I just received this book today, and looking through it, it looks like it has a LOT of very useful info! BUT I'm disappointed in the HUGE DARK GRAY WATERMARK ACROSS EVERY SINGLE PAGE. This watermark has the publisher's logo and name, obscures the printing and makes the book hard to read. It is dark gray, 4 inches long, 1/2 inch tall, and is diagonal across the middle of every page. I understand if they wanted to keep people from copying the book, but isn't there technology to make the watermark lighter and have it show up dark in a photocopy (like the background of a paycheck does)?
I give the book itself 4.5 stars, but knocked it down to 3.5 because I'm having so much trouble even reading it. Very frustrating, I wonder if the author knows what's being done to his book?
Bottom Line: If you can get past the watermark problem, this is a good book to have.
UPDATE on 09/03/2012: I have now read more of the book and can make further comments.
PROS:
1) There really is SO much useful info in this book (just look at the table of contents!). It's nice to have so much information in one place. I learned a lot that I didn't already know, especially about my body's lymphatic system, just what bile is, and what the gall bladder does. I'm glad he included info on the liver/gall bladder flush.
2) I love that the author tells us honestly how Hepatitic C is transferred and NOT transferred. I am so sick of the mis-information in a lot of books and on the internet. This author states directly you CANNOT get Hep C from any activity that does not involve transfer of blood. End of story. Thank You Mr. Oyakhire.
3) There are MANY more pros, too many to list, the book is packed with information!
CONS:
1) No index. This book is so dense, it is screaming for an index, and I love an index. It's the first thing I look for in any non-fiction book.
2) The book is full of typos, but I can forgive those to get all of this great info, all except one. On page 101 we have this sentence: "Starches do not combine well with meats, so meats should be eaten with rice, potatoes, or bread." Obviously this should read "should NOT be eaten with...". This typo changes the entire meaning, and if someone is not paying close attention they may not catch it, and could eat a food combination that causes further harm to their body and liver.
3) And speaking of meat, the author provides a section of 42 recipes for healthy eating, with 20 of these recipes containing meat. Then AFTER the recipe section, there is a section going into great detail about how eating meat is bad for our livers. Huh? Then if you are going to include meat recipes, maybe the "meat is bad" disclaimer should come BEFORE the recipes. Or better yet, have more healthy recipes that don't include meat.
4) One of the recipes calls for Tuna. I recently had a job working in a laboratory testing Tuna for Mercury, and I can honestly tell you that 75% of the Tuna I tested had more than the legal limit of Mercury (more than 1ppm). Tuna is a very large fish, lives a long time and therefore has a lot of time to accumulate Mercury in its body, Mercury that it gets from the pollution we dump into the ocean. NO-ONE should eat Tuna! Especially someone with liver disease. Mercury is a heavy metal that builds up in your body, it does not go away, and it attacks your nervous system among other things.
5) I'm glad there's a list (on page 158) of things to avoid in order for my liver to heal, but I have an inquiring mind and I want to know WHY to avoid them. Especially the rubbing alcohol. I looked online and cannot find any reference as to why I should avoid this. I can only assume that it's because it's so volatile and breathing any chemical is bad for my liver.
Another bottom line: I AM glad I bought this book, it has much useful information and I've learned a lot from it. I can tell that the author is passionate about the topic and put a lot of work into this. I definitely think the book is worth buying! :-)

I was born to a mom with HBV which makes me a chronic carrier. Last two years my liver enzyme rates would flare up from time to time, but always just slightly above the normal level. In the beginning of April, I found myself very tired , no appetite and slightly jaundiced. I went to my doctor and results came out 2 weeks later were alarming. AST almost 1K and ALT over 1.5k and viral load was beyond possibility of measurement. I thought the traditional treatment was the only way. After lots prayers and researches, all directions pointed to this book. I began to follow Dr. Oyakhire recommendations in the beginning of May and increasingly taking different herbs, intensifying exercises, changing diet, liver and colon cleansing, etc. Meanwhile learning from other books. Seven weeks later, on June 21, the first miracle: seroconversion of HBe to negative. Sept. 18th test results showed more miracles, both AST and ALT are in the normal rates, i.e. under 40; viral load slightly above 10K IU.
I also recommend other books: Prescription for Natural Cures: A Self-Care Guide for Treating Health Problems with Natural Remedies Including Diet, Nutrition, Supplements, and Other Holistic Methods; Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements; The First Year---Hepatitis B: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed.
For herbs: Himalaya Herbal Healthcare LiverCare/Liv.52, Liver Support, 180Vcaps; brands like Swanson; FoodNOW. I won't buy anymore from Jarrow Formulas since it's just a distributor with a very limited in-house scientific team.
For this book I bought KINDLE edition and has lots typos.
