First, I would recommend the book. Let me tell you why.I have had a health problem for many years now, that to some extent is affected by the acid and or alkalinity of my innards. Even so I never focused too much on this issue except to try drinking copious amounts of cranberry juice a couple of times to try and lower my acid level when my condition was kicking my butt. Also, I know that an out of balance body can set itself up for a yeast infection of the gut. (Hargis explains that there are other things to watch out for as well that I never thought of. Things YOU never thought of.)But I never really did much research on what to do besides drink the noxious cranberry juice, which I think Mr. Hargis doesn't even mention. How much better it would be to do the things it takes to not set myself up for too much acid in the first place, rather than try to deal with it after it happens.I did know, vaguely, that eating acid foods doesn't necessarily add acid to the diet. Quite the reverse, often. This is all explained to my amazement and satisfaction.Well, now, thanks to the excellent research of Jake Hargis, I don't have to re-invent the wheel. I see he has also written other books that compliment this one.My constant motto is "Less is better than more!" Don't be afraid to use your body as a lab. If you're capable of doing so, and keeping records, you'll find that you might learn more about yourself than you'll ever find out from an expensive and busy doctor about your basic processes.How much nicer to tune yourself up so you don't have to go to a doctor for expensive, and often risky treatment. Of course, a good doc is good to have when you do as much as you can by yourself. Thankfully, I can't see a thing, win, lose, or draw, in Jakes approach that could cause damage. Therefore, go forth unafraid to put his research to use.I'm thinking that this book is not for everyone in that if you're healthy and happy, I can't see where pH control is going to do much more for you. However, especially if you have certain health conditions, (And you know if you do) then this is a powerful bit of well thought out research to have in your tool chest. It's priced right too. Get it and if it makes sense, have a go with what Hargis has to say. It might just be the key the puzzle you have been working!
