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

 Interesting diet perspective based on pH and microbiology November 24, 2008
Leah C (Boca Raton, FL United States)
The book is not only very well written, but presents a very interesting perspective about nutrion and the disease/ cure connection. It relates the pH residue of food digestion to its impact on the bacterial environment of the body and the connection to most common diseases. It defines diet recommendations based on the pH residue of food, and nutritional values to boost the quality of nutrion and promote natural healing. It gives very practial advice on making appropriate diet changes to correct or ease many health problems. There are different levels of diet based on health conditions. My closest real life experience of this diet approach is the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach. Hippocrates' approach comes close to the strictest recommendations of this book, as they work to ease very diverse and often multiple serious disease conditions with 100% raw veagan food combined with gentle exercise, massage, and stress management. Although this diet perspective is not main stream at present, I find the diet recommendations very sound as they mostly fit within the current science based recommendations, but only go further. The question is how far is one willing to change their diet habits. Every one can decide based on how they feel about their health and wellbeing. This book can be a guideline or an inspiration to many who are interested in achieving optimum health with diet.
 Eliminate Eliminate Eliminate. November 23, 2008

If one was to follow the diet laid out in this book, one would be popping supplements and guzzling green juice every hour of the day. Don't eat meat, don't eat dairy, don't eat potatoes... We humans were born on EARTH where blenders are not part of the "natural environment". We were given teeth to bite things and lived for thousands of years by eating plants AND animals. The reason we are getting fat and sick now is that food companies mucked around with the nature of the food we eat in order to mass produce. An apple in 1950 had 4 times more nutrients than an apple does today. We need to get back to unmodified food and this doesn't mean just eliminate all food except green vegetables cooked lukewarm. If we were meant to eat nothing but liquid we would have no teeth.
Superb November 22, 2008

I have read a lot of health food books... but this one is far beyond. Dr Young is one rare person who dedicated himself for health and benefit of mankind. Others are dedicated to diseases.
Here is revealed astonishing and powerful relationship of pH balance.
Most important principle:
There is only one sickness and one disease and that is the over-acidification of the blood and tissues due to an inverted way of living eating and thinking.
All health literature are after one thing - purification. It's central to the health.
The pH principle is general for all humans and animals. But it's application for particular person is always individual.
EXCELLENT! October 29, 2008
