What People are Saying:
"Your cleansing diet book has given us a miracle. A heart specialist had diagnosed Gerald with clogged arteries. Gerald did the Lemonade Diet from the "Cleansing or Surgery" book for 10 days. Then he returned to the doctor. His clogged arteries were clear - no surgery, drugs, or other treatment was necessary. Praise the Lord." D.B., Ohio
