In many ways, The pH Miracle is reminiscent of an earlier generation of diet books. Much of
the focus is on an intestinal cleansing program, followed by a diet that is 70 to 80 percent
vegetables, coupled with a tremendous selection of supplements that authors Robert and Shelley
Young recommend to everyone, no matter what their age, gender, or state of health. The Youngs
point their fingers at candida as a main culprit in the poor health of many people. Unfortunately,
they back up their claims with only vague references, such as "a 1991 study" and "a leading cancer
researcher." Many readers may wish for more specific evidence, but instead will have to make do
with enthusiastic recommendations, alphabetized lists of vegetables, and pleasing chapters with
vegetarian recipes that taste good no matter how you feel about the diet as a whole. Sprinkled
throughout the book are short testimonials of people who were able to reverse cancer, improve their
digestion, and lower their cholesterol by following these recommendations, and it's hard to argue
with the cholesterol-lowering results that a 70 percent vegetable diet will achieve. Still, the
medical value of much else in the book remains hotly contested, and as always, it's wise to check
with your doctor before starting off in search of miracles...
