Review
'In The pH Miracle, Dr Young may have discovered the true key to long life and health. It is simple and even spiritual in its approach and is founded on the truth your mother tried to give you: eat your vegetables!' James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
The author of the successful The pH Miracle offers a revolutionary new diet and health program for the millions who suffer from either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes has become an epidemic in the United States with an estimated 17 million people diagnosed with the disease and millions more at risk. With attention focused on blood sugar and insulin levels, however, the underlying cause of all the devastation-excess acidity of the body-has been overlooked. A nationally known microbiologist and nutritionist changes all that with this diet and lifestyle plan designed specifically for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. With advice on which foods to eat, which to avoid, and delicious recipes, as well as guidance on managing stress and exercising safely, Dr. Young's program balances the body's pH, controlling acidity and helping to reverse diabetes-or stop it before it starts. This remarkable plan can reduce and sometimes eliminate the need for insulin or oral medications. THE pH MIRACLE FOR DIABETES empowers readers to take control of their health, and feel better than they ever thought possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars On "The Ph Miracle For Diabetes", August 8, 2004

By	William j Mitchell (La Jolla, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading "The Ph Miracle For Diabetes" I call that author a genius. I have been doing what he says to do, and my blood sugar ranges in the normal range, now. I had been diagnosed with diabetes in February 2003. I had been following Dr. Young's plan for health since the diagnosis, however, I really didn't know why it works. Now, I do. I do not take any prescription drugs. I have maintained a loss of 37 pounds over a year and a half, now, as a result of balancing the Ph factor in me. (This is another pointed phenomenon, too.)
It is remarkable and impressive how he defies what the medical "profession" believes, and he ventured out of the medical box of beliefs and discovered what really happens to cause diabetes. It is so clear and logical, that even I can understand, now.
"It is not a disease of the pancreas or the insulin producing beta cells or an autoimmune response, it is from the fluids which the pancreas cells are floating in."---Dr. Young
When the fluid is too acid, then the cells turn into a bacteria. He watched this transformation under his microscope. Then, he researched a diabetes scientist, from one hundred years ago, Dr. Bechamp, in the archives of books on the subject in the Medical Library in Paris. That French scientist had come to the same conclusion, that long ago, as Dr. Young had in this century. He studied Dr. Bechamp's findings and found them to be the same as his and saw the original drawings, which that scientist had made of the mutation of the pancreas cells transforming before his eyes, under his microscope. He said that it was an eerie feeling to see what that scientist had discovered was the same as he had recently discovered, as well. A hundred years ago, Medical Science went with Pasteur, who was wrong, according to Dr. Young.
Dr. Young states, "On the other hand with the Ph balance , the cells of the pancreas, insulin producing beta cells, and glucagon-producing alpha cells could and would function in perfect harmony, and the phenomenon of diabetes could not occur."

Dr. Young is endorsed by other medical doctors to be correct in his findings. He reads raw blood rather than blood with chemicals added for reading, the traditional medical school method. The addition of chemicals kills some of the cells which must be alive in order to read them properly.

This is an excellent book and very well written, so the that the layman can understand. The bottom line is that it works. Thousands of other diabetics, and I have kept our blood sugar level at a normal range by his method. That is to raise the alkaline level and lower the acid level, and the pancreas cells do not mutate into bacteria. The same acid pool blocks the pancreas' ability to secret insulin to counter act the extreme rise in the sugar level in the blood. The same acid pool causes cancer to grow in the pancreas. That is what my sister died of a year ago. From the same acid phenomenon, she had developed cancer of the pancreas. We could not persuade her to read on nor listen to Dr. Young. She had been trained as a Registered Nurse and was rigid in what she had learned in nurse training, years before. Dr. Young wrote her a letter explaining his findings in medical terms, so that she would understand. She, like so many medical doctors, was stuck in the narrow thinking of the "profession".

I am pleased with the method Dr. Young teaches and enjoy my blood sugar being normal and my weight down. I am overcoming the so-called hereditary dibetes syndrome.

"A cell is only as healthy as the fluids it is bathed in."---Dr. Young

Dr. Robert Young is a Doctor of Microbiology and specializes in the human body function. His specialty concentration is diabetes.

The same acid imbalance causes other diseases in our bodies. So, if we properly balance the acid to alkaline, we have more energy, and live a healthy and happier life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Save money and buy the first book, September 9, 2004

By	Lisa M. Morrison - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was in the bookstore yesterday and had the option of buying The pH Miracle or the The pH Miracle for Diabetes, and I got The pH Miracle for Diabetes because I suffer from insulin resistance. Much to my surprise, The pH Miracle for Diabetes comes out and says that you should read The pH Miracle for a more detailed explanation of the program and how to implement it, and in fact The pH Miracle for Diabetes includes references to recipes that are only included in The pH Miracle. The first 54 pages of the book expound upon the nature of diabetes, but I just wanted to get on with the program and found plowing through this part difficult. Pages 55-163 detail the program, and the rest of the book (pages 164-333) consists of recipes, an idex, a list of resources for the various products recommended and a reference section. I haven't read The pH Miracle, so I don't know how much of The pH Miracle for Diabetes is needed by a diabetic. It does go over monitoring blood sugar and dealing with other issues that arise for the diabetic patient. But if that information is covered in the first book, save your money and skip this one. I am a propronent of the acid/alkaline view of health, but only gave this one 3 stars because of the reliance on the first book. It could easily have been made into a 100-page book that was less expensive and thus saved me the money to buy the first book or one of the recipe books.

4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT PLAN, June 8, 2005

By	C. Manning (Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I LOVE this plan. Its an excellent idea and I felt 1000% better after the first three days and then tried to eat something that was not on the plan and was flooded with a headache, and body pains like crazy.
I gave the book 4 stars because I would like a "Menu" plan . . . suggestions to eat this for breakfast, this for a snack and this for lunch etc. He gives really great information, just not how to combine foods so you don't feel hungry. The recipes in the back are excellent, but I wish they were better "catagorized", such as this is what you eat for balancing PH, this is what you eat when you are done balancing your PH etc. I would see a recipe that I would like to try and only read from their "reward" that it was a transitional recipe.
I have recommened this book to several of my diabetic friends. I have had EXCELLENT sugar levels using the diet and my asthma has improved dramatically!
