Saved my life, Dec 28 2004
This review is from: Alkalize or Die (Paperback)
Before reading this book I was someone who was very lost. Four years ago I was diagnosed with Bi-polar and obsesive compulsive dissorder. Later on I also found out that I had ADD. I could no longer consentrate or live. I resorted to taking street drugs for relief. I was a "Macdonald's eater", eating 90% acid forming food a day. Three months ago I ended up in the hospital with something the doctors called total body failure. My bowels were irregular, my left side had doubled in size, i lost 30 pounds in two weeks, was having panic attacks, developped symptoms of Parkenson's, my kidney's had infection in them, severe acid reflux, etc. Then I began seeing a homeopath who saved my life. She gave me natural herbs that calmed my mind from the ADD & regulated my panic attacks. She also gave me this book. Now three months later, I can walk around freely where as I couldn't get out of bed before. I enjoy life for once and find no need for the massive consumption of drugs, cigarettes, alcohol as before. I'm closer to God and love my-self more than I thought possible. I look forward to life and thank those who opened my eyes to it. This book will save your life. Keep in mind, I'm only 18 years old.

This review is from: Alkalize or Die (Paperback)
I read one of the above reviewers thoughts, Reviewer: Lizz Clements (NH, USA)... I totally disagree with her, inside this book are charts showing the food pH. values of all fruits, vegetables, starches (even drinks) how mixing starches with proteins, vegetables mixed with proteins, or starches (visa a versa) how they all work together to cause either a healthy alkalized pH. Environment, or how you have created within yourself an acidic environment... This book has a fold out chart showing how to mix each food type, and what will be the results, you could not ask for a more in depth way to know how to adjust food groups easily towards balancing your body pH. causing a healing process... It's very simple after reading this "Fabulous Book" for the lay person to shop, buy, use alkalizing foods to restore your health vitality homeostasis, I recommend it highly, Sincerely Dennis...

Alkalize or Die by Theodore Baroody, Aug 25 2003
This review is from: Alkalize or Die (Paperback)
This is an excellent work. It describes the fundamental imbalance of the pH factor and the differential impact on a whole host of disease processes. The ideal diet should contain a fair amount of foods in the alkaline category. Too much acidity has been associated with many chronic conditions and diseases. The pH level may stabilize at approximately 5.5 to 7.0 on a scale of 0-14 with 0-7 being the acid foods and 7 or more being the alkaline foods. Our daily diet should consist of an optimal balance of the acid/alkaline foods. The Baroody work describes this pH balance in considerable detail. As such, it is a necessary part of the overall nutritional program for both children and adults. The standard diet of junk food tends to create a pH bias which is acidic rather than a representative balance of acid and alkaline food groups. This aspect is further developed in the book. As such, Baroody's work is a valuable supplement to your nutrition planning.
