Summary: On "The Ph Miracle For Diabetes"
Review: After reading "The Ph Miracle For Diabetes" I call that author a genius. I have been doing what he says to do, and my blood sugar ranges in the normal range, now. I had been diagnosed with diabetes in February 2003. I had been following Dr. Young's plan for health since the diagnosis, however, I really didn't know why it works. Now, I do. I do not take any prescription drugs. I have maintained a loss of 37 pounds over a year and a half, now, as a result of balancing the Ph factor in me. (This is another pointed phenomenon, too.)
It is remarkable and impressive how he defies what the medical "profession" believes, and he ventured out of the medical box of beliefs and discovered what really happens to cause diabetes. It is so clear and logical, that even I can understand, now.
"It is not a disease of the pancreas or the insulin producing beta cells or an autoimmune response, it is from the fluids which the pancreas cells are floating in."---Dr. Young
When the fluid is too acid, then the cells turn into a bacteria. He watched this transformation under his microscope. Then, he researched a diabetes scientist, from one hundred years ago, Dr. Bechamp, in the archives of books on the subject in the Medical Library in Paris. That French scientist had come to the same conclusion, that long ago, as Dr. Young had in this century. He studied Dr. Bechamp's findings and found them to be the same as his and saw the original drawings, which that scientist had made of the mutation of the pancreas cells transforming before his eyes, under his microscope. He said that it was an eerie feeling to see what that scientist had discovered was the same as he had recently discovered, as well. A hundred years ago, Medical Science went with Pasteur, who was wrong, according to Dr. Young.
Dr. Young states, "On the other hand with the Ph balance , the cells of the pancreas, insulin producing beta cells, and glucagon-producing alpha cells could and would function in perfect harmony, and the phenomenon of diabetes could not occur."

Dr. Young is endorsed by other medical doctors to be correct in his findings. He reads raw blood rather than blood with chemicals added for reading, the traditional medical school method. The addition of chemicals kills some of the cells which must be alive in order to read them properly.

This is an excellent book and very well written, so the that the layman can understand. The bottom line is that it works. Thousands of other diabetics, and I have kept our blood sugar level at a normal range by his method. That is to raise the alkaline level and lower the acid level, and the pancreas cells do not mutate into bacteria. The same acid pool blocks the pancreas' ability to secret insulin to counter act the extreme rise in the sugar level in the blood. The same acid pool causes cancer to grow in the pancreas. That is what my sister died of a year ago. From the same acid phenomenon, she had developed cancer of the pancreas. We could not persuade her to read on nor listen to Dr. Young. She had been trained as a Registered Nurse and was rigid in what she had learned in nurse training, years before. Dr. Young wrote her a letter explaining his findings in medical terms, so that she would understand. She, like so many medical doctors, was stuck in the narrow thinking of the "profession".

I am pleased with the method Dr. Young teaches and enjoy my blood sugar being normal and my weight down. I am overcoming the so-called hereditary dibetes syndrome.

"A cell is only as healthy as the fluids it is bathed in."---Dr. Young

Dr. Robert Young is a Doctor of Microbiology and specializes in the human body function. His specialty concentration is diabetes.

The same acid imbalance causes other diseases in our bodies. So, if we properly balance the acid to alkaline, we have more energy, and live a healthy and happier life.

Summary: Save money and buy the first book
Review: I was in the bookstore yesterday and had the option of buying The pH Miracle or the The pH Miracle for Diabetes, and I got The pH Miracle for Diabetes because I suffer from insulin resistance. Much to my surprise, The pH Miracle for Diabetes comes out and says that you should read The pH Miracle for a more detailed explanation of the program and how to implement it, and in fact The pH Miracle for Diabetes includes references to recipes that are only included in The pH Miracle. The first 54 pages of the book expound upon the nature of diabetes, but I just wanted to get on with the program and found plowing through this part difficult. Pages 55-163 detail the program, and the rest of the book (pages 164-333) consists of recipes, an idex, a list of resources for the various products recommended and a reference section. I haven't read The pH Miracle, so I don't know how much of The pH Miracle for Diabetes is needed by a diabetic. It does go over monitoring blood sugar and dealing with other issues that arise for the diabetic patient. But if that information is covered in the first book, save your money and skip this one. I am a propronent of the acid/alkaline view of health, but only gave this one 3 stars because of the reliance on the first book. It could easily have been made into a 100-page book that was less expensive and thus saved me the money to buy the first book or one of the recipe books.

Summary: The pH Miracle for Diabetes by Young
Review: The book describes the benefits of the B Vitamin Group
(B1,3,6,12) and Chromium for diabetics. B 12 is known to minimize
nerve damage resulting from diabetes. Dandelion Root is a known
stabilizer of blood sugar. Pancreatic support may be obtained
by taking Licorace, alfalfa and aloe. Weight training will be
helpful for metabolic reactions to deal with diabetes. The
"Lymphatic Massage" is known to be helpful for diabetics.
The work describes a plethora of recipes for diabetics.
i.e. veggie shakes, vegan chili, watercress soup and many more

The book is an excellent value for anyone serious about blood
sugar stabilization to deal effectively with diabetes in its
various stages.

Summary: Some craziness here
Review: Though the basics of Young's diet are convincing, and certainly cannot do any harm (eat more greens, less processed carbohydrate, etc.), there are some things in here that are, well, bizarre.
On two occasions he claims that the body makes potassium. Since potassium is an element, it is clear that this is not happening. This is apparently the result of pH drops that he recommends for drinking water. In his previous book, he suggests food quality hydrogen peroxide for this, but in this book the recommendation has mysteriously changed without a word about the previous recommendation.
He is also engaged in the diet author arms race concerning water consumption and number of meals per day. To be more advanced than the last author, it is apparently necessary to up the numbers of both. Here he suggests 1 liter/30 lbs. body weight per day (a 240 lb. person would be drinking approx. two gallons per day!), and this when the recommendation for ever more water is being called into question. He also recommends six to nine meals per day, which comes to eating every two to three and a half hours; since every meal causes insulin to be released, one would spend the entire day making the pancreas work at releasing insulin, which cannot be good for lessening insulin resistance (the inability of the body to react properly to the release of insulin, partly caused by years of too much insulin being released).
Also, his recommendations for fitness are strange (trampolines are good because they exercise all the cells of the body at once) and faddish (his paragraph on weight training can be safely ignored).
There are more reasonable pH diet books, and go to Hatfield for strength training advice, not the back of a diet book.

Summary: Marketing Hype For MLM Industry
Review: To me, this book is more about marketing hype for the Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) of products than anything else. Where is John Stossel to investigate when you need him? And, if fat is an acid problem, why doesn't vinegar make you fat? Perhaps because there are no calories in vinegar??? The products can only be sold by word of mouth and in your home on a table or shelf, sort of a shrine. Why? Why can't you sell it on eBay or in your own health food store? Maybe because that would mean price competition, and at $80 a pound for some powdered veggies you can understand they don't want to change that equation.

Beware when manipulative people, no matter how many scholarly credentials they have, ask you to open your wallet for products or tests designed to confirm the need for the products. They're trying to help you while helping themselves. Their spiel goes something like "Join me on an incredible journey ...." Is it just a cover story for being taken for a ride? Anyone considering this "opportunity" should investigate the MLM industry online ... there are plenty of watchdog sites to explain the aggressive marketing tactics used by some MLM charlatans. Books such as "Combating Cult Mind Control" by Hassan, or "Dangerous Persuaders" by Samways, or Butterfield's book on Amway ... With any MLM, you should first ask HOW will I recover my initial sales kit investment? WHO will buy these products at these prices? Take it from a Long Distance Marketing vet who took a bath ... MLM is set up for and by the people at the top of the pyramid who milk the profits. And if you encounter any alternative marketing strategies, like some warmly seductive member of the opposite sex who comes on to you - but won't give you the time of day when you're not BUYING something - report it to the company, the MLM marketing association, and any appropriate authorities. The public is not required to tolerate any form of harassment in sales, marketing, or employment situations. Complaining long and loud is the only way to put these manipulative people where they belong. If you don't, you too will end up feeling USED by the GREEDY motivations of others.

Finally a word about weight loss. I was talking to a nurse the other day, and she advised drinking ice water during the winter for weight loss to boost the metabolic rate and burn calories. In America we eat heavily all year round. In the summer we store fat when the heat reduces our metabolic rate, and in the winter we're supposed to burn the stored fat to stay warm, but instead we keep eating and live in warm homes. Then we complain we're fat.

And by the way, if you have an illness don't reject mainstream treatments out of hand. I alkalized with a close relative, the results were poor, though I'm not sure if they would have been any better with mainstream treatment. Each case is different. It's your health, get what YOU want, not what is PUSHED on you by GREEDY MLMers!
