Gulf War Illness - Death By Preventable Friendly Fire

A report released on Monday concluded that Gulf War syndrome is a legitimate illness suffered by more than 175,000 U.S. war veterans who were exposed to chemical acidic toxins in the 1991 Gulf War.

The congressionally mandated report could help veterans who have battled the government for treatment of a wide range of unexplained neurological illnesses, from brain cancer to multiple sclerosis.

The Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses concluded that Gulf War illness is a physical condition distinct from the mental "shell shock" suffered by veterans in other wars. Some earlier studies had concluded it was not a distinct illness.

"Scientific evidence leaves no question that Gulf War illness is a real condition with real causes and serious consequences for affected veterans," said the committee, which has been looking into the problem since 2002.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at The pH Miracle Living Center, "Gulf War Syndrome is a real illness caused by acidic emotional and physical stress. The emotional acidic stress is the obvious fear and anxiety that comes with anyone going to war, leaving loved ones and wondering if he or she will return home alive and well. The pHysical stress was a direct result of acidic contributors, including acidic vaccinations, acidic food and drink, acidic drugs (both pharmaceutical and recreational), and acidic air."

Gulf War acidic illness has affected at least one-fourth of the 700,000 U.S. troops who served in the 1991 effort to drive Iraq out of Kuwait, or between 175,000 and 210,000 veterans in all, the report found. Few have seen their symptoms improve over the past 17 years, the report said.

"I have had several clients who were victims of the Gulf War. All of them were suffering with acidic health challenges of the respiratory system, circulatory system, endocrine system and the digestive system. Their health challenges were a direct result of the air they were breathing, to the food they were eating, to the vaccinations they received and finally to the emotional stress they were experiencing, states Dr. Young.

A few if the symptoms include persistent headaches, widespread pain, cognitive difficulties, unexplained fatigue, skin rashes, chronic diarrhea and digestive and respiratory problems.

Many Gulf War veterans suffering these symptoms say they were met with skepticism when seeking treatment.

"Today's report brings to a close one of the darkest chapters of the 1991 Gulf War, and that is the legacy of Gulf War illness. For those who ever doubted that Gulf War veterans are ill, this report is definitive and exhaustive," said Anthony Hardie, a Gulf War veteran from Madison,

The panel found two possible causes: an acidic drug given to troops to protect against nerve gas, known as pyridostigmine bromide, and acidic pesticides that were used heavily during the war.

The panel said other possible causes could not be ruled out, including extensive exposure to smoke from oil-well fires and low-level exposure to sarin gas when captured Iraqi stocks were destroyed.

"The Gulf War illnesses could have been largely prevented with alkaline water, alkaline food, an alkaline lifestyle to help protect and preserve the alkaline design of the soldier's body. It breaks my heart to think of the numbers of soldiers who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom die needlessly from preventable friendly fire," states Dr. Young

Part 5 - Dropping A Ton And Having Fun - The Importance of Drinking Alkaline Water

rstname$%,

The following is Part 5 of an interview of Dr. Robert O. Young by Rick Laurenzi, on the importance of acid/alkaline balance, food, water, nutrition, and the cause of obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Rick will be releasing a full length motion picture the beginning of next year called, "Dropping a Ton and Having Fun" with a subtitle of "Cancer is Simple." Rick has featured the science, lifestyle and diet of Dr. Robert and Shelley Young in his new movie.

When Rick started the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet over two years ago he weighed in at over 390 pounds. He has lost approximately 200 pounds in the last two years and has gained a significant amount of muscle weight. He feels great and looks great. His blood has improved and his over-all health and fitness is a reflection of that improvement. We hope to be announcing the release date of this exciting new movie soon. Please go to our website at: www.phmiracleliving to see a trailer on this new health and fitness movie or to sign up for our free newsletter.

And now Part 5, of Rick's interview with Dr. Young . . .

Mr. Rick Laurenzi: Are all bottled waters the same diameter and healthful?

Dr. Young: All waters are not created equally, in fact--there are over 700 bottled waters on the market and only three are fit to drink. The three bottle waters are, Essentia, Evermore and my pH Miracle Water. That's it! Out of all the waters coming from municipalities there are No waters fit to drink. New York City talks about their municipal water and how great it is--I've tested it. The water is acidic and is not fit to drink. In fact, you would be better off drinking the water from the Thames River in London than drinking the water out of a New York City water tap. There is a lot that has to be done to create the water that is healthy. Very few water's in the world are healthy. In fact, the majority of them are unhealthy or acidic.

Laurenzi: Large diameter waters-- their mechanical correlation between a high-positive milli-volt or a repeat ORP reading in water that reflects a large diameter.

Dr. Young: Large-diameter water is the high-clustered water. Have you heard the word "cluster"? H2O molecules cluster together when they lose their electrical charge or the charge is compromised by acid. Generally, tap water can be anywhere from 10 to 40 molecule clusters. The averaged bottle or municipal water is 20 molecule clusters. The reason the water clusters is because dietary and/or metabolic acids act as a molecular glue that causes the water molecules to stick together. All acidic water has a larger-diameter. When you drink it, it feels heavy. It might even bloat you because it is not permeable. Conversely, the lowest diameter water would be in a mono-molecular state where you just have one molecule of H2O. That would be ideal. Water ionization will break the acid bonds creating a water diameter that is smaller. You would then have the smaller diameter water ranging from four to six molecules. This water would be more permeable or what I refer to as, the wetter water. A smaller diameter or low clustered water is lighter. When you can drink it, you feel it going into the tissues. The body absorbs this low clustered water to hydrate the cells of the body. I see this under the microscope at the cellular level. I know what a hydrated cell looks like and what a dehydrated cell looks like. A dehydrated blood cell is concave in the center. A hydrated cell is plump and round. It's even in size and even in color. It doesn't have what is referred to in hematology as a target or a bulls-eye in the center of the cell. So, I can tell very simply whether someone is hydrated or not hydrated regardless of whether you're drinking a lot of water or not. If you're drinking a lot of water and drinking the wrong kind of water, there's no way for that water to get into the cell to hydrate the cell. Molecularly the water is too large. It's very, very important to break those molecular clusters down. Now, when break apart the water molecules you create greater surface area. And when you create a greater surface area you create a greater surface charge. When you ionize the water you not only increase the pH, but you also increase the electrical potential of the water. When you drink ionized water you are drinking water that has more surface area that can carry more electrical energy to the body. Ionized, smaller diameter water can hydrate, alkalize and energize every cell in the human body. And when your cells are hydrated, alkalized and energized you feel stronger, healthier and more vibrant.

Laurenzi: Is there a positive milli-volt, or ping reading, that water becomes electron-hungry, taking electrons from our body, causing oxidation. In other words, is there a plus 100 milli-volt, plus 200, plus 300, plus 500, where water becomes harmful to the cells of the body?

Dr. Young: Any water that carries a positive milli-volt or ping reading is enervating to the body. The energy of the water, or the "oxidative reduction potential" or "ORP" water is a very important measurement. Oxidation refers to the acidic effect of the liquid being tested and reduction refers to its alkaline effect. When I measure the energy or "ORP" of a liquid, it is measured in milli-volts. Those milli-volts can be positive or negatively charged. The protons or electrons or the positive or negatively charged elements of the liquid or water being measured will make either energy withdrawals if positively charged or energy contributions if negatively charged. When I break down the molecular clustering, I can increase the electrical potential or negative charge of the liquid or water. The charge of the liquid or water is measured in milli-volts. If you have a positive charge milli-volt, that liquid or water will act as a stimulant to the body and will use up the electrons in your body and pull energy from your body. When your body is reacting to increased levels of positive charges you wrongly interrupt this as energy. But, it you have not gained energy, you have been robbed of energy. This is how a stimulate works. It steals energy from your energy reserves. That is why you are tired after the surge of energy is used up. If you are drinking coffee or tea or eating chocolate, which have a high "ORP", or positive milli-volt, or saturation of protons or positive ions, the coffee or tea or chocolate will steal energy from your body. At first you will feel "energized." But then what happens after you feel energized? You feel tired. You then have another cup of coffee, tea or eat another piece of chocolate and feel the elusion of energy again. The energy from coffee, tea and chocolate is an illusion because they have no energy to give. They have only energy to steal. All you've done when you drink coffee or tea or eat a piece of chocolate is rob energy from your energy reserves and deplete your energy bank account. Your energy goes up and down, up and down throughout the day, which does not happen when we're eating or drinking electron-rich, alkaline, low diameter, low ORP, negatively charged fluids or foods.

Laurenzi: Is there a milli-volt reading of water which would be bad for us?

Dr. Young: Yes. The ideal food or liquid to ingest for providing energy for the body should be a milli-volt or ORP reading of negative 150 to 350 milli-volts. Anytime you are drinking a liquid or water that carries a negative milli-volt, whether it's negative one, two or three, it will make an energy contribution to the body. As long as the food or drink carries a negative charge you will increase your energy bank account. Negatively charged food or water does not pull energy from the body. Any food or drink that is positively charged, positive one, two, three and up, such as coffee, tea, soda pops, chocolate, animal protein, cheese, milk, sugar, just to name a few, you will decrease your energy bank account. All the so-called energy drinks have positive charged milli-volt readings that range from positive 250 to 1200. All energy drinks are stimulates and pull energy from your energy bank account leaving you wanting more. The negative charge or "ORP" of all raw foods are generally going to run, negative 150 to 250, and will contribute energy to your energy bank account. All processed foods are positively charge and will run, positive 250 to 450, and will withdraw energy from your energy bank account. The food you eat and the liquids you drink are critical. To keep your body alkalized and energized you will have to eat and drink electron-rich, alkaline, negatively charged food and liquids. Beginning with the most important - the water you drink!

Laurenzi: What I'm doing is buzzing around the country, testing well-calibrated or the pH of municipal systems. I've tested water in Arizona at positive 100 milli-volts. And up to a positive 630 in my hometown, Colorado Springs. Is there one of those plus readings on the "ORP" scale that becomes good for the body?

Dr. Young: Any plus reading on any water will pull energy from the body. So that's why it's critical to reverse the polarity of the water from positive to negative. You can do this by breaking the clustering with ionizing. If you're drinking liquids or water that has a positive charge this will cause a huge drain on your energy system. It cannot be healthful to the body and eventually the positively charge liquid or water is going to end up causing a pH imbalance that will lead to enervation, irritation, inflammation and then ulceration and degeneration. This is why it is so important to drink negatively charge liquids and water. These kinds of liquids or water are full of electrons that will buffer dietary and/or metabolic acids and contribute electrons to your energy bank account. That is why it's important to realize that all water has to be filtered, all water has to be purified, all water has to be structured, meaning water has to be broken down into its smallest molecular state, all water has to be alkalized, and finally all water has to be electrically charged through the process of ionization to be healthful to the body - whether animal or human.

Laurenzi: Does the diameter of water effect our bodies' hydration?

Dr. Young: Most definitely. The diameter of the liquid or water must be no greater than 6 molecules and preferably 1 molecule in order to hydrate the cells of your body.

Laurenzi: Is chlorine something we should have in our drinking water?

Dr. Young: Chlorine should not be in our water. It is not an energizing agent because it does not break down water clustering. All of the chlorine water tested shows a positive charge and would therefore pull energy from your body.

Laurenzi: For optimal health, what percentage of water should an adult's body be?

Dr. Young: When we were born, we were 90% water. When we're dead, we're approximately 50% water. And somewhere between birth and death, we become dehydrated- we've accepted as normal somewhere around 70%. So anything above 70% would be ideal, moving more towards 90%. I think that's what makes babies to supple. You know, you touch their skin and it's soft, it's pliable, it's supple. This is because the skin is hydrated. And we lose that over time from dehydration.

Laurenzi: Back on the water--with an adult, such as a person in their 40's and 50's, when their water percentage drops below that 70% content to 60% or even 50% content, what are some of the negative things that could occur to the body?

Dr. Young: When someone becomes dehydrated, besides the feeling that they're constantly thirsty, the skin becomes dry and the bowels become constipated. The skin is not supple--it becomes dry. And a lot of the skin challenges that we see is because of that. The dryness and the coarseness of the skin, is affected. Not only is the outside of the body affected but the inside is also affected from the lack of alkaline water. This is what can happen within the body. All of the cells of the body that make all tissues and organs need water for staying healthy. Water, next to salt is one of the most important buffers of dietary and metabolic acid. When you do not have sufficient water, you cannot buffer the acids from diet and/or metabolism. Also, you cannot remove the dietary and/or metabolic acids through the four channels of elimination. Realizing that all metabolism or the production of energy or the utilization of energy or the consumption of energy produces acids that need to be buffered with electron-rich alkaline water. And, without electron-rich alkaline water, you cannot eliminate the biological waste products that are being created on a moment-by-moment basis. So, it is very important that exchange of electron-rich alkaline water takes place, and if it does not, this is when you will see internal pollution buildup and the beginning of latent tissue acidosis that leads to ALL sickness and dis-ease.

Laurenzi: Tell us about the advantages of an in-home alkalizer, like a Jupiter Orion machine. How can this machine change the structure of water for us?

Dr. Young: Ionization of water was invented by the Russians many years ago where they discovered how to separate positive and negative ions through magnetism. Passing water over several titanium/platinum plates they were able to pull acid elements to one side that were positively charged and to the other side alkaline elements that were negatively charged, creating two streams of water. The first water was electron-rich and alkaline with a small diameter and the second water was proton-rich and acidic with a large diameter. Over the years, we have become more sophisticated in the design of our ionization plates--using titanium/platinum beveled plates in order to create more surface area, to attract more electrons on one side, and more protons to the other side. By in doing this, I was able to create two functionally very good types of water. One, which was proton-rich and acidic, and could be used for disinfecting purposes, and one that was electron-rich and alkaline, that could be used for ingestion with a smaller molecular structure or diameter, that was wetter, that could contribute greater electrical energy to the body, and could actually energize and alkalize the body at the same time.

Laurenzi: So, would be fair to say that your countertop ionization machines change the water, by creating the smaller diameter water that is electron-rich and alkaline water?

Dr. Young: Absolutely! My ionization machines are fourth generation and the best machines on the market for filtering the water, reducing the diameter of water, alkalizing the water and decreasing the oxidative reduction potential (ORP) of the water, creating the best water for human and animal consumption. The Young Life Ionizers produced pure ionized water through multiple filtrations and electrical ionization. The micromesh filters range from .01 to .001 microns to take chemicals, drugs and heavy metals out of the water. After the water goes through the micromesh pre-filter the water travels through several carbon filters, then through a tourmaline filter, and finally a coral calcium mineral filter to help with the re-ionization process. The water then travels to the ionization chamber, where the water runs across seven titanium/platinum ionization plates. This is where the water is divided into two types of water creating the proton-rich acid water and the electron-rich alkaline water. The Young Life Ionizer can take acidic municipal water and clear if from chemicals like chlorine and pollutants like bacteria, yeast, mold, parasites, and mercury, just to name a few and create a water that's actually going to be good for the body--that's going to be alkalizing and energizing for the body. A water that can hydrate the cells and buffer dietary and metabolic acids.

Laurenzi: Of the public waters that you've tested is there any that you've tested that is not electron-hungry and is good for the public to drink?

Dr. Young: I have tested several hundred municipal waters and I have yet to test one that is good or healthful to drink. They are all electron-hungry and will acidify the blood and tissues. I do not recommend drinking municipal water or bottled water, except for those bottled waters that are ionized and bottled in glass. That would leave only one bottled water fit to drink - pH Miracle Water.

Laurenze: Will electron-rich alkaline water disrupt digestion by diluting the hydrochloric stomach acid.

Dr. Young: The stomach is not an organ of digestion but an organ of contribution. The main contribution from the stomach is the secretion of sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the food and liquids ingested. The hydrochloric acid in the stomach is a waste product of sodium bicarbonate production and falls into the gastric pits of the stomach away from the food and drink ingested. Hydrochloric acid destroys the energy potential of the food or drink making it unfit for transformation into stem cells. When you drink electron-rich alkaline water you help alkalize the food and drink ingested and you buffer the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This then aids the stomach in alkalizing the food and drink and preparing it for biological transformation into stems cells. This transformation into stem cells can only take place in an electron-rich alkaline environment. Therefore, drinking electron-rich alkaline water aids in the reduction of acid, including hydrochloric acid, and aids in the preparation of the food in the stomach and then in the small intestine for transformation into stem cells and then red blood cells.

Prevention IS More Effective THAN Treatment

Live blood analysis involves observing blood in real time under a high powered microscope. The blood is not altered or stained in anyway. This allows the practitioner to observe the health of the blood and obtain qualitative information, rather than quantitative information that is typically obtained from standard blood tests. It is possible to have very sick, poor functioning blood cells accompanied by lots of acid and yeast and still have normal blood cell counts. Live blood analysis is more interested in the quality of the blood cells rather than the number of blood cells. The compound microscope uses bright field and phase contrast to view the live and dried blood magnified 22,000 times.

In the first examination, a drop of blood from the fingertip is placed on a slide, observed under the microscope and the images displayed on a computer screen. This allows determination of the structure and strength of the red and white cells and also the health of the plasma they exist in.

Then a dried blood examination is done. This is also known as the mycotoxic oxidative stress test (MOST). Blood is allowed to dry on the slide and then examined under the microscope. Cellular breakdown, irritation, inflammation, acidosis, signs of parasites and specific organ imbalances can be detected.

Both these techniques allow for an early warning of health issues. The blood travels all over the body and changes in the blood can be seen long before any symptoms may manifest.

As with any investigation however, quality is not only dependent on how well the test is performed but also the interpretation of what is seen and the recommendations that are given based on that interpretation. Anybody can do a live blood analysis but it is the interpretation of what is seen that is critical.

I have studied live and dried blood microscopy at the pH Miracle Center in San Diego. I worked there with Dr Robert O. Young who is a microbiologist, the world leader in live blood analysis and the authority on acid/alkaline balance in health and wellness. I am the only medical doctor in Australia who has done this training.

Live blood microscopy is the ideal way of determining whether chronic fungal infections are contributing to illness. Do normal, orthodox tests pick up the fungus? No.... Why not? That's a long and complex discussion but not unrecognized. A fungal expert and emeritus Professor who is the author of the text book Stealth Pathogens asks in her book: "Are fungi in blood smears overlooked because they are confused with blood cells?" She answers with a resounding, YES!

The current edition of one of my medical journals quotes an old piece of advice from Thomas McCrae- "More is missed by not looking than by not knowing." Looking at the blood under 22,000x magnification with a compound microscope is the gold standard investigation for the determination of the presence of chronic fungal disease in the body. Chronic fungal disease is one of the root causes of almost all chronic degenerative diseases and MUST be dealt with in order to recover. Looking at the blood always unravels the mystery of chronic illness. Makes sense doesn't it? It's that easy.

You can decide to start valuing your health now or wait until you have a wake-up call from a major illness or degenerative disease. The problem is that most of these diseases have a very slow fuse and develop insidiously over a long period of time. By the time you are aware of the illness, the degenerative processes may have been progressing for years. The bodies healing system is like flying an airplane with an autopilot - it's a much better flight with the autopilot switched on making minor adjustments all the time, rather than frantically trying to turn it on as the plane free falls. Prevention is a much more effective strategy than treatment and live and dried blood provides ALL the information needed to prevent and/or reverse disease.

In ancient China, doctors were remunerated according to how few sick patients they had in their community. They were teachers of health, rather than treaters of symptoms. That's how it was then, that's the way it should be now.

The Size of the WaistLine Indicates An Acidic or Alkaline Lifestyle and Diet

Having a large waistline can almost double your risk of dying prematurely even if your body mass index is within the 'normal' range, according to a new study of over 350,000 people across Europe, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The study provides strong evidence that storing excess fat around the waist poses a significant health risk, even in people not considered to be overweight or obese. It suggests that doctors should measure a patient's waistline and their hips as well as their body mass index as part of standard health checks, according to the researchers, from Imperial College London, the German Institute of Human Nutrition, and other research institutions across Europe.

Comparing subjects with the same body mass index, the risk of premature death increased in a linear fashion as the waist circumference increased. The risk of premature death was around double for subjects with a larger waist (more than 120cm or 47.2in for men and more than 100cm or 39.4in for women) compared to subjects with a smaller waist (less than 80cm or 31.5in for men and less than 65cm or 25.6in for women). Body mass index is commonly used to assess if a person is of 'normal' weight.

Each 5cm increase in waist circumference increased the mortality risk by 17% in men and 13% in women.

The ratio of waist to hips was also revealed as an important indicator of health in the study. Lower waist-hip ratios indicate that the waist is comparatively small in relation to the hips. The ratio is calculated by dividing the waist measurement by the hip measurement.

An increased risk of mortality may be particularly related to storing acidic fat around the waistline because acidic fatty tissue in this area secretes other acidic waste products such as cytokines, hormones and metabolically active compounds that can contribute to the development of chronic dis-eases, particularly cardiovascular dis-eases and cancerous conditions.

Although the main new finding of this study is that waist size increases the risk of premature death independently of body mass index (BMI), the study does support earlier findings showing that a higher body mass index is significantly related to mortality. The lowest risk of death was at a BMI of approximately 25.3 in men and 24.3 in women.

The new research forms part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), one of the largest long-term prospective studies in the world.

Professor Elio Riboli, the European coordinator of the EPIC study from the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Imperial College London, said: "Although smaller studies have suggested a link between mortality and waist size, we were surprised to see the waist size having such a powerful effect on people's health and premature death. Our study shows that accumulating excess fat around your middle can put your health at risk even if your weight is normal based on body mass index scores. There aren't many simple individual characteristics that can increase a person's risk of premature death to this extent, independently from smoking and drinking. "

Professor Riboli added: "The good news is that you don't need to take an expensive test and wait ages for the result to assess this aspect of your health - it costs virtually nothing to measure your waist and hip size. Doctors and nurses can easily identify people who need to take certain steps to improve their health by routinely monitoring these measurements. If you have a large waist, you probably need to increase the amount of exercise you do every day, avoid excessive alcohol consumption and improve your diet. This could make a huge difference in reducing your risk of an early death."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "the waistline is another measurement of an alkaline or an acidic lifestyle and diet. The larger the waistline the more acidic the lifestyle and diet. The waistline also correlates to the health of the small and large bowel. The larger the waistline the more congested or constipated the bowel. The key to a smaller waistline is simple - starting living and eating an alkaline lifestyle and diet."

Part 4 - Dropping A Ton And Having Fun - The Germ Is Nothing

The following is Part 4 of an interview of Dr. Robert O. Young by Rick Laurenzi, on the importance of acid/alkaline balance, food, water, nutrition, and the cause of obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Rick will be releasing a full length motion picture the beginning of next year called, "Dropping a Ton and Having Fun" with a subtitle of "Cancer is Simple." Rick has featured the science, lifestyle and diet of Dr. Robert and Shelley Young in his new movie.

When Rick started the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet over two years ago he weighed in at over 390 pounds. He has lost approximately 200 pounds in the last two years and has gained a significant amount of muscle weight. He feels great and looks great. His blood has improved and his over-all health and fitness is a reflection of that improvement. We hope to be announcing the release date of this exciting new movie soon. Please go to our website at: www.phmiracleliving to see a trailer on this new health and fitness movie or to sign up for our free newsletter.

And now Part , of Rick's interview with Dr. Young . . .

Mr. Rick Laurenzi: Thank you for this insightful answer. We’re going to change the subject to pH. How important is it to maintain an alkaline pH in our blood, saliva, urine and sweat?

Dr. Young: Maintaining the alkaline pH of the saliva, urine, tears, sweat and blood is critical. Testing the body fluid pH is the most important daily measurement anyone can do to maintain health and fitness and to PREVENT ALL sickness and disease. The beauty of the pH test is that you don’t need to go to a doctor to do it. You can do it yourself. You can actually become your own doctor and manage your own health with this simple test. And if you’ll remember this rule—if you maintain the saliva and the urine pH, ideally at 7.2 or above, you will never get sick. That’s right you will NEVER get sick! The key is to manage the alkaline design of the body fluids. But, most people on the planet have a urine or saliva pH in the six or fives. They don’t manage their pH. People take better care of their aquariums, swimming pools, or spas, than their own internal body fluids. Managing the pH of your body fluids is simple. All you do is take some pHydrion paper or litmus paper, moisten it with saliva and urine and then check the color on the color-coded chart. The chart measures the pH of saliva, urine, sweat, and tears in 5.0 to 8.5 increments. Ideally, you want your saliva, urine, sweat and tears to measure at least 7.2 or better. Managing you body fluid pH with an alkaline lifestyle and diet is the healthiest advice I could give anyone on this planet. It is inexpensive. It is simple, and it works.

Laurenzi: When these body fluids stay acidic for days, weeks, months or years, what happens to human health?

Dr. Young: What happens to human health when you stay in the acidic zone? You get sick, tired and fat. And, if you don’t get fat, you die. When you are underweight you are living on your own body tissue. Your body is making red blood cells at of body cells. Why? Because you have damaged the root system of your small intestine with acidic food, drink, enzymes, probiotics, antibiotics and other acidic drugs. You are constantly breaking down your own body cells in order to maintain the level of red blood cells at 5 million red blood cells per cubic millimeter. In order to build muscle and bones you have to have healthy strong red blood cells. In order to have healthy strong red blood cells you have to have a healthy alkaline root system or intestinal villi with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. You build healthy blood with electron-rich green alkaline foods and drinks. When you are constantly bombarding your internal environment with acidic foods and drinks and damaging your intestinal villi, you set the stage for all sickness and dis-ease.

Laurenzi: When these liquids are acidic, are they by nature taking electrons away causing oxidation and formation of free radicals?

Dr. Young: When we ingest any acidic food or drink, our body immediately reacts to neutralize or buffer the acid. For example, let’s say you drink a glass of orange juice. But before drinking the orange juice you test the pH of your saliva. After drinking the orange juice you test your saliva pH again. You would think that drinking orange juice, which has a pH between 2.5 to 3 and is highly acidic, would actually cause the pH of your saliva to go down. But it does not. The saliva pH goes up higher then when you first tested the pH. The pH of the saliva should test out over 8. What is happening is the salivary glands are releasing sodium bicarbonate to buffer the acids of the orange juice. This is why the saliva pH goes up. If the saliva pH does not go up this indicates that your alkaline reserves are deficient. All forms of sugar are acidic to the body. Even fruit sugars are acidic. When the body is trying to neutralize an acid, it has to secrete an alkaline buffer to do so. When you ingest sugar or you drink a glass of fresh orange juice, or you take any acidic food in the mouth, the pH will sharply go up to neutralize the acid from that food. This is done to protect the alkaline design of the body. When you start using up your alkaline reserves and you do not replace those reserves with alkaline foods and drinks, you begin to compromise other parts of the body. Especially if, the daily diet is loaded with acidic foods and drinks. When the alkaline reserves are deficient and the diet is also deficient in foods or drinks that will build up those alkaline reserves the body starts pulling alkaline minerals from the bones and muscles. This causes deficiencies of the bones and muscles. When your blood is compromised from a deficiency of alkaline reserves, such as sodium bicarbonate or the elements to make sodium bicarbonate, the body will begin pulling calcium from the bones and/or magnesium from the muscles to maintain the alkalinity of the blood plasma. This is when you will start experiencing the deficiencies of alkalinity that are expressed in the seven stages of acidosis, going from sensitivities all the way up to degeneration.

Laurenzi: What are some of the positive things that would occur if all of these body fluids are alkaline?

Dr. Young: When you are alkalized you are energized. And when you are energized you feel better and think better. You have sustainable energy when you are alkalized. When you eat and drink alkaline you are making energy deposits to your body, like a bank account. You are making alkaline deposits to your energy bank account and to your alkaline reserves or energy savings account. The positive benefits of being alkaline are incredible health, energy, fitness, mental clarity and vitality.

Laurenzi: We’re going to use your term—why is the “New Biology” so important?

Dr. Young: The New Biology™ is important because it is based on a foundational health principal, that the human body is alkaline by design, but every function of the body is acidic. So every disease is nothing more than the body trying to maintain its alkaline design. So when we’re talking about bone disease, the body is taking alkalinity from the bones to maintain the alkalinity of the blood, which is the most important organ of the body. Once the blood becomes acidic, you will die. A drop from the normal blood pH of 7.365 to 6.9 will cause one to go into a coma and then die. The blood pH has a very narrow range for health and vitality. The normal healthy blood pH is at 7.365. If the blood pH drops down to 7.2, you start feeling very sick and at 6.9 you are dead. So the body will do everything it can to maintain the alkaline integrity of the blood, at the expense of all other organs and organ systems. Once we understand the foundational theory of the New Biology™, and I’ll repeat it again: the human organism is alkaline by design, although acidic by function. So breathing is acidic. Thinking is acidic. Eating is acidic. Metabolism is acidic. The breakdown of the food you eat is acidic. Everything you eat is acidic to a lesser or greater degree. The body has to protect itself. The body protects itself with the alkaline buffering system, which is currently NOT understood by medical savants. Your body is looking for energy in the form of electrons or electron-rich foods and drinks. Health is all about energy. The New Biology™ teaches us the foundational principles of health, fitness and energy and how to maintain that health, fitness and energy, for a lifetime, free from ALL sickness and disease.

Laurenzi: For the body’s immune system to work properly is alkalinity the most important thing to monitor?

Dr. Young: True immunity from ALL sickness and disease comes from alkalinity not from white blood cells. We were all taught in human biology that immunity is comes from white blood cells protecting us from some invading germ or virus. White blood cells provide NO immunity. White blood cells do not destroy germs. White blood cells are glorified janitors that swim around in our blood and lymphatic plasma picking up the garbage we create from an acidic lifestyle and diet. White blood cells are NOT soldiers, destroying some invading germ coming in from the outside world that would make us sick. True immunity comes to each of us by maintaining the alkaline fluids of the body. That is where true immunity is found. The first line of defense against sickness and disease is an alkaline internal environment. As soon as you put something acidic into your mind, into your mouth, into your lungs, your alkaline buffering system is engaged to neutralizing or buffer any acidic food, drink, or thought that might be present. That’s true immunity. It is found in the alkaline reserves for your body. When you have an alkaline lifestyle and diet you are able to defend off environmental, dietary or metabolic acids that would make you sick, tired and/or fat. Germs DO NOT cause disease. Acids cause pain, sickness and disease. There is a simple way to understand this principal. Let’s compare our bodies to an automobile. When you start your car, the car begins using energy. As the car uses energy is creates an acidic waste product called carbon monoxide. When you turn the car off you stop producing this acid. If you start the car again and stuff a few socks or a potato in the tailpipe the car will die from carbon monoxide acidosis. If you were to stop eliminating your own acidic waste products through urination, perspiration, defecation or respiration, like the car, you would die too. The body has a way of protecting itself from excess acidity. When dietary and/or metabolic acids are not properly eliminated they get parked on your hips, thighs, buttocks, waistline, breast and brain. The body does this to protect and preserve the organs and organ systems that sustain life. Your best immunity, to protect your body from ALL sickness and disease DOES NOT come from vaccination or medication. True immunity comes from protecting the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. Once again, white blood cells, including neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, T and B-cells help to maintain cleanliness, and in reality are just the janitors of your body fluids – like an automatic pool sweep. You can support your white blood cells with an electron-rich alkaline lifestyle and diet.

Laurenzi: Do bacteria, viruses, fungus, yeast, grow easily in an acidic body?

Dr. Young: Bacteria and yeast are biological transformations of what used to be organized matter from diet and healthy body cells. You know if you leave food in the back of the refrigerator, that it will spoil. And, if you leave it long enough it will give birth to first bacteria, then yeast and finally mold. You know that food is not infected from the outside world, but is spoiling from the inside out. Bacteria, yeast and mold are nothing more than a biological transformation of matter. You can accept this. But for some reason, science has adopted a medical philosophy or theory that somehow germs are species-specific, as if there’s individual like a cat or a dog. There is nothing special about a virus or bacteria. A virus is nothing more than a smaller bacterial form, from disorganizing or transforming matter. In reality, what I have discovered, through my work, is a virus, is many times just crystallized acids. When you look at bacteria under the microscope, what you are looking at are fragments of what used to be a brain cell or a bone cell or blood cell. And, yeast is just another transformation or evolution, very similar to looking at a caterpillar transforming later into a beautiful butterfly. You accept the reality that the butterfly, use to be a different form—it use to be a caterpillar and now is a beautiful butterfly. And yet this idea of attaching some sort of identity to germs has become very popular over the last 150 years. And the whole focus of medical science has been trying to figure out how to kill the virus, bacteria, yeast or mold. And yet, in reality, the germ is nothing more than a transformation of matter. You cannot kill matter you can only change matter. Because matter cannot be created nor can it be destroyed; it can only change its former function. So therefore, bacteria, yeast and mold is nothing more than a biological transformation of matter that has taken place because of an environment that has become acidic. When the internal environment becomes acidic, the body or blood cell will change. When you take water and put it in the freezer, it turns to ice. When you take water and put it on the stove, it turns to steam. Nothing is ever lost, and nothing is ever gained. The matter is still there, it just takes on a different form. This is a law of physics. When you see bacteria and yeast in the body, all you are looking at is the transformation of what use to be a body cell, a red blood cell, a white blood cell, or a heart cell, and that bacteria or yeast is the evidence of a compromised internal acidic environment. Germs DO NOT cause disease; they are the expression that the internal environment is acidic. You see, the great germ theory of medical science is a scientific illusion. The Germ is Nothing! The Alkaline Internal Environment is Everything!

Laurenzi: What is the easiest way for someone to check and maintain their body’s pH?

Dr. Young: The easiest way for someone to check and maintain the body fluid pH is to test the urine and saliva.

The best time to test the urine is in the morning, because the morning urine is an expression of what you ate and what you drank and how you lived your life the previous, 24 hours. The morning urine is not a product of the blood; it is a product of the tissues. When you measure your urine, you are measuring the pH of your tissues. If your pH is below the ideal of 7.2, and it measures in the 5’s or 6’s, you are in tissue acidosis. When someone over-exercises they can go into lactic tissue acidosis. Lactic acid from over-exercise is felt in the connective tissues and muscles. When the muscles are sore, that’s the tissues picking up the acid to maintain the alkaline blood pH. The blood has to rid itself of metabolic acids or you would die. So it throws the acid out into the muscle tissues and you feel it as irritation or inflammation. If the lactic acid stays in the tissues, it will spoil the tissue cells, and the body will go into preservation mode. In preservation mode, the body will encapsulate the cells spoiled by lactic acid, and now you have a tumor. The tumor is the solution to stop systemic spoiling or metastasis. When the lymphatic system is healthy it will pull the lactic acid out of the tissues, and eventually you will sweat it out or it will be recycled back into the blood and you will urinate it out. So this is very, very important. So remember, when you are testing the pH of your urine, you are testing the pH of your tissues.

And when you are testing your saliva, you are testing your ability or potential to alkalize your food and drink. So when you’re saliva pH is below 7.2, your potential for alkalizing your food, drink and emotions is less. Your reserves are low. You need to make a deposit to your alkaline bank account. And that would be the same with your urine. When your urine is acidic, you need to start alkalizing. You run the risk of staying within an acidic zone; you run the risk of going through the seven stages of acidosis. Starting with lack of energy to sensitivities to inflammation, and working up to ulceration and degeneration.

Laurenzi: Should every doctor, hospital, nutritionist, health care professional be using pHydrion paper to monitor their patients’ body fluids?

Dr. Young: Absolutely, they should be giving pHydrion paper to their patients so they can monitor their tissue pH. Doctors need to educate NOT medicate. My goal is to empower every individual person on the planet to be able to take responsibility for their own health and fitness. I’ve expressed my theory very simply in what I call “the fishbowl” metaphor. The fishbowl metaphor is very simple to understand and it starts out with a question. Here is the question. "If the fish is sick, what would you do? Would you treat the fish or change the water?" If you said change the water you are correct. When you put on your common-sense hat and you ask this question, “if the fish is sick, what would you do? Treat the fish or change that water?” Right off the top of your head, you would say, “Dr. Young, I would change the water.” If you ask the same question to your doctor, what would you expect? “Well, I’d treat the fish.” Because that’s what doctors do. That’s their mindset. But when you realize that every cell in the body is eternal in nature, and would live forever if you would only maintain the correct alkaline pH, you see, there would be no aging of the body. I mean, in a perfect scenario. But, we don’t live in a perfect scenario. Ideally, in the perfect scenario, the life expectancy of the human cell, that makes up all of your organs and tissues are infinite. Every day you either choose to live or you choose to die—either by omission or commission. Either you do it with knowledge or you do it with a lack of knowledge. When you have a lack of knowledge, you live in acidic state and you can end up sick, tired and/or fat. It is critical for me to tell you that, “YES, testing your urine and saliva is the most important thing one can do to maintain the body in an alkaline state full of health, fitness, vitality, hope, love and peace.” You’ll be surprised at how healthy, energetic and strong you will get, even when everyone around you is getting sick. That just won’t happen to you anymore!

Laurenzi: Sir, if you’ll forgive me. I’ve just spent two days shooting in fish stores. If the fish is sick and the water’s dirty, do you give the fish a pill or do you change the water?

Dr. Young: If the fish is sick and the water’s dirty, do you give the fish a pill? The answer is definitely not, because that just contributes more to the internal environmental pollution. Taking a pill does not clean up the water. You’ve got to change the water and do it in a way that’s not going to kill the fish or the body cells that make up your tissues and organs. You have to do it in a way that’s going to be healthful and energetic. And, there is a way to do this. The way to do this is with an alkaline lifestyle and diet; I call “pH Miracle Living.”

Part 3 - Dropping A Ton and Having Fun- Are Enzymes and Probiotics Acidic?

The following is Part 3 of an interview of Dr. Robert O. Young by Rick Laurenzi, on the importance of acid/alkaline balance, food, water, nutrition, and the cause of obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Rick will be releasing a full length motion picture the beginning of next year called, "Dropping a Ton and Having Fun" with a subtitle of "Cancer is Simple." Rick has featured the science, lifestyle and diet of Dr. Robert and Shelley Young in his new movie.

When Rick started the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet over two years ago he weighed in at over 390 pounds. He has lost approximately 200 pounds in the last two years and has gained a significant amount of muscle weight. He feels great and looks great. His blood has improved and his over-all health and fitness is a reflection of that improvement. We hope to be announcing the release date of this exciting new movie soon. Please go to our website at: www.phmiracleliving to see a trailer on this new health and fitness movie or to sign up for our free newsletter.

And now Part 3, of Rick's interview with Dr. Young . . .

Rick Laurenzi: This next question sir is very important. I've talked to you a little bit the last couple of days about this question. It is in regards to the supplementation of probiotics and digestive enzymes. They both have strong anecdotal and seemingly clinical positive results. Is it harmful to take a tablespoon of enzymes with a quart of alkalizing greens, and do enzymes have a beneficial effect for the body?

Dr. Young: Taking probiotics and enzymes can have perceived health benefits with many long-term harmful effects.

Probiotics and enzymes are acidifying to the body and therefore should not be ingested for long periods of time.

Probiotics are biological transformations of what use to be healthy organized matter into bacteria, yeast and/or mold. All bacteria is the evidence of matter fermenting and breaking down to adapt to a changing acidic environment. There is no such thing as healthy bacteria. All bacteria including the ones found in the body and especially in the small and large intestines are morbid evolutions of putrefying plant and/or animal food and/or body cells. My theory is to keep your alimentary canal clear, clean, free of cellular debris and all bacteria, yeast or mold.
This would be the healthy alkaline state of the small and large bowel.

When one is constipated with undigested animal flesh in the small and/or large intestine, acidic probiotics and enzymes may help to breakdown this undigested protein. This may provide for temporary relief with better bowel elimination. This may be the only benefit from ingesting these potentially harmful acidic supplements.

The reason I suggest probiotics and enzymes are potentially harmful is they can also damage healthy cells and tissues, including the delicate intestinal villi. The intestinal villi, line the wall of approximately 27 feet of the small intestine, increasing the surface area to over 7,200 square feet. I call the intestinal villi of the small intestine the root system of the body. The intestinal villi are like plant roots and can be damaged by acidic food, drink, bacteria, yeast, mold, enzymes, probiotics, and antibiotics. Bottom-line, when you ingest enzymes and/or probiotics you may gain short-term benefits (the breakdown of undigested matter from meat and dairy) but you may also incur long-term damage to the root system of your body - the breakdown of the intestinal villi.

As I have mentioned, enzymes are acids. The word "enzyme" itself means "ferment". It is a Greek word. When you understand that enzymes are all acids, and that most of America is congested or constipated to a lesser or greater degree, any enzyme ingested may help break down some of the undigested food in the 9 yards of the intestine. This undigested food, (meat), which rarely completely breaks down on its own, comes from chicken, beef, turkey or fish. The real risk in taking enzymes or probiotics are the acidic damage to the root system of the body while trying to break down and eliminate undigested food. The best choice is to eliminate all animal protein from the diet to prevent the bowel congestion or constipation. Even the mucus created from the acids of dairy products (lactic acid) may be dissolved with enzymes and/or probiotics. But, long-term use of acidic enzymes or probiotics are not good for the health of the alimentary canal. Once again, the risk is a compromised alkaline environment in the small and large intestine and damage to the delicate intestinal villi of the small intestine.

My 30 years of research has indicated that the impact of enzymes and probiotics, including antibiotics will eventually compromise the alimentary canal and damage the delicate intestinal villi in the small intestine.

Once you understand that the alimentary canal is not a digestive system but an alkaline-buffering system, then you realize that from the mouth to the stomach, to the duodenum to the intestines, these organs are trying to raise the pH of the food, not digest the food.

Food, in and of itself, is broken down from the inside out from the mere fact that you break the membranes of that food with your teeth. Once you break the membranes of any organized matter, with your teeth, it will start its own disorganization or digestion. So, food digests from the inside out not from the outside in as suggested by current medical savants. The theory that food digests in the stomach is FALSE. Food is alkalized in the stomach not digested in the stomach. And, the major purpose of the stomach is to produce sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the food and the liquids you eat.

Out of the disorganizing food, acids or enzymes are released as a waste product of that disorganization or unfolding of the plant or animal cells. The enzymes or acids released from the food when broken with your teeth activates the alkaline-buffering system. The alkaline buffering system includes the mouth, the stomach, the pylorus glands, the duodenum, the pancreas, the gallbladder, and the alkalizing glands in the small intestine, that all release sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the food you eat and the liquids you drink. The major contributor of sodium bicarbonate for maintaining the alkaline design of the body is the stomach. The stomach therefore is an organ of contribution not an organ of digestion which is currently taught by traditional and holistic doctors. The stomach is an alkalizing organ.

In the mouth, the salivary glands start secreting sodium bicarbonate, to raise the alkalinity of the food and to neutralize or buffer the food enzymes or acids. The process of alkalizing the food continues in the stomach as the stomach lining releases sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the food. Yes, for every molecule of sodium bicarbonate produced to alkalize the food you ingest a molecule of hydrochloric acid is also produced. But, the hydrochloric acid never touches or should never come in contact with the food you eat. The sodium bicarbonate produced in the lining of the stomach rises to meet the food as the hydrochloric acid falls into the gastric pits of the stomach away from the food. Hydrochloric acid is the WASTE PRODUCT of sodium bicarbonate production and will destroy the life or electron potential of the food. That is why you find residues of hydrochloric acid in the stomach after the food has taken up all the alkaline sodium bicarbonate and left for the small intestine. The hydrochloric acid in the stomach is the evidence that the food has been alkalized and is on its way to the intestines for transformation into stem cells and then red blood cells. The primary site for stem cell and red blood cell production is in the crypts of the intestinal villi.

When the food leaves the stomach, hopefully in a liquefied alkaline state and enters the duodenum the pancreas secrets more sodium bicarbonate to raise the pH of the liquefied food up to an alkaline pH of 8.2 to 8.4. The food is now prepared to be received by the small intestine for transformation into stem cells and then red blood cells.

As the food enters the small intestine in a liquefied alkaline state it falls into the crypts of the intestinal villi to be transformed into the new stem cells that will become the new erythroblast, and the new erythrocyte or red blood cell. These new cells are then taken up into blood circulation via the portal vein and the inferior vena cava to the heart for oxygenation and general circulation.

What I have described to you is the normal healthy alkaline process of the food you ingest and how it is alkalized (not digested) and how it becomes your new blood and eventually your new body cells. The process of food becoming blood and then body cells takes place in an alkaline environment - not in an acidic environment.

When the small intestine is clear of bacteria, yeast, mold, enzymes, probiotics, antibiotics and undigested food, then the normal healthy process of food transformation can take place creating healthy strong stem cells that will then become healthy strong red blood cells and eventually healthy strong body cells.

Taking enzymes, probiotics and antibiotics disrupts this normal healthy alkaline process of creating stem cells and then red blood cells in the small intestine which then leads to ALL sickness and disease. This is also the cause of all anemic conditions of the blood. This is why I no longer use or recommend the use of supplemental probiotics and/or digestive enzymes. And, most important why I never recommend the ingestion of ANY antibiotics. They destroy the alkaline design of the body, beginning with the most important system of body - the alkaline buffering system.

One last thing to remember. When you eat raw foods you eat them for their electrical energy potential not for their enzyme potential. The enzymes in raw foods are released when you break their cellular membranes with your teeth. All enzymes are poisonous acidic waste products of cellular breakdown that are buffered in the mouth, stomach, duodenum and small intestine by sodium bicarbonate. The reason you should eat liberal amounts of organic raw electron-rich alkaline foods is for their electron-rich alkaline properties - not for their toxic acidic enzymes.

Finally, the answer to your question - Is it harmful to take a tablespoon of enzymes with a quart of alkalizing greens, and do enzymes have a beneficial effect for the body?

The answer to your question is absolutely yes - enzymes are harmful to the body. Enzymes should not be ingested with alkalizing greens. Enzymes destroy the alkalizing effect of the greens. And second, enzymes should only to be used with a client or patient with extreme bowel constipation and for a very short period of time. I prefer to have my clients use mineral salts such as magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium oxide to break-up the undigested proteins in the 9 yards of the small intestine. You can also drink whole leaf cold-pressed aloe vera juice, which can also be helpful in breaking up undigested food in the bowel. The best advise I can give you is to stay away from probiotics, antibiotics and enzymes and choose to alkalize your body with electron-rich alkaline foods and drinks. That is, if you want to live a life of health, energy and fitness, free from ALL sickness and disease?

Part 2 - Dropping A Ton and Having Fun and Cancer Is Simple

The following is Part 2 of an interview of Dr. Robert O. Young by Rick Laurenzi, on the importance of acid/alkaline balance, food, water, nutrition, and the cause of obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Rick will be releasing a full length motion picture the beginning of next year called, "Dropping a Ton and Having Fun" with a subtitle of "Cancer is Simple." Rick has featured the science, lifestyle and diet of Dr. Robert and Shelley Young in his new movie.

When Rick started the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet over two years ago he weighed in at over 390 pounds. He has lost approximately 200 pounds in the last two years and has gained a significant amount of muscle weight. He feels great and looks great. His blood has improved and his over-all health and fitness is a reflection of that improvement. We hope to be announcing the release date of this exciting new movie soon. Please go to our website at: www.phmiracleliving to see a trailer on this new health and fitness movie or to sign up for our free newsletter.

And now Part 2, Rick's interview with Dr. Young . . .

Rick Laurenzi: If someone is trying to maintain body weight, who is not obese, what is the optimum ratio of alkaline to acid ash foods to eat?

Dr. Young: If someone wants to maintain homeostasis/balance, or they’re at their ideal weight, or they’re happy with their weight, and they want to maintain that weight, the diet ratio would be 80% alkaline and 20% acidic foods or drinks. The 20% acidic foods or drinks would not include highly acidic foods, such as animal protein or dairy. One could include in the 20% acidic foods such things as grains, nuts or seeds which are more transitional. Maybe some of the low acidic fruits, like lemon, lime, tomato and grapefruit could also be part of the 20%.

Laurenzi: Do alkaline foods add electrons to the body?

Dr. Young: Absolutely, alkaline foods are full of electrons or electrical energy. This is the energy the body runs on. Electrons NOT calories. Alkaline foods and drinks wouldn’t be alkaline if they didn’t have electrons. That’s what makes them alkaline. In the duality of life there needs be opposition in all things that we might learn by our experience. It is through free agency, our life choices that we learn and grow and experience the unique differences between sickness and disease and health and vitality. The pH scale is a scientific measurement of the energy of the food or drink. The pH stands for the potential of hydrogen (H+) or proton concentration in a aqueous solution. The pH scale also measures the potential of hydroxyl ions (OH-) or electron concentration Any food or drink that is alkaline is going to be saturated with hydroxyl ion or electrons. Any food or drink that’s acidic is going to be saturated with hydrogen ions or protons. Let me give you an example for illustration purposes. When you go to the store to purchase batteries, do you purchase alkaline/electron rich batteries or do you purchase acidic/proton rich batteries? I know you know the answer. Remember the Ever Ready Battery Bunny who keeps on running and running and running? The reason the Bunny keeps on running is because he is an alkaline bunny saturated with electrons. When you purchase batteries for a flashlight you purchase the alkaline/electron rich batteries because they are full of energy. When batteries die or have no life, they’re acidic and saturated with protons. The same is true with the human body. When the body is full of alkalinity or electrons we are full of energy and life. When the body becomes acidic and saturated with protons we have little or no energy. I measure the food or drink with an alkaline electron meter to determine which foods and drinks have energy and which foods and drinks do not. Many foods will pull energy from the body and these are the foods which are highly acidic. Such as coffee, tea, alcohol, dairy and animal protein. If you want energy then you need to saturate your body with electron-rich alkaline foods and drinks. It is that simple. The body runs on electrons not protons. The body is electrical and it doesn’t run on calories. When you are looking to power up your body, like you would power up a car, I hope you use the best fuel. And, the best kind of fuel to power up the body is electron-rich alkaline foods, such as broccoli, spinach, cucumber, avocado, celery, parsley, kale, okra, just to name a few.

Laurenzi: Is it also fair to say the alkaline foods become an antioxidant?

Dr. Young: All alkaline foods and drinks are saturated with antioxidants that buffer the acids of digestion, metabolism and the external environment. The word “antioxidant” was coined several years ago by a pharmaceutical company to market their drugs. It is a word to describe some of the phytochemicals or nutrients they had isolated for buffering free radicals. Several scientists have suggested that free radicals or reactive oxygen species were damaging body cells and causing cancer. In truth, the antioxidant is nothing more than an agent of energy or electron that buffers dietary and metabolic acidity. And, any agent that buffers acidity is going to be an antioxidant, which allows for an internal environment to be more oxygenated or alkaline. Dietary and metabolic acids create more of an environment that’s oxygen-deprived, so this word antioxidant has become very, very popular. But, I do not believe that people really understand what antioxidant means. It’s not that it’s against oxygenation, it’s against oxidants, and oxidants are things that rust or break down the body. Oxidants are acids! Anything that rusts, ferments, or breaks down the body is an acid. So anything we can do to neutralize ferments or acids is good and healthful to the body. Using antioxidants, such as glutathione, N-acetyl-Cysteine, luctein, pycnogenol, Vitamin D, E and F, will buffer or neutralize the toxic ferment or acid and this would be a positive thing for keeping the body young, healthy, and energized.

Laurenzi: So conversely, acidic foods take electrons away from our body.

Dr. Young: You are absolutely correct. Acidic foods steals electrons and energy from your body. This is what happens when we eat proton-rich acidic foods. Whether it is chicken, eggs, dairy, bread, or any form of sugar they will pull energy from your body rather than contribute energy to our body. A continued use of proton-rich acidic foods or drinks will eventually make you tired, sick and then dead! Do not be fooled by the drug and food companies. Most drug and food companies are marketing drugs, foods and liquids that will eventually shorten your life, increase your addiction, and bring you pain, sorrow and a miserable death.

Laurenzi: What about our pets, like our dogs and cats, should they have greens for a healthy diet?

Dr. Young: Absolutely. Whether you are human or animal, anyone that’s alive and breathing on this planet, requires foods and drinks that will energize the body. The food and drink that will energize the body and keep it young and healthy are the electron-rich alkaline foods and drinks. Humans and animals DO NOT NEED PROTEIN FROM ANIMAL SOURCES TO BE HAPPY, STRONG, HEALTHY AND FULL OF ENERGY. The strongest men and animals in the world DO NOT eat animal protein. Muscles are NOT build from protein. Muscles are built from blood and blood is built from electron-rich alkaline foods. If you want to live longer full of health and vitality then stay away from animal protein and eat liberal amounts of electron-rich alkaline green foods.

Laurenzi: What are some of the common health crises, diseases, caused by the highly-acidic, high-glycemic, electron-lacking diet?

Dr. Young: When I talk about disease or “dis-ease”, I am really focusing on the state of imbalance in the body that is brought on by an inverted way of living, eating, and thinking. All disease or dis-ease is caused by individual choice. You do not get sick you have to do sick by making acidic lifestyle and dietary choices. When you choose to eat acidic foods or drink, such as animal flesh or dairy products, like cheese you set yourself up for a serious health challenge, such as breast cancer for a woman or prostate cancer for a man. I made this statement over 25 years ago that all sickness and disease is a result of an inverted way of living, eating, and thinking. It is critical to understand the foundational principle of good health. The foundational principal of understanding is knowing that the human body is alkaline by design and acidic by function. When you understand that the body needs to be maintained in an alkaline state in order to have sustainable energy, health and vitality, then everything you drink, everything you eat, every activity you engage in, even your thoughts, must be alkaline. Your health, energy and vitality, is an expression of what we’re eating, what your drinking and what you are thinking. If you are eating an acidic diet, that’s creating internal acidic pollution, and a breakdown or fermentation of body cells — this of course will lead to a host of all types of dis-ease conditions. There are seven stages of dis-ease or acidity. I have said there is only one sickness and one disease? The one sickness and one disease is the over-acidification of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, thinking and eating. This one disease and one sickness has seven stages or seven expressions, which have been categorized by medical science as in different types of diseases. But there is NOT many diseases only one disease and one health! For example, cancer is part of that one disease. MS is part of that one disease. Heart disease and diabetes are also part of the one disease. Allergies, arthritis, osteoporosis, bowel restrictions-congestions, from divirticulitis to divirtiulosis, Crohn’s, all of these diseases are the result of a compromised alkaline design through individual acidic lifestyle and dietary choice. The seven stages of dis-ease or acidity are as follows:

1) The first stage of acidosis is enervation.
2) The second stage of acidosis is sensitivities and irritation.
3) The third stag of acidosis the third is catarrh or mucus buildup.
4) The fourth stage is inflammation.
5) The fifth stage in induration or fibrotic tissue or hardening of the arteries.
6) The sixth stage is ulceration such as in an ulcerated liver, stomach or bowels.
7) And the seventh stage of acidosis is degeneration. All degenerative conditions are caused by environmental, dietary and/or metabolic acids, such as osteoporosis, MS and ALL cancers.

But whatever the dis-ease condition, there’s only one cause. And, that one cause is excess-acidity from lifestyle and dietary choice that compromises your internal environment, that then leads to a breakdown of your body cells and tissues. You will feel your stage of acidity. You will eventually sit down to the banquet of your lifestyle and dietary choices. There is NO escape!

Laurenzi: What percentage of the average American diet would you consider to be based on acidic foods?

Dr. Young: The standard American diet is 100% acid. It is the major cause of ALL dis-ease and disease. It is at the foundation of the American health crisis. It is the reason so many are sick, tired and dying. It is the reason diabetes, cancer and heart disease is on the rise. It is the major cause of family and national economic bankruptcy. The nation is looking for change. The change we need must include education NOT medication. Prevention is the cure for disease NOT treatment. True prevention comes with an electron-rich alkaline lifestyle and diet. There is NO other way. The diet in America and around the world must change from an acidic lifestyle and diet to an alkaline diet. I would suggest at least 80% alkaline and 20% acidic.

Laurenzi: I can’t even think of where the 20% alkaline food and drink comes in for America.

Dr. Young: You are right. Most people in America are eating the 100% acid Standard American Diet. But, there are those who are eating alkaline green salads, low sugar alkaline fruits, and green vegetables vegetables. The American government has recommended 5 or 6 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. This is a good start but it is not enough. We should be eating 3 to 4 times that. People should also be drinking water and the right kind of water - electron-rich alkaline water with a pH of 9.5. The reality is — the standard American diet is 100% acid with all the meat, dairy and grain and very little or no raw fruit and vegetables.

Laurenzi: This next question, is there any fish fleshes out there that are alkaline in nature, or are all fish fleshes acidic?

Dr. Young: All fish is acidic. The only saving grace for eating fish is eating fatty fish. Fatty fish, like salmon or trout contains long chain or super-long chain polyunsaturated alkaline fats. Alkaline fats from fish, seeds, fruit or vegetables has a calming effect because it is buffering dietary and/or metabolic acid. The acidic fat is saturated fat and generally comes from animal protein. We don’t need animal protein or saturated fat. What we need are the long-chain polyunsaturated fats which buffers the acidity created through diet and metabolism. If you eat fish, it is a two-sided sword. It’s better not to eat fish, with all of the other associated problems that are currently out there, with metal toxicity, and just the cleanliness of ocean and lake fish is now question. But you know, if you were transitioning, fish like sea bass or trout or salmon, may be acceptable. But ideally, it is not acceptable, because all fish is highly acidic. There are better ways to get good electron-rich alkaline oils, the polyunsaturated oils or fats, than eating fish. I would suggest those good electron-rich alkaline sources for polyunsaturated oil comes from flax seed, hemp seed, olive, avocado, primrose, borage seed, just to name a few.
