These two books promise to cure any ills by ridding our bodies of impurities, in much the same way that traveling medicine shows did in days gone by. Hendler s book repackages the same lists of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and seaweeds that he used in the Oxygen Breakthrough ( LJ 4/15/89), only this time he uses these substances to purge the body of addictions and obesity. Chaitow s Body/Mind Purification Program is well-illustrated and includes tests for readers to determine their level of toxicity. Chaitow s British accent contrasts nicely with Hendler s California style, and it may be a relief for some to know that our British cousins are at least as toxic as we are. The cornerstone of Chaitow s program is a ten- or 30-day detox regimen. His fruit and vegetable diets offer nothing more than dozens of other diets now available. Both of these books may appeal to a group of patrons that physicians would classify as "the worried well." Most libraries can safely skip these without having a gap in their health collection.
