5.0 out of 5 stars Ease up on protein, March 22, 2002

By	LF "Keep your feedback to yourself, these are... (USA) - See all my reviews

The central theme of this book is that the acid-alkali balance in your body is extremely important to your health. If you ever used the self-cleaning cycle of an oven you noticed that any liquid that spilled in the oven was turned into an ash. Inside your body, the parts of food that went through the digestive process and were not digested were turned into an ash (not including fibers that just passed through undigested). The ash left behind after eating high protein food is strongly acidic. Strong acids can be tolerated in the stomach but they can't be tolerated in the urinary tract - they would cause severe burns there. So they must be neutralized. If you have reserves of sodium in your body you will be able to neutralize the acid easily. But if you don't, your body must take sodium or calcium from other duties and apply them to neutralizing acid. This loss of sodium or calcium hurts you in the long run. It is the author's contention that if you eat foods that produce an alkali ash and cut back on protein foods, you will be healthy. So eat those fruits and veggies, and don't load up on the biggest steak on the menu. To learn more, get the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life, March 3, 2006

By	MJC (Moncure, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This book was recommended to me because I was very sick for a long time. By learning exactly how my body works, I have been able to heal a lot. I am not completely well, but I am so empowered now, because I know what my body needs. Eating more fruits and vegetables is not just something our mothers and our government tells us to do for no reason. It is essential to our bodies! And protein is not the good thing that the food industry wants you to think it is. This book explains it all. I highly recommend this book. It should be required reading in schools, and by all doctors. It can change your life.
