Product Description
With more than 50,000 first-edition copies sold, this expanded second edition provides the latest information on restoring your body’s acid-alkaline balance
• Discusses the role of enzyme supplements, prebiotic and probiotic complexes, and antioxidants in neutralizing and eliminating acids
• Addresses the relationship of proper hydration to essential enzyme activity and acid elimination
• Outlines a sample alkaline detoxification diet
Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body. As a result, they are afflicted with health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis. To enjoy optimum health, the body needs balanced quantities of alkaline and acid substances. In The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-alkaline balance can result in vast improvements in health.
With two new chapters, this updated and expanded second edition provides the latest information on proper hydration and deacidification, important alkalizing supplements, and how to eliminate the body’s accumulated acids through intestinal cleansing. It also includes a new, detailed example of an alkaline detoxifying diet. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods based on their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods by their effect on the body, explaining that some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them. He describes how to determine your acid levels and how to design a diet best suited for your particular health needs.

This book is a must read! The Acid-Alkaline Diet, takes you to the core of good health and teaches you step-by-step. It gives you the knowledge of how food works in the body and helps you better understand how to take care of this amazing machine. Make a commitment to yourself, it's your life, read the book. I had previously read something about the Acid-Alkaline, ph, by Dr. Jarvis, "Vermont Folk Medicine". "The Acid-Alkaline Diet", puts you right on track to good health.
The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Heanth August 2, 2009

Clearly set out information compatible with other info I've read on the subject, but this book is much more concise. Wonderfully practical and easy to relate to.

Grab a glass of water if you are going to read this book in its entirety as it is one of the driest reads on this subject.
You will have no problem finding a stack of books that tell you how to tract your own ph and with less clinical of an approach. The food comparisons were nothing new and the information has been surpassed by more current approaches, more interesting formats and more inspiring dialogues.
This book might be useful for students studying to be dieticians but his textbook prose was disappointing.
Nothing new unless the reader has never read any books on Acid vs Alkaline lifestyles prior to this writing.
Once is enough, reading Vasey's book, no need to keep it for referential reasons.
