 A few excerpts show that some rational thought is needed January 19, 2008

Here are a few excerpts that convinced me that this book is way off base.
For starters, the book's disclaimer: "The information in this book is given strictly for educational and research purposes. The author and publisher do not prescribe or recommend, and assume no responsibility. In no way should this information be considered a substitute for competent health care by the professional of your choice. In the event you use this information without your doctor's approval, you are prescribing for yourself, with is your constitutional right."
p. 57: "An alcoholic is one who takes more than one drink of anything on a daily basis". That gave me a good laugh.
p. 63: "The destructive emotion of slaughter is assimilated by one who eats flesh".
p. 67-8 cites an unnamed "study" from the "turn of the century" of people in northern Europe that lived over 100 years, stating "many of these lived up to 200 years". Many of the same people in the study had bad diet and were drunkards but they all ate food in moderation as their key to longevity. Umm, this contradicts the argument against alcohol from p.57.
p. 109 "To avoid sunburn is foolish" Oh really, what would my dermatologist think?
p. 115 "Red meat is red because it is dyed. The dye is a petroleum product..." There is some truth to this on meats that have hit their expiration date, but -- red meat is red because it is red.
In retrospect the disclaimer should have read "Rather than forming decisions based on decades of medical research using proven protocols including clinical trials, the opinions provided in this book are drawn from the latest trends in alternative medicines with no scientific basis. After reading this book, please go to my website to buy my products."
Time to go barbecue a pork shoulder.

Not a fun read. It did not keep my interest at all. I wish I purchased another book with the same topic with more "UMPH!"

I've read four books on this subject, and EVERY ONE of them says different things about what is acid and what is alkaline. Even the people who are supposed to be researching and studying this thoroughly don't know what is going on, but they pass the information on anyway and expect us to follow and believe it? In addition, if what all these people are saying is true, then half the American population should be dead. Period. There is no way a human being should be able to live eating the typical American diet of junk food and very little fruits/veggies, smoking, drinking, etc.
There is health-promoting info in here, however, but that is just basic common sense: Eat more fruits/veggies, drink more water, and cut down on meats and alcahol, etc. Because of that, I'll give it a decent rating, but don't expect to find any hard answers in this, or any other book of its kind.
 This is an EXCELLENT book ! October 28, 2007

I have been aware of the importance of an alkaline body for over a decade and faithfully drink my alkaline water since the diet is harder to maintain. Dr. Baroody hit's it right on the nose about the importance of alkalinity and acidosis! I haven't had acid reflux, bowel problems, weight problems or sickness issues for 10 years! Cancer isn't even a worry for me or my family. I don't care what some chemistry professor says since he or she is not of physiologist nor a nutritionist and has probably never helped a person get well in their life. GREAT book and great information!

This is nonsensical foolishness. I am a chemistry professor- (Organic, Biochemisty, toxicology) The book is a load of cr*p. There is no scientific basis for much of anything in the book. Plain and simple it is a scam.
