Book Reviews of Alkalize or Die: Superior Health Through Proper Alkaline-Acid Balance
Book Review: 3star book: balls, entrepreneurship, elbows
Summary: 3 Stars
I have to give this book 3 stars. 1 star for BALLS: I'm an author myself and wouldn't even think of putting a seemingly unfinished book on the market. This book is a loose collection of powerfully worded texts, typed down in Times New Roman with apparently little editing and almost no formatting. He even tucked a bibliography somewhere around the middle of the book; without ever referencing the works in there. Where I would hesitate to think of approaching an editor, he's in the 10th edition with more than 100 000 copies sold. Impressive.
1 star for ENTREPRENEURSHIP: Theodore A. Baroody really understands the market and how to make money. He's living the american dream, riding the wave of fortune. My true kudos for that. I wish I had 1/2 of his understanding and power to make-it-happen. I think he should write a second book just on how to find markets and how to work them. I would definitely buy it too! While you can immediately find more free and more detailed info than in his book with just googling "Alkaline diet", sales are strong.
1 star for ELBOWS: Baroody is the one and only author who deleted my customer image. I uploaded an imagine of me displaying my copy of his book, and within 24 hours he deleted it. Truly a soloist this man keeps distance from previous customers. Obviously he knows about his lack of sustainability and thus just goes for first-time buyers. I wish Baroody good luck with further sales and spreading the message of foods/nutritional supplements that make people more alkaline, as opposed to sour. The world needs it. Urgently.
Book Review: The book is a little silly, but the diet is right on
Summary: 4 Stars
After experimenting with many diets, I finally settled on the raw food diet. While it's not exactly the same as the alkaline diet, it basically does the same thing because just about everything that you can eat raw is on the alkaline side. But before arriving there, I did try his version of things and alkalizing your body really does produce better health. At this point in time I eat almost 100% raw, but I do eat some cooked foods occasionally and I've found that it really does have an effect on my health to eat things that are very acidic. A big soda completely zaps my energy. So does eating meat. So if you are looking into the alkaline diet for health, I strongly believe in it. However, this book is a little silly at times. This book isn't very scientific, he brings his religious and other beliefs into it, and makes some extraordinary claims (we're really supposed to believe that he met a man who was 140 years old?). And his reasoning as to why we shouldn't eat meat? It's murder. I know there are many people who feel that way, but I'd just like a better scientific reason (it is, by the way, very acidic, which would have worked for me). If you are already somewhat convinced that the alkaline diet is the way to go, you will probably get something out of it. The alkaline charts are very extensive and helpful. However, if you're just curious and hoping that he will convince you that this diet is right for you...it's probably not going to do that.Book Review: Great book to help you understand how to be healthy.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book that helped me back in 2003-2004 when I had a brush with death. It gave me a much needed understanding about my body and how to take care of it. I asked God for help and he answered me. This book was one of my answers. Since I have heeded it's advice neither me nor my hubby has had any sickness from 2004 till the present time in 2011. No colds, flue, tummy aches, and the like. It also was one of the things that enabled me to get well, even though it was a long hard road through 2007. Now that tells me a lot. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and read this book and implement it's suggestions on how to become alkaline. You will live a much healthier and happier life without drugs, flue shots or going to the doctor as much. I believe in preventative medicine and staying healthy. Trust me it's much more fun! This book will certainly help with that. After all most of take better care of our cars then our bodies and that shouldn't be! Now I tell everyone about this book. I even buy these books and give them away to those who are sick. It's really simple to be healthy. We don't have to be sick. We don't have to have any diseases or sicknesses if we do the correct things for our bodies. Our bodies are an amazing machine that God has given us. It's our job to take care of our body properly and to not abuse it. Enjoy!Book Review: Great Reference Book on Alkalinity
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an easy, quick read with very short to-the-point chapters (some only a page long!). Dr. Baroody explains clearly what it means to be alkaline, the eating "rule of 80/20" and how eating acidic foods uses up your alkaline reserves.
Dr. Baroody writes many tidbits that other authors of other books on alkalinity overlook, such as the role of HCL acid in the stomach in creating alkalinity, how the moonlight can be alkalizing, as well as certain colors. His book contains a list of foods with their Ph levels, as well as explanations of how altering the foods can change their Ph level. For example, cooking, smoking and even eating foods in bad combinations can increase their acidity.
Dr. Baroody explains that all drugs are very acidic. (Is it any wonder that MDs don't learn the importance of this factor in health? Medical schools are funded by the drug companies.) But that applies to recreational drugs as well, and he claims that it takes years of abstinence to correct the degenerative cycle of marijuana.
This book is a keeper, since it makes a great reference book with its food-Ph lists and also the appendices, which include symptoms of acidity and recipes. Note: newer research may show he is wrong about almonds being alkaline; like other nuts, they are a bit acidic.
Book Review: Saved my life
Summary: 5 Stars
Before reading this book I was someone who was very lost. Four years ago I was diagnosed with Bi-polar and obsesive compulsive dissorder. Later on I also found out that I had ADD. I could no longer consentrate or live. I resorted to taking street drugs for relief. I was a "Macdonald's eater", eating 90% acid forming food a day.Three months ago I ended up in the hospital with something the doctors called total body failure. My bowels were irregular, my left side had doubled in size, i lost 30 pounds in two weeks, was having panic attacks, developped symptoms of Parkenson's, my kidney's had infection in them, severe acid reflux, etc.
Then I began seeing a homeopath who saved my life. She gave me natural herbs that calmed my mind from the ADD & regulated my panic attacks. She also gave me this book.
Now three months later, I can walk around freely where as I couldn't get out of bed before. I enjoy life for once and find no need for the massive consumption of drugs, cigarettes, alcohol as before. I'm closer to God and love my-self more than I thought possible. I look forward to life and thank those who opened my eyes to it.
This book will save your life. Keep in mind, I'm only 18 years old.
