The first book by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady--the five-time Super Bowl champion.

Created by Traditional Naturopath Leonard Mehlmauer (ND, ret.) in 1975, The GREAT Liquid Diet has been used to help many patients, friends, students, colleagues and family. The basic principle is "less is more!" By reducing the food processing work of the mouth, stomach and bowel, much bodily energy is freed up for purification. In health as in life, purification is the name of the game.Their high natural nutrient content make pure raw foods healthier than cooked. Cooking loses many nutrients. Raw or cooked, solid foods take much energy for mouth and stomach to break down--and the bowel to process. By blending the (mostly) raw GLD foods, we get the nutrients--while the blender and juicer do the chewing--saving MAJOR energy for the all-important purification! But the good stuff doesn't end there. Most of us don't eat all-raw--or even hi-raw (>80%). The GLD takes GMO, pesticides, and other modern dangers into account--a major part of its success. It gets better. Nearly 5 decades (since 1972) of clinical and personal work provides the practical, realistic details of how the GLD applies in your life (GLDLifestyle).After seeing literally hundreds of cases of chronic disease healed or helped, we know the power of the GLD to change lives for the better. Weight loss, pain removal, beating drugs, longevity, youthful appearance--mere side-effects of this simple, gentle and amazing purification program. Children, the elderly--virtually anyone can do the GLD. Are you ready? Welcome!
