Summary: Just What I Needed!
Comment: I decided to do the 3-Day Energy Fast right after New Year's. It was exactly what I needed after the holidays. During the three days, I felt great mentally and spiritually. Physically, I experienced some caffeine withdrawal (which is addressed in the book)that passed without too much discomfort. What I really liked about the book was the way that Serure not only provided me with recipes and menus for the three days of drinking juices and vegetable broth, she also included suggestions for meditations, walks and journalling. This was truly a mind-body-spirit experience! And, I was not hungry at all during the fast. My only criticism of the book is that it does not provide the reader with enough information about how to change eating habits after the fast is complete. While Serure does address what to eat immediately following the fast, I would have liked more information about how to change eating habits on an ongoing basis.

Summary: dissapointed in the "new"(and unenlightened) age
Comment: If you are interested in learning about the healthy benefits and factual information on nutrional fasting and detoxification this is not the book for you. Serure's ideas on the benefits of healthy nutrition and the need to reduce stress in one's life as well as examine fundamental aspects that make us unhealthy are well meaning. But like so many alternative health guides today, its credibility comes into question with her descriptions of "psychic visions", new age superstition,as well as descriptions of visits from dead friends from the nether world (Really, would you trust someone like this with your health?) Starting out on the right track to healing she asks the reader, as a part of her healing program, to take a step back into ignorance and delusion (and eventually unhealthy denial), by surrendering to a higher being. Is this what unhealthy people need--to bury themselves in more unrealistic dogma? Lets get real, boycott ignorance by not purchasing this book.

Summary: Did SHE ever try it???
Comment: My reactions to this book, and to the fasting method it promotes, are mixed. I have strong suspiciouns that, like most self-help books, the need to pad a small amount of essential information has led her to add many things that don't need to be there--the daily routine she prescribes is utterly unrealistic for a person eating three solid meals, let alone existing only on juice and broth. But my biggest complaint is with the juice recipes, which she clearly has never actually made. About the "morning drink" recipe, made in a blender, she says, "If there's any left over, have that for an afternoon pick me up." Lady, if you follow your recipe, it makes nearly a half gallon of the stuff. Sorry, but I'm getting a little cynical about the new age cash cow.
