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.”
—Eldon Taylor, PhD, author of What If? and What Does That Mean?
“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.”
—Sarma Melngailis, author of Living Raw Food and owner of Pure Food
and Wine and One Lucky Duck
“I very much like Detox Your World. It is practical, detailed, warm,
enthusiastic, and just plain true. Some books brighten your day; here’s
one that will brighten your whole life.”
—Andrew Saul, author of Doctor Yourself and creator of
DoctorYourself.com

To our beautiful planet, Gaia.
May you splash, glow, and expand
with us into the new dimension. Without you,
we couldn’t have practiced so hard at getting
love right. Thank you for your patience.
Acknowledgments
Ruth Allen. Your hugs, comforting words, and wisdom stop me in my
tracks. Your necessity to dye all your clothes and hats purple and your
strange use of language make me laugh like nothing else. Laughter is the
best medicine, so confers this Doxtor.
To my darling daughter, Evie Popple Cake. Unconditional love is
nothing compared to what you’ve taught me, you clever thing. Now can
I unwrap myself from your little finger, please?
To all my family, especially Mum, Dad, Jennie, and my nephews. I
know I don’t need to express how much I love you here, as we all feel it
in our hearts—but you’ve got it anyway! Thank you for all your support
and help. You’re soooo special and always seem to be there when I need
you. How does that happen?
To Sharon, Hayley, Sean, Jatinder, Rochelle Von Rockstar, Adam
(revel in paradise), and everyone else in my soul family. With this much
light, there’s no need for mirrors.
Great thanks also go to the people who supplied testimonials. The
proof of your puddings will help so many others eat.
To Karen Arnott, Lisa Currants, and Lisa Renny. Thank you for helping
me become all-woman in your own special ways.
To my New World Reorder ladies: Gru, Queen Victoria, Julie, Pandora
the Explorer, and Rooth. Nice that the throne’s this big, isn’t it?
Special gratitude to David Wolfe for your total commitment for a
better world, and the magic you spread through your open-hearted love.
To Joe, for showing me the Best way! José, eres un hombre muy
único!
To all my teachers, lovers, haters, and customers, you shining lights!
Bless you all for being around at exactly the right times, proving that
time bends to suit, when you want it enough.
Without the reference of many books, websites, and lectures, I would
still be drowning in ill health. For this reason, I thank all the
contributors to this book, all information givers, and all light bearers
from the bottom of my heart.
Special thanks go to my proofreaders: Debbie Garcia, Karen Arnott,
Ruth Allen, and Jatinder Daniels; my original editor, David Smith; my
American editor, Anne Connolly; and the folks who shared their success
stories: Arlyn Grant, Jatinder Daniels, Jay Banks, Michele Déradune, and
Tony Thorpe.
And most of all, to you, for begging me to write this, for stumbling
upon it, or just for holding it in your hands right now. Thanks for loving
yourself enough to read and use the information within these pages.
