Summary: Great Overview of Alternative Health Technics
Review: I was impressed by the science (chemistry) behind the reasoning in this book. It is presented in an easy-to-understand form and lists many alternative ways of improving one's health and longevity, including pH balance and aging, far infrared technology, and magnetic technologies. This is great and I am sampling the benefits from at least these three fields to improve my longevity. Thanks to the author for his insight.

Summary: Water Ionizers are Very Good!
Review: Mr. Whang's book - in my opinion - should be a "must read" for everyone. I have made an extensive study of these machines and their use, have used one myself for over a year and find that my weight has dropped as did Mr. Whang's; and be assured that the alkaline water will indeed "clean you out." One of the caveats in the instructions for use is to be cautious when first using alkaline water as it will cause loosening of the bowels for a short period. I can attest it does clean you out!The one thing Mr. Whang does not mention is that your water may not work well in an ionizer if it has too much salt or is too hard. Hardness over 200 ppm can give trouble - the solution is to use bottled water with a stand-alone unit and thus get all the benefits of alkaline and acidic water. Also as noted by one of the other reviews, adding alkaline drops to the water you drink is a good thing. It isn't as powerful as an Ionizer but sure beats doing nothing for your health.

Summary: Mr. Whang hit the nail on the head with acid overload.
Review: Of all health related books I've read Mr. Whang's Reverse Aging covers all aspects of getting well by eliminating the acid from the blood. He is right that most Americans will not change their diets and being informative as to using alkaline water was the best news I have read. The infrared, alkaline water and magnetic use information was very insightful, especially for someone who has health problems. Thanks Mr. Whang.

Summary: A Fool and his Health soon part.
Review: OK, there are some great explanations on how the body creates acid waste from poor food choices. BUT that's it. Poor food choices do create more acid waste but it has nothing to do with the pH of the food. If this were true than eating lots of eggs and meat would alkalize the body because they have an alkaline pH just like Whang's water. The fact is: eating too much eggs and meat CAN lead to more acid waste in the tissues. Consuming alkaline ionized water, with loads of calcium, will eventually end up in your arteries causing only problems when you get older. If anyone wants to learn about the criteria for healthy drinking water they should be buying all the books on Victor Schauberger, the greatest water researcher that ever lived! If you don't know Victor Schauberger, you don't know a thing about water! Interesting enough he advocated drinking just the opposite, water that was slightly acidic using very small amounts of carbonic acid. He proved he could alkalize tissue faster than anything else known to man by drinking water that was slightly acidic. This also makes perfect sense in terms of homeopathy. If like cures like, as proven in homeopathy over 200 years ago, then drinking water that is slightly acidic (NOT alkaline!) would in turn eliminate excess acidic waste in the tissues. What about all those testimonials you say? It is a fact that placebo can makeup 40% of claims. But the obvious truth is: all of these users were drinking "MORE" water which that in itself gives great benefits, as proven in "Your Bodies Many Cries for Water" by Batmanghelidj. All those people drinking alkaline water should do their home work instead of blindly jumping on some band wagon with a fool promoting his products.

Summary: STOP the INSANITY!
Review: Page 2 pretty much sums it up. Sang Whang's 78 year old father dropped dead of a stroke just before he was about to tell the world his secret of drinking alkaline based water, during a radio interview. That should have been warning enough. Most people don't have a clue HOW to alkalize tissue. If drinking alkaline water was the answer, then why doesn't NATURE follow the same principle?? ALL fruit and vegetables have a great ORP (like the micro-water) BUT their pH is between 1.9-(like lemons-a powerful alkalizer) and 6.8, UNLIKE the micro-water units being promoted in this book. 99% of all herbs also have an acidic pH! Pickup a lousy pH meter and test them yourselves. Then there are the "essential fatty ACIDS", which are the good fats. They also alkalize tissue. And of course the essential amino ACIDS which we can't live without!! Most healthy streams (used for drinking) have a pH that can range from 5.5-6.8(Courtesy of Environment Canada), while sea water (which is not meant for drinking) has a pH of 8-8.4 The point is: ACID is NOT a bad four letter word, there are good acids and bad acids. Drinking alkaline based water is NOT the answer as this book makes it out to be. Both my grandparents are in their 90's and still living on their own, which wouldn't be happening if they were drinking water with a pH of 8-10! If you want to buy a water ionizer, which this entire book promotes, then use it to bathe in. If it doesn't produce enough water to bathe in, soak your entire feet in the water. This alkaline water won't strip your skin like most "alkaline" based soaps, and will help to "pull" acid "waste" from your lymphatic system similar to the corel based sea water in Okinawa. After soaking in the tub, spray some of the acidic water on to help your skin retain more moisture. Let's just hope that Mr. Whang is getting a LOT of vitamin K on a daily basis to prolong the same unfortunate dreadful event that his father suffered from at the young Japanese age of 78 from drinking alkaline based water. (Japan has more centaurians than any other country in the world, many who drink ACIDIC Japanese wine on a daily basis & swim/BATHE (not drink) in Okinawa corel based waters)

Review: Sang Whang's "Reverse Aging" reveals tremendous insight into the need for alkaline food and water consumption required for detoxifying our bodies. I believe this book reveals some of the most important information relevant to health ever published. Bob Pearson

Summary: A Fool and his Health soon part.
Review: Sorry to disappoint all of you who are pumped about about the acid/alkaline theory. The author of this book makes it seem as if we will all become champions by drinking water with a high pH. This just isn't true, for several reasons. The authors research is based on nothing. It's based on his opinion, which is foolish. He throws in a whole bunch of scientific jargon, as if its going to win us all over. The fact is, drinking water with a high pH can be detrimental to your health, not positive. Putting those drops in your water "clusters" the water, making the molecules smaller, thereby hydrating the body more than regular water. This is bad because it tricks the body into overhydrating, and can wreak havoc in your stomach. Dr. David Wheeler points this out on his site thoroughly. Again, don't want to disappoint the fans of this theory, but there's a lot more to it than drinking alkaline water to become healthy. Half the people who drink this water will become too alkaline, and could do some serious damage, like not producing stomach acid anymore. It's happened to thousands. I urge you all to do natural things. Not use medication, like Alkaline water. It IS indeed medicine. The body WILL try to reject it.
