I'm very pleased with the improvement and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the book to anyone who is having GI-type issues.I also recommend The Blood Sugar Solution by Dr. Mark Hyman, not necessarily for GI issues, but in case you're one of the millions of Americans whose blood sugar or blood lipid numbers could use some improvement. I experienced remarkable improvements in my health by following Dr. Hyman's plan.

So far it seems pretty great but I'm about to try the cleanse; I'll update when I'm done that.
