Robert O. Young | Shelley Redford Young
1 The Book is Beyond 5 Stars
The pH Miracle is an expression of Dr. Robert and Shelley Young's core courage of certitude. They know what causes sickness and disease and they know what causes healthy, energy and vitality. You do not get sick and tired you do sick and tired. You do not get healthy and fit you have to do healthy and fit. The old paradigm of sickness and disease is a scientific illusion. The new paradigm of health teaches us that sickness, disease, heatlh and energy are a matter of choice. We are free to choose for ourselves which is our God given right. But we cannot choose our consequences. There is no free agency in consequence, only in choice. This is the first law of the universe -- the law of duality. We can choose love or we can choose hate. We can choose peace or we can choose war. We can choose light or we can choose darkness. We can choose health or we can choose sickness. And we can choose life or we can choose death. The ph Miracle and The pH Miracle for Diabetes teaches us this law of choice and the Young's share with us the truth about how to make the right choices. If we follow the principals outlined in their books their can be only one outcome -- incredible outstanding energy and health. I am certain about this because I have experienced the consequeces of my good choices of incredible outstanding health and energy. Thank you Young's for your courage to stand up with courage and certitude to finally share with the world the truth about how to have, keep and hold on to incredible outstanding health, energy and fitness.
2 Health 2 You
The book brings Light to those who have been unknowingly in the dark about the food pyramid, what's healthy and what's not. Generations of "good" food choices promoted by the food industry, the medical profession and the diet-gurus has only lead to ill-health and with The pH Miracle one can now determine one's own health direction. Having applied the principles of Dr. Young's research found within his book, I no longer need thyroid meds after 25 years of challenges with thryoid dis-ease and radio-active iodine treatment. It's been a God-send for me and now my son has also benefited from reading The pH Miracle and applying it to his life.
3 The pH Miracle and The pH Miracle for Weight Loss
With six books on the market, Dr. Robert O. Young and His wife, Shelley Redford Young, have established themselves as the preeminent scientific researchers on how to balance your body chemistry and achieve your ideal healthy weight. Every African-American and African-Caribbean or persons suffering from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, obesity, overweight, underweight, hypertension, cancer, AIDS, and heart disease or who may have been reared on "soul food" need to discover The pH Mriacle, The pH Miracle for Diabetes and their latest book The pH Miracle for Weight Loss and the rejuenating recipes to alkalize and energize an over acidified diet. I have made this revolutionary dietary paradigm shift an official part of my professional ministry. With the Young's New Biology and nutrition program, pastors, and congregations will rediscover the miraculous link between health and spirituality.

4 This book can change your life
One of the reviewers here questioned the "junk" science invoked in the book, and questioned the motives of the authors since they market products based on the recommendations in the book.
Baloney. This is anything but a "magic pill", as the reviewer suggests. It is a change in your life, and for the better. It's not easy, especially if you love food like I do, and who doesn't love food?
But we've been sold down the river, as a nation and a people, by the greed of food conglomerates who saturate our foods with garbage: sugar, additives, fillers, clogging and poisoning foods. All so they can increase their profits.
There's a better way: a way to improve your zest for life, live longer, cure yourselves of maladies, and all you have to do is throw away all the damn drugs and pills and other, true "pseudo-science" stuff being hawked every day in magazines and on tv and in newspapers and on the radio and just READ ONE BOOK: this one!
It will change your life as it's changing mine.
In the face of skeptics and cynics, I can only say my wife and children and I began this program after stumbling on the book in a book store, and I have had incredible results. The kids (two teenagers!) have jumped into this discipline (with the family pulling together it's fun and easy to do)and now take fresh green salads and quinoa and soaked almonds and such, based on Dr. Young's book, to school. They help us make dinner each night. We have terrific family meals together. And we all feel great.
I've been plagued with sugar cravings, candidiasis, constipation, mood swings, depression and other systemic maladies for decades. When I embraced the suggestions in this book, I had the following short term results (this review is written about 6 weeks after I did a colon cleanse with my wife, then, after finding the book two days later in the bookstore, we started to change our diet to conform to the guidelines in Ph Miracle).
* I lost 15 pounds without any exercise at all. (I was about 25 lbs. overweight: not fat, but just soft and getting paunchy; tired looking all the time; low energy too much of the time. I lead an active life as a photographer but was finding it more and more difficult to get going. I also spend a lot of time on computer with digital images and as an author, so it's harder to make myself exercise)
* My bowels have been consistently regular...until I "slip" and have some sweets or eat something that is acidifying instead of alkalizing. Then I bind up again almost immediately.
* My skin rashes on my arms and back are clearing up
* I truly love and relish the food we eat, thanks to the detailed suggestions and terrific recipes in the book. Instead of cereal, eggs and bacon, toast and jam, and orange juice that I used to consider indispensable to a "healthy" breakfast, I'm now eating things like cooked buckwheat groats with fresh avocado, tomato, soaked and chopped almonds, and one of the sesame oil/lemon juice/tahini dressings mentioned in the book, and this meal sustains me well into mid afternoon, with no post-sugar or post-caffeine crash, because I don't take in those physiological pollutants any longer.
I expect to feel a whole lot better in 6 months, but meanwhile, I felt, as I prepare to turn 60 next week, that I was starting the long slide toward incapacity, declining physical health, and death. Now, 6 weeks later, I am feeling like my old, youthful, energetic self again.
You are what you eat. There are so many delicious foods in here that it will amaze you. Plus when you get off the sugar/meat/acid foods, everything, I mean everything, tastes better.
I used to hate cucumbers. Now I eat them like I used to eat apples or oranges. And I don't get a manic rush afterwards.
This is a great book and once you read the author's theses, based on 20 years of research (he's a microbiologist), you'll ask yourself whether it's worth remaining a creature of habit...and watching your health go slowly down the toilet, the way I was watching mine.
Good health!
5 I suffered from lifetime allergies and GERD!
I was turned on to this book by a friend a little more than a year ago after the doctor told me I needed to start taking the 'purple' pill for GERD. I did the 'all-veggie' thing for two months (January and February of last year as my New Year's resolution) and immediately made a big difference in my life. I enjoy steak and lobster but I also enjoy vegetables which I would never have even heard about before. I suffered so long from allergies and the mere fact that they are now gone is proof enough for me, no matter what the doubters say. Also, I have not had one single case of GERD since I started (I use to average twice a week for two months). My friend credits beating cancer to this diet. You will not need to buy Viagra if you are on this diet as the energy increase is incredible, and I didn't even do the Supergreens (which I DO plan to start doing asap). My children are affected positively by this as well. If they can enjoy this food, everyone can. They get cookies but only after their veggies and they are fine with that. Everyone always asks us how we keep our weight so well and we explain to them the PH thing. We have converted quite a few people and they are experiencing loads of benefits as well. We even grow a few of our own vegetables and I wish we had the time to grow even more.
The FDA is not interested in our health, so don't trust them as your source of dietary guidelines (which are a joke). Read and follow the basics in this book at the very least, it will change your life. One last thing, I DO NOT follow this book religiously, but the little changes that I have done over the last year and few months, will surely give me years back to my life.
6 I DID lower my cholesterol without chaning my diet
I read this book at advice of a friend. I sort of bought into it but thought it was a bit extreme. I had been really tired and just lost 2 babies so I was up for feeling better. My friend told me to do nothing buy try the SuperGreens listed in the book along with the PH drops. So I did. My energy went up immediately. I kept my diet the same (wine, beef, chicken, you name it). I started feeling better but just thought my depression had lifted. Well, 4 months later, I went to my MD. I had a BMI test done that also includes cellular health. I had my blood lipids run. When I got the results back, I was ASTOUNDED and so were my doctors. My total cholesterol dropped 57 points (I am only 39, in fairly good shape, size 8 and have NEVER had a cholesterol level below 210). The check I did in august 04 was 233 total cholesterol. The test last month: 176. All I did differently was drink supergreens 2 times per day with PH drops. All of my lipids lowered including my C-Reactive Protein. My cell health went WAY up, my BMI went down, i lost 16.8 pounds of fat without losing any muscle. I will share my reports with you and my doctors comments if you like. I got so excited, i signed up to distribute the product so i could get the discount. I have 22 of my friends and family on supergreens. My mom says her energy is great (she is 72 and obese). Contact me if you want details of my story and on the SuperGreens. Read the book if you like or contact me for some highlights first. I don't know if this is the answer to everything, but it is the answer to alot of things. I was so skeptical before but not anymore. This has made me WANT to start cleaning up my diet in addition to supergreens and I am well on the way. Take baby steps and start with their supergreens. contact me for a free sample.
7 It Works!
I reluctantly followed Dr. Young's pH Miracle program and in 1 month my cholesterol dropped 67 points and my HDL's went over 60, 35 lbs. dropped off my body, I passed kidney stones I didn't even know I had and I started waking up at 4:00 am with tremendous energy. There were other positive changes as well. I agree with Anthony Robbins, "Anyone who takes the time to understand Dr. Young's principles and apply them will experience a revoluton in their health." This has been my experience.
8 The pH Miracle
The pH Miracle is an incredible wealth of information. I was introduced to it through the supplements Dr Robert O. Young speaks of. Three days after starting the supplements my childhood allergies were gone. This led me to investigate more and apply his New Biology. Applying it has let me enjoy no more asthma, tendonitis, and no colds in two years when everyone around we was getting sick. I have never felt better and had more energy than when following this program. If you are experiencing any health challenges then you owe it to your self to fully investigate this program. If you want to take responsibility for your health this is the program to show you what good health truly feels like. I truly believe that Dr. Robert O. Young will win a Nobel Prize for his contributions and will be the one my daughter's children learn about in school. This program has led me to a new career as a Microscopist trained by Dr Young educating and coaching those who want to follow this program. I have not seen this program fail but I have seen people fail the program.

9 Review by a ph Miracle
I read this book in about 2 days, immediately started applying the principles, and immediately started seeing phenomenal results. This IS the key to health. In my case, I have lost 130 pounds to this date, and have gone from a 48 inch to 36 inch waist(and shrinking). My wish for all is that you too may reclaim your inner terrain! I have benefited so greatly from this program. For me, it was rather effortless(this from someone who has done it all from optifast to atkins). This can not be called a DIEt, rather a wonderful lifestyle change. It is not about giving up those "bad" foods, it is about becoming pH balanced and those "bad" foods giving up YOU! Read the book, definitely worth it!
10 Comments by an MD who has written a textbook on acid-base
I have looked over 'The pH Miracle' and concluded that the underlying ideas are the same as those presented in another book by Dr. Young, which is titled 'Sick and Tired.' I have published a very critical customer review of this other book at its page on amazon. Readers who are considering buying 'The pH Miracle' may wish to take a look at that review; it is dated January 27, 2004.
11 Good info, but not an easy read & a drastic approach
I have been a follower of the acid alkaline diet and lifestyle for 2 years now, and I can tell you from personal experience that the concepts layed out in this book work - with a few footnotes (keep reading).
I met Mr. Young in a covention a few years ago, and I must say, his presentation was quite convincing. He showed videos of actual body/blood cells changing under the microscope into other types of cells in response to a change in the blood pH. That got me hooked.
But when I picked up this book, I was a little lost. The book is not a very easy read. In a lot of spots, Mr. Young gets a little too scientific, while in other places, he doesn't give enough evidence to prove his point.
Also, the book suggests a very drastic approach of doing a "cleanse" to start off with an alkaline diet. This is pretty much a cold-turkey approach to health. In that respect, I think the advice in the book is not practical - not to mention the fact that most people get very sick during the cleanse and end up quitting alltogether.
Like anything else that you do to your body, a gradual approach is always best. I found that home study courses on
acid alkaline diets tend to be a better guide for those who want to start slowly. Not just because they give step-by-step instructions, but also because they thend to get you to an alkaline state gradually.
12 Same old pap
The value of an alkaline diet is not disputed but Mr. Young's methods and products are not the only way of achieving the desired results.
I met this author at a book signing in Honolulu and he seemed more interested in selling books and wheat grass than being open minded about other supplements. A booked called the Tao of Detox seemed more informative to me.
13 Acid Waste
I really don't like writing negative reviews, but this book is just crying out for one! I'm a nutritionist, and have seen a lot of fad diets and health claims come and go. I believe that the principle of acid-alkaline balance through diet is vitally important. However, this book does it a disservice.
First, the author strongly denounces the humble potato, which is probably the cheapest, most easily obtainable alkalizing food in the world (and is highly recommended by other authors on the subject).
Next, Mr. Young advises, as one of his primary recommendations, that we add hydrogen peroxide drops to our drinking water, in order to alkalize it. Well, I tested my H2O2 with ph test strips, and it is extremely acid (5.0 on the ph scale). Am I missing something??
The problem with so many of these health and self-help books is that the authors happen upon some program or system that works for them, and then they promote it to the world as a cure-all. Unfortunately, what works for them doesn't always work for the rest of us.
Following this book's recommendations, and buying the author's products, may help some people, but I believe they will be in the minority. If you are interested in this subject, I recommend The Acid-Alkaline Diet by Christopher Vasey, which is much more scientifically sound (and he doesn't try to sell you anything, either).
14 ZERO stars; this book is worthless
I can't fully write what I think of this book, because in the past Amazon has censored reviews that are too negative. For the reader with some science background, I'll just give one example that will illustrate the trustworthiness of this book's advice. In the chapter on water, on pp 94-95, the authors recommend drinking water whose pH has been brought to the 9-11 range by adding to it "pH drops" (hydrogen peroxide or sodium chlorite). Then they add "we like to squeeze fresh lemon or lime in our drinking water to boost its alkalizing effects." If you anything about pH, this sentence should speak volumes to you.
The book has a long list of references in the back (approximately 150 titles), including citations to many scientific papers, but IMO this list borders on fradulence. First, the citations are not keyed to the text in any way. Therefore, this list of citations could have been copied from any other book. Moreover, after reading all the titles in this list I was not able to find a single one specifically referring to alkalinization as a therapeutic or dietary practice. In other words, as far as I can tell, despite their long list of references, the authors offer no scientific support *whatsoever* for their "pH miracle". The cited titles are mostly about microorganisms, particularly fungi, and their potentially adverse effects on human health. These topics are uncontroversial, but are not the main thesis of the book. The references list includes several titles on hypercoagulability of the blood and disseminated intravascular coagulation, but there is no mention in the index of these topics. It is anyone's guess what these references are doing in the references list, other than perhaps serving as padding. As far as I can tell, the list of references is nothing more than a cosmetic sham.
Despite the fact that the book parades the scientific credentials of one of its authors, there is very little science in this book. But if you're in the market for 300 pages of new-agey, pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo, this is the book for you.
15 DANGER!!! BEWARE!!!
This book nearly killed me!!!!!! I strongly suggest that anyone who is thinking of trying this diet first consult with their doctor. I did not, and I lost too much weight, became tired, disoriented, anxious, and was unable to go to work (or pretty much anywhere else) for over two months. I had several trips to the emergency room, completely lost my appetite, and am now struggling to gain some of the weight back. This diet completely disrupted the balance in my body, my brain, not to mention my life, and it is definitely not for everyone. I'm not exactly sure who it is for, but before you jump on the Ph bandwagon, consult with someone who REALLY understands nutrition.
16 The Answer to Many Prayers and Years of My Own Research!
At last my searching, praying and studying have brought me to the definitive program for reclaiming my health! And for all you naysayers out there-if you really read & studied the book and did your own research, you'd be singing a different tune as well!Dr. Young does not claim the glory for this new biology, in fact, he credits the great European scientist Antoine Bechamp (1816-1908) along w/others for the original research and theory! One also needs to take into account that a book of this revolutionary magnitude is meant for the masses and not so much the scientic community. Dr. Young has written other books for that purpose. One also should consider that the publisher also dictates certain restrictions & guidelines i.e., length, content, etc. that the author is bound by often making it difficult to encompass everything he intended. Citing studies, research & evidence in detail in this book for the masses would not serve his purpose anyway (to reach as many people as possible who are sick and tired of being sick and tired!) You want research? You want scientic evidence & studies? Read Dr. Young's first book: "Sick and Tired"! As for the supplements, I have read the book several times & remember no mention of any specific brand names-so much for the 'greed' theory. For the rest of the grumblers and skeptics out there, I can only say, "NEXT"! As for me, I'm a 'try it and see for myself' person. Yes, I appreciate reviewing what others have to say to get a 'feel' for whether or not I want to invest my time & money in a book/program, but it rang true to my own inner light when a friend shared it with me and that's something I can trust! As for the program, I can only say WOW! The weight is melting off, the blood sugar is normal again, the blood pressure is way down and that's just for starters. Yes, it's difficult at first (I wonder how 'difficult' chemotherapy, radiation and daily insulin injections can be?), but I know I'm worth it & I want my health back more than I want a juicy steack or a glass of wine! This is not a diet, it's a life-changing experience. I predict this way of life will scare the heck out of the drug companies, insurance companies, MD's/surgeons, diet/exercise industry not to mention the beef & dairy conglomerates & frankly, I can't wait! My eternal gratitude to you Dr. Young for caring and to your wonderful wife Shelley for the fabulous recipes and dedication to helping families all over the world wean their children from dietary poisons to healthier choices.
17 An Amazing Revelation!
Follow this program and your health will improve by leaps and bounds! In fact, there is no other way to improve your overall wellness greater than adjusting the pH level of your blood.
There are certainly other areas of your health that are important such as controlling stress, proper sleep and exercise, to name a few, but by cleansing your entire system by increasing the alkalinity of your blood, you will greatly decrease your chances of contracting such debilitating diseases such as cancer and diabetes.
Although the program is difficult to conform to it exactly, I would not hesitate to follow it word for word if I had a major illness. (My guess is that I would beat whatever it was that I had!) For those of us that are generally in good health, monitoring the pH level of the foods we intake will greatly help our fight against Mother Nature. A must read.

Author of, Aging Is NOT An Option!
18 A Life Changing Book
AFter 3 1/2 weeks of following the Youngs program:
* I have lost 14 pounds
* All feelings of bloat and gas have vanished
* My energy has noticeably increased
* Every afternoon my brain got 'fuzzy' (dull, tired, hard to think) - this has entirely disappeared and I feel sharp and clear
Seeing my great results, a close friend bought the book and is trying it, too. Her results have been even better than mine, because her severe asthma has already lessened in only 10 days.
Some of the reviews here have critized the Youngs for various reasons:
First, "Those who have lost weight on the diet is almost certainly for no other reason than it has the tendency to be low in calories." Eating olive oil, avocados and nuts does NOT create a low calorie diet. Further, I have tried to lose weight in the past by cutting calories - and was spectacularly unsuccessful. We weight loss is happening because I am being cleaned from the inside out, and I can feel it clearly.
Other reviews say this book is '"dumbed down" for the masses' and others refer to it as 'junk science'. I don't need the blessing of "science" to attempt to heal myself. Are these the same experts who jeered at meditation, acupuncture and yoga? am responsible for my health, and the only authority I trust is my own body. It will give me all the feedback I need. I don't need long scientific documents, or the approval of others. As for the claim that there is nothing new about this information - that is exactly right. Acidity and alkalinity have been discussed for decades. Does this mean we can only write books on subjects that are completely new?
As for this comment: "for those of us in the real world, it's more trouble than it's worth." Gee, and all this time I thought I was in the 'real world' and yes, I agree that it's a lot of trouble. But how much trouble is it to be sick? To feel rotten? To be exhausted? To be fat? I really don't want to be one of those people who becomes seriously ill and then looks back and says, "If only I had ..."
Several reviewers criticized the Youngs for selling supplements. Isn't that the ideal work that we all wish for: to do what you love, make a contribution and be richly rewarded? Sounds ideal to me. And as for the comment that "you really can't follow their program without their products." ... absolutely not true. I haven't bought a single one of their supplements and am following their program without difficulty.
This is quite amazing: "I tried to sell the products I bought, but the prices were too high for online sales" and then this same author refers to "greed for many of the MLMers who feed from its trough." The writer admits that he failed in selling the products - yet obviously he was trying to do so. Does that mean he was greedy and trying to profit, too? Quite a contradiction.
Does this program work for everyone? I have no idea. My experience has been nourishing and enriching but we are all individuals, with different bodies and different chemistries. Personally, though, I eat in a very satisfying way, it's easy to follow the program, I feel better than I have in years and plan on living this way from now on. We must indeed listen to our own inner wisdom. Everything else is just static. If you're wondering about the merits of this, try it for a couple of weeks and let your body give you the only answer that matters.
19 A medical breakthrough? Not exactly!
The book claims to offer a "New Biology". It doesn't! What the authors have done is simply to present an old and extremely valuable principle of nutrition. The basis of the diet is that 80% of food eaten should have an alkaline effect in the body and the remaining 20% should have an acidic effect. This 80/20 ratio provides a healthy balance for almost everyone and was repeatedly advocated by Edgar Cayce and others nearly a hundred years ago.
The enthusiastic reviews that appear here are testimony to that principle. Insofar as the book brings it to public notice it provides a useful service. Because the basic principle is valuable it is tempting to assume the rest of the advice offered by the book is also. Unfortunately, it isn't. The book makes various claims which cannot be validated and which lead to a diet which is vegan with all fruit removed. This not only makes it extremely difficult to adhere to but denies what are known to be effective ways of removing toxicity from the body. Those who have lost weight on the diet is almost certainly for no other reason than it has the tendency to be low in calories.
The main criticism of the book is it's fundamental argument that health problems are caused by the body being over acidic. It goes so far as to suggest a 100% alkaline reacting diet and also advises artificially alkalising the body by taking hydrogen peroxide. The authors are on dangerous ground. Although acidity is a problem for many people, there are also conditions associated with alkalinity. These can be serious and difficult to cure. The quickest way of making such conditions worse would be to follow this advice.
20 Must Have
This book is changing my life and it is sure to change at least some of your diet if not all. I am so very grateful to Dr. Young for sharing his knowledege with the resort of the world and for his wife for sharing so many wonderful and delicious recipes.
Do yourslef and your health and big favor and get this book!! Education & knowledge on what we are putting in our bodies every day is a must!
21 A misconception about fruits
Just a clarification: The vast majority of fruits are NOT acidifying after digestion. They become so, however, if eaten along with starches, meats or vegetables, and often with other fruits. Eaten entirely by themselves, they shouldn't, in most cases, cause any problem. This is an issue that few nutritionists understand properly.
22 Not All Vegetarian Diets are Made Equal.
Please take Youngs' "The pH Miracle" program AS A WHOLE --- cleans + control + provide (please read the book for the detailed explanation and understand the whole concept). Being on a vegetarian diet does NOT necessarily mean you are on the way to a complete health, because Not All Vegetarian Diets are Made Equal, and a vegetarian diet is not necessarily the alkaline diet.
Yes, "we are all biochemical individuals". Being a biochemical individual, each one of us has weak tissue/organ unique to him/her caused by inborn/acquired factors. And that's why we need to PROVIDE our body individualized nutrients/supplements. Otherwise, you can be "nearly killed", especially if you eat a lot of NON-organic and/or ACIDIC vegetarian foods and drinks, and if you DON'T PROVIDE the nutrients for your week tissues/organs, and if you don't CLEANS.
On "The pH Miracle" program I lost more than 30 lb in the 1st 4 weeks. It's been 2 moths since I started "The pH Miracle" program and my toothache has never come back (please see my previous posting on Sept. 24, 2003). My health is now in its best state I've ever experienced.
"This is about love. It's about caring and sharing, and lifting people up, and making all of us enjoy what we are destined to enjoy, a better life, a better quality and quantity of life. We are dying too prematurely. We are dying with diseases that are based upon lifestyles." Have you heard the voice of the loving heart? If you haven't, please read the book and feel it.
"The pH Miracle" program is the wholesome, complete, natural health program that the whole world ought to follow.
23 Buy this book or borrow it --but READ it
This book is going to change a lot of people's thinking about health and nutrition. The ideas, which Dr. Young has been saying steadily for over almost 20 years in more technical, but largely unnoticed, books and lectures, are not based on any theory but on his own discoveries under the microscope in a Utah research center. They explain so many unrelated things... reversing a lot of the common diet hype out there...and put first-hand molecular science behind the claim that a plant-based diet is essential for optimal human health. Not only that, but that an over-acidified body--caused by too much "diet" food like protein, artificial sweeteners, low-fat starches and fruit (and even excess exercise!)--actually not only CAUSE protective fat layers to form, but also set up an environment that acid-producing yeast, fungi, and mold thrive in. So do all diseases including cancer, arterioscerosis, diabetes, lupis, chronic fatigue--all of them.
Dr. Young challenges even long-held cultural myths like "drink milk for strong bones" by asking where do elephants, gorillas and bears get their calcium? Then he explains in a totally rational way why humans were never meant to drink cows'--or any other species--milk. I could go on, but you won't be sorry you bought this book. Read, learn, and change your life, whether or not you take all the supplements and eat only the foods he recommends. You'll start doing some things differently, and you'll understand why.
I happened to attend one of Dr. Young's talks 10-12 years ago and knew by his quiet passion he was onto something big but it was so radical there was little media support. Now I see the likes of Tony Robbins, James Redfield, and a TV talk show host are endorsing him. The main thing is that these concepts get out there to people who are sick and tired (who isn't?) They will replace a lot of well-marketed but contradictory diet nonsense with a unifying nutrition theory that finally holds water.

25 The proof is in the pudding, err broccoli
Previous reviewers have complained that there is no documentation, that it is dumbed down etc. Well you only need to follow the advice given in this book and use your own powers of observation to see all the documentation required. It works. Plain and simple. No degree in science necessary! The interesting thing, at least for me, about an alkalizing diet is that while I went in to this diet looking to lose weight, I quickly found out how great it is to have lots of energy, both physical and mental, and it is now about being healthy (of course the weight continues to come off). Highly recommended.
26 The proof is in the results
Dr Young has proven that our diet radically affects the conditions of our blood cells and physical health. And we can reclaim our health in a healthy and safe way.
For those looking for the 'documentation' and proof of his theories, I can only say one thing - the results of people's health improving and shown in the blood cells under the microscope tells a more solid story. In fact they tell the whole story. It's not theoies that just sounds good to your ears, but does not produce result (or have side effects). Even Dr Neil Solomon from the UN says (about some of Dr Young's theories on cells) " IF I had not seen it with my own eyes (under the microscope), I would say it's scientifically impossible".
"Theories" are just useful ways of explaining why things are the way they are. Many people can come up with fancy theories, but their theories don't produce results. Look at the Atkins diet for example, great simple theory, and people DO lose weight, but they end up looking haggard and 'dried up' and unhealthy with overworked kidneys, because with that amount of protein they are taking, the body is filled with toxins, acids and they are losing water weight more than anything else.
Dr Young's theory and suggestions enables people to lose weight, reclaim their health, and many have experienced healing from several illnesses. And all that is done in a safe and healthy way.
27 Revolutionary Theory and Practice Backed by ................
The "New Biology" is a revolutionary theory that challenges the orthodox viewpoints on disease. Backed by strong evidences, scientific observations and reasoning, and Dr. Young's wisdom, the New Biology not only advocates a natural healthy lifestyle that modern lifestyle has long deviated from, but also finds solutions to people who wants to live a natural healthy lifestyle on the foods that are poisoned by such chemicals as pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, additives, etc. and whose nutritional value is greatly affected by chemical fertilizers, food processing and preservation.
I've been on the pH Miracle program for more than two weeks and I've seen improvements on my health already. I've had gingivitis for more than one year and tooth cleaning in dental clinic plus electronic toothbrush, ultrasonic inter-dental cleaning device, floss, antibiotics, etc didn't solve the problem. I was using antibiotics and going to have one of my teeth pull out again right before I started the pH miracle. A few days after on the program, my toothache is alleviated significantly and I stopped the antibiotic. And now I haven't had toothache for the past week. My gum feels and looks much healthier. The infections are gone because, according to the New Biology, my blood and tissue's pH is getting balanced by the pH Miracle program and is not suitable for the germs to grow. I've more energy and better mental clarity. I really appreciate Dr. Young's wisdom and braveness.
Some people write reviews on the book with resentments to MLM, which is NOT fair for the book, NOT fair for Dr. Young, and NOT fair for all readers. It only shows that these people's viewpoints are very biased.
Great work, Dr. Young! The world will remember your work! All the people who change their modern lifestyle to your pH Miracle lifestyle will thank you from the bottom of their heart!
28 Where's the Documentation??
When an author on a medical topic purports to offer a miracle, my antennae immediately extend. This theory reminds me of similar stuff that was popular back around the US Civil War, nearly 150 years ago and long discredited. Where is the documentation? Upon what science is this material based? We don't know, because the good doctor didn't tell us. Either we should infer that since this book is aimed at a popular audience he considers footnotes inappropriate; or, perhaps there just isn't any hard science backing this up at all?
29 Well done!
Dr Robert Young is great! His theory of Alkalize and Energize is really works!
Being a microbiologist, he spends his time looking under the microscope looking at human cells. The tremendous change of people's blood cell after they have gone on his products, especially the Prime PH, is amazing. HIs Prime PH is extremely great product!
The before and after blood test images are truly shocking to see. How our diets can drastically make the red blood cells stick together in lumps, with acid pools, no wonder those people don't feel well! Then after alkalizing just for a few days, they take a blood test again, and this time, the blood cells are rounded and healthy and alive. The cells are the bacis building block of our body, so if we give our cells a healthy environment, they will be healthy, and we will be healthy.
Your health can only be as good as the health of your cells.
I used to be plagued by stress and chronic fatigue with hay fever symptoms in the past, all that is no more! I have been on Supergreens, Prime PH, and if i run out of them, i'll be eating lots of vegetables to alkalize. I dont get the flu or 'cold' anymore. And i am full of energy! Anthony Robbins claims he energizes from Dr Young's theory and products, and look at him jump with such energy without getting tired on the stage.
If you want to know more, you should get his Powertalk interview tape with Robbins, which is available at ebay. Type "Innerlight" and the interview tapes will appear. The tapes are only [money].
30 Healthy Skepticism Is Warranted
The book is "dumbed down" for the masses, and as such the case histories read a bit naively and the science is poorly presented; you are asked to trust the authors essentially. OK, they seem like nice enough (and competent) folks. But the book is written to sell product through MLM distributors who in my experience use some questionable methods of motivating people. One kept telling me her broken back healed in 2 weeks because she took the products. And while health claims were not made, I was told the blood of a cancer patient was healing from the patterns observed; that patient's tumor markers are 5 times worse today despite alkalizing. Not to blame alkalizing, but the miracle didn't happen in this instance. The MLMers are also true believers because the science is not well documented when they present it either. I tried to sell the products I bought, but the prices were too high for online sales, so I switched to alternative products at reasonable prices. The MLMers hold conventions, and the fees for those are passed up the pyramid just like the sales of supplements. I think it's far too early to tell if alkalizing holds promise as a cure for mankind. It is the cure for greed for many of the MLMers who feed from its trough. But beware the people in the movement are Power People and if you don't defend your turf as well as your wallet and emotions, you too could get caught up with that Pie in the Sky called enthusiasm and hype. Caveat Emptor - Let the Buyer Beware.
31 Smells Like Junk Science
The authors write a very convincing book, and make numerous recommendations that sound right (like a move to a plant-based diet), but a few things concern me. First, one would assume that all of the research is primary because of the lack of sources cited. However, throughout the book, "sources" are deferred to, but simply refer to them as an expert or authority. What also concerns me is that the book is written around a single concept: eliminating the excess acid in the body. One is lead to believe that this excess of acid is the reason for all man's ills, and if the plan is followed, disease (for the most part) will be eradicated. I am weary of any single concept or magic pill (as it were) that can heal the world. Finally, I got the impression that the book was written to sell the supplements recommended. Again, I commend the authors for supporting the benefits of a plant-based diet and for providing some very tasty recipes, but I cannot recommend this book to someone truly wanting to make comprehensive changes to their diet. Without the scientific documentation, the book just smells like junk science.
32 Hard to follow
I like red meat and wine. That said, my take on this diet plan is unsatisfactory in that it is not comfortable or easy for someone like me to follow. I have a high intake of fresh fruits and especially vegetables, but this diet plan insists that you exclude red meats and alcohol of any sort. If you already follow or appreciate a vegetarian lifestyle, this plan will really appeal to you. If, like me, you truly enjoy a good steak or BBQ'd burger and wine with your dinner, you will not be able to subscribe to this plan. The research and basics of this diet are sound, but stringent. It might be okay for a few weeks and you might even lose a few pounds, but I can't help thinking that there has to be a better way. I had a good level of success with the Fat Flush diet plan and with Atkins, but I can't help but hope that there is a reasonable alternative to exreme dietary restrictions that will actually yield success. I am now trying the theory that it is okay to eat like a normal person but watch your intake amount/combined with moderate excercise as the real way to lose weight and keep it off. I like the idea that you can eat what you like, moderately, and increase you activity as the lasting method for fitness. Good Luck to all!
33 Ground breaking work
I've tried every diet out there. Candida Diet, IBS Diet, Paleo, Atkins, Vegetarian, Vegan, Fruitarian, 100% Raw Food, and so on. I found flaws with all of these diets, as you really have to rely on your own inner wisdom to be able to make these diets work. And of course, anyone who promotes such a high meat diet hasn't really done their homework.
However, Dr. Young in this pH Miracle book really opens new doors for those willing to improve their health and well being. He lays it all out to you in lay language, and gives you step by step tools on becoming well. His "Alkalarian" diet seemed flawed to me at first, because as a long time raw foodist, I saw that he recommended steaming some veggies, eating cooked grains, and cooked legumes. However, after becoming frustrated with being 100% raw, I discovered a new sense of well being on this diet. My body was craving alkalinity the whole time and according to him, fruit is to be used only for cleansing and in moderation. It was always the mainstay of my diet.
Dr. Young promotes his supplement line in the book, which is bunk, but everybody has to make a living. I understand the hardship of poverty, so I have no beef with this issue.
This diet is a cleansing, energizing diet that will open up the creativity and spirituality within you. Watch how kind and loving you become. Of course, you need to take care of the stress in your life, but this diet is the key to unlocking the doors that are keeping you from reaching higher levels of consciousness. Kudos to Dr. Young and the Alkaline diet.
34 A qualified success
At a friend's behest, I tried Dr. Young's diet. My primary motivation was weight loss. My friend had lost approximately 25 lbs. in two months. She absolutely swears by the whole theory, the products, etc. I bought some Supergreens and some Prime pH, and stuck fairly religiously to the alkalizing diet for over a month. I am still pretty much on it. Because of social obligations, I have eaten moderate size meals not conforming to the diet about 4-5 times during this period.
I like the diet, actually; I like eating all the fresh vegetables, and I like the salad dressings I have been able to put together from the Youngs' recipes. I do have more energy (though I'm not exactly leaping tall buildings), and some annoying health complaints have lessened. HOWEVER - I have not lost any weight.
Obviously, there is some reason for this. But the claims made in this book and elsewhere in Dr. Young's literature state that you WILL lose weight. The only reason for excess weight, according to Dr. Young, is an acidic environment, and fat is stored acidic impurities; - the way to get rid of the acidic environment is to go on his diet (and use his supplements.) My experience suggests that these claims are not true all the time, as he implies they are.
If I want to lose weight, I will have to try some other means, or some variant of this. If you want to lose weight, it may work for you - if you try it, I hope it does. But be advised that it may not be the weight-loss panacea it touts itself as being.
35 Living Proof Testimonial
Maybe this book isn't as technical as some would like it to be and I agree that the recommended diet is hard to follow for a lot of people on the go BUT I am living proof that Dr. Youngs program works EXTREMELY well. By following only SOME of the principles Dr. Young recommends my life has changed DRAMATICALLY. By eliminating soda, sugar and coffee(tea) and using Super Greens religously with Biolight and Prime PH I am literally a NEW person. ...WILL change your life as well!
36 A broad based health cookbook
I bought this book to read about pH and the miracle. What I got was a book of recipies using ingredients not readily available. Recipies are referenced and not listed in the index, so one must search for them. Perhaps 1/4 of the book is pertinent, the remainder is recipies i.e., healthy snacks eat 'All-Vegetable Cocktail', but in the index there is no 'All-Veg...',ad infinitum.
Maybe this is a good book for a neophyte or novice to healthy eating. I got my pH right and quickly using 'The Calcium Factor', a book half the cost of this one.
Nitrazine paper strips for tests of pH are not even mentioned for self testing, nor sourced. Organizational reference is not a high point of this book.
37 Innovative work on the fruit issue puts Young in the books..
Robert Young is sold on the fact that we need to be alkaline in order to be healthy. I'm sold too, as well as any other person who has done any research on how to be healthy.
Young seems to be a big fan of Avocados as a source of "protein" (avocado is about 4% protein). If you've done other research, you know that an Avocado is toxic to a person with Type O blood. Alkalizing it may be, but toxic to many, yes (about 60% of North Americans). This is one issue I have beef with, but of course, not many would give credit to another author in their book, but D'Adamo's work on Blood Type Lectins should have been addressed.
Robert Young is not really a picture of health. I initially found it difficult to take the health advice of a bald man with a pasty complexion. But, he could have went bald 20 years ago for all we know. I DO know it's possible to regrow hair in balding areas, as Gary Null has proven time and time again with members of his health support groups.
I commend Young on one issue: fruit. For years, he was the ONLY one saying that fruit is acidifying. People were mocking him, calling him a baffoon, etc. I know, I was one of them. Over time, more and more have come forward, agreeing with his theory. It wasn't until Gabriel Cousens postulated the same theory, that I was sold on Young's initial findings. I give him all the credit in the world for the fruit issue. He is an innovator.
This book does an excellent job in promoting supplements his company sells. His supplements are good, and taking them will certainly benefit us all, but it seems a little biased when you make references to your own supplement line throughout the book. No other leading health advocate does that.
All in all, this book is extremely beneficial to anyone seeking to improve their wellness. A raw food, alkaline diet as he suggests is the missing link in today's world. If everyone in the world at like this, it would be a world of peace, love, and caring. Tell enough people about this diet, and you are helping the world's cause. I'm serious about this. This diet opens up feelings of love that are instilled at birth, but hidden under layers of toxic sludge we've put into us over the years.
Bravo, Dr. Young. Fine work.
38 Dr. Young is on to something big!!
Since I have been working in the nutritional industry for the last 8 years, Dr. Young is bringing everything together to make sense! If you want to make a positive change in your health, I recommend you read this book. Yes, there is similar information out there, but I feel this author is onto something big! He not only tells you how to correct things, but gives you ideas how to incorporate it into your life! I feel Dr. Young is going after the underlying "cause" of disease and not just traditionally treating an ill with a pill!
39 you need a dietician
All this might work wonderfully if you had time to do all this stuff and manage to work out how to eat exactly the way it says, but for those of us in the real world, it's more trouble than it's worth.
40 To the doubters - this book changed my life !
It's hard for me to imagine someone not having amazing results on this program. I don't use his products but I do follow the alkaline diet and the results have been amazing.
I feel great, have tons of energy, don't get jetlag anymore, never get sick, etc, etc.
At the outset of following the program you probably will feel lousy becuase your body needs at least a month to flush out the toxins from all the [bad] food we've all been eating our whole lives. Ever have a hangover? You feel lousy at the time but after the toxicity has left your body your feel much better.
Everyone owes it to themselves to read this book and try the diet for at least a short time.
You think some of his ideas are quacky? Well guess what, medicine is a very young science and it wasn't that long ago that people used leeches! The important thing is the results you get and everyone I've known has had great results with this program.
Don't like the fact that he sells some products? I can understand that - but are you going to let that get in the way of a life where you feel vibrant and great every day?
It costs nothing to follow the diet, and in my experience if you occasionally stray a little from going out to eat, etc. you still feel great as long as you 1) have an initial intensive period of following the diet religiously (maybe for 3-6 months), and 2) only eat acidic food occasionally.
Thank you, Robert and Shelly for this book!
41 I Live It
I read the book. I do what it says. And it works.
I lost 20lb in 1 month, dropped 40 cholesterol points, am no longer hypoglycemic, and no longer have allergies.
I have friends who use the supplements recommended. One has reduced her insulin from 6 shots to 2 shots per day. One no longer has ankle swelling. One no longer has constant fatigue.
As with any book, it works only as good as you apply it.
42 In my opinion... this book is the key to optimum health
this book is an eye opener as to what the detrimental effects of having an acidic body chemistry are .his analogy of "the fish in the aquarium" is so simplistic but so profound. we poison our bodies with medications everyday without thought of changing the environment within.he asks.."would we treat the fish in that environment?" an emphatic "...NO... we would change the water, we would change the chemistry. the foods are one way to alkalize your body chemistry and another way is to take sango coral calcium, which is 100% absorbed and also alkalizes the body chemistry. the medical community is all structured on the "germ theory", but the truth is ..it all starts from within...fungus, mold, candida, yeast...all flourish in an acidic environment...and too their waste products are acidic...it's like they have a big party inside and the end result is your deteriorating health and the decomposition of your body, in reality.
the good news is anyone can reverse this process by alkalizing their body chemistry..even cancer cells do not thrive in an alkaline environment....so then , if the medical community is so far advanced, why don't they first..alkalize the body chemistry?
instead they go about destroying the good cells along with the bad. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out, it's really high school chemistry class.i have seen first hand a transformation in my own mother with alkalizing her acidic chemistry..everything from no more GERD, acid reflux, esophageal spasms, no more arthritic pain in her hands that before could not even grip a pair of scissors and her diabetes holding her blood sugar below 100, for the first time in 10 years.i have seen the result of ridding your body of acidity...first hand....an i for one am doing everything in my power to maintain an alkaline chemistry to keep my cells in their optimum environment to ward off degenerative diseases.
43 I Wish Dr. Roy Walford Would Review This Book
Interesting stuff, however I wish that Dr. Roy Walford would review this material. Where is the consistently reproducible experimental evidence? Throughout the material all one finds is testimonial evidence and nothing more. Appears the authors are equally or more interested in profitability than research. Where did Dr. Young get his academic training anyway? Where are the consistent publications normally to be found by reputable scientists?
Be careful to examine the nature of evidence before pursuing this one.
44 Get Real
You guys gotta be kidding. No one can tell me that they can use this diet in everyday life. Unless you are a shut in or wealthy with someone buying and preparing these meals...GOOD LUCK! I tried it for one month. First of all, most of these products have to be purchased at health food stores and are very expensive. Second of all, if you have to eat out a lot for business or just for pleasure FORGET IT! I couldn't find one thing on a restaurant menu that remotely filled these stringent guidelines. Third, I don't know about anyone else, but I like some taste with my food...this stuff and the recipes that went along would gag a goat. After a month I lost 5 lbs...got sick three times and could barely make it up a flight of stairs. I told someone about this diet and they said that Anthony Robbins has an interview with the authors on tapes circulating around the country. At the end of the tape they tell you how to contact a distributor to purchase their products. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you really can't follow their program without their products...mmmmmm sounds a bit like MLM. Be careful with this one.
45 A lifestyle change you can life with
As one reviewer wrote, you need to read this book with an open mind. I was looking for a lifestyle change that I could live with and I think I've found it. In a day and age when obesity is at an all time high, we need to take a good look at what we're eating and why we're becoming overweight. The author suggests eating vegetables, certain fruits and,on occasion, certain types of fish. The argument that we will not get enough protein and calcium on such a diet has been dispelled based on the evidence (testimonials in the book and other reviews). The change is a bit overwhelming at first but I've noticed a difference in myself already. Reading this book will make you think twice about what you are eating and what it is doing to your body/health. Anyone looking for a lifestyle change should consider reading this book.
46 Another "Sure Thing"
Interesting reading and interesting theories, but unfortunately no credible background or backup is supplied. I would like to see empirical data on Dr. Young's diet and more information on his qualifications, education and business. As we view on TV and read every day, testimonials are a dime a dozen and rarely stand the test of close scrutiny. Drastic changes in diet such as Dr. Young suggests, have been touted by many "experts" and some have proved to be quite dangerous and sometimes fatal. PLEASE discuss with your medical professional before trying this!!!!!
47 A Duel Approach
The principles set forth in this book have been for me the basis of not only my own good health but the good health of many, many people I know. Instead of using his or any supplements though we have chosen to eat concentrated whole foods because we know the body recognizes and utilizes whole foods better than nonfoods which taken in large amounts become at their worst druglike and are fragmented at best. Combining both has resulted in amazingly fast progress in healing and building health. Dr.Young has certainly given the public wonderful knowledge that is much needed for which we thank him.
48 The pH Miracle
This book has changed my life. I always knew there was some simple answer to my weight problem, and balancing the ph of my body is it. All the testimonies inside are a great inspiration also. I especially love the recipes that helped me from feeling "limited" with my diet. I don't feel like I am dieting, because this is a lifestyle change, and one that will benefit me the rest of my life. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is tired of being sick or just sick and tired. Easy reading and it really works!
49 Complements Hygienic philosophy
The authors are going straight to the public hence perhaps the lack of peer review sitings of which I know there are many. The germ theory of disease has caused untold suffering and innovative concepts (although not new) in this area are helpful. The bodies drainage ie purification processes(which includes the immune system), the process that removes cellular waste (urea and CO2 among others) is checked or impaired by a mode of living that uses up "nerve energy" faster than it can be recooperated. This auto-generated acidifying process was not mentioned.
Also fruit IS in most cases alkalizing not withstanding the fact that some peoples internal sugar processing is impaired along with other impaired functioning powers. As was stated for better digestion fruit should be eaten separate from proteins and starches.
Mostly their ideas are good and need to be presented. I give less significance to their high priced products.
50 Please read this book if you have weight trouble or disease!
The work of Dr. Young is amazing. There are a number of testimonials in this book and for every testimonial in the book there are many not mentioned. Please, If you do anything just read with an open mind and try to see if you can make improvements based on the book.
Here is my own personal testimonial:
My cholesterol has never been measured below 199. From 1996 to 2000 my cholesterol has always hovered between 211-216. Since following Dr. Young's program (Diet and Super Greens) my cholesterol dropped 60 points in 2 months. My cholesterol is now at 147. After 6 months on the program I lost 40 pounds.
There will be many people arguing the merits of this book but the testimonials are never disputed. The forward in the book is from Jane Clayson from CBS. She even drinks the Super Greens Dr Young promotes.
After I did made changes in my diet and supplementation the better I felt and the more I read about other issues. I had a strong sense that this was the best decision possible. Here is a sample of the issues I am referring to:
Mad Cow disease
Hoof and mouth disease
Bovine growth hormone
Government loosening regulations on beef
Animal cruelty
Environmental impacts from dairy and meat industries
Following Dr. Young's program I felt I made the best choice for my health and I have not regretted it one bit.
Again, If you do anything just read with an open mind and try to see if you can make improvements based on the book....
51 Half and half: good yeast program, bad diet for some
Dr. Young's new book is half good (his candida/yeast information), half potentially dangerous (his unbalanced diet). I discovered Dr. Young and his earlier books through a friend and loved his Candida-control program. (I had the worst candida problems while I was a fanatic Dr. Young vegetarian.)His yeast research is great, but viewing his new book, and having lived his precise diet for a time, his recommended diet just hasn't worked for me or my family. I know some people seem to thrive, and the people that work for him push the diet with a religious fervor that borders on Stepford. The diet is not for everyone, please be forewarned. I believe we are all biochemical individuals, and have found, that after a decade of vegetarianism which nearly killed me, it is a diet not ideal for all. I recommend take the first part of this book to heart, the second part with a grain of. . . ummm, salt?
52 Documentation beats conversation!
THIS BOOK IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A HEALTHIER WAY TO LIVE!!
Let's look at the stats on American Healthcare: $1.3B industry, 1 out of 3 people get cancer, 1 out of 2 get heart disease, obesity is at epidmeic levels, 70% of children are getting hardening deposits in their arteries as early as 12 years of age. And here is the best one of all, in 1999 over 120,000 people died from prescription drugs. So what does that tell you about how well we are doing as a society?
Somewhere a long time ago we bought into the fact of eating dead animal flesh, products ladened with sugar and foods with artifical additives galore, not to forget neon fizzy carbonated drinks. So we as a society are suffering the consequences.
Along comes Dr. Young, (not the first to talk this way), but just someone who has devoted his life to bringing this information out to the peoples of the world. His book tells it like it is. Also read his other books "Sick & Tired" and "Back to the House of Health" Co-authored by his wife Shelley. They have figured out something that most people will never fully grasp and understand because of what society is telling us.
We can live and be healthy if only we put the right types of food and nutrition into our system. The PH Miracle spells it out plain and simple. Will it take effort? Absoultely...because you are changing your old belief patterns and they have been cemented into our minds. It takes time, but with education you can gain the necessary leverage to do anything.
My wife and I have followed his program for just about 2 years now and we have never been healthier. I just wish I had known about this earlier so that my father and mother who both died because of health problems could be alive today.
READ THIS BOOK AND OPEN YOUR MIND TO THE FACT THAT MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IN SOCIETY IS WRONG! Dr. Young speaks the truth and it will make a lot of people upset with him, but so what, at least you can be healthier.
53 Dr Youngs health plan saved my dad's life
Im 12 years old, and a year and half ago, my dad almost died from Kidney disease. The doctors gave him no hope! He flew out to meet Dr.Robert Young. Then he started drinking the Green drink and eating very healthy. Today my dad has no sign's of the Kidney disease! Thank you Dr. Young! Read the book, eat the way Dr. Young says and most of all drink your Green drink! I wish everyone who reads this book good health!
54 Good intentions, not for everyone
My wife bought this book and likes it. We bought an earlier Dr. Young book and really tried to live his extreme vegetarian program for six months. I just got sicker and weaker, bloated and always tired. My wife did really well. What was the difference?
Then we discovered Dr. D'Adamo's book "Eat Right 4 Your Type." I discovered I was a type O, and vegetarian diets weren't right for me, my wife, a type A, could do well on a diet like Dr. Young's. She still follows Dr. Young's diet, modified by Dr. D'Adamo's recommendations, and she's thriving. I'm now lean and energetic--with Dr. D'Adamo. If you're a blood type O, watch out--Dr. Young's diet didn't work for me!
55 Life Changing Message
Reading this book is a life-changing event! The message is straightforward and simple to follow. Balance your body's chemistry (ph) and achieve incredible health! The book is well organized and is a fantastic reference to get you on and keep you on the pH miracle program. I love the book, the program and what it has to offer. Your life will be changed forever for the better. Share it with the ones you love so they can have an opportunity for a better quality of life. It has changed my life and the lives of those that I love for the better.
The book is divided into three main sections: The Theory, The Program and The Recipes. The Theory and The Program sections have good information and stories to see how that information applies to people. The Recipes section has an over view of the recipes and the details of the recipe. The Program and Recipes sections put the theory into practice and make the revolutionary program a way of life! A must read for you are serious about your health and are looking for alternatives for a higher quality of health.
56 HOW MUCH SIMPLIER CAN IT BE?
Just yesterday, 4/13/02 I received THIS book in the mail from Amazon.com. I truly believe in Dr. Young's 'New Biology', but I'm personally having a hard time putting it into practice. However, each day I keep trying and "I DON'T PLAN TO EVER GIVE UP!" How I need it! Few understand what being full of "candida" and a "sugar addict" actually means! Believe me it shows. You will understand when you read this book and have just the "faith of a grain of mustard seed!"
I like the way this book has been written. Although I also have Dr. Young's previous book "Are You Sick and Tired", I find this one so much easier to understand. I believe more people will appreciate Dr. Young's work and words in "this" book.
I just wish I, a user of his Interlight products, could make "everyone" see where this 'New Biology' is headed. ...
57 Taking control of your body
What an awesome book! If you are seroiusly looking to be healthy and to start learning about your body and what is going on inside the body than you need to read this book.I learned all about my bodies ph and why so many people today are sick, overweight, tired and stressed! Our bodies are so full of acid that are bodies cannot funtion properly, and without proper funtion we end up getting all these ishy things happening to our bodies! I think Doctor Young is absoluteyly amazing and what he discovered and how he is going to change so many peoples lives! If people today would open up their minds to the "natural" way, we wouldn't have a ratio of 1:3 for cancer or 50% of children would be healthy and not overweight, parents would start realizing all the pop, koolaid, cookies, chips, sugar and candy is only hurting the childs body with the number one disease in children Diabetes! Thankyou, Doctor Young for what you have discovered and used to help change the world!
