The pH Balance Diet: Restore Your Acid-Alkaline Levels to Eliminate Toxins an... by Bharti Vyas, Suzanne Le Quesne Amazon Price: $10.36
Customer Review: I found this book easy to read and pick up and find pages at random however, would like to read some other book on the same subject to compare detail. Seems to differ slightly from internet information I've found - by and large very helpful, had some trouble getting the ph test kits and not sure now that I've got the right ones, detail in that sphere would have been more helpful. The whole concept is of great interest to me and seems to be of great assistance.

The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health: Restore Your Health by Creating Ba... by Christopher Vasey Amazon Price: $10.36
Customer Review: After reading all the reviews for this book, I decided to contribute because there is one important aspect that has not been mentioned, which has helped me immensely: it is a fine point on the subject of physiological acidity / alkalinity that I have not found in other books on the subject.
The author frequently states that he actually wrote this book for people who have an innate or periodically acquired metabolic deficiency for oxidizing acids (here is the fine point), particularly weak acid foods that for many people, even most people, are alkalinizing in effect. He further explains that for people having this metabolic deficiency, urine PH testing commonly shows false results, i.e., alkaline results when in fact the body's internal state is acid. In this case, urine's alkalinity is not reflective of a healthy system but a loss of needed minerals in an attempt to balance against internal acids.
If you are someone who has tried many "health" foods, such as berries, yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and even many of the current "super foods," as well as popular health protocols such as fruit or lemon (citrus) juice fasts or using apple cider vinegar as a tonic and even as a regular salad dressing, and consequently, felt worse instead of better, you really might benefit from this book, as I did.
Also addressed is the obvious, though not often perceived, fact that an "acid" condition is not merely a physical state but an holistic creation, which can be replaced by application of opposites, not only in diet, but in behavior and lifestyle. Stress, restlessness, hurry, and worry are all "acid" in effect, and though one may strive for a perfectly alkaline food intake, greatest results are attainable through a relaxed (though active) approach to living - which may include a discipline of not becoming stressed or obsessive over the relationship of acid to alkaline !
The author is European, hence, some of the foods that he recommends are not common to standard American markets, and his list of supplements for encouraging alkalinity seems excessive (I used just food-grade potassium bicarbonate - add cream of tartar and lemon juice if you can tolerate them - but the potassium bicarbonate alone worked well for me). Also, many of his assertions as to which foods are acid and which are alkaline bear discrepancies with other sources; however, the author addresses this:
The author initially presents some very basic information in the first 2 chapters which sounded far more like Eat Right for your Type. Then, she goes into tedious detail about antiquated diet programs - many of which had nothing to do with acid/alkaline balance. She then presented "solutions" for common ailments that frequently contradicted the initial info presented. For example, on one page, my "type" is supposed to avoid lemon juice, vinegar and leafy greens but those make repeated appearances in the solutions section.
It seemed like she couldn't decide what kind of "diet" this should be - raw foods, metabolic type, food allergy etc. The case studies and information regarding indigenous peoples of various regions were distracting & did not seem to have much to do with the acid/alkaline issue.
I was specifically looking for a program that gave me at a minimum a list of helpful foods or foods to avoid but this was a confusing patchwork of poorly-organized information.
Also, some of the suggestions for raw meat, raw eggs, raw milk and raw butter etc. fly in the face of recent food scares. I know many who swear by raw milk but it is illegal in my state and there are other ways to get enzymes without risk of e-coli or salmonella.
I nearly fell out of my chair when she mentioned by name an ephedra-based diet pill (used by one of her clients) that is now illegal in the US. Furthermore, citing a client who is still morbidly obese, takes unhealthy diet pills and follows fad 1-meal/day plans as a success shoots down what little remaining credibility the author might have had (IMHO).
I am going to the health food store to look at other acid/alkaline books before making another purchase. I would strongly caution anyone considering this title to thumb through it first.
Acid and Alkaline by Herman Aihara Amazon Price: Customer Review: This book is a very important one, and very well done. I had to study it a little harder than some people, as I am not very chemically inclined. But with study it was graspable, and what is learned here is extremely important. The reason he goes into the detail he does, is because he is not giving you a list of foods to eat. He is teaching you how to choose foods for yourself. I think this is very important for anyone (especially) who is doing macrobiotics. It really explains what your doing, instead of just saying it's yin or yang. Once you learn the principles in this book, it is also easy to apply it to other diets you may find. You want to make sure that you have alkaline forming foods in your body, and this book teaches you how! Some things in the book are his opinion, and he tells you that. There are many "I think" sentences in this book. I think he's done a wonderful job and a great service with this book, and heartily recommend it.
