Editorial Review:A practical diet plan for restoring the acid-alkaline balance your body needs to experience optimum health• Explains how acidification of the body contributes to disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema, and ulcers• Categorizes food according to its acidifying or alkalizing effect on the body, rather than by chemical composition• Contains food tables to help readers design the best diet for their health needsTo enjoy optimum health, our body needs balanced quantities of alkaline substances and acids. An imbalance can result in health problems ranging from minor skin irritations, chronic fatigue, back pain, and depression to arthritis, ulcers, and osteoporosis.Most people consume an abundance of highly processed foods that acidify the body and, as a result, are afflicted with many of these ailments. Naturopath and detoxification expert Christopher Vasey shows how a simple change in diet to restore your acid-alkaline balance can result in a vast improvement in health.Vasey provides easy test methods to determine your acid levels, how to interpret these test results, and ways to establish a proper diet to maximize your health. Rather than organizing alkaline and acid foods on the basis of their chemical composition, Vasey categorizes foods based on their actual alkalizing or acidifying effect on the body so that you can design a diet best suited for your particular health needs. He goes further to explain how some foods, such as fruits, can have either an alkalizing or an acidifying effect, depending on who eats them, and how to use alkaline supplements to support your dietary needs.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - VERY informative for a certain metabolic type ...
After reading all the reviews for this book, I decided to contribute because there is one important aspect that has not been mentioned, which has helped me immensely: it is a fine point on the subject of physiological acidity / alkalinity that I have not found in other books on the subject.
The author frequently states that he actually wrote this book for people who have an innate or periodically acquired metabolic deficiency for oxidizing acids (here is the fine point), particularly ... Read More
Rating:  - Wish I Could Find Any Evidence For These Diets
In spite of my best efforts to find any evidence that an acid urinary pH is associated with chronic disease, I cannot. I'm a physiologist and health educator, but I'm definitely not one of those establishment medicine "types" who believes that complimentary modalities are quackery. In fact, I'm a champion of alternative therapies and haven't been to an MD myself in many years. Unfortunately, all I am able to find in defense of the acid/base theory are homeopaths and naturopaths (each of whom I ... Read More
Rating: - after 3 months on diet
I've now been following this diet for three months. I would first like to say that at the beginning of this diet I had head to toe eczema for the first time. Also at least 50% of the symptoms listed applied to me. A pH test confirmed that my body was much to acidic. After 3 months of following this diet my eczema is almost complete'ly gone. Only left on my hands a little. Also I,ve had back pain since I was a teanager and now have no pain. More than half the symptoms I was experiencing are gone. I ... Read More

Rating: - Healed!
After many years of struggling with several illnesses and not finding help at the doctors office, I became desperate for an answer. Turning to God for help, I beleive He led me to this book. After reading it, and implimenting what he teaches, I saw a remarkable difference within 3 weeks, my illneses started to go away, one by one.
Today, I am alot better, and full of energy. However, I notice if I go back to the way I used ot eat, I feel bad again. I think what he says makes sense, and most ... Read More
