The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health Paperback – July 2, 2010

It has a guide and resources/ research for your well being.

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."HippocratesGreek physician (460 BC - 377 BC)

it is a very good book with a lot of good information in it.

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.
