Finally, a cure
I came to this book in desperation after suffering from chronic sinusitis for years. Anyone who has suffered from this miserable condition will know just how much it can blight your life.
Antibiotics work initially to check this condition but after a while the infection becomes totally resistant, after which the doctors will say "sorry, nothing more we can do". At which point you're on your own.
I spent a fortune on various alternative solutions such as herbalism, salt irrigation, colloidal silver, etc., none of which did any good.
Then I found this book. I don't care how it's written, how poor the illustrations might be, or how cranky the author might appear. For me IT WORKED! By following the dietary advice in this book I am now cured. I can breathe, I can sleep at night, no more pain in the teeth and face, and no more foul gunk in the sinuses.
I'm quite sure many other diseases can be cured by following the author's advice and ditching the junk food and non-food that western society finds so appealing.
Worth every penny.

Way To Increase Your Energy
This book is well written and full of detailed, quality information about what is called the alkalarian life. The basic assumption is that our traditional diets and lifestyles in Western society create a great deal of acid throughout our body causing us to rot from inside out. In trying to find a solution to this problem, the author, after much research, has come to the conclusion that the way to combat this acidity is to eat foods with a predominantly alkaline base, so that we can be at our ideal PH of 7.365 (that being slightly more alkaline than acid - the pH scale running from 0 - 14). If you do buy this book and apply the principles in it, the least you can expect is significantly higher levels of energy, and ideally ending up looking and feeling a lot better consistently.

open mind
Despite the appaling cover this is actually an excellent book which is accessible to laymen and those with scientific knowledge.

I am a scientist with a PhD in respiratory medicine. I have suffered with pneumonia on several occasions, at times when i have beeing eating badly and living a hectic stressful lifestyle.
I am convinced that the basic priciple behind this book, that blood pH has a significant effect on physical health, is credible and that by controlling the pH by chosing your foods carefully you could positively influence or prevent a host of medical conditions including most cancers, most infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and most cardiovascular disorders

However, i did feel a little uncomfortable about some of the extreme diets suggested, and the constant plugging of Dr Youngs supplements. Despite this obvious money making attempt, there is still value in the narrative. I agree the pictures are not fantastic, but who so what.

My view is that it would be sensible to take the information on board, but don't throw away the tablets just yet. Eat fresh foods, avoid processed sugar filled foods, do exercise and avoid stress, too much booze and definitely fags.

Lets face it, who wants to live till they are 200??
