The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health Audiobook

" Hey, I can eat like a vegan diabetic Mormon with a gluten allergy 80% of the time... "

" Great info, most of which is common sense if you are at all privy to healthy eating concepts. The downside is the fact that the diet is WAY too rigid, depends on WAY too many supplements and there is WAY too much argument over what foods are alkaline and which are acidic. The fact that testing the acidity or alkalinity of a food is not an exact science leaves an excessive amount of room for error. It is easy to find so much conflicting information when you dig deeper into the the diet: some folks think fruit is acidic while others find it highly alkalizing. There just isn't enough concrete information on what to eat and what not to eat. But, in general the idea is great: eat lots of veggies, mostly leafy greens, and moderate amounts of everything else, which is a lifestyle I can definitely support. "

" Its a "strict book" w/ some great ideas and awesome info on how the body works... "

" I'm really astounded how many people have read this book and taken it on face value. The most elementary google search reveals the guy as an irresponsible, ethically bankrupt, criminal fraud with no medical qualifications. Eating a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda a day would give you the PH balance suggested by this book. The rest - eat healthhy - is a no brainer. The real blinding obvious fact is when you read it, he draws entirely unfounded and unscientific conclusions from things: Some people get sicker than others when exposed to airborne bacteria/viruses. Really? It's called genetics, some people are born with better immune systems than others. The same way some people are born with better teeth, bigger boobs, faster legs etc. It has very little to do with diet. Proof? The author's example is that in a plague some people in houses get sick and others don't - he puts this down to the acidity of diet. In 1918 (the period he cites) the majority of families would be eating the same diet within the family. So how can diet explain why a mother died and a father didn't, one child and not another? Please be more responsible about your beliefs people. You have access to information without precedent in history, so use it to verify things. We owe the future of our planet and humanity better than to abdure our own critical thinking to follow one manipulative guru then another. On the subject of these types of books and claims there is a very simple strategy used by authors. It hooks in to the Protestant work ethic, Catholic guilt or any other type of religious morality. Does the author ask you to do something for your health, follow some regimen - that you are likely to either fail at or do imperfectly? If so can you see how the trick is played on you? It becomes your fault the technique didn't work, you internalize the failure of the technique. Let's compare this to non-quack medicine. Antibiotics, yes they are overused and yes incorrect use has enormous repercussions BUT they work. If you miss a dose here and there or stop taking it too early you will notice that whatever bacteria it was prescribed for has been beaten down or eliminated, you'll also have thrush or other types of problems associated with absence of good bacteria. The stuff kills bacteria, there's the proof. If you exercise but then you don't for a period you'll see the difference. Miracle diets/medicines don't make equivocal claims, it's either all or nothing you cure the cancer or you don't, you feel AMAZING or you feel tired. If you don't get the good results it's because you didn't follow the extreme regimen properly. The science shows simply taking baking soda daily would achieve the PH balance this quack recommends for ALL HEALTH issues, yet that would be easy for anyone to do as a regimen. Problem is when everyone who buys your book can do that the numbers will add up and people will realize the claim is bullshit. Keep your regimen improbable and esoteric and then the people buying your book will internalize the failure rather than realizing the fraudulent claims. Hell they'll go right on to another miracle cure, hoping they won't FAIL at this one too. "

" Very interesting subject, but Dr. Young takes a pretty extreme approach to it that would not connect with most people. "

" How to make some delicious and nutritious foods and how important vegetables are in our diet. "

" I really loved this book. It served as a catalyst for me to draw some conclusions for things Ive been pondering for a while. You could even say it changed my life. "

" Liked this book, but the recipes all looked weird and ironically many had wheat and canned beans, both of which are recommended against in earlier sections of the book. "

" I'm not sure I'm sold on this "miracle." I have high cholesterol, so I eat a plant based diet anyway. He had some interesting ideas and I feel better when I eat better, so the book was helpful. "

" Although the information was very interesting, I found the tone of the writing to be very preachy. "

" felt a little like an informercial "

" A LOT of GOOD INFORMATION. "

" I have started on this program and several of my friends have already been on this for years. Their claims seem hard to believe... I will let you know. "

" Don't know if I could ever give up fruit and meat, but it makes sense and a great source of information as far as how foods affect your body. "

" a must read for anyone who cares about there health! "

" It makes so much sense to keep a "neutral" ph in our bodies to keep us health; This will keep our bodies healthy! "

" great info on why and how to balnce your PH. step-bystep plan to change your diet. great recipes as well. "

" Hmmmmmmmmmm...... a little on the extreme side, for me, but I'll try a few of the ideas and the recipes. I don't know how I feel about alkaline water and no fruit. "

" If you want some real insight on how to radically take back your health, this book is the BEST! Insightful and informative, it will change your thinking about the way you eat and live. "

" Intriguing, to say the least. I'm taking an anatomy class this semester, and everything in the book meshes perfectly with everything I've learned in class about the digestive system. It really made me think about my food choices--both current and future. "

" My doctor recommended that I read this book. It is a bit tiresome to me and although informative, I doubt I can do this program. "

" This book is terrific for understanding illness and how to treat and prevent it naturally. Dr. Young explains the science of micro-organisms in clear, layman's terms. "

" Interesting information about pH in the body but they were a little overzealous for my preference. "
