The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health

I have tried to do a Raw Food Diet for about 3 months but it was a little too extreme for me to maintain on a regular basis because of society, friends and family. When I transitioned off a fast, I started thinking I needed more proteins (eggs/chicken) I fell of the wagon and did a 180 back to overeating and lots of animal meats/fats and started smoking again! This book has help get me back in that mindset again. I dont think I can live as a vegetarian... however this book provides valuable information for modifying your diet even if you dont want to give up meats. For example, he discusses food combinations and suggests that eating meat with starch is bad. Since I've started doing this i noted much better digestion almost immediately. I only eat veggies with meat if I have chicken/beef, but only once in a while can i have a starch with meat but only on rare occasions. Dr. Young also suggests getting away from the typical American Breakfast of eggs/bacon and encourages veggies or soup for breakfast. I started doing this and have grown more accustomed to this. I havve sprouted protein tortillas with avocado and olive tapenade with spring greens and cucumber for breakfast. Its very delicious with a cup of black tea in the morning. Its a nice change from oatmeal, butter & sugar in the morning or fatty bagels and eggs or panakes that are too heavy on the stomach after fasting over sleep. The idea is to consume more water-based and alkaline based foods to balance out your Ph Levels.... ie) More Veggies! The science behind this is true in many ways from my experience. I once suffered from Acid Reflux. When I went Raw Vegan last year my allergies and depression faded, but since that is too extreme for me I can at least follow a Ph Program that can give me similar results and one of the big problems this is targeting for me is Bad Digestion. So if youre afraid of being told to go all vegetarian but cant seem to do it, this book will at least open your mind up to making vegetables more as the main course rather than meat for optimizing the alkalinity of your body and improving digestion. I havent even finished reading the book but.......... The bloating, indigestion, gas issues I've had are improving also with probiotics recommended by the author (i didnt buy his products, just had my own probiotic) and elimination isnt a problem any longer. I plan on getting the PH Strips to test my drinking water as well and my levels internally to see where I'm at. I notice I eat less now and my cravings for sugar are slowly subsiding. I cant wait for the pounds to drop now. Buy the book, take what you can and apply what feels right as long as youre health is improving.

I enjoyed this book so much. I found it nearly impossible to put down once I started reading it. I am fortunate enough to come from a family that has always placed much importance on good nutrition, so I have always been a pretty doggone healthy eater, and I have never had any problem staying thin even though I am well into my thirties now. However, in the last couple of years I have begun to have major problems with maintaining my energy level... I always felt "heavy" and exhausted to the point that I found it hard to stay awake while perfoming even the simplest of tasks (driving, washing dishes, etc.) Thank goodness I read this book! I feel like a totally different person... better than I have in years! I have only made a few minor changes to my daily routine (having avocado & tomato salad for breakfast, drinking alkaline water with lemon juice and wheat grass 1-2 times daily, and reducing my intake of animal products by about 50%), but the results I am experiencing are tremendous! My energy level is thru the roof! I have always found it difficult to get going in the morning, but now I naturally wake up just before day break everyday and cannot wait to get out of bed! Not to mention that I go all day like the Energizer Bunny tackling one task after the other. I feel lighter and my mind is so much clearer. I will never go back. I feel to good. My quality of life is so much better. Yet I do not feel like I am missing out on anything. This book makes it easy to adopt these changes because it doesn't just tell you to make the changes it explains in detail how and why they will improve your life. Having that knowledge makes it super easy to stay on track. It is also worth mentioning that I no longer have relentlessly nagging cravings for food anymore. I find it much easier to satisfy my appetite. I may never start eating sprouted beans, but just the same this book is a keeper!

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.

I decided to try this book after Anthony Robbins recommended it on his "Get the Edge" program. He raved about the diet saying that he felt amazing while only getting 6-hours of sleep. He said he would work long hours and come home feeling refreshed. He really sold me on it. I needed energy like that to get my business started so I decided to give it a try. The initial cleanse was very difficult for two reasons. The first problem was that it made me feel really sick. The second problem was that the cleanse wasn't very effective. The book says you're supposed to have bowel movements 3-6 times a day. However, by the 3rd day I was lucky to have any at all. I do commend Mr. Young for having such a thorough book but in the end some of the stuff just isn't practical. I found a nice natural laxative, like he recommended, for the cleanse but it made me feel even weaker than before. I couldn't do this cleanse and take the natural laxative, it was just too taxing on my system. I went on the diet for about 3-months without feeling any better. Probably because my cleanse was poorly done. I knew I had to do the cleanse again so this time I searched on the Internet for a pre-packaged cleanse program. I ended up finding a system called "Ultimate Fasting Cleanse" which worked very well. I had better elimination and I didn't feel sick at all. After I was done my hunger was gone so I guess it worked to clear out my "Candida". After that I started back on the diet and I'm doing considerably better. However, I didn't experience any of those amazing effects that Robbins was raving about on his CD. The diet is definitely worth doing. The benefits go beyond just losing weight. I don't feel hunger pains like I did in the past, I have a better sense of well being and my allergy problem is better (not perfect but better). Despite all of the progress I have made the diet was still very disappointing because of my high expectations. That's not Robert Young's fault because he doesn't really hype up the diet. However, the "Alkaline Diet community" as a whole makes this diet out to be some kind of "miracle". Maybe it is if you are sick but I was relatively healthy and I wanted to feel amazing. I didn't get that from this diet. If you are going to do a vegan, raw foods or alkaline diet this is probably the best diet for you. It's probably also good for people who are desperate to lose weight. However, I think the diet is too restrictive and the cleanse is too harsh for casual dieters looking to lose a few pounds. It's also not a miracle for regular people.

While I really enjoyed all the information in this book, I truly could not eat to this extreme. I'm sure it's good for you, but seriously, give up my glass of red wine with dinner? You still have to live. Here's what I got out of the book in a nutshell, your body is meant to be alkaline, or at least within a narrow zone between alkaline and acid. If you become more acid because of your diet, the little critters in your body start breaking things down in order bring your body back to the earth. That's just the way it is. Everything has a purpose and a time, and through our diets, we can keep ourselves in the correct PH balance to keep on living. Of course you can live better and with more vitality, the closer you get to the Goldilocks range of PH of 7-7.35. As the book lays out, lots of things can get a body out of the optimal range, and that's when things go wiggy. And it's all the food and drink we love that takes us into the acid range, like sugar, oh, and sugar, and sugar. I guess there aren't that many things. When I say sugar, I mean simple sugars, like white bread, white pasta, and white sugar, and white wine, okay just about anything white. Of course you need to read the book to know exactly what I'm talking about, but in all seriousness, veggies produce an alkaline body; meats, sugar, alcohol, and stress, produce an acid body. And acid kills, just like the name implies. This book is simple and easy to understand(I know because I understood it), and it has lots of recipes(not much chance of me even following one of them because I'm recipe-impared), and lots of advice on supplements. I originally bought the book in Kindle form, but it was so good, and has some much information that I'll want to look up later, that I also bought the paperback version(serves me right for being cheap). Read the book, and just remember that veggies should make up 70% of your diet, and mostly raw, which is easy with salads, and drink lots of pure water(PH drops a must), and take green pills. Green makes your blood happy, and cancer sad. Cancer likes low oxygen, sugar to eat, and lots of mucus to hide behind. So eat green, exercise and don't eat things that make you have mucus. I'm not a doctor so whatever I've said I only know from testing on myself. I do feel better eating more alkaline and it makes your mouth taste sweeter. Happy Eating!

I have read this book in conjunction with several others (to cite the best ones, the Acid Alkaline food guide by S Brown and L Trivieri and the Acid Alkaline diet for optimum health in particular). I loved Dr Young's book for the very detailed explanations on how the body is working and the effects that food can have on your body. If you want to learn about the roots of the theory, this is definitely a must-read. However, I would advise to read this book with caution and to complement it with other ones when it comes to the practical applications and to the diet. The two books that are cited above are great ones to read in complement of this one (and I particularly recommend the one of Vasey). Several things retained my attention - and explain the 3 star rating "only" : 1. The diet that Young recommends is mostly vegetarian. He advises for fish "twice a month". Unless you are already a vegetarian, I do not see why eating meat would be worse than eating, for instance, soy, that he highly champions but that is known for having an acidifying effect (see all other sources, whether books or internet). When doing this recommendation, he seems to ignore two facts : firstly, the fact that organic production of meat and poultry allows you today to get hormone and antibiotic-free meat ; and secondly, the fact that some fishes are super high in mercury and other heavy metals, and that, while eating fish is great, it has to be done with caution. I think this advise comes from the fact that he used to be a vegetarian himself (in particular he talks about the meat as being "dead" - which is typical vegetarian credo). You don't have to follow this to the letter if you're not a vegetarian yourself. 2. Young recommends to go 100% alkaline for 7-8 weeks. Firstly, I do not think that anybody that has a life can actually do that !! Secondly, his "100% alkaline" is really not 100% alkaline, because he recommends soy as alkalizing - where soy is in fact acidifying. So his 100% alkaline diet is truly not one, proving therefore that nobody really *needs* a 100% alkaline diet. Thirdly, there are other ways to flush your body from acids, for instance by using supplements (see Vasey's book). Last but not least, this diet is highly imbalanced (in proteins in particular), and anybody who would want to go on it should seek medical advise first. 3. According to Young, reverse osmosis water is alkaline. This is not the case. I have a RO filter at home and one of the first things I did was to test it. It's highly acidic (and its because the minerals were filtered out, too). 4. Young recomments using Ph drops to make juices and water alkaline before drinking them. He even recommends hydrogen peroxide to make you water alkaline. I'm not a doctor, but I do not see how adding a chemical like hydrogen peroxide would actually be better to your body than drinking pure water - even if this is an acidic water ? The pH is not the only thing to take into consideration here ! Also, if we are talking about eating closer to nature, then why add ph drops to juices ? If juices are good for our body, this is what nature planned for us and we should not need to add ph drops. 5. Young despises algaes. Here again he seems to ignore that most medical algaes are actually grown in environmentally safe environmnts, and not polluted as he seems to imply. 6. Young recommends supplements that you should be careful of. I already mentioned the hydrogen peroxide. Same goes with colloidal silver (only use medical preparations and under medical control) or other colloidal metals preparations. 7. foods lists. No all foods have the same effect on everybody's body. It depends on individual metabolism. I recommend reading Vasey's books to determine whether fruits would be alkalizing or acidifying for you (including lemon, that he recommends as alkalizing but could be acidifying, and most fruits, that he says are acidifying but could have a reverse effect on you). Also, Young highly champions soy. As mentioned earlier, he is the only one out there believing that soy is alkalizing. Only soy sprouts are recognized as such. Long story short : this book is great for understanding, but not for dieting... this is a good start but should be read in complement with other books. If you are seeking to improve your health, I highly recommend, on top of Vasey's book cited above, the book "lessons from miracle doctors" from Jon Barron.

I think a good dose of skepticism is warranted with all health claims...Doctors and pharmaceutical companies included. I approached Dr. Young's work with a healthy dose of skepticism, but found that his approach lacked any suggestions that would be considered harmful (unlike the dangerous Adkins diet)...and that the best test was experiential...so I tried it for myself. I lost about 10lbs in one week, while never feeling hungry, and with no increased exercise. In addition my energy level skyrocketed and remained constant throughout the day! Although I did not have any particular health concerns to address, other than fluctuating energy level and a little extra weight...so my story is not miraculous...but certainly positive. What is miraculous is my father's story...he had been 30-40 lbs overweight, suffered from a severe case of gout and arthritis to the point he could barely walk at times. He also had a brain tumor that impaired his speech had caused him to go blind in his left eye...which the surgeon said was a permanent loss and definitely not reversible with any know treatment. Upon beginning the program my father only made some minor changes...eliminating acidic liquids like coffee, soda and sugary drinks...and replacing them with purified alkaline water...a gallon a day. Within a month he had lost 30lbs, and had completely cured his gout and arthritis! He looked and moved like he was 15 years younger! With this miraculous success, he agreed to increase the amount of raw greens in his diet and reduce meat, and other acidic foods like sweets...this was very difficult for him to do...but he plodded forward and supplemented his diet with a green drink and an alkaline salt's drink as well. He also quit drinking and smoking at this time. In January of 2009 we went to visit Dr. Young to get expert guidance for implementing the PH Miracle program and how to optimize the program to restore pH balance and increase alkalinity in the body. Dr. Young had a wonderful Physician on staff to assist with the dietary program, he also provided access to his own raw "chefs" for instruction on preparing the various meals. While we were there my father underwent daily lymphatic drainage massage, hour long far infrared sauna sessions and colonic treatments for a complete spa experience and detoxification regimen. Within four days of being on a strict alkaline/PH Miracle diet my father partially regained vision in his blind eye(as stated before an irreversible condition according to his surgeon), and his speech (which had slowed down considerably due to the brain tumor and several operations) began to speak more quickly and fluidly without pause or searching for words. He was on the road to recovering his health completely! I am grateful for the brave work of Dr. Young, because in today's hostile regulatory environment, alternative wellness approaches are vilified and their proponents are often persecuted. Health freedom and freedom of speech regarding health matters in the USA is a myth...instead we have a health dictatorship of the AMA, FDA and FTC! I can say from first hand experience this dietary approach will create miracles in your health...and can likely reverse many, if not all chronic health concerns you may be suffering from....not the least of which is cancer. I know Dr. Young can't claim his diet cures cancer...or gout...or arthritis...or blindness...but I saw it do exactly those things. One day science will return to seeking the truth and will abandon the modern politicized, for profit "pseudo science" funded by big pharmaceutical companies; that is when the "heretics" of today will be shown to have been telling the truth...paradigm shifting truth! One day the discoveries of Dr. Young will be well known...and miracles like these will be commonplace. For your own sake, be open minded enough to try if for yourself...you will be shocked by the power of food to heal you. As Mahatma Gandhi once said "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." "Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food." Hippocrates Greek physician (460 BC - 377 BC)

Dear Seller, Thank you for the pH Miracle Diet book . I am Organic ,Alternative and Green and Vegetarian. I can my foods lastly and freeze them and dehydrate them. I have a friend who used to love to eat nothing but raw however because of her teeth missing she has a hard time chewing. However when she gets her dentures she will going back to eat raw foods. Well I found a way to go back to the way it was in the bible days called ancient days. It is as you said eat raw but what if someone like my friend can not chew and it hurts her digestive tract and she develops pain and gets gas in her chest and stomach. Well I have the solution that she could do as we already have discussed what to do. My solution is to not to grow the whole plant but to let the seeds sprout only for a day or two then make into a sprouted bread by either toasting in the oven a little or dehydrating and even eat in salads and the good thing is that they are high and mineral and vitamin content as well as live enzymes.The bioflavenoids are foods natural colors that prevent cancer. And this is a wonderful book to live by and also if you do eat cooked foods a combination of beans and grains is your best bit like if you can't digest for a while do temporarily on these foods say because your teeth operation. Good combination foods.Just eat beans with Ezekiel Sprouted Bread which is sprouts that are seeds that ave been sprouted from beans say like grains from Wheat, Rice, Rye, Barley, Corn, Millet and combine with beans like Mexican Tortillas made with Corn, Indian dishes like Rice and beans. Italian food like Chili, Barley add bean soups and even Millet and bean meat loaf also Potatoes can be baked with later added chili bean sauce then the odd one is Sweet Potatoes or Yams with beans for protein and other starchy vegetables like Peas and Lima beans mixed with Veggie crumbles a vegetarian food meat substitute made from soy beans and corn made into like a Veggie hamburger stew made with tomatoes and no meat.But your best bet is to go raw all the way by eating only raw foods to let you body really cleanse and heal it self from all the years of abuse that it has been put through by eating cooked foods.So again thanks for helping my friend and I see a different way of life. I knew it was there a long time ago just needed a great big push but I do juice extract and that helps with the concentrated antioxidant high vitamin /mineral content as well as with all the live enzymes and Bioflavenoids of cancer preventatives.
