The Mediterranean Heart Diet: How It Works and How to Reap the Health Benefits, with Recipes to Get You Started
All about the Mediterranean Diet, from guiding principles to specific recipes, for people who want to improve their health by improving their eating habits. Most people know that a Mediterranean-style diet is “good for them,” but many lack the information that determines the diet’s success. The Mediterranean Heart Diet does what most doctors who recommend the diet don’t: spells out which foods are “out” and which are “in,” and why.

Doctors recommend a Mediterranean eating style to thousands who are diagnosed each year with heart disease because it is “heart-healthy”-it promotes lower saturated-fat consumption, and helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

It is an all-purpose style of eating that also benefits those at risk of developing certain cancers and those with a diabetic condition, because it is high in antioxidant-rich foods and whole grains. The Mediterranean Heart Diet not only provides a full range of satisfying recipes but also covers the science behind the diet’s health benefits. Readers learn to create their own healthful eating plans and establish new habits.

More than 140 delicious recipes are included, from satisfying Lentil and Broccoli Soup to tangy Halibut in Citrus Sauce. All recipes feature nutritional analysis by serving, including food exchanges.

Customer Review: Faulty Information
This is an absolutley “terrible” book. It first tells you what the Mediterranean Diet was many years and and how it is so helpful - THEN it tells you how to make bread with WHITE ALL-PURPOSE BREAD FLOUR. WHAT A STUPID BOOK. Then it goes on to tell you how to update the diet with new technology learned over the last century. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE AUTHOR SHOULD BE DOING = THEY SHOULD BE TELLING YOU WHAT THE DIET “WAS” NOT WHAT THE AUTHOR THINKS IT SHOULD BE. And as an added “insult” they tell you to stop smoking. Do you think the Mediterranean”s “Smoked”. Of course, and they were living longer than anybody on earth. What arrogance.

Customer Review: Great Heart Diet
This is a diet that the average person can live with and lose weight with for the rest of their lives. It isn’t fast but steady, you’re not hungry and you can have veggies and fruits, and pastas, chicken & fish. And occassionaly dessert and red meat. I only wish there were more sample menues or more about portions. I am losing weight at about 2 or 3 lbs. weeks and I love it!

The Self-hypnosis Diet: Use the Power of Your Mind to Make Any Diet Work for You

With The Self-Hypnosis Diet, he shows that anyone can use medical hypnosis to achieve long-term success in shifting our appetites to healthier foods and reaching our desired weight.

Customer Review: I am enjoying my Self-Hypnosis Diet CD!
I am so glad that I ordered my Self-Hypnosis Diet CD. It is helping me stick to my eating plan, and reminds me daily of what I need to do to stay within the diet guidelines I have set for myself. A side benefit is that when I listen to it at night it relaxes me and helps me go to sleep!

The pH Miracle for Weight Loss: Balance Your Body Chemistry, Achieve Your Ideal Weight
Building on the success of their first book, the best-selling The pH Miracle, in this book Dr. Young and his wife turn their attention to what is considered by many health experts as America’s number one health crisis#151;the growing numbers of people who are seriously overweight or obese. Contrary to other popular weight loss books, most notably those, such as The Atkins’ Diet and The South Beach Diet, that tout a low-carbohydrate approach to achieving weight loss, the Youngs maintain that the primary culprit behind excessive weight gain, as well as many other health problems, is a chronic state of acidity in the body (a pH value below 7.1). Shifting the body’s chemistry to a more alkaline pH, they maintain, will quickly and easily result in the loss of excess weight and the buildup of more lean muscle tissue. The goal outlined by the Youngs in this book is to replace dieting with a 12-week, seven-step program that is intended to not only rejuvenate the entire body by replacing current blood cells with blood cells “at the peak of health,” but also to create an ongoing lifestyle that will permanently keep off the pounds that were shed during the 12-week period. In addition to a rich section on eating tips to create more alkalinity in the body (complete with an extensive list of recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus), the book also covers the importance of adequate water drinking, proper exercise, important nutritional supplements, learning how to manage thoughts and emotions that can contribute to acidity, goal-setting, and, for optimum results, a two-week cleansing program. In support of the program, the book also includes a collection of testimonials from people who have achieved significant weight loss on the program#151;further backed up by before-and-after photographs. With an increasing number of health professionals now emphasizing the importance of proper pH to overall health, the information this book presents is both timely and fairly easy to implement.

Customer Review: Great book and information!
Anyone who wants to live a heathly life owes it to their self to due some research. There are many reasons why Ph is so veyr important, there are doctors in other countries treating (curing…) cancer with Ph methods and yet the good ole’ American Medical system doesn’t allow any information on products that they can not profit from. Do your own research and you will confirm this. Yes the book’s diet will be extreme to most people, well duh, that’s why most are overwieght, sick and dying because this is not their diet, this isn’t on the fast food menus and no it’s in a TV dinner, ye sit requires effort, you you can listen to the everyday doctors and just take some new pill to suppress the symtoms and get worse.. Eat healthly live longer, your choice you decide!
Customer Review: Too many loop holes!
When i first started reading this book, i was intrigued, but now not so much. The book is a good read, but I believe Dr. Young needs to do more research and no be so bias. Being a vegatarian is not right for everyone. For instance, O blood types need meat for optimal health(organic is always the best), where as A’s do not do well with meat. Those who got good results from following his style of eating may have gotten great results because they are A types which is 40% of the population in the world. Also, he suggests taking clay during the 2 week cleanse, which is great but has no idea how and when it should be taken. Clay needs to be taken away from other supplements and food otherwise the clay may bind to the minerals and vitamins and expel them out of the body. Also, avacados are a great source of nutrition, but not for all blood types. For those of you who don’t believe in the eating right for your blood type should do the research and see that the priniple was and is applied to OM(Oriental medicine) which is at least 4000 years old. The koreans use it to, who are aware of it. The thing that really pissed me off is how Dr. Young acts like only his products are the best. He defitnetly is a great business man, who needs to continue educating himself in order to deliver correct information to the people.

Gary Null’s Power Aging

February 28, 2008 | By Doug In Uncategorized | Comments(0)

Gary Null’s Power Aging
As one of the founding leaders of the health food movement in the 1970s, and host of the longest-running radio show in America, New York Times bestselling author Gary Null has provided an inspiring voice for growing up healthy-and growing older wisely. But as Null makes clear in this groundbreaking book, growing older doesn’t mean having to look it, feel it, or accept it.

In fact, it’s easier than ever to fight the symptoms of age and feel as young as one wants-especially with the program outlined in this book. Based on sensible science and mind-over-body techniques, readers can:

€ Combine nutrition, exercise, lifestyle changes, and mental techniques
€ Control the visible-and invisible-signs of aging
€ Combat age-related conditions and illnesses

Customer Review: Power Aging, or what is wrong with the NHS
The drugs you get through the NHS and by prescription mostly have side-effects, and the effect wears off. The herbal remedies you read about here do not have side-effects, and you can benefit from them indefinitely. Antibiotics now have reduced effectiveness because of MRSA and clostridium difficile, so if you boost your immune system with herbal remedies, you can protect yourself from infections more easily.

Customer Review: Null and Void
After reading Gary Null’s book, I was disappointed, because I was expecting to learn more than what I already know. Also, the repetition in this book was obnoxious. There were a couple of things that didn’t ring true and I circled them for further research. If anyone has felt that anything in this book was not exactly accurate, I would love to hear from you. On a scale of 1 - 10, I give it a 4.

VOLUMETRICS WEIGHT-CONTROL PLAN

Dieters everywhere have the same complaint: they’re hungry all the time. Now this revolutionary book, based on sound scientific principles, can help you lose weight safely, effectively, and permanently without those gnawing pangs of hunger.

The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan introduces the concept of “energy density” — concentration of calories in each portion of food. Here you’ll learn how to avoid high energy — dense foods, and how such different nutritional factors as fat, fiber, protein, and water affect energy density and satiety. You’ll discover which foods, eaten under which circumstances, allow you to consume fewer calories and still be satisfied. And you’ll get to know the hidden calorie traps, seemingly innocuous foods that can sneak unwanted calories into your body. Finally, the authors offer 60 sensible, tasty and easy recipes, plus an integrated program of exercise and behavior management that can be sustained over a lifetime.

Used Price: $7.63
Customer Review: The Plan That Works
This is undoubtibly the most sane weight loss/control program ever. Once I actually read the beginning and understood the concept, it made total sense. I tried this after seeing it in Consumer’s Report as the #1 Plan where upon it is easy to loose the weight and keep it off. All that is required is to know if the calories of something (food)is lower, the same as, or higher than the actual gram weight. (Both of these are on labels of food purchased). There are tables to help you understand the concept as well as recipes and menues.
Customer Review: An eating strategy that works!
This is an eating strategy that works. But, your expectation should be to stay fit for life. Eat this way for the rest of your life. I am a male with a small frame. My normal weight in my early 20’s was about 128 to 135. I was considered too skinny. My optimal weight is 140 to 145 depending on muscle mass. This year I lost 25 pounds, from 170 to 145. In 6 months my belly fat went from 40 inches to 32 inches–that’s 8 inches! I also added muscle mass in my legs. The principles I took most to heart from this book are: –Do not get your calories from liquids. (I kept to this but could have done much better if I would have also quit coffee and daily wine consumption. –Switch to foods that are higher on the satiety index. The things that I did besides these two things as are follows: –I stepped up my exercise, little by little. Recently I started jogging. (jogging helped take off the last 5 pounds faster) –I did not count calories fully, but I became calorie conscious. I read all labels. I went to web sites. For instance, I switched to the Ruby Tuesday Veggie burger think I reduced the calorie. In reality, the veggie burger was over 800 calories without anything else. The bison burger was almost the same calories. All I was really doing is reducing fat, not calories. Educate yourself on what calories you consume. –I elimninated fast food and sodas altogether. I might eat fast food once in 4-6 weeks. –I reduced my portion size, trying to estimate calorie limits –I switched to Veggie burgers and very lean meats. Turkey sub at Subway, without the cheese, with light mayo, on wheat, and all the veggies, is incredible on the satiety index for me, and only about 400-500 calories. –I added breakfast. I never ate breakfast in my life. I mainly use yogurt. I buy all kinds of different yogurt so I do not get burned out. –I never go more than 3-4 hours without eating. This one is hard so I eat a bit of yogurt, freuit, or slim-fast protein drinks for the in-between meals. The idea is to keep the metabolism high. –I increased fruits and veggies, and other healthy foods. But I make sure that I do not overdo any one food. I try to not get redundant else I will get burned out–even on a good thing. This has to be maintainable the rest of my life. –I reduces drastically processed foods such as chips, cookies, wheat thins, and other snacks. I went to popcorn instead. –I have exceptions, but use the exceptions to make sure that my diet is not too restrictive. Too restrictive could cause me to just quit altogether. It is better to eat the chips, cookies, burgers, and fries on occasion if that is what keeps you fit for life. None of those things will cause you to sabotage the whole diet, but certainly they must become occasional, not the norm. –I never lost more than a pound or 2 a week. Big calorie deficits will slow down your metabolism. Create a small deficit, switch to foods high on satiety index, elimiate calories in drinks, and you can easily lose some initial weight. After that, it may become a struggle where you have to do many different things such as exercise or change up your food. –I could have had faster results had I adhered more attentively to the diet principles, but I just wanted progress, not overnight miracles. In all, this book can help set a eating strategy that will create the calorie deficit you need and never be hungry. Additionally, it is balanced, not too restrictive, and maintainable for life. That is the key to success. Low carb, low fat, and too low of calorie diets are not the answer for fit for life for most Americans. This book, however, must be combined with other diet principles. I do not view it as an end all, one resource book.

This book is my “go to” for information for the zone diet. I can figure out how to eat anything and still stay in the zone. I would highly reccommend it.
Customer Review: ZONE FOOD BLOCKS
Good information. Many fresh fruits and vegetables are not listed. Mostly canned, frozen, and processed foods are listed. The organization within the main categories is difficult to navigate. Rather than listing “fruits” within the Carbohydrate category and putting all fruits under that heading, they are listed alphabetically within the category and mixed in with everyting else.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: A Survival Guide
People who suffer from multiple chemical sensitivity (or MCS) develop severe allergic reactions to their environments. Solvents, pesticides, fresh paint, new carpets, perfumes, and air fresheners are just a few of the substances that can trigger an MCS attack. The condition is often hard to diagnose, and frustrated patients are frequently shuttled from doctor to doctor. This survival guide is based on the latest MCS research-and on the data that the author accumulated over five years researching the impact of MCS on its victims. She reviews what is known about MCS and its symptoms and provides step-by-step advice for coping with the condition, including taking steps to make your home safe, getting professional help, and mobilizing the support of family and friends.

Customer Review: Excellent Book!
This is an excellent book. I highly recommend it. It is great for people who are new to the MCS/Chemical Sensitivity world. It also takes you allot further. There are so many things in this book that others do not cover. There is also a nice resource listing of where to buy special products just for the Chemically Sensitive individual, I found that very useful as well. I would say if your new to MCS then this is the book for you. It is the most comprehensive, straight forward easy to read version. I would start here and then move on to others by Bonnye L. Matthews Or William Rea.
Customer Review: One of the best books on MCS
My wife suffers from MCS. As such, I have read most of the books available concerning MCS. Most books are from a medical professional covering a particular medical theory or treatment plan for MCS. What makes this book different is that it really explains the impact of MCS on people’s lives. It dispells the myths surrounding the various treatments. The book is based upon surveys and interviews with hundreds of MCS patients. As such, the advice is based upon their experiences. When discussing treatments, statistics are provided on how many people were helped, how many harmed, how many uncertain. This books is great for those new to MCS, those who have been around a long time, those who are patients, those who know someone with MCS. I would recommend this book be added to anyone’s library. This is not the only excellent book on MCS … it is now simply the first book I recommend that people read.

Customer Review: Convenient pH testing strips with reservations
These VAXA pH rewting stript are convenient for a man to use in tewting his pH balance in his urine. But the strip instructions call for weetting the strip mid-flow. I am not convinced it would be convenient for a woman to make a mid-flow catch. The strips appear accurate enough to provide an approximation of the pH balance for the urine during the day, and they are inexpensive enough so that the user doesn’t have to worry about breakng the bank when he uses them as often as recommended. I consider the strips to be a good value for those who feel it is necessary to tewt their pH balance regularly.
Customer Review: A must to stay healthy .Know your pH Level
I was very happy with the strips in their neat little transparent boxes.I want to order some more to give as gifts to loved ones since I have discovered the importance of knowing my pH level since most of us are over acidy & wonder why we are sick or over weight,so using these strips are the best way to discover for myself just how acidy I am,then turn it around with diet for better health.

The pH Balance Diet: Restore Your Acid-Alkaline Levels to Eliminate Toxins and Lose Weight

Quick and easy yet informative and thorough, The pH Balance Diet tells how to pH-test one’s body, correct imbalances, and eliminate toxic overload by following a dietary way of life that works. The book details the physiological process that occurs when digested foods create a pH imbalance. For example, since the body is naturally alkaline, problems arise when it processes too many acid-forming foods such as meat, dairy, wheat and sugar. The resulting excess acid waste leads to low energy levels, poor skin condition, brittle bones and serious health issues, including weight gain. The pH Balance Diet is a system that dramatically reverses this process. It reveals the top 80 alkaline-forming superfoods and specifies which acid-forming foods to avoid. An easy-to-follow section with over 40 recipes?— with?a special section on drinks that features a “juicing-for-superhealth” program — is included to help guide readers through the plan.

Customer Review: A one off comment
I found this book easy to read and pick up and find pages at random however, would like to read some other book on the same subject to compare detail. Seems to differ slightly from internet information I’ve found - by and large very helpful, had some trouble getting the ph test kits and not sure now that I’ve got the right ones, detail in that sphere would have been more helpful. The whole concept is of great interest to me and seems to be of great assistance.
Customer Review: Good pH Balance Resource Book
I purchased this book as I began my own research into adapting a pH balanced diet. It has been very helpful. I also believe it is easier to read and absorb the information over some of the other books on the same subject. It offers an easy to follow diet, if one wants to go 100% into the program. For others, the information provided is easy to adapt into any diet program. Simple to follow recipes are included too, some I have tried with good results.

The pH Miracle for Diabetes: The Revolutionary Diet Plan for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics
Now in trade paperback-the revolutionary new diet and health program for the millions who suffer from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes has become an epidemic in the United States with an estimated 17 million people diagnosed with the disease and millions more at risk. With attention focused on blood sugar and insulin levels, however, the underlying cause of all the devastation-excess acidity of the body-has been overlooked. A nationally known microbiologist and nutritionist changes all that with this diet and lifestyle plan designed for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. With advice on which foods to eat, which to avoid, and delicious recipes, as well as guidance on managing stress and exercising safely, Dr. Young’s program balances the body’s pH, controlling acidity and helping to reverse diabetes-or stop it before it starts.

Customer Review: A Good Idea
The pH Miracle for Diabetes By Robert O. Young, PhD, and Shelley Redford Young Warner Books ? 2004 All persons who are diabetic, whether Type 1 or Type 2, or pre-diabetics (”impaired fasting glucose”, meaning, BG readings from 110 - 126) like me, want to lead normal lives, eat “normal” things, be lethargic, and go about their business without regard to their BG readings. To place ourselves in such an arena, we all want a magic pill which will make us fit in with the lifestyles of 5/6th of the U.S. population. Unfortunately, no one has found such a pill, even though more and more books are written about the virtues of more and more pills, and new and improved dietary supplements. Before I review this book, I must first give you a mini-review of The Acid Alkaline Food Guide, by Dr. Susan E. Brown and Larry Trivieri, Jr., Squareone Publishers, ? 2006. This book gives a much more concise and better description of what pH balance is, how it affects your health, and the possible consequences of not keeping ones system “in balance”. pH means “potential for hydrogen”, a term used in chemistry, which indicates whether a solution, fluid or compound is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. pH can be measured in our bodies by testing saliva and urine or blood (pH strips are available for the first 2 tests), and if we have a heavy concentration of hydrogen in our systems, we are “acid based”. The scale goes from 0 to 14; to be healthy, we should have slightly alkaline, oxygen-rich arterial blood (7.365 to 7.45 is ideal) - a reading of 7.0 is neutral. Oxygen rich systems (alkaline based) neutralize formation of acids which might prove to be harmful. To help us stay in the neutral zone, our bodies use calcium and protein from bones, and possibly other places, to pump more alkaline to our systems in order to neutralize formation of acids, so as to keep us in balance. After the passage of time, if we fail to keep our systems in balance, and we become acid based, our bone formation will be reduced, calcium will be lost in our urine (leading to kidney stone formation), proteins will breakdown causing our muscles to waste away, our systems will be unable to repair cells, tissues and organs fully, our systems will age at an accelerated pace, more free radicals will be produced, we will be subject to increased fluid retention, and so forth. The American diet is centered around foods that create acid-base systems. Dr. Brown lists about 70 pages of foods we eat, and rates them according to whether the food is alkaline-forming or acid-forming. The first time I read through the list, I determined that I could not eat any food without running the risk of forming more acids in my system. To remedy this, Dr. Young would have me become a vegetarian, but Dr. Brown has an easier solution: eat more dark green vegetables than any other food group. She doesn’t require me to give up meat or eggs or nuts, so long as 2/3rd of my plate contains foods that are alkaline-forming (such as kale, collard greens, asparagus, snap green beans, etc.). Dr. Brown explains the basis for her conclusions. Our bodies have 3 methods of getting rid of unwanted “poisons”, or acid forming chemicals, all of which are filtered through our bodies: First, our lungs supply our bodies with much needed oxygen (as we breathe in), and dispel (exhale) carbon dioxide (the “burned” waste from our system - an inference might be made that aerobic exercise helps cleanse our system, because it requires lots of heavy breathing, which gives us a double dose of oxygen; in turn the CO2 expels the oxidized stuff we don’t need); Second, our kidneys filter unwanted sugars, and other waste products which we don’t need (we rid our systems through urine - a preventative measure we can take is to drink lots of pure, and hopefully ionized or ozone rich water, which will keep our kidneys healthy, as well as supply needed oxygen to our systems); and Third, our skin filters out other things, through our perspiration (which is also produced through exercise). With this background in mind, we can have a better understanding of what Dr. Young advocates in his book. He noticed the correlation between acid based systems and diabetes, and concluded that if our systems are neutral, or slightly alkaline, our blood sugars would be “normal”. As I have been checking my pH balance every morning, which I do before checking my BG reading, I can generally predict what my BG readings will be. If my system measures 7.0, which is neutral, my BG readings are pretty good (98 to 107). If my pH balance is 6.5, my BG readings will be higher (113, 114). Although Dr. Young’s book does not explain the chemistry involved in the process, he nonetheless makes a very persuasive argument that by eating lots of green vegetables, and drinking pure water mixed with green powder (the “green drink”), diabetics can improve their BG readings. Throughout the book, there are very interesting testimonials, given by both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics; all of them reported a marked improvement in their BG readings - once they began drinking green drinks, stopped drinking carbonated beverages, and changing their eating habits. The “green drink” is simply a mixture of oxygenated water (which can be produced with an ozone machine, or by adding sodium chlorite drops to pure water) and a teaspoon of green drink powder (which is nothing more than powdered, ground vegetables). I usually have two drinks a day, instead of an extra cup of coffee in the morning and a Diet Coke in the afternoon (which I have now given up). Dr. Young also requires us to exercise. He prefers aerobic exercise to anaerobic exercise. I have no quarrel with his observations, especially since I have a better understanding of the benefits of having more oxygen pumped through my lungs. Oxidation is a good thing as far as I am concerned, because it neutralizes unwanted hydrogen ions and other viruses. As a side note, I have switched from the treadmill to an elliptical trainer, which gives me a better, complete body workout in less time. Half of Dr. Young’s book consists of recipes, which are all vegetarian in nature. We have not tried any of them, for a number of reasons. First, Dr. Young assumes that food budgets are unlimited, even for those of us who do not live in California. Thus, we cannot eat avocados three or four times a day. Second, the ingredients used in the recipes (even by California standards) are very expensive. As I am writing this review, I can report that my pH readings do bear some correlation with my BG readings. When my pH is 6.5, my BG readings are a bit higher than when my pH is 7.0 or higher. Because of the changed variables (new exercise regimen, taking 2 green drinks a day, watching my intake of fatty foods, eating more green vegetables), I cannot isolate one component as causing the improvement in my BG readings. It would be wonderful to learn that an adjustment to our diets could rid us of the need for insulin, metformin, Avandia, and other such drugs. None of the books I have reviewed suggest that we remain idle - all of the authors want us to exercise regularly (which may turn out to be the most important component of all - a recent report indicated that the best preventative for Alzheimer’s Disease was to do 3 hours of aerobic exercise a week - oxygen is needed in your brain, you know). Dr. Young’s book is worth owning. Before you purchase this recommended book, I suggest that you consider reading other resources on ph balances.
Customer Review: The Revolutionart Diet Plan For type 1 and 2 Diabetics
The book, greatest purchase that you can have. It has helped out in the balance of food that can be eaten, it’s simple to follow and it even stastes good. I have always had a problem with what to cook for myself, that is the toughest part about a diabetic. With this book you are watching the sugar intake, the acid intake and more. I do wish there were more recipes to choose from that are just as good as these. I want to thank Dr. Young and his wife for doing all the research and providing everyone with facts. I have been a diabetic for 22 years and the change in my food without the acid is unreal to believe. This was a blessing for me. Thank you so much. Justina Perez

The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program
Kathleen DesMaisons started a diet revolution with her runaway bestseller, Potatoes Not Prozac, a startling new health and nutrition program for people who are sugar sensitive.

Customer Review: finally– the answer
I have binged since I was [...] and have always been ‘different’ around food. My friends would describe me as emotional or overly sensitive. I saw myself in the pages of this book. I have been working the Radiant Recovery program since October of last year, and I feel like a new person. It’s a journey and a process, but I will never go back to being hungry, miserable, and seeking my sugar fix all day!
Customer Review: Not the right solution for me
I read “The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program” and became sugar-free by following this program in 2002. Instead of being addicted to sugar, I became sort of addicted to DesMaisons’s website and whether or not I was receiving her approval on “doing the program” correctly. After two years of denying birthday cakes and Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, I could no longer stand it and took on a sugar binge of Willy Wonkan proportions. I learned that I needed to find out how to live WITH sugar (in a healthy way) not live without it. I tried a no-grain diet with lots of protein, fruits and vegetables. First I just did it on the weekdays only, but now I prefer to eat that way all the time. For guidelines on a no-grain diet, check out “The Paleo Diet” by Loren Cordain, or run a web search on “paleodiet.” Today I can have a piece of cake now and then, or some ice cream. Amazingly, sometimes I turn down sweets… unheard of! The difference is that now I can stop eating sugar once I start. It turns out I wasn’t addicted to sugar at all. Eating sugar was helping my body compensate for low energy. This book didn’t heal me of my core problem, but helped me to ignore it for a few years. I’m glad I found the real cure.

The pH Miracle for Weight Loss: Balance Your Body Chemistry, Achieve Your Ideal Weight

February 20, 2008 | By Doug In Uncategorized | Comments(0)

The pH Miracle for Weight Loss: Balance Your Body Chemistry, Achieve Your Ideal Weight
Building on the success of their first book, the best-selling The pH Miracle, in this book Dr. Young and his wife turn their attention to what is considered by many health experts as America’s number one health crisis#151;the growing numbers of people who are seriously overweight or obese. Contrary to other popular weight loss books, most notably those, such as The Atkins’ Diet and The South Beach Diet, that tout a low-carbohydrate approach to achieving weight loss, the Youngs maintain that the primary culprit behind excessive weight gain, as well as many other health problems, is a chronic state of acidity in the body (a pH value below 7.1). Shifting the body’s chemistry to a more alkaline pH, they maintain, will quickly and easily result in the loss of excess weight and the buildup of more lean muscle tissue. The goal outlined by the Youngs in this book is to replace dieting with a 12-week, seven-step program that is intended to not only rejuvenate the entire body by replacing current blood cells with blood cells “at the peak of health,” but also to create an ongoing lifestyle that will permanently keep off the pounds that were shed during the 12-week period. In addition to a rich section on eating tips to create more alkalinity in the body (complete with an extensive list of recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus), the book also covers the importance of adequate water drinking, proper exercise, important nutritional supplements, learning how to manage thoughts and emotions that can contribute to acidity, goal-setting, and, for optimum results, a two-week cleansing program. In support of the program, the book also includes a collection of testimonials from people who have achieved significant weight loss on the program#151;further backed up by before-and-after photographs. With an increasing number of health professionals now emphasizing the importance of proper pH to overall health, the information this book presents is both timely and fairly easy to implement. Larry Trivieri Jr.

Customer Review: Great book and information!
Anyone who wants to live a heathly life owes it to their self to due some research. There are many reasons why Ph is so veyr important, there are doctors in other countries treating (curing…) cancer with Ph methods and yet the good ole’ American Medical system doesn’t allow any information on products that they can not profit from. Do your own research and you will confirm this.

Yes the book’s diet will be extreme to most people, well duh, that’s why most are overwieght, sick and dying because this is not their diet, this isn’t on the fast food menus and no it’s in a TV dinner, ye sit requires effort, you you can listen to the everyday doctors and just take some new pill to suppress the symtoms and get worse.. Eat healthly live longer, your choice you decide!

Customer Review: Too many loop holes!
When i first started reading this book, i was intrigued, but now not so much. The book is a good read, but I believe Dr. Young needs to do more research and no be so bias. Being a vegatarian is not right for everyone. For instance, O blood types need meat for optimal health(organic is always the best), where as A’s do not do well with meat. Those who got good results from following his style of eating may have gotten great results because they are A types which is 40% of the population in the world.

Also, he suggests taking clay during the 2 week cleanse, which is great but has no idea how and when it should be taken. Clay needs to be taken away from other supplements and food otherwise the clay may bind to the minerals and vitamins and expel them out of the body. Also, avacados are a great source of nutrition, but not for all blood types.

For those of you who don’t believe in the eating right for your blood type should do the research and see that the priniple was and is applied to OM(Oriental medicine) which is at least 4000 years old. The koreans use it to, who are aware of it.

The thing that really pissed me off is how Dr. Young acts like only his products are the best. He defitnetly is a great business man, who needs to continue educating himself in order to deliver correct information to the people.

In doing so, it retains its landmark status as the definitive reference on aging.

Moreover, Physical Dimensions of Aging, Second Edition, focuses less on explaining the measurement techniques and research design and more on the outcome of the studies and their practical implications for everyday living. This approach will enable professionals and students to do the following: - Understand the physical aging process and its effects on other dimensions of life. - Apply the latest research in working with adults and the elderly. - Become more effective in their professions.

The structure of this new edition is more conducive to learning and features the following: - Chapter objectives - Key terms - Sidebars of capsule research studies - Testimonials, vignettes, and other tidbits that tie the research information to the real world - Review questions to assist students in synthesizing and remembering the information - Short lists of recommended reading in each chapter for those who want to pursue the topic in more detail - A glossary at the end of the book

This second edition is organized into five parts. Part I provides an introduction to aging, to the field of gerontology, and to the research process for studying individual differences. Part II describes the physical changes in structure, capacity, and endurance. Part III overviews the factors related to motor coordination, motor control, and skill learning for older adults. Part IV addresses physical-psychosocial relationships, including health, exercise, and cognitive function as well as health-related expectations of quality of life for older adults. Part V highlights physical performance and achievement especially to showcase the results from consistent effort and hard work of physically elite older adults as inspiration for others.

At a time when many people are telling older adults what they can’t do, professionals should be telling them what they can do. Physical Dimensions of Aging, Second Edition, will equip professionals to do so.

The pH Miracle for Diabetes: The Revolutionary Diet Plan for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics
Now in trade paperback-the revolutionary new diet and health program for the millions who suffer from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes has become an epidemic in the United States with an estimated 17 million people diagnosed with the disease and millions more at risk. With attention focused on blood sugar and insulin levels, however, the underlying cause of all the devastation-excess acidity of the body-has been overlooked. A nationally known microbiologist and nutritionist changes all that with this diet and lifestyle plan designed for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. With advice on which foods to eat, which to avoid, and delicious recipes, as well as guidance on managing stress and exercising safely, Dr. Young’s program balances the body’s pH, controlling acidity and helping to reverse diabetes-or stop it before it starts.

Customer Review: A Good Idea
The pH Miracle for Diabetes

By Robert O. Young, PhD, and Shelley Redford Young

Warner Books

? 2004

All persons who are diabetic, whether Type 1 or Type 2, or pre-diabetics (”impaired fasting glucose”, meaning, BG readings from 110 - 126) like me, want to lead normal lives, eat “normal” things, be lethargic, and go about their business without regard to their BG readings. To place ourselves in such an arena, we all want a magic pill which will make us fit in with the lifestyles of 5/6th of the U.S. population. Unfortunately, no one has found such a pill, even though more and more books are written about the virtues of more and more pills, and new and improved dietary supplements.

Before I review this book, I must first give you a mini-review of The Acid Alkaline Food Guide, by Dr. Susan E. Brown and Larry Trivieri, Jr., Squareone Publishers, ? 2006. This book gives a much more concise and better description of what pH balance is, how it affects your health, and the possible consequences of not keeping ones system “in balance”. pH means “potential for hydrogen”, a term used in chemistry, which indicates whether a solution, fluid or compound is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. pH can be measured in our bodies by testing saliva and urine or blood (pH strips are available for the first 2 tests), and if we have a heavy concentration of hydrogen in our systems, we are “acid based”. The scale goes from 0 to 14; to be healthy, we should have slightly alkaline, oxygen-rich arterial blood (7.365 to 7.45 is ideal) - a reading of 7.0 is neutral.

Oxygen rich systems (alkaline based) neutralize formation of acids which might prove to be harmful. To help us stay in the neutral zone, our bodies use calcium and protein from bones, and possibly other places, to pump more alkaline to our systems in order to neutralize formation of acids, so as to keep us in balance. After the passage of time, if we fail to keep our systems in balance, and we become acid based, our bone formation will be reduced, calcium will be lost in our urine (leading to kidney stone formation), proteins will breakdown causing our muscles to waste away, our systems will be unable to repair cells, tissues and organs fully, our systems will age at an accelerated pace, more free radicals will be produced, we will be subject to increased fluid retention, and so forth.

The American diet is centered around foods that create acid-base systems. Dr. Brown lists about 70 pages of foods we eat, and rates them according to whether the food is alkaline-forming or acid-forming. The first time I read through the list, I determined that I could not eat any food without running the risk of forming more acids in my system. To remedy this, Dr. Young would have me become a vegetarian, but Dr. Brown has an easier solution: eat more dark green vegetables than any other food group. She doesn’t require me to give up meat or eggs or nuts, so long as 2/3rd of my plate contains foods that are alkaline-forming (such as kale, collard greens, asparagus, snap green beans, etc.).

Dr. Brown explains the basis for her conclusions. Our bodies have 3 methods of getting rid of unwanted “poisons”, or acid forming chemicals, all of which are filtered through our bodies:

First, our lungs supply our bodies with much needed oxygen (as we breathe in), and dispel (exhale) carbon dioxide (the “burned” waste from our system - an inference might be made that aerobic exercise helps cleanse our system, because it requires lots of heavy breathing, which gives us a double dose of oxygen; in turn the CO2 expels the oxidized stuff we don’t need);

Second, our kidneys filter unwanted sugars, and other waste products which we don’t need (we rid our systems through urine - a preventative measure we can take is to drink lots of pure, and hopefully ionized or ozone rich water, which will keep our kidneys healthy, as well as supply needed oxygen to our systems); and

Third, our skin filters out other things, through our perspiration (which is also produced through exercise).

With this background in mind, we can have a better understanding of what Dr. Young advocates in his book. He noticed the correlation between acid based systems and diabetes, and concluded that if our systems are neutral, or slightly alkaline, our blood sugars would be “normal”. As I have been checking my pH balance every morning, which I do before checking my BG reading, I can generally predict what my BG readings will be. If my system measures 7.0, which is neutral, my BG readings are pretty good (98 to 107). If my pH balance is 6.5, my BG readings will be higher (113, 114).

Although Dr. Young’s book does not explain the chemistry involved in the process, he nonetheless makes a very persuasive argument that by eating lots of green vegetables, and drinking pure water mixed with green powder (the “green drink”), diabetics can improve their BG readings. Throughout the book, there are very interesting testimonials, given by both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics; all of them reported a marked improvement in their BG readings - once they began drinking green drinks, stopped drinking carbonated beverages, and changing their eating habits.

The “green drink” is simply a mixture of oxygenated water (which can be produced with an ozone machine, or by adding sodium chlorite drops to pure water) and a teaspoon of green drink powder (which is nothing more than powdered, ground vegetables). I usually have two drinks a day, instead of an extra cup of coffee in the morning and a Diet Coke in the afternoon (which I have now given up).

Dr. Young also requires us to exercise. He prefers aerobic exercise to anaerobic exercise. I have no quarrel with his observations, especially since I have a better understanding of the benefits of having more oxygen pumped through my lungs. Oxidation is a good thing as far as I am concerned, because it neutralizes unwanted hydrogen ions and other viruses. As a side note, I have switched from the treadmill to an elliptical trainer, which gives me a better, complete body workout in less time.

Half of Dr. Young’s book consists of recipes, which are all vegetarian in nature. We have not tried any of them, for a number of reasons. First, Dr. Young assumes that food budgets are unlimited, even for those of us who do not live in California. Thus, we cannot eat avocados three or four times a day. Second, the ingredients used in the recipes (even by California standards) are very expensive.

As I am writing this review, I can report that my pH readings do bear some correlation with my BG readings. When my pH is 6.5, my BG readings are a bit higher than when my pH is 7.0 or higher. Because of the changed variables (new exercise regimen, taking 2 green drinks a day, watching my intake of fatty foods, eating more green vegetables), I cannot isolate one component as causing the improvement in my BG readings.

It would be wonderful to learn that an adjustment to our diets could rid us of the need for insulin, metformin, Avandia, and other such drugs. None of the books I have reviewed suggest that we remain idle - all of the authors want us to exercise regularly (which may turn out to be the most important component of all - a recent report indicated that the best preventative for Alzheimer’s Disease was to do 3 hours of aerobic exercise a week - oxygen is needed in your brain, you know).

Dr. Young’s book is worth owning. Before you purchase this recommended book, I suggest that you consider reading other resources on ph balances.

VAXA, Attend, Strategy Pac, Natural Attention Deficit Disorder, (ADD) Medication

VAXA, Attend, Strategy Pac, Natural Attention Deficit Disorder, (ADD) Medication
What Is The Attend Strategy Pac? Vaxas Attend Strategy Pac, a Scientifically Advanced Neurological and Cerebral homeopathic medicinal strategy, is a 3-formula health strategy that offers safe, all natural nutritional support for those individuals experiencing distraction, inattentiveness and possible overactivity. It is thought that such individuals experience neurochemical deficiencies resulting in an imbalance in stimulation of the Reticular Activating System which may affect neural growth and neurotransmitter production within the Brain and Central Nervous System (CNS). When under the care of a physician, the Attend Strategy Pac may be useful to nutritionally supplement the strategy being utilized. Attend is formulated to supply the essential nutrients the body needs for the entire neural network. Memorin provides nutritional support to aid the body in memory retention, making learning easier and with less frustration. Extress aids the body’s natural process in minimizing and controlling unpredictable mood fluctuations.

Customer Review: ADHD Strategy Pac
After 3 months I was impressed by the Attend product.

I read the labels on these two additional Strategy Pac products and recognized them as a great combination of homeopathic, amino acids, enzymes, B-Complexes, and such.

I discovered homeopathic remedies last year. After having gone to doctors over the past 47 years of my life, I became unsatisfied with taking a pharmaceutical pill for everything. So having all these products combined together is perfect.

After reading several ADHD books, including two on Indigo Children, and consulted with several physicians, including three clinical ADHD testing professionals, these are the kind of products I prefer to choose over synthetic dangerous pharmaceuticals.

These supplements won’t cure everything though. You have to want to make a change in your lifestyle.

Gradually, we’ve removed much if not most, of the glutens and caseins in our diet. We removed packaged boxed foods from our cupboards and we eat whole foods.

Yes, I’m seeing a difference after 14 years of wondering what am I doing wrong with my two children? The conventional doctors just hand out ADHD meds, antibiotics, and decongestants, steroids, well on and on. There is too much documentation to not support these changes are necessary for a healthier life.

I saw long term what allergy meds did to my husband’s body after 30 years. Putting my children on a stimulus drug such as ADHD would eventually get their health to where my husband is. You only get so many heart beat in your life. You don’t want to wear your organs out too fast.

Good luck on your journey to knowledge. Read everything for yourself. It’s not the doctor’s fault and it’s not “their” health. They are driven by industry and truly can’t get off that financial tread mill. I’m lucky to have a family physician who totally supports my way of seeking answers. I will still rely on allopathic if necessary, but on it is extremely necessary.
