Summary: A Life Changing Book
Comment: AFter 3 1/2 weeks of following the Youngs program:
* I have lost 14 pounds
* All feelings of bloat and gas have vanished
* My energy has noticeably increased
* Every afternoon my brain got 'fuzzy' (dull, tired, hard to think) - this has entirely disappeared and I feel sharp and clear
Seeing my great results, a close friend bought the book and is trying it, too. Her results have been even better than mine, because her severe asthma has already lessened in only 10 days.
Some of the reviews here have critized the Youngs for various reasons:
First, "Those who have lost weight on the diet is almost certainly for no other reason than it has the tendency to be low in calories." Eating olive oil, avocados and nuts does NOT create a low calorie diet. Further, I have tried to lose weight in the past by cutting calories - and was spectacularly unsuccessful. We weight loss is happening because I am being cleaned from the inside out, and I can feel it clearly.
Other reviews say this book is '"dumbed down" for the masses' and others refer to it as 'junk science'. I don't need the blessing of "science" to attempt to heal myself. Are these the same experts who jeered at meditation, acupuncture and yoga? am responsible for my health, and the only authority I trust is my own body. It will give me all the feedback I need. I don't need long scientific documents, or the approval of others. As for the claim that there is nothing new about this information - that is exactly right. Acidity and alkalinity have been discussed for decades. Does this mean we can only write books on subjects that are completely new?
As for this comment: "for those of us in the real world, it's more trouble than it's worth." Gee, and all this time I thought I was in the 'real world' and yes, I agree that it's a lot of trouble. But how much trouble is it to be sick? To feel rotten? To be exhausted? To be fat? I really don't want to be one of those people who becomes seriously ill and then looks back and says, "If only I had ..."
Several reviewers criticized the Youngs for selling supplements. Isn't that the ideal work that we all wish for: to do what you love, make a contribution and be richly rewarded? Sounds ideal to me. And as for the comment that "you really can't follow their program without their products." ... absolutely not true. I haven't bought a single one of their supplements and am following their program without difficulty.
This is quite amazing: "I tried to sell the products I bought, but the prices were too high for online sales" and then this same author refers to "greed for many of the MLMers who feed from its trough." The writer admits that he failed in selling the products - yet obviously he was trying to do so. Does that mean he was greedy and trying to profit, too? Quite a contradiction.
Does this program work for everyone? I have no idea. My experience has been nourishing and enriching but we are all individuals, with different bodies and different chemistries. Personally, though, I eat in a very satisfying way, it's easy to follow the program, I feel better than I have in years and plan on living this way from now on. We must indeed listen to our own inner wisdom. Everything else is just static. If you're wondering about the merits of this, try it for a couple of weeks and let your body give you the only answer that matters.

Summary: A medical breakthrough? Not exactly!
Comment: The book claims to offer a "New Biology". It doesn't! What the authors have done is simply to present an old and extremely valuable principle of nutrition. The basis of the diet is that 80% of food eaten should have an alkaline effect in the body and the remaining 20% should have an acidic effect. This 80/20 ratio provides a healthy balance for almost everyone and was repeatedly advocated by Edgar Cayce and others nearly a hundred years ago.
The enthusiastic reviews that appear here are testimony to that principle. Insofar as the book brings it to public notice it provides a useful service. Because the basic principle is valuable it is tempting to assume the rest of the advice offered by the book is also. Unfortunately, it isn't. The book makes various claims which cannot be validated and which lead to a diet which is vegan with all fruit removed. This not only makes it extremely difficult to adhere to but denies what are known to be effective ways of removing toxicity from the body. Those who have lost weight on the diet is almost certainly for no other reason than it has the tendency to be low in calories.
The main criticism of the book is it's fundamental argument that health problems are caused by the body being over acidic. It goes so far as to suggest a 100% alkaline reacting diet and also advises artificially alkalising the body by taking hydrogen peroxide. The authors are on dangerous ground. Although acidity is a problem for many people, there are also conditions associated with alkalinity. These can be serious and difficult to cure. The quickest way of making such conditions worse would be to follow this advice.
