I bought this book hoping to learn more about which foods are alkalyzing, but intstead, it's more a very general guide to better eating and health. It also contains some interesting information from Edgar Cayce. I'm not sorry I read the book, but it really wasn't what I was looking for.

The book was disappointing. There were no sample menus or lists of foods to use. I did like the first part though, describing the organs of the body and body parts. I did not agree with the metabolism of blood types.

most people dont know that most of us have put our bodies out of zinc with the convenience of fast foods and making the wrong choices of the foods we eat which most of the times are acidic this book shows you how to re alkaline your system so it can work at its optimum capacity, I recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to feel their best.

The Alkalizing Diet: Your Life Is In The Balance presents nutrition basics, then mentions that based on your blood type and your genes you probably should or shouldn't eat this or that food, then there are pages about fasting, and then more pages about the ancient history of foods, and even more words about the current state of foods, and then more pages about twelve plants, and finally, the book ends with, a few Edgar Cayce readings.

Page 186 from this book quotes reading 255 from the Edgar Cayce source: "To say that any diet that adds proper forces to the body for blood, muscle and nerve building, is in error, is to cut self off - even as to say, "This I may do, this I may NOT do", see?"

And then this author eventually stated, "I tried to convey in the previous chapters, this is a complex question - what should I eat? - with a number of possibilities. Anyone who tells you otherwise is being less than honest."
