I was hoping this book would teach me how to test my pH. Instead it says to forget testing, because it is almost impossible to tell accurately from body fluids the state of body tissues. OK, sounds reasonable. What then can you do? Just adopt foods and practices that are alkaline-forming and let your body sort it out. This book tells you what they are. Remember that some acid-forming foods are necessary for good health. So the issue is balance.

Moody Baroody is not going to change his title, but this somewhat hard line guy has a valid point anyway. Eating seventy to eighty percent fruits, veggies, (and milk products if you do so) is a really big factor in staying healthy. If you do hard physical work you get some leeway because your body burns off the acid foods (meat, beans, bread, candy) . Years before reading this book, and knowing somewhat about the alkaline principle from Cayce, I roughly ate an alkaline diet as a vegetarian for t...more
At first this book made a lot of sense to me - eat lots of fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water, etc. But then he says we shouldn't eat fruits and vegetables together. I am all for eating better, getting healthier naturally but I am not going to go as far as Baroody on timing when I eat what and when I drink water and don't... But anyway, I kept reading, trying to glean a bit more info. He started talking about people who eat healthy live to 150 years old. At that point, I lost interest. I...more
I purchased this book on a trip to Santa Fe. It was well worth the investment. I read it on the plane back home and realized that I was acid high. I immediately started applying some of the strategies and saw a significant difference in my overall health and wellbeing. I recommend it as a good starter read for getting healthy.
great nutritional info on how our bodies process certain foods... but the recommended food combinations are not realistic (and I don't agree with all of them)
also, the guy is insane... knowledgeable but totally loony... (didja know GOD is alkalizing in all HIS glory?!?!?!?! So eat him I guess)

If this book was called detox or die it would be ok. What gets me is people still believe it. Over the last 10 years study's have showed that you can eat all the so called " alkalizing" foods you want but it will not change the PH of the body.
I have been a vegan for some time now, after reading this book I am now living the Superior Diet and have been a raw vegan for now 42 days, dropped 15 lbs, skin is tighter, eyes are brighter and I have energy! Today is Sept. 6, 2010
One of the worst health books I've ever read.
Its not even that I don't agree with the concepts in the book, but he provides nothing convincing to support them: no studies or even testimonies. Weak.

This is a very interesting book. It expands on knowledge that I already have learned. I am listing it as a reference because, there are minute details I wish to refer back to for my wellness clients.
Wow I loved this book! It really stirred me and helped me to understand myself on a whole new level.
A must read, really helps you to understand so much in regards to our bodies and illness.
I thought the info was very good and I find myself going back to it again and again.
The American diet is almost all meat and carbs, which is very acidic. Shows many ways to alkalize your blood and body through diet and lifestyle.
not the greatest writing but i think there is good advice here.

Alkalize or Die--such an intense title, which of course sets itself up for mockery, but this is an excellent overview on how the food and environment we consume and are exposed to has such a dramatic effect on how we feel, think, and interact in the world. This book was recommended to me by trusted, "get it" people and I come back to it repeatedly to readjust and get a sense of the power of alternative modalities.

This book talked about how alkalize your body by your food, because if your body lessing the alkalize it will became easy get sick, tired and problem with your stomach. The opposite of Alkalize is Acid. And it will be not good for your body if it's too much acid.
There are few recipes in this book, and what kind suplements, foods, vegetables, and Fruits that can help your body to be alkalize.

This book changed my life...literally. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to understand health and wellness.
Learned clear definitions of alkaline and acid, how to prevent acid-related maladies that accelerate aging.
