Book Reviews of Alkalize or Die: Superior Health Through Proper Alkaline-Acid Balance
Book Review: Interesting approach, poor effort
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very excited to read this book but was quite disappointed after getting through only a 1/4 of it (I did read the entire book). My main issue is that there is no references cited in this book. If you're willing to take the author at his word on any number of various health topics / alternative medicine then you'll have no problem with this book. Personally I found it mildly annoying to see page after page of the author spouting off information that would make anyone do a double take and providing no backup on it. If you're used to reading material that contains proper references /citations you will be extremely disappointed.
My second issue is I did not buy this book to read about god, I bought it to read about nutrition. References to god pop up much too often for my liking.
Final issue is the last 30 pages are a catalog for various health items the author is selling. It just brings the quality of the book down for me when stuff like this gets thrown into a book.
All in all, the acid/alkaline approach is a fantastic tool to apply to your or your clients health and nutrition but I would look elsewhere for a better source of information.
Book Review: HEALTH AND VITALITY CAN BE YOURS
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who has suffered various health, and energy problems over the years, I feel well placed to offer my opinion on this particular book. With countless authors offering information on diet and nutrition, how do you know where to start? What is more, with so much contradictory information around, how do you know what is effective, and what is not worth bothering with? ALKALIZE OR DIE is the book that has helped change my Life. Not only does it give a complete overview of health, but it reveals the true secret of energised living: Alkaline Diet & Lifestyle. Read this book and discover the underlying causes of nearly all disease, both physical and mental. Discover how a change in diet, exercise, colour, and music(amongst other things), can bring your body back into perfect balance. You really can be alive again, and without the need for medical drugs and artificial stimulants.
I believe this book to be a great work, and a must read for anyone interesting in living to their optimum health and energy levels.

Book Review: An Adequate Introduction
Summary: 3 Stars
With the increasing amount of scientific studies concerning pH balance in the blood and enzymes in our diet, it is no wonder that more and more people are becoming curious about what is essentially causing the catastrophic plague of illness and disease found in modern day human beings. Mr. Baroody's book presents an introductory explanation and study of the body's alkalinity and how certain foods increase the alkalinity or acidity of the bloodstream. As more and more scientists are urging, his advice is to maintain a diet which creates an alkaline environment within the body. I agree with this advice. I have also found this book to be useful in determining which foods have an alkalizing effect on the body. Where this book is inadequate, however, is in balancing the combination of acid and alkaline forming foods in the equation that the author presents. Because he does not specify combining foods to fit this equation in terms of weight, the entire formula can be considered useless because it is not complete. For those of you who are searching for an introduction to alkalization, I recommend this book as a resource and not as a guide.Book Review: Alkalize or Die by Theodore Baroody
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent work. It describes the fundamentalimbalance of the pH factor and the differential impact on a
whole host of disease processes. The ideal diet should contain
a fair amount of foods in the alkaline category. Too much
acidity has been associated with many chronic conditions and
diseases. The pH level may stabilize at approximately 5.5
to 7.0 on a scale of 0-14 with 0-7 being the acid foods
and 7 or more being the alkaline foods. Our daily diet
should consist of an optimal balance of the acid/alkaline
foods. The Baroody work describes this pH balance in considerable
detail. As such, it is a necessary part of the overall
nutritional program for both children and adults.
The standard diet of junk food tends to create a pH bias
which is acidic rather than a representative balance of
acid and alkaline food groups. This aspect is further developed
in the book. As such, Baroody's work is a valuable supplement
to your nutrition planning.
Book Review: Review of a Review
Summary: 5 Stars
My review is not a review of the book, but rather a review of the review by LMiles. This review seems very strange. First, LMiles states that the book is well written and that the information is sound (worth buying). But then, the rest of the review is an attempt to discredit the author.
LMiles one key mistake is simple. We, the readers, want to learn about natural medicine not about traditional medicine. Clayton is a natural medicine school. LMiles is telling the reader to only accept ND's that have studied Traditional Medicine. I have reviewed the Traditional N.D. programs and they seem to take at least 4 years and have little or nothing to do with Natural Medicine.
LMiles spent how many hours crafting a review that basically states that the author should not reference his education, and that reference ones education is a trick used to sell items.
LMiles review seem much more like a ad for Traditional N.D. Programs, which again seem to teach nothing of natural medicine.
