Summary: Simple language, powerful truths.
Review: As a nutritionist who is studying to become a doctor of naturopathy, this book is the required reading text for my living chemistry (biochemistry) class. I was thrilled to find simple, easy-to-understand explanations for why and how the body works.

It traces the appearance of "disease" in the body back to its origins - bad diet - and the adaptations the body must make in order to handle it. Now I know why mysterious symptoms seem sometimes to just "appear," and what triggered them. More importantly - how to reverse them! I now feel like a well-equipped healthcare practitioner.

This book just became the first "health" book I would hand someone seeking to improve their wellbeing.

Summary: Ease up on protein
Review: The central theme of this book is that the acid-alkali balance in your body is extremely important to your health. If you ever used the self-cleaning cycle of an oven you noticed that any liquid that spilled in the oven was turned into an ash. Inside your body, the parts of food that went through the digestive process and were not digested were turned into an ash (not including fibers that just passed through undigested). The ash left behind after eating high protein food is strongly acidic. Strong acids can be tolerated in the stomach but they can't be tolerated in the urinary tract - they would cause severe burns there. So they must be neutralized. If you have reserves of sodium in your body you will be able to neutralize the acid easily. But if you don't, your body must take sodium or calcium from other duties and apply them to neutralizing acid. This loss of sodium or calcium hurts you in the long run. It is the author's contention that if you eat foods that produce an alkali ash and cut back on protein foods, you will be healthy. So eat those fruits and veggies, and don't load up on the biggest steak on the menu. To learn more, get the book.
