RHeumatoid Arthritis - Going - Going - Gone!

Dear Friends:

Please read the following account of the reversal of Rheumatoid Arthritis using the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet -

Dr. Young, (cc Dr. Rick McKinney),

It's me, Megan McNealy Graves, and I wanted to thank you for a wonderful retreat at your ranch on June 4-7th. I wanted to give you an update on my progress!

As you know, I have suffered from diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthiritis for the past four years-- the first two years (from 5/5/05), Plaquenil wiped out all the symptoms, but for the past two years, I have lived with an incredible amount of pain--it first started in my knees, then hands, wrists, ankles and feet. This spring it started also in my shoulders, neck and jaw. My main Rheumatologist, Dr. Clare Targoff, has really encouraged me for the past two years to get on Methotrexate ASAP, and then she assumed, since I have a "moderate to severe" case, that I would then need yet the next level of pharmaceuticals (Enbrel, etc)

Before I came to the retreat at your ranch, I was at a real "low". I was tempted to just give in and take the toxic drugs.

But then I thought I would give your diet another chance. I read your book, The PH Miracle, last year, and had written Dr. McKinney at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine about how well I was feeling last summer. He was very encouraged. But, then came a very busy work load this fall, and I fell a bit away from your program--instead of the purely aklaline diet, I started to eat fruit again, glass of wine here and there. I wasn't doing the oil and salts and exercise and alkaline water either, which I know now is a huge part.

Since I was at your ranch, and since I have committed to your suggestions, my symptoms have really started to reverse.

Day 2, June 5th, the day you did my blood analysis. I was nowhere near as tired.

Day 3, June 6th, during the night, not so painful to turn over (in my shoulders), hands and feet not as painful and stiff in the morning, can completely close left hand into fist (first time in a year). This is the day, you remember that we RAN together 1.5 miles. I have not run in 3 years, as it has been too painful. You saw me-- I looked pretty good! :-) I didn't have any soreness in any joints after. Your recommendation to work out everyday, really sweat, is something that I took to heart and I have been exercising daily since.

Day 4, balls of feet don't have as much pain walking

Day 5, June 10, at daughter's class picnic, opened three plastic water bottles by myself (first time in two years)--oddly enough, I opened the caps and didn't notice any pain. Can do muscle stretch fully on left leg and 3/4 way on right (normally can't put my ankle at this angle)

Day 10, at dinner with clients, I was able to walk down stairs at restaurant foot over foot rather than two feet on each stair like usual. Did 25 minutes on elliptical machine at very good pace with no pain. In afternoon held tennis racket and with some pain, I was able to play "mini tennis". Not able to do full court.

Day 12, went running and had no foot pain or knee pain as long as I stayed on flat surface (no tilts)

Today is Day 13, and I am the same as yesterday. I keep looking for all signs of improvement. I am already starting to forget how horrible I was feeling two weeks ago.

I am so encouraged, and I want to thank you for your recommendations. Thank you for telling me what is really wrong with me. I will send Dr McKinney the 41 page report that you made for me, complete with the photos of my live blood analysis. I will have that in the mail to him tomorrow.

Lastly, my mom and dad, Margaret and Ken, had a wonderful time at the retreat also. Dad has lost 20 lbs as of yesterday, and Mom has lost 12 lbs. They said that they have so much more energy and are thinking so clearly.

All the best to you,

Megan McNealy Graves

Life Changing and Life Saving at the Rancho del Sol

The following is an email letter from one of our guests who attended our last pH Miracle Retreat at the Rancho del Sol in San Diego, California. For more information go to:

==============================================================

I woke up this morning to music of the birds at this San Diego mountain health retreat...I looked outside and noticed everything was wet, there was a fine misting, the mountains and hill tops are majestic with tons of grapefruit and avocados dangling from trees both near and far away. The trees are green, flowers bursting open everywhere and the view is so beautiful that you can only "wonder" and take it all in slowly and deliberately. I see God everywhere! I have to remember to breathe! I am feeling great this morning. I know the few other people who are here for health reasons are also waking up wherever they are and I wonder how they are feeling and what they are thinking. I am sure the world would look upon us as a cult...and that we are following some crazy cult leader who insists that we follow a strict set of alkaline rules every day to make us totally healthy! If that is what we are, then I am ready for my day to begin! I am ready to be in the alkaline cult! I can now better understand the privileges of the rich and famous that can afford to do whatever they want to do. I feel truly blessed that I am able to be here and am being granted the opportunity to stay and not feel stressed about the tremendous costs.... How can you attempt to put a price on something that is priceless to you? My day is about to unfold once again...please do not feel sorry for me, you should feel some slight envy!

Breakfast of green juice and a green morning shake with fresh made almond milk is on its way to me via room/home service within a few minutes.... I am in a home by myself and still cannot believe how fortunate I am to be here. I will soon go for an early morning private infared sauna and then maybe yoga and exercise at Dr Young's home. I will get to sit with Dr Young and chat about politics, medicine, health care, crazy and silly stuff and ask questions back and forth. He is a regular and genuine guy. There may be only a few of us or a dozen or more who will attend these informal Younga yoga sessions....some of us may like to go and some don't or can't. I usually sit and do what I can and ignore the moves that are too challenging.

Daily Colonics are routine at this place. Who would have thought about doing a colonic?? A specialist is brought in daily to give alklaizing colonics. In fact, it is interesting to see that Dr Young is personally treating himself to the same cleansing along with his family. Later, I may go for a 2 mile walk with Dr Young if I feel up to it. I may then cleanse my lungs for half hour with a special & natural supplement and breathing program Dr Young recommends. I may take a walk to the main kitchen and visit with the chef and ask about the procedures and recipes and have a conversation as I watch the alkalizing meals and drinks being prepared. I will then take another long afternoon or evening infared sauna till I am sweating away an abundance of toxins from my body! Then, it is time to go shower, relax, check my emails and wait for lunch to be served at my home. I can anticipate more alkaline green juice, a delicious hot soup and more fresh squeezed almond milk, fresh avocados & possibly a small salad. If this is a cult, I am falling in love!

I sit here and cry sometimes and I am not sure why. I am not sure if it is happy tears or sad tears. However, I get to reflect on life, you and me, business, family, friends, the past, the present, the future, life, death, the good, the bad & the ugly! My tears fall freely and abundantly and I don't have to feel ashamed or macho about how I am feeling! My urine, sweat and saliva are now at perfect alkaline levels...so are my tears!

I now understand why it is important to come here to learn how to take care of yourself. Reading a book or watching a DVD cannot be enough. I am learning the routine, the formulas, the frequencies, how to cook, what to cook, how to pace myself, how to explain pains and side effects of cleansing the body! I will be in a better position to help anyone who may want to learn how to do it also. However, I no longer care whether anyone else cares to do this. Obviously, there are sacrifices to be made and most people will not want to trade their current lifestyles and comfort foods for a totally healthy lifestyle of living foods, and that is fine with me. Until we are faced with life & death decisions, most of us will not examine alternatives to what we are doing and why we are deteriorating. In fact, I am realizing that even when we are facing life and death decisions and an unhealthy body, we may choose to stick with old familiar habits and not make the necessary change to new life saving habits! I am now realizing that I need to accept such decisions from others because I cannot personally change individuals and I cannot personally change the world. This makes it even more difficult when those closest to you in life are not ready to take care of their own body, as they should. At least I know that I will be an example of the change one may want to consider!

I just wanted to share my thoughts with you as I woke up this beautiful Sunday morning.... that's all!

This Article Will Make You Mad!

I BELIEVE THIS ARTICLE WILL MAKE YOU MAD!! I just can't fathom the cynicism that these facts present. And we thought Bankers and Wall Streeters were sleazey!

Let me have Bernie Madoff back, if Health Insurers are the trade-offs!

Health insurers want you to keep smoking, Harvard doctors say

http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/60-second-science/post.cfm?id=health-insurers-want-you-to-keep-sm-2009-06-03&sc=WR_20090609

Health and life insurance companies in the U.S. and abroad have nearly $4.5 billion invested in tobacco stocks, according to Harvard doctors.

The Beauty of an Alkaline Water Crystal

This is the first time our alkaline, ionized water from a
water ionizer has been tested by Dr. Emoto,
who was featured in the movie "What the Bleep do
we Know", and “Water, The Great Mystery”. This July/August we
will be releasing our 7 Plate titanium platinum Young pHorever Life Ionizer that will make this beautiful alkalizing water.

Soft Drinks Cause Muscle Weakness and Even Paralysis

Drinking several liters of acidic cola-containing soft drinks per day can cause a chronic depletion of alkalizing potassium in the body, leading to muscle weakness and even paralysis, according to Greek doctors.

While you might think that "excessive soft drink consumption at this level is so rare that it is not a public health issue," writes the author of an accompanying editorial in the International Journal of Clinical Practice, "we have every reason to think that it is not rare."

Dr. Moses Elisaf and associates at the University of Ioannina, Greece identified six reports of cola-induced potassium deficiency published since 1994. Quantities of cola consumed ranged from 2 to 9 liters per day.

Muscle complaints ranged from mild weakness to profound paralysis, and all patients had abnormally low alkalizing potassium levels in the blood.

"Fortunately," Elisaf and colleagues write, "all patients had a rapid and complete recovery after the discontinuation of cola ingestion and the oral or intravenous supplementation of potassium."

In his editorial, Dr. Clifford D. Packer at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, comments that "there is very little doubt that tens of millions of people in industrialized countries drink at least 2-3 L of cola per day."

Packer stresses that "the soft drink industry needs to promote safe and moderate use of its products for all age groups, reduce serving sizes, and pay heed to the rising call for healthier drinks."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of the pH Miracle Living Center, "sodas have a pH of 2.5 to 3.0 and an oxidative reduction potential of over +350 mV. This means that sodas are highly acidic and will compromise the delicate alkaline pH balance of the body leading to dis-ease. Sodas contain the acids of carbonic acid, citric acid, sugar and many times caffeine that can make you sick, tired, overweight or underweight. Eliminating acidic soda water, colas or soft drinks will reduce acidity in the body and thus reduce the symptoms of acidity, including irritation, inflammation and even degeneration."

Acids From Alcohol and Protein Causes Cancer

Drinking more than one acid alcoholic beverage a day dramatically increases your risk of developing a cancerous bowel. Large amounts of highly acidic red meat increases this risk, according to researchers at The George Institute in Sydney, Australia, who analyzed more than 100 international studies reaching as far back as the 1960s.

“It’s the first definitive study to quantify the role of lifestyle . . . on the risk of developing colorectal cancer,” associate professor Rachel Huxley told AAP.

“People who eat the highest amount of red and processed meat have about 20 percent greater risk of developing the cancer than those who don’t eat meat,” Huxley said. The risk was similar for those who are obese, smoke, or have diabetes.

But those who drink the acid alcohol face a much higher risk. “We found the risk was 60 percent, and what’s classified as the highest intake isn’t very much,” she said. Just more than one acid drink daily — or more than seven acid drinks during a week — significantly increased the risk when compared to those who didn’t drink alcohol at all.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, in Valley Center, California, "the dietary toxins of uric, sulfuric, phosphoric and nitric acid from beef, pork, chicken, turkey and eggs have been directly linked in a landmark ten year study by the World Center Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research in the cause of colon, rectum, breast, liver, prostate, kidney and pancreatic cancer. The use of the acid alcohol causes mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, lung, liver, colon, rectum, and breast cancer. In addition, this landmark study linked the ingestion of vegetables and fruit with the prevention of mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, lung, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, rectum, breast, ovary, endometrium, cervix, prostate, thyroid, kidney and bladder.

The Young's C.O.W.S. Plan

The program for "pH Miracle Living" is encapsulated in Dr. Young's "C.O.W.S." Plan. The "C.O.W.S." Plan stands for the following:

"C" - Chlorophyll, Clay and Cleansing with green plant foods, green vegetable juices, liquid chlorophyll, and montmorillonite clay.

"O" - Oxygen and Oil including daily exercise for at least 1 hour and 2 to 3 ounces of unsaturated oil from avocado, hemp, pomegarnate, pumpkin, flax and olive.

"W" - Water that is pure and ionized at a pH of 9.5 and an electrical potential of -150 mV.

"S" - Salt and sunshine with an increase in sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium mineral salts and 30 minutes a day of sunshine.

Every food we eat has an electrical charge. The closer the food to its natural state, the higher the charge. Dr. Robert O. Young breaks vitamins and minerals into tiny colloidal particles that are easy to absorb-and then supercharges them so they are actually attracted to your cells and instantly utilized.

Robert O. Young, MS, D.Sc., Ph.D. and his wife Shelley Redford Young L.M.T. are the authors of many books which include:

The pH Miracle, Sick and Tired, The pH Miracle for Diabetes, The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, Back to the House of Health, and Back to the House of Health 2.
