Additional Praise for Detox Your World
Detox Your World is a book that will change your life, and Shazzie is an absolute marvel of a model for the message. Energetic, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and looking years younger than she really is, Shazzie delivers her proven methods to promote wellness and the fountain of youth. This book will challenge you, but I promise the challenge is worth rising to.

When Shazzie visited my restaurant, Pure Food and Wine, in New York City, I felt as if I were meeting a long-lost sister. She has that kind of warm and welcoming presence. Detox Your World is full of unique yet practical tips and beautiful recipes to make the whole world glow with health.

Foreword
Have you ever walked into someones home and found stuff everywhere? Stuff on the counters, stuff on the tables, stuff in the cabinets, stuff in the closets, and loads of stuff in the refrigerator! This is an outward sign that this person also has too much stuff inside his or her stomach, intestines, fat cells, and colon!
When there is too much stuff around it is time to detox your world.
In Detox Your World, Shazzie presents an overall strategy for getting rid of excess stuff: excess food, excess toxins, excess chemicals, and excess behaviors. Shazzie shows us how to open all the exits so that we can comfortably and controllably eliminate all our stuff.
Detox Your World presents a wide variety of health ideas from which to draw upon. In a gentle, attractive way, Shazzie presents us with tools (not rules) with which to transform our health, appearance, and outlook on life. Shazzie includes information as diverse as oxygen therapies, ionic minerals, and raw food nutrition, thus bringing us the leading edge. She also presents a wonderful array of resources, turning us on to so many new books and health products.
