Toxic relief 
Here's a doctor who really cares about you and your health. Juicing helps me feel more alive. I like the red beet and sweet potato recipe. There's a big difference with Dr. Colbert with teaching how to care for your mind and body. Instead of writing out just a prescription with tons of side effects and out the door you go. Christian means love and care for everyone. I think more people would go to the doctor if there were more doctors like Dr. Colbert. It's a great book to experience excellent health.

good information
Don Colbert is an excellent source of spiritual and nutritional advice. This book is loaded with both. If you want to improve your health spiritually, mentally and physically, you want to read this book.

Good Info 
This book has a lot of good information but I have to keep second guessing Dr Colbert because some of this is from left field. The book also made me feel very paranoid about everything consumed by the body, whether it's light, liquid, solid or air. I want to live in a bubble.

Good Theme, But Overdone
I purchased and read this book at the recommendation of a good friend. While I agree with Colbert's basic assertion that we need to eat healthier and avoid added chemicals, he goes off the deep end with a myriad of recommendations for organic food, juices, and other products to add to our diets. This title would have been MUCH better had he kept things simpler, not overwhelming the reader with so many radical changes.
Colbert's work here is definitely Christian in content and tone, but I deeply appreciate that perspective. In fact, the best part of the book is the final section "Detoxing Your Whole Person," which gives detailed instructions on the many benefits of spiritual fasting. I plan to keep the book in my library simply because of this important section.
This title isn't for everyone. If you're looking for some new, unashamedly Christian insights on improving your diet and taking care of your body however, you'll find something of use here.

Supergreens is = to 6 servings of veggies. In terms of KILOBYTES. 
I have been fasting, on water alone, for 17 days now, and I plan to withdraw to consumption again when my body tells me I should. On every page, the wealth of Colbert's ignorance astounded me. What he has written is secondhand drivel from health books popular in the 80s, which advised readers not to drink water during a meal, because it would "dilute the digestive enzymes and interfere with digestion." Anyone who has opened a middle school level Biology book knows otherwise. How is this guy a doctor?
He is FUNNY, however. I often found myself laughing out loud reading this. He appealed to the Bible and yet obviously prefers juice fasting in almost all cases, and even prohibits absolute fasts (which I've done dozens of times).
None of the fasters in the Bible "juice fasted." Many of the spiritual leaders in the Bible did "absolute fasts," which Colbert expressly prohibits, even if God calls you to it. So I wish Colbert would make up his mind. Why does he advocate fasting? Because of science, or religion? He seems to fill the book with both (watered-down forms of each), but NEITHER support his juice-fasting dogma, as far as I can tell.
Three times he wrote, "Supergreens is equal to 6 servings of vegetables." Huh? Equal how? In calories? In antioxidants? In fiber? In phytonutrients? In KILOBYTES? In toxins?
He leaves it to the reader to make of it what the reader likes.
If you want a summary of what science has to say about fasting, better look elsewhere. If you want anything concerning religion, better fast and pray before reading this quack. He's just telling us what his grandma told him what Benny Hinn told her what Jesus told him what the Father told Him.
