The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health
The pH Miracle: Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health
In many ways, The pH Miracle is reminiscent of an earlier generation of diet books. Much of the focus is on an intestinal cleansing program, followed by a diet that is 70 to 80 percent vegetables, coupled with a tremendous selection of supplements that authors Robert and Shelley Young recommend to everyone, no matter what their age, gender, or state of health.
The Youngs point their fingers at candida as a main culprit in the poor health of many people. Unfortunately, they back up their claims with only vague references, such as “a 1991 study” and “a leading cancer researcher.” Many readers may wish for more specific evidence, but instead will have to make do with enthusiastic recommendations, alphabetized lists of vegetables, and pleasing chapters with vegetarian recipes that taste good no matter how you feel about the diet as a whole.
Sprinkled throughout the book are short testimonials of people who were able to reverse cancer, improve their digestion, and lower their cholesterol by following these recommendations, and it’s hard to argue with the cholesterol-lowering results that a 70 percent vegetable diet will achieve. Still, the medical value of much else in the book remains hotly contested, and as always, it’s wise to check with your doctor before starting off in search of miracles. –Jill Lightner Never count calories, fat grams, or food portions again!

5 Stars pH Miracle
I have to say that this is one of the best books I have ever read. I couldn’t hardly put the book down. I was very pleased with the service and the promptness of the delivery. Thank You.
5 Stars The PH Miracle
The book is very interesting and full of lots of great anecdotal stories. I don’t agree with everything they preach in it but they do have some ideas that make sense.
1 Stars WORST book ever!!!
This is the WORST book that I’ve ever read!!!
The authors are COMPLETELY UNEDUCATED in the
fields of chemistry, science and medicine.
They advise their readers to DRINK HYDROGEN
PEROXIDE, which is a POISON and there is
NO ANTIDOTE for it after ingestion. It
will KILL the CELLS and lining of one’s
stomach and ALL OTHER ORGANS, just to name
a few of the serious health problems that
it will cause. ABSOLUTELY INSANE and totally
IDIOTIC!!! DO NOT BUY this MISLEADING and
SO-CALLED LOUSY book. It’s a BIG WASTE of
your time and precious money!
4 Stars Enthusiasm someimes overshadows science
First, a disclaimer. It appears that the principle of limiting food choices in order to raise pH works. Moreover, Young’s basic issues match well with other experts, such as Hyman, Fuhrman, and Ornish. I can’t argue with the apparent success resulting from following Young’s and those other guys’ advice.
So what’s my gripe? Young makes some statements that are simply absurd. Every few pages he would say something that just set my teeth on edge. The most egregious statement was that sodium would convert to potassium in the body. I think he probably meant that potassium would replace sodium in some compounds in the body. But in his enthusiasm, he made a completely unsupportable claim. Several other apparently exaggerated claims are probably also due to enthusiasm.
My quarrel is probably not with Young himself, but with whomever dropped the ball during the copy editing process. That’s a shame because Young has workable advice to give.
5 Stars The hard work does pay off
This “diet” has really helped my husband. After years of being in pain with gout-like symptoms (he does not have gout but he does get flare ups that are very similar to gout) this book has helped him get to a point where flare ups are about once a month vs several times a week. He does not follow it 100% and he does not take the supplements. He does though follow the 70/30 rule about 98% and he takes his own supplements which work for his body. He has had increased energy and has lost weight without losing muscle mass. I cannot say that this has been easy. Eating that many green leafy veggies is not what most of us are used to. However, if you can really get yourself in the mindset that you are going to do it and be committed - it is well worth the results.
