In 2007 I was diagnosed with "too many PEs (pulmonary embolisms) to count" in my lungs. The Pulmonary ER doc told me "You'll be on these drugs (heavy duty blood thinners) for the rest of your life." When I asked her if weight loss would help, specifically diet change and working out, she advised me to be careful about my heart rate. She told me that any one of the blood clots could move to my head or heart and kill me. It was, to say the least, not one of my best days. I went home and waited to die. A year later, still alive, I decided that if I were to die from working out and trying to get better, I would die on my feet, trying at least, for health and a better life. My friend Rachel, a trauma nurse, suggested first that I could probably lower or eliminate blood thinners (which basically starve oxygen from blood and organs) and I was determined to do so. I went to another PE specialist who gave me a cautionary okay. "If you feel symptoms, I want to see you again." I met amazing people on similar journeys to health and learned a lot. I began to make many steps of my own, slowly but always moving forward. In 2010 my friend told me about this book and I became meticulous about calculating pH. In one year I lost 80 pounds. I felt so amazing! This really works. Best of all, when I went for a check-up just this past January, (2015) the tests showed NO clots in any part of my body. Healing your blood = healing your life. I highly recommend this book. Special thanks to my friend Debby for the mentoring, daily help during that year and to the authors of this wonderful book. I promise to pay it forward. ♥

I did the diet for a while. It was hard to stay on because something about it isn't right about it. After about 20 pounds I fell off the wagon. I believe whole-heartedly in Alkalizing. I just dn't trust this author.

I understand Robert O. Young is a criminal, impersonating a doctor. His degrees are all fake, from what I read.

He understands food well enough, but it's not chemically balanced and my body didn't do well on it. Something is off about it.

I am working with Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution now and the Plant Paradox book he wrote. It's MUCH better for me because I feel more balanced and less ravenous. It's just as intense but I feel better on it, less hungry all the time, even though I am eating mostly leafy greens.

Young's diet was too radical to be achievable by anyone but Mormon's. They have the life-training and discipline and support system around them to stay on something like that. I am surrounded by fast-food glutonous, Pepsi guzzling idiots all day long. It makes the diet harder to maintain for mere mortals.

A friend lives this religiously because she was diagnosed with cancer, but the effects seem to be what I'm looking for, so we'll see. Yep seems good-but I'm not ready to go vegan, I love meat, always have, always will. maybe cut out dairy, but I haven't taken the leap yet/ more veggies for sure though!

I learned a lot about how much water the body needs, what KIND of water is ideal, and a lot about more alkaline foods. I love this approach to weightloss because most other diets don't make you HEALTHY. You can lose weight but not be HEALTHY or have a better-functioning body. Anyway... it was good, I just never finished it. :)

The author talked a good talk about acidity in our bodies, but too much of the book sounded like an ad for some special product. I'm always wary when something sounds too good to be true and this book was full of it.

This book will be great for people who were going through life overweight, including the simple program to keep and stay health.
