Book Reviews of Alkalize or Die: Superior Health Through Proper Alkaline-Acid Balance
Book Review: Try, try again.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book that I read several years ago. I need to read it again. The only time that I get colds or flu is when I forget to follow its principles. I am now discovering that an alkaline diet helps with joint pain. I know it sounds strange, but this is the silver bullet alot of people have been looking for. Do not trust me, do your own reseaarch. Who needs a chemistry set when you have a human body? I got this book at the Edgar Cayce Center in Houston. I recommend that you research Cayce. A shortcut I have found is in using mouthwash as a supplement. For those times when I can't eat right. The mouthwash must contain thymol. That is what makes it alkaline. I have studied macrobiotics, the so called Sonoma diet, vegan and other diets. I think they are alkaline leaning diets. But again do your research and experiment cautiously. I wish you luck, no I wish you wisdom. Enoch.Book Review: fabulous data, life saving
Summary: 5 Stars
I read one of the above reviewers thoughts,Reviewer: Lizz Clements (NH, USA)... I totally disagree with her, inside this book are charts showing the food pH. values of all fruits, vegetables, starches (even drinks) how mixing starches with proteins, vegetables mixed with proteins, or starches (visa a versa) how they all work together to cause either a healthy alkalized pH. Environment, or how you have created within yourself an acidic environment... This book has a fold out chart showing how to mix each food type, and what will be the results, you could not ask for a more in depth way to know how to adjust food groups easily towards balancing your body pH. causing a healing process... It's very simple after reading this "Fabulous Book" for the lay person to shop, buy, use alkalizing foods to restore your health vitality homeostasis, I recommend it highly, Sincerely Dennis...
Book Review: The Controversy Continues
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Book Review: impassioned author writes a helpful yet strange book..
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, 'Alkalize or Die' is one weird book. First off, it is barely what one would consider a book. It is very poorly edited and structured, with fully half of the book being nothing but fluff. Secondly, the author throws in praises to God every other page ... which is certainly unexpected in book focused on nutrition. Lastly, the book doesn't really blaze any new trail. His main message of the importance of eating alkaline-forming foods has been around since at least the 1930s. The subject is controversial, scientific backing is weak or non-existent. Yet one can forgive most of these demerits because the author's passion of the topic is infectious. Through it all he no doubt warms the heart of his skeptics. Thankfully, based on what I've learned from this book, my diet is already fairly alkaline .
Bottom line: a dreadful book with a warm heart.
Book Review: Never felt better!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book for 2 reasons: one, to help with a chronic health issue and two, to lose a few stubborn pounds that I couldn't get rid of with daily exercise and doing what I thought was eating right. After 2 weeks of following the menu plan, I've achieved both. After just 4 days, I had so much more energy, getting up in the morning was easier, my joint pain is almost completely gone, my chronic issue is gone and I've lost 7 pounds. The menu plan is so helpful and keeps you on track that you don't even have to think. I've enjoyed discovering new foods and the resulting effects on my body. While some reviewers think this wasn't well written or there are too many God references (which there are only a handful), the basic premise of this book is to find the key to be and feel healthy! I highly recommend this book for everyone.
