About the author

Dr. Ann Louise was recognized as one of the top ten nutritionists in the country by Self magazine and was the recipient of the American Medical Writers Association award for excellence.

She was the first to warn of the environmental hazards of parasites in her classic Guess What Came To Dinner? Parasites and Your Health. In Your Body Knows Best, Dr. Ann Louise was the first to discuss the blood type/weight theory and proclaim that one diet may not be right for every body - an idea that is only now becoming mainstream. She was the first to offer natural remedies for menopausal symptoms in Super Nutrition for Menopause (now in print as Hot Times) and is widely credited as the first to popularize the term “perimenopause” in her New York Times bestseller, Before The Change.

Dr. Ann Louise forged new ways of thinking about obesity early on in her career. She was the first to proclaim that obesity was caused by the lack of dietary fats and the wrong kind of carbohydrates in her book Beyond Pritikin, published in 1988. In Beyond Pritikin, she predicted that the fat-free, carb-rich diet was creating weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue and diabetes.

Today, she continues to dedicate herself to carving out new landmarks in holistic health and healing based on science and ancient healing arts. Through her many books, website, and blog (Dr. Ann Louise’s Edge on Health), Dr. Ann Louise offers a “virtual” health support system for men and women that provides educational and self-health assessment services to empower people everywhere to achieve total health. Her latest book, a companion to the bestselling Fat Flush Plan, was released in December 2009. Fat Flush for Life, takes a seasonal approach to burn stubborn body fat all year long, integrating groundbreaking new Fat Flush diets with corresponding fitness and wellness programs.

Reviews

[Duh]

This is a well constructed explanation of the many threats to our immune system, organs and general health. Suggestions are made on how to zero-in on the parasitic and pathogenic invaders, how to counter attack and establish long-term defenses to prevent future attacks.

After having family members that have had some pretty severe problems invovling the colon etc. I could see the value in this book. It's a lot of stuff to deal with though at once. I tend to like books that ease me into the changes I need to make. It definitely made me want to check out some probiotics more. Oh and it answered the old question of why we have floaters and sinkers. Hasn't everyone wanted to know that? :)

Not as well documented as I would have liked or as thoroughly reasoned out as I prefer, making it so I question some of the recommendations, but the scientific explanations behind the plan were still helpful to me. I've found many of the elements of the plan recommended in different places and have long been following some of them. It was useful to see most of it pulled together here with an explanation behind why they should be part of a complete gut flush plan.

I loved this book. I think there are some great suggestions and commentary that I found really useful. Initially I was concerned that some of the content might be out of date, (I just read it) but I found it to be really interesting material.

This book had some great suggestions that I need to start doing.
