Clean: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself provides a complete, harmless, and medically-proven program that can possibly be completed amidst your hectic life.
Just like global warming, this knowledge is only starting to dawn on us, but is still being denied or ignored. But, the good news is that we are equipped with the knowledge needed to eliminate and neutralize these toxins, even the most recent ones. If the right circumstances are created, and these toxins are cleansed, the results are powerful. We will reclaim the capability to heal ourselves, revitalize, regenerate, and rejuvenate.
With Clean, Dr. Alejandro Junger, a cardiologist and among the best in the field of integrative medicine, offers leading medical breakthrough. He stipulates that almost all of these common diseases are a direct result of toxic build-up in our systems that have been accumulated through our lives. As the toxicity of the modern day increases and disturbs our system frequently, bombarding us by our sedentary lifestyle and chemical-filled environment, our capability to handle these loads has not accelerated within the same pace.
Clean basically provides tools that are needed to support and regain a detoxification system with the opportunity to be incorporated into a hectic schedule. This book provides a program that is available for everyone. There are three key elements in Clean, which are Remove, Restore, and Rejuvenate.
In the book, it stipulates that if you “Remove” the barriers to health, then you “Restore” the nutrients needed, the body will heal and repair itself of numerous upsetting symptoms that we handle daily. But, the results of skillful and safe detoxifying go even further. The body then “Rejuvenates” itself, and healthy well-being will then be acquired.
In general, clean helps through decreasing digestive workload so that detoxification can fully occur. It relieves digestion through giving two liquid meals in a day, and a solid variety in between, getting rid of allergens and mucus-forming food, freeing up more and more energy.
Aside from that, clean protects you from the damaging effect of re-circulating toxins. By the time digestion slows down, the detoxifying signals go off and trapped toxins are then released back. In addition, it also promotes gut repair, delivers all the particular liver detoxifying nutrients which protect you from stage 1 and stage 2 imbalances, another circumstance that could make you feel more noxious during colon cleanse.

THIS BOOK AND THIS PROGRAM HAS CHANGED MY LIFE~
Finally a program that makes sense….a program that works…..a program that is doable……a doctor who really cares!!
After reading CLEAN I knew this program was for me…..I had been living “unclean” for a few years and abusing my body with fast food….sugary food….and toooo many medications!!
DR. Junger gave me the strength to take control of my life by making a committment to live his program and to change my life.
After 4 weeks on the Elimination Diet I can’t begin to explain my transformation….I have been juicing…smoothie”ing” and eating from the recipes in the book. Not only my body but also my mind has been transformnd. I feel like my “old self”!! I am happy healthy and vibrant….I feel empowered by Dr. Junger’s program…. and that feeling has given me the strength…to taper of my meds….eat healthy….sleep SOUNDLY and FINALLY feel happy as opposed to feeling depressed.
THANK YOU Dr. Junger!!!
Can’t wait to start the kit
This is a great book!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
There’s such a mess of information out there. This plan is practical and logical, and you might think obvious but I hadn’t even realized how far astray I had gone from balanced nutrition, this plan brings authentic eating into focus and makes it clear cut.
I have done the eating plan which is VERY easy and compared to plans touted as weight loss this one will bring you to your desired weight and with the improved eating habits it gives the impetus to stay healthy and not return to old bad habits. I have felt better than ever eating this way. There’s no deprivation or measured quantities. It’s all healthy easily digestible food choices which has also promoted energy and overall positive well being and ease. The recipes in the back of the book are excellent and there is a support forum online for following the plan that is also excellent for getting desired results and overcoming related personal obstacles.
Dr. Junger’s CLEAN program changed my life!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I would highly recommend Dr. Junger’s Clean program to anyone interested in understanding the powerful interplay between nutrition and disease, and how detoxification can help put them on the path to long-term health and well being. Having studied the benefits of cleansing/detoxification for many years, I read Dr. Junger’s book and completed his three-week cleanse in August, 2009. The program, with its Elimination Diet, combines simplicity and balanced nutrition — strengthening our body’s ability to rid itself of toxins, repair, and regenerate the gut and biological terrain, while providing the nutritional support necessary to prevent low blood sugar and hunger. The book is an invaluable reference for understanding the science and history behind cleansing, and the patient case studies and Dr. Junger’s own health journey are informative and relatable.
Dr. Junger’s Clean program has been absolutely life-changing for me. Not only have I lost stubborn pounds and rid myself of intestinal and digestive issues, but I have developed a new relationship with food, which I would not have previously thought possible. I feel fantastic, and I look forward to my next cleanse in a few months.
Physicians have a buzz about this book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I brought the book–read the entire book. I’ve also purchased other books on the topic but never completed the entire book–I would check out somewhere between why and how!–Not so with CLEAN. Dr. Junger’s message is clear, authentic and with a simplified program that captured me. I am on the ED phase right now and plan to start the 21 day program the day following Thanksgiving. It is an odd occurence that this book has inspired me to prepare myself and start prior to the holiday season–I don’t and won”t wait until Jan 2 to get CLEAN. I love the title–it’s perfect! I feel energized by the blogging and videos attached to CLEAN.
My hairstylist in Chicago told me about the book–the salon is hyped and several folks have finished the program–her sister is a cardiologist in Philadelphia and recommended the book– An internist in Chicago also heard about the book and started the program herself–she’s recommending it to her pts.
CLEAN is for everyone!
Transformation of Body, Mind & Spirit!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book and it’s contents have changed my life. On the sixth day of the Clean program, I felt energy I hadn’t felt in years. Dr. Junger communicates the information in an approachable and interesting way, and inspires you to get started. I did the Clean program by the book, did not do the kit…and I felt such amazing results…still doing it, as a matter of fact, because I don’t want to stop feeling this way. I have lost weight, my skin glows, I jump out of bed in the morning and my mind is clear. I’ve never been this person. Buy it! Buy it now! Your body, your health, your mind, your spirit, all deserve the small price of this book.
Life-changing
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Read this book and follow the Clean Program, and you may find it changes your life and your health, or at least, your relationship with food. I was thrilled to find Clean, which clearly explains why we need to detox and how to do it easily and effectively, as well as telling the story of Dr Junger’s own illness that led him to develop the Clean Program. It was highly consistent with work I was already doing with a naturopath (which had reduced my blood pressure by 40 points without drugs); it seemed like a natural extension to try Dr Junger’s recommendations. For me, the benefits have included deeper sleep, higher energy, lower blood pressure, blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol, no sinus allergies (completely gone!), and 24 lbs weight loss, as well as brighter eyes and clearer, smoother skin (aged 56) and increased serenity. I believe Clean provides a tool to manage my health and weight for the rest of my life. There’s also a very lively web community for the program, which is a huge help in understanding and getting through the cleanse; Dr Junger and his team play an active role in this community, answering questions and offering support and advice, and are deeply committed to helping people succeed. I highly recommend this book, and the Clean Program, for anybody who wants to improve and take control of their health.
My new Bible

This book has truly changed my life. It has pretty much become my bible for living and eating.
Get Clean
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Although this content might have been better organized, it offers to the busy individual a program that will allow improved diet allowing detoxification.
Dr Junger points us in the direction of functional medicine to free us from “Big Pharma”. Health is freedom and worth the investment.
Interesting Read at the very least
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I’m on day 3 of the Clean program, and so far so good. The lunches fill me up and the smoothies are honestly delicious. This morning I had the Mango and Coconut milk smoothie.
Its hard to say what results I’ll have since its still early, but I seem to have lost 2 pounds already, so that’s great.
The book is very interesting on its own, even if you don’t end up doing the program, you’ll learn a lot about our bodies and how the outside world affects you. It’s a quick read, mostly because Dr. Junger uses a great mix of scientific explanation and personal anecdotes that keep it interesting.
If you read 1 book in your life to restore your natural state of health – READ THIS ONE!
). So the question is, are you ready?! This is truly a valuable book and can totally shift your body and mind and this in turn will no doubt have positive and lasting effects on your relationships and how you live in the world. Sounds funny, but for me, getting “CLEAN” gives me great peace inside and I think especially during these days, it is one of the most precious things. I look forward to more information from Dr. Junger and want to be part of this CLEAN REVOLUTION that he is no doubt leading!

For the past 20 years, I have been a true seeker on living a holistic life, reading many, many books on the subject of diet, healing, detoxing, raw foods etc. I was so excited to learn this book was being published and it certainly did not disappoint! Alejandro has been able to cover key points on the subject of healing and detox with great clarity while still offering a huge range of information. He makes it easy and accessible. It’s like you read this and KNOW the ANSWERS are HERE! Everyone needs to read this book but beware – it will change your life (and you will have to change
Fantastic and Simple
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book is fantastic for first time detox-ers. It is safe and delivers results. Most importantly, this book will give you the education you need to understand why detox is real.
You MUST read this book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book is a must-have for anyone looking to take their health into their own hands. Dr. Junger explains the need for detox, the different types of detox available, and lays out a comprehensive program that’s easy to follow and actually enjoyable to do. He backs up everything he’s saying with scientific explanations that are written in a way the average reader can still understand them. Most importantly, it works! I’ve seen people improve before my eyes on this program.
I am 1/3 of the way through my first detox with this book, and I plan to incorporate a lot of the health tips into my every day life, repeating the detox every few months or once a year to keep myself in optimum health.
actually works- smart, radical and practical
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I find Dr. Junger’s approach to be both innovative and also grounded in good science. I work in the “new age” field and am married to a pediatrician, so I am surrounded by both hard science/medical types and all kinds of “lefties”. Over the years I have had a number of health issues and have explored nearly every diet regimen and treatment avenue- ayurveda, chinese medicine, naturopathy- the list goes on.
Dr. Junger approaches the topic of integrative health honestly and intelligently. I follow the program (or at least I have been for the past month or so) and I am getting really good results. For me that is the measure of a good “self-help” book.
Clean is grounded both in his training as a physician and also his experience as a human being and someone who has gone through the process he’s writing about. It’s also easy to read- its written in a conversational tone.
Phenomenal Book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I found this to be a truly wonderful book as well as a very important resource. It allows the reader the opportunity to really learn about, and take responsibility for, their own health. Dr. Junger looks at medicine and health not from the ‘after fact’ of how to heal—but from the more sensible and practical position of “how to prevent” illness in the first place. His exceptional intelligence and the depth of knowledge that he brings to the layman is extraordinary.
And, most important the after effect is simply feeling wonderful. I feel very fortunate that I found this book and his work.
To A Tee
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
In my avid and voracious desire to not only understand my body’s work/energy and the fuel that makes it go, I found Dr. Jungers philosophy the most natural and well suited from his heavily eastern leanings to his focus on modern agricultural indecencies and then on digestion and chewing.. all in all a perfect path for the most natural human to carve out… this is, of course, in addition to his perfectly directed 21-day clean program. Love following you on Twitter Dr. Junger, thanks for all the insight. I do believe you’ve gotten it right.
Clean makes lots of sense
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have read this book (and I have to say that I am not into Detox…) and at the beginning I thought this would be just another trendy book and no more than that, but for some reason I got attached to it and I simply loved it. The reasons? Because it made me understand the way my body works, what is important to watch, and how to take care of it and all through a holistic perspective. That for me was real value.
I found Dr Junger’s metaphors very effective to describe and turn complex concepts into simple words. I might have listened to some of these important ideas before, but I was never able to paid attention to them until now. I have also changed many of my daily habits in a significant way. Knowledge is power and this book made a difference to me. As a bonus, I finally got to comprehend the different detox techniques and its implications AND probably most important, to understand why many of the regular doctor’s practices are not effective at all. A must read!
Really miraculous
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this book and read it with a healthy dose of skepticism. I knew, however, not far into it, that I was onto something special. I started the Clean about 3 or 4 weeks after I bought the book. I am on Day 11 (of 21), using the Clean Kit. I have lost 9 pounds in 11 days, I feel terrific, and everyone I run into comments on how great my skin and eyes look. I couldn’t be more pleased.
overrated
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I don’t know what all the fuss is about this book. It is rather hastily written down, lacks references or research to back up certain claims and is rather superficial about the whole topic of nutrition. I am surprised that it is written by a physician. There’s basically nothing new about it and I felt a bit cheated about having bought just another book that basically tells me to eat loads of fruit and veggies and to eliminate caffein and alcohol. Maybe to appear “revolutionary”, Junger names those foods he wants to see eliminated from any detox diet such as grapes or bananas without ever giving any reasons for this, while meat is not eliminated – a bit strange. What’s wrong with organic grapes? Bananas contain important minerals and are very filling – not bad in a detox programme. Meat is difficult to digest – so generally not adviced in a detox. The book is badly structured and the recipe section is very short too. There are far better books on nutrition on the market such as Sevran-Schreiber’s Anti-cancer-diet, which is excellent – personal and scientific at the same time.
Amazing
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have done stricter juice cleanses in the past, but didn’t want to starve or be super crabby for a whole week again so I decided to give a milder nutritional cleanse a shot. I am pretty toxic and have developed bad allergy and digestive issues. Even though I am in great shape and eat a very healthy mainly vegan diet I struggle with my weight and stomach issues. The plan is really reasonable, never left me hungry, and has great recipes included. Within the first week I had loads of energy and my allergies symptoms were completely gone!! I feel so good I do not plan on straying far from this way of eating and will be doing this clease again. The book is easy to read and has great information on why we need to cleanse and how it works. I definately recommend this book.
